The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains
Chapter 206 Foods to Avoid During Pregnancy

Sophia was a bit thrown off when she heard that.

But with Veda having no proof and Michael looking all confused, she could only snap back, "Veda! What are you even saying? Michael's always wanted a kid, and I've been trying so hard to give him one. Now you're calling this baby illegitimate? What do you expect your nephew to do when he's born?"

"I'm so unlucky. Even the baby I've carried for ten months has to suffer with me. What did I do to deserve this?"

Seeing this, Michael naturally thought Veda was just stirring up trouble. "Veda, have I spoiled you too much? Stop talking nonsense."

After all, he had seen Sophia's medical report. The hospital wouldn't lie, and this wasn't something that could be faked for long. Sophia didn't have the means, and he wouldn't be that gullible.

Veda shot back, "Michael! Are you really going to let this woman make a scene? She says she's two months pregnant, but I saw her two months ago, and I saw her a month ago. Once, she was drinking, and once she was eating crabs. Michael, even though you're a guy, you know what those things mean, right?"

As soon as Veda said that, Michael and Sophia were stunned.

Emily was even more shocked, unable to process it for a while.

Crabs... that was a big no-no during pregnancy.

Even if Sophia didn't know she was pregnant and accidentally ate crabs, her body wouldn't lie. She should've had some reaction, and the baby would've been affected.

But now...

"Nonsense! When did I eat crabs? Veda, stop slandering me. Even if I did, I don't remember. The baby is fine. Don't tarnish the baby's reputation!" Sophia was completely flustered.

If she had admitted to eating crabs from the start, Veda might have given her a chance to explain.

But she denied it at first, then said she might have eaten them.

Regardless of whether she ate them or not, Sophia insisted that Veda was tarnishing the baby's reputation.

Sophia always liked to force others to deny everything using this method.

But Veda loved to argue, and she still had that sharpness like Scarlett.

Taking advantage of Michael being injured and unable to protect Sophia, Veda immediately grabbed her and said aggressively, "Isn't it easy to verify if I'm slandering you? We're in the neurology department now. Turn left downstairs to the obstetrics and gynecology department. Let's go, I'll go with you for another check-up. I want to see if eating crabs has harmed my nephew!"

With that, Veda forcefully dragged Sophia along.

Emily, of course, didn't help. She knew Veda's intention and wanted to see what Sophia was up to.

So when Michael tried to get up to save Sophia, she stepped forward to stop him. "If you want to stay alive, lie down. The doctor said you can't move around after your wound was cleaned. Veda knows what she's doing. She won't let her own nephew get hurt. If you don't believe in the fake pregnancy, at least believe in Veda."

"I'm a woman, I know better than you. Crabs are something pregnant women absolutely can't eat. Do you know how much she ate at Mabel's birthday banquet? Are you a doctor who can confirm the baby is fine?"

Emily's barrage of questions finally left Michael with no choice.

He obediently got back into bed, letting the noise outside fade away.

"Veda, are you out of your mind? Let go of me, or I'll never forgive you!" Out of Michael's sight, Sophia dropped the act and yelled at Veda, but Veda acted like she didn't hear a thing.

She was dead set on dragging Sophia to the obstetrics and gynecology department downstairs.

At that moment, Sophia knew that if they went downstairs for a check-up, her lie would be exposed.

Veda wouldn't keep her secret, and Michael wouldn't let her off the hook.

And Emily would be all smug again?

The more she thought about it, the more panicked she got. Sophia decided to fake a fall and act like she couldn't walk, but as she stumbled, a strong hand steadied her. Sophia was shocked and turned to see it was Daniel.

"Daniel? What a coincidence?" Veda was thrilled to see him.

But she didn't forget her main goal, holding onto Sophia tightly with no intention of letting go.

Seeing this, Daniel was a bit taken aback. "Veda, what are you doing..."

Veda replied, "Daniel, I'm taking her to the obstetrics and gynecology department for a check-up!"

Daniel knew who Sophia was, and hearing Veda say this, he was curious but more surprised.

'A check-up? Could it be that she's pregnant with Michael's child? Then what about Emily...' As Daniel frowned and thought, Veda's clear and lively voice rang out again. "Daniel, I remember you mentioning that you know how to take a pulse, right?"

Knowing Sophia's tricks and Michael's confusion, Veda came up with a win-win solution. It could determine if Sophia was really pregnant and let Michael see and hear for himself.

No matter the result, the Smith family wouldn't be fooled.

As for whether to keep Sophia and the baby, that would be decided later.

Hearing this, Daniel and Sophia had starkly different reactions.

Daniel calmly nodded and politely responded to Veda. "I know a bit, Veda. I'm surprised you remember."

Sophia, on the other hand, was furious, wanting to disappear into a hole and escape the hospital.

But the more she acted this way, the more suspicious Veda became.

So Veda called Daniel to help bring Sophia back to Michael's VIP room.

Unlike the confident and radiant Sophia from earlier, Emily now clearly sensed her unease and discomfort.

Could it be... there was really something wrong with the baby?

Or did the baby not exist at all?

If her suspicions were confirmed, how would Michael treat Sophia? Would he show mercy or...

As Emily's thoughts raced, Veda closed the door and spoke directly to Daniel and Michael. "Michael, I ran into Daniel by chance! Since Sophia doesn't want to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department for a check-up, I'll use the quickest method. Daniel can check her pulse. In a few minutes, we'll know the condition of my nephew!"

Although Michael didn't like Daniel, he had taken Emily's words to heart.

He nodded, agreeing to Veda's "nonsense."
