Emily furrowed her brow and whispered, "I... I don't know. The doctor said...""This young lady is indeed pregnant! Absolutely!" The doctor in charge of drawing blood stepped out, pointing to the test report in her hand. "Look here, this HCG index is a clear indication of pregnancy. There's no mistake.""W... What?""HCG, human chorionic gonadotropin. Your HCG level is over twenty, indicating you're about five to seven weeks pregnant. We need further examination to confirm the details."Five to seven weeks?She had only known Mr. Satan for a little over a month, maybe less than two."Thank you, doctor. I'll take her for further examination."The doctor nodded, somewhat surprised, and glanced at Mr. Satan. "Forgive me for asking, but is your face... I mean no offense, but our hospital has excellent dermatology and plastic surgery departments. If needed, you can consult them on the second floor."Mr. Satan paused.He neither confirmed nor denied, just smiled faintly, maintaining his gen
"Let her go!"Nathan had somehow appeared outside the obstetrics and gynecology department.Sophia's operating room was far from here. Shouldn't he be there and guard her? How did he end up here?Emily pushed against Mr. Satan, signaling him to let her go.But Mr. Satan showed no intention of releasing her. Instead, he held her tighter, clearly indicating possession.Nathan's gaze changed instantly, a hint of tension between the two men.Emily struggled, but couldn't break free from his grip. She could only let him hold her. "Let's go.""No, you can't leave!" Nathan rushed up, blocking Mr. Satan's path, sneering, "Emily, you're still my wife, yet you're carrying another man's child. You think you can just walk away like this?"His voice was loud, immediately drawing the attention of many around.Outside the obstetrics and gynecology department, there were many pregnant women and their family members waiting for consultations. Their noise had quieted down, and all eyes were now on her,
"So, you're the boss of the Reed Group?! Give back our money!""Corrupt capitalist, how many people have you ruined?!"The scene outside the maternity ward was chaotic, with Nathan instantly surrounded by a group of pregnant women and men."Emily, let's go."Mr. Satan carried Emily with his arms and smoothly escorted her away from the commotion.As they got into the car, Emily still felt a lingering unease.Mr. Satan tenderly rubbed her forehead, fastened her seatbelt, and started the car. "Don't worry, your uncle is fine."Emily looked up at him.Mr. Satan gave her a gentle look. "I have some connections in New York City. Nathan can't touch the people I want to protect."Every time he said something like this, he seemed nonchalant. It was as if things that were difficult for ordinary people were trivial for him.If Nathan was considered an upper-class man, Emily couldn't imagine what Mr. Satan's true identity might be. When the truth was revealed, she wasn't sure if she could handle
Things were getting worse in the hospital at this moment.Nathan was surrounded by a group of people, and it was thanks to the security guards that Nathan was rescued.Full of anger, Nathan lit a cigarette, furrowing his brow as he took a drag and exhaled white smoke.Carol had been looking for him for a while and finally found Nathan in the smoking room. She was frantic, and finding Nathan felt like finding a savior. "Nathan, what should we do? The doctor said Sophia might not be able to keep the baby..."Impatiently, Nathan furrowed his brow. "If she can't keep it, then so be it. It's even better if there's no baby. Give her some money and let her leave."Carol sat down next to him, grumbling irritably, "I used to think Sophia was a cultured and refined woman, so I accepted her. I hoped she would give birth to an heir, but I didn't expect her to be so useless, sigh..."Nathan was still angry. How dare Emily's lover flaunt his presence in front of him? What infuriated him the most wa
Days passed like water, and since Emily found out she was pregnant, she became increasingly cautious.The person who is even more cautious than her was Mr. Satan.At ten in the morning, she was cooking in the kitchen when Olivia leaned against the kitchen door and complained, "Is Allen Parker really just a CEO of an entertainment company? Are you sure he doesn't own a cash printer?"Emily was frying eggs. "What's wrong?""He said he'd pay me ten thousand every day to take you to the hospital to deliver meals to your father. Ten thousand a day!" Olivia pouted. "He'd be better off buying a nanny car and hiring a driver, nanny, and bodyguard. Their salaries combined wouldn't even reach ten thousand a day."Emily just laughed when she heard it. "I mentioned to him last time that you were short of pocket money recently. I didn't expect him to come up with this method.""Oh my god," Olivia threw her phone directly. "Did you really tell him that?""Yeah," Emily nodded. "You said you liked a
Emily hadn't seen Jackson for almost a week.The last time at the city hall, if it weren't for him, Nathan would have forced her. No matter how bad Jackson's attitude was, Emily remembered his favor."Um..." Emily asked awkwardly, "What's bothering you?""My heart.""...Heart disease?"Jackson was furious. "No heart disease. My body is as strong as a bull, my heart is perfectly fine!"Emily took a step back, avoiding his anger."If it's not a heart problem, then what is it?""I just can't figure it out," Jackson stood with his hands on his hips, looking down at her, "You're pretty, but there are many pretty women out there, and you have a bad temper, not to mention you're dumb. I just don't understand why I feel uneasy when I haven't seen you for a few days?"Emily was stunned. "Huh?""What's with the 'huh'? Are you pretending to be stupid again?" Jackson glared at her angrily. "I asked my brother, and he said that he and you are not in a relationship. He may be a bit uptight, but he
"Emily, that gentleman is really a good person. You have to thank him," said Bert.Emily replied, "I will."After this incident, Bert was completely dejected. He ran his hand through his hair in frustration. "Although we're not wealthy, we've always strived to be kind. It's what our ancestors taught us. How could Sophia turn out like this? I remember she used to be a good person."Emily sighed, "Maybe she was influenced by her mother. Her mother didn't just leave her husband to elope with a wealthy man.""Our family members are too good-natured," Bert exclaimed angrily. "Her desire for money has surpassed morality. I bet she's gotten what she wanted by now."Emily nodded. "The masked gentleman helped me find out that Sophia's mother went abroad and married a wealthy man. She should be coming back soon.""Why is she coming back? What for?" Bert shouted. "Is she coming back to flaunt her wealth?""No," Emily explained. "Nathan and Sophia are together. She's Sophia's mother. Sophia is ge
"Who?" Emily asked."I just bumped into Jackson outside! Your boss! He knows my dad, and he actually knows me too! He said you're doing a great job at work and wanted to thank me for recommending you, so he wants to treat us to lunch."Emily quickly shook her head. "No, thanks. I'm just doing my job. Since he knows your dad, you guys can go for dinner. I don't want to join in."But Olivia insisted, "Why not? You're going to be Jackson's sister-in-law in the future. Wouldn't it be good to get to know each other beforehand?"Although Olivia had a point..."Alright, stop hesitating. Don't you want to have a good relationship with Mr. Satan?" Olivia said."Of course, I do," Emily replied."Then let's go!" Olivia exclaimed. "You've been brooding over Mr. Satan's ex-lover, haven't you? We can ask Jackson about it! Since you've decided to marry him in the future, you surely want to know about this, right?"Emily couldn't help but waver at this reason.Olivia started the car and headed to a r
