The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Alice was very grateful to Bryan.

After all, it was well known that Bryan and Michael's relationship was not as good as it used to be.

Alice never expected Bryan to lower his head and apologize to Michael for her sake.

Just as the two of them adjusted their mood and prepared to knock on the door of the Smith Mansion, another supercar stopped by the roadside. The large headlights were so bright that Alice couldn't open her eyes. Bryan held her in his arms and looked at the person in the car it was Luna.

Luna got out of the driver's seat in a hurry. She was wearing a deep red leather jacket and black leather pants, her hair dyed and curled into brown waves, with oversized earrings and dark brown makeup.

She looked just as striking as Veda used to.

"Alice, what are you doing!" Luna said as she rushed towards Alice.

She completely ignored Bryan standing in front of her, her expression full of annoyance and disdain.

"Move!"

Of course, Bryan wouldn't let her pass.

"No."

Seeing this, Luna raised her hand to push Bryan away, but Bryan easily deflected her.

"Luna, if you have something to say, say it. Don't lay a hand on your sister!"

Luna almost fell to the ground, her extremely high heels causing her to stagger back several steps.

She simply shouted at Bryan. "Bryan, are you crazy!"

Bryan frowned and retorted mercilessly. "You're the one who's crazy. Look at what you've become."

Luna knew she couldn't out-argue Bryan and that Alice was now completely relying on Bryan.

Her once beloved sister was now a love-struck woman who couldn't live without a man.

Thinking of this, Luna felt it was unnecessary to ignore it any longer. She tilted her head past Bryan and accused Alice.

"Your skills are really improving-defying Dad, dating Bryan, what's next? Not returning to the country?"

Not returning to the country?

Bryan thought he had misheard. Wasn't this their country?

He was about to mock her when he heard Alice's trembling but resolute voice from behind him.

"Luna, I never intended to defy Dad. He was wrong! And yes, I'm with Bryan. You probably knew that long ago, didn't you? Otherwise, how did Dad find out? Luna, how long are you going to keep stabbing me in the back!"

Luna would never accept Alice's accusations.

In her view, only their father Roger's words were the absolute truth.

Alice defying Roger was disrespectful.

Not returning with the Ward family was utterly foolish.

Luna also understood why Alice was saying this to her.

Their rooms were next to each other, and Luna had long discovered Alice and Bryan's relationship, but she had always pretended to be ignorant, even seizing the opportunity to inform Roger.

As a result, Roger flew into a rage and severely reprimanded Alice.

"I don't want to waste words with you, Alice. I was going out today, but Dad asked me to bring you back. I had no choice but to comply!

"Come back with me now, and stop embarrassing yourself in front of the Smith family!" With that, Luna reached out to pull Alice again, but Bryan pushed her away mercilessly. Luna looked up to scold Bryan, but saw his deep eyes staring at her, and he said sternly, "Shut your mouth and go back to the Ward Villa."noveldrama

"I'll send your sister back later. I never hit women; don't push me, Luna."

Bryan was always cold in front of others. He never spoke more than three sentences.

Today, Luna was truly surprised. Alice had a man protecting her and completely disregarded Luna.

"Fine... fine, Alice, you're impressive. Just wait for dad to deal with you!"

With that, Luna turned and left.

She left in a hurry, and Alice didn't even have time to react.

She only remembered Luna's last words.

Alice couldn't believe that Luna, who had grown up with her, would end up hurting her like this.

For a moment, Alice was in utter despair.

Her nose tingled, but her eyes were dry, unable to shed any tears.

Seeing this, Bryan quickly held Alice in his arms with concern.

"How is it?" Benjamin hurriedly approached as the private doctor came out of Mason's bedroom. Tears welling up in his eyes and his hands shaking uncontrollably, Benjamin was a bundle of nerves.

"I don't think it's looking good. We should get him to the hospital quickly."

The private doctor's words left Benjamin momentarily stunned.

Because Mason had always been in good health, even if he occasionally had minor ailments, he would just take some medicine and be fine. Despite his age, he had never been to the hospital.

Why did he fall ill today?

Knowing the situation was bad, Benjamin quickly instructed a few servants to take care of the house and rushed downstairs to make a phone call.

Scarlett, on the other hand, was indifferent and unconcerned.

She had no affection for Mason, and now that he was ill, especially since she had caused it, Scarlett was more than happy.

But since Mason wasn't dead yet, she couldn't show her happiness too obviously.

In front of the servants, Scarlett had to put on an act.

Thinking of this, she quickly put on a sorrowful expression, feigning anxiety, and said to everyone, "What are you waiting for? Go help!"

The people at the bedroom door were dispersed by Scarlett.

She slowly walked towards the bedroom in her slippers, seeing Mason lying alone on

the cold bed, unconscious, his face pale, and even his lips devoid of color.

A sharp smile appeared on Scarlett's lips.

She coldly smiled, her face expressionless, looking a bit eerie. Only the muscles on the sides of her cheeks twitched, and as they twitched, she clenched her teeth, her eyes turning sinister.

Suddenly, a servant spoke from behind, "Mrs. Smith, there are some people here."

Scarlett's thoughts were instantly pulled back, and she quickly put on a distressed face, twisted her features, and turned to the servant.

"Who?" Scarlett asked as she walked towards the door.

Her heart was instantly on edge.

It was already late at night, and she had chosen this time to administer the drug, not wanting to cause too much commotion. Even if Michael and Veda found out later, it wouldn't matter.

But now... could they have returned so soon?

That was impossible!

Scarlett thought, quickening her pace, until she saw Alice with red eyes and Bryan looking cold. She was relieved, slowed her steps, and a smile appeared on her face.
