The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Patrick quickly filled Candice in on the situation.noveldrama

Candice listened closely, finally relaxing and letting out a sigh of relief.

"Alright, I'll go with you."

Patrick knew Candice well enough to know she wouldn't get caught up in petty drama.

Emerald City Harmony Hospital was close to the airport, and with Patrick speeding all the way, they got there in no time.

Candice sensed Patrick's urgency and didn't say much. She hopped out of the car and followed him upstairs, guided by a nurse to Luna's room.

As expected, the place was already in chaos.

Patrick first spotted Emily, who was discussing surgery details with a doctor outside the

room.

Seeing Patrick and Candice arrive, Emily was initially surprised, then assumed Michael had called them, and thanked them.

"Thanks for coming. Candice, when did you get back?"

Candice replied, "Just got off the plane."

Emily was taken aback. "Just got off the plane? That must have been tough."

Candice smiled slightly, but her gaze was fixed on the room door. Patrick, standing beside her, frowned deeply and asked Emily, "How's Luna doing?"

Emily sighed heavily, her tone somber. "It's not looking good. Luna doesn't want to keep the baby, and she won't say who the father is. So, we're preparing to contact the doctor to perform an abortion. We need to stabilize Luna first and prevent her from breaking down."

Hearing this, both Candice and Patrick nodded repeatedly.

Candice agreed wholeheartedly. "That's right. While the baby is important, we must respect the mother's wishes. If she doesn't want it, we can't force her."

"Let's get the doctor to arrange the surgery quickly," Patrick added.

Emily nodded and turned to notify the doctor.

Seeing this, Candice quickly said to Patrick, "Aren't you going to check on her?"

A girlfriend as understanding as Candice was rare.

Patrick could guess some of her thoughts. After all, their relationship had been rushed, and how much affection could there be now?

Candice might be allowing this out of kindness.

Patrick, being considerate, exchanged a glance with Candice before entering the room, feeling grateful.

In the room, Luna was already fast asleep.

Alice and Veda had gone out to buy essentials for Luna, leaving only Luna and Patrick in the room.

Patrick tiptoed to the bedside, gazing at Luna's pale face, a mix of emotions welling up inside him.

He sighed softly, sat down slowly, and held Luna's cold hand, silently praying.

Praying for Luna's safety and for her to escape the cold, terrifying grip of the Ward family.

Patrick's prayers echoed softly in the empty room, the sunlight filtering through the curtains, casting a serene yet heavy atmosphere.

Time seemed to stand still, with only the sound of heartbeats audible.

Patrick's eyes reddened slightly. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.

He gently stroked Luna's hair, memories of their past flooding his mind, filling his heart with a whirlwind of emotions.

Soon, Candice entered the room.

"The doctor's on the way. Let's step out."

Patrick nodded silently, knowing Candice wouldn't let him linger with his ex-girlfriend for too long.

But he had done what he needed to do. Now, he felt a deep sympathy for Luna, who had become a victim of her family's oppressive control. He admired her courage and lamented the cruel fate that had ensnared her.

Candice patted Patrick's shoulder, signaling him to get up.

They walked out together, the smell of disinfectant filling the hallway, their footsteps echoing in the silence.

Soon, hurried footsteps approached, and Emily came over.

Seeing Patrick's red eyes, she didn't understand the reason but heard him say, "Emily, if you need any help, just let me know."

Candice nodded in agreement, and Emily, slightly stunned, nodded gratefully, feeling a warmth in her heart. She assumed they were there for Michael's sake, silently acknowledging the power of his influence.

In Emerald City, Michael indeed had significant sway.

Emily realized that if she stayed here, Michael's influence would be everywhere.

It might be better to leave for Everglade City once the child was older.

Emily believed she would have a better life there, free from these troubles and complex relationships.

With this thought, Emily clenched the medical records in her hand, a determined look in her eyes.

But before leaving, she had to secure the best treatment for Luna and fight for more rights within the Ward family, as a final act for her mother, and herself.

Meanwhile, outside, the sun was shining brightly.

Sunlight streamed through the window, casting dappled shadows on the hallway floor.

Hayden waited impatiently until the guard finally notified him.

"Visiting time."

Hayden, already annoyed, took a deep breath and lazily stood up, heading to the visiting room.

"Why did it take so long?" Hayden asked.

The guard, not giving Hayden a chance to complain, turned with a frown, her silence expressing her displeasure.

Seeing this, Hayden didn't dare say more, lowering his head and following her slowly through the hallway.

In the visiting room, dim light shone overhead.

This was the brightest place Evelyn had seen in a while.

She looked much more haggard, even more so than during her time at the Emerald City psychiatric hospital.

Seeing Hayden enter, she was initially stunned, then quickly covered her face, sobbing quietly.

Hayden hadn't seen Evelyn in a while.

If it weren't for the unresolved shares issue, he might have forgotten her entirely.

He coughed lightly, sitting opposite Evelyn under the guard's watchful eye. Seeing her disheveled state and smelling the foul odor emanating from her, he felt disgusted but had to feign concern.

"Evelyn!"

Evelyn trembled in fear.

Since leaving the Brown family, she had experienced extreme highs and lows, first

being treated as mentally ill, then becoming a criminal suspect.

In simple terms, she had been manipulated all along.
