Love and Embrace

Divorce

Emily showed signs of a miscarriage. Fortunately, she was taken to the hospital in time. Hence, both she and the child were doing fine.

Lying on the hospital bed,Emily was exhausted. She didn't even have the energy to open her eyes. She thought back about everything that had happened in the two months of her marriage. The more she thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed.

The sky was completely dark by now. stood by the window with a hand in his pocket, his lips tightly pursed.

The atmosphere in the ward was not exactly oppressive, but it was not relaxing either.

After some time, Adrian walked toward the bed and said to Emily, "Since you're pregnant with my child, you'll have to divorce Ryan Carter."

His deep and mellow voice was pleasing to the ear.

Underneath the blanket, however, Emily was clutching the bedsheet. She refused to get a divorce as she would not pave the way for Chloe and Ryan to be together!

Adrian probably knew that he wouldn't get an answer from her. Eventually, he left the ward with steady steps.

After a short while, Emily heard footsteps again. Thinking that it was Adrian returning, her anger welled up and she growled, "Get out of here! I won't get divorced!"

"Emily, you b*tch! You're carrying another man's child and yet you refuse to let my son go! Why don't you go to hell?"

Ryan's mother, Catherine wood, barged into the ward.

Ryan held her back and said, "Mom, calm down, calm down!"

Emily frowned and opened her eyes. It was only then that she realized Ryan and his parents were in the ward. She sat up and looked at them with a sneer.

"Emily, tell the truth, who's the father of your illegitimate child?" Catherine was almost choking on her rage.

Emily stayed silent. Ryan pursed his lips and answered on behalf of her in a rather aggrieved way, "Mom, the father of the child is Adrian Whitmore.”

"What?" Peter Carter, Ryan's father, exclaimed in shock. He had watched

Adrian grow up as the two families had been having a close relationship. He bellowed in anger, "Ridiculous! This is ridiculous!"

Catherine burst into tears in Ryan's arms. "I told you not to marry this woman! Ryan, if only you had listened to me! She's a disgrace to the Carter family! What could we have done wrong to deserve this?"

Peter said furiously, "Get a divorce! Ryan, you have to divorce this shameless woman!”

Ryan looked torn and said, "Dad, Emily used the child to threaten me not to get a divorce. If I divorce her, she's not going to carry on with the pregnancy. But the child belongs to Mr. Whitmore! How would I dare harm his child?"

Upon hearing that, Emily's lips curled into a sneer. How shameless could Ryan be to lie blatantly at this moment?

Still burning with rage, Peter shouted,

"Who cares if the child belongs to Mr. Whitmore? Get rid of it immediately!

There's no way that the Whitmore family will accept a shameless woman

like her!"

Peter's reaction was not what Ryan had expected. The purpose he brought his parents to the hospital was so that they could pressure Emily into pleasing Adrian and giving birth to his child, not to make her get rid of the child!

He was going to use Emily and the child in her belly to negotiate with Adrian.

There was no way he would allow his father to ruin his plan!

As Ryan was deep in thoughts, Peter gave him a shove and said, "You brat!

Hurry up and ask the doctors to

arrange surgery! Now!"

Ryan staggered. Before he could respond, he heard a cold and overbearing voice sounding from outside the ward.

"Who do you think you are? What right do you have to get rid of my child?" said the voice.

His voice was like an unsheathed sword, so cold and sharp that it made everyone shudder.
