Chapter 406 Return to JM Jewelry
Tears once again slipped down the corners of Emily's eyes.
Her vulnerability was laid bare in front of Michael, making her look like a kitten in need
of care. At the same time, Michael's heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife.
"I'll take you home in a bit."
Home? Emily's tears flowed even more uncontrollably as she heard this.
Where did she have a home now?
Isabella was gone, the house they used to live in was empty, and Abigail had her own life. She couldn't keep bothering Abigail, even though they were the closest of friends.
So where else could she call home?
Emerald Lake Manor?
Seeing Emily's cold and distant expression, Michael felt both helpless and frustrated.
Why did Emily insist on opposing him? He had already lowered his pride!
She was carrying his child, so why wouldn't she admit it?
Why wouldn't she reconcile with him?
Feelings could be rebuilt, love could be rekindled!
Was it really that hard? Was he really that unworthy?
These questions echoed loudly in his mind, but Michael didn't have the courage to voice them.
He didn't want to upset Emily, especially now that she had just lost her mother and was pregnant. She couldn't afford to be stressed, yet she was.
If she got more upset, it would be too much for her body to handle.
Seeing that Emily still wasn't responding, Michael didn't push further. He turned and walked out, dialing Andrew's number.
After about ten minutes, Andrew knocked on the hospital room door.
Emily had fallen asleep again, but the knock woke her up.
She opened her eyes, seeing the bright sunlight streaming through the window onto the floor, and her heart sank. She turned her head.
Andrew was already standing in front of her, dressed in a suit, looking as stiff as he did in work mode.
Emily knew Andrew was there to convey Michael's "orders."
Michael, who would avoid anyone he didn't want to see, would coldly send his commands through others, just like a domineering CEO in a novel.
And he was a CEO, domineering, cold, and stubborn, embodying all those flaws.
Sometimes Emily couldn't understand how she had fallen so deeply in love with Michael in the first place.
"Mrs. Smith, the doctor says you're fine now and can be discharged. I'm here to take you home."
Seeing Andrew bowing slightly in front of her, Emily couldn't say much. She blinked and replied. "Back to Emerald Lake Manor?"
Andrew's eyes flickered, and he nodded. "Yes."
Fine, Emily conceded.
Even though she was angry with Michael, she couldn't just stay in the hospital forever. Not only did being there remind her of Isabella, but she also couldn't occupy public resources indefinitely. Any grievances had to be settled privately.
Besides, there was still a child between her and Michael.

"Okay, I'll go back with you."
Hearing her response, Andrew looked up. In that moment, he saw a hint of determination and composure in Emily's eyes.
On the way back, Emily kept her gaze out the window, silent.
Andrew, who had witnessed many of Michael and Emily's arguments, knew that Emily had once been bright and devoted to Michael. He also knew that now, she was truly disappointed in both the relationship and the man.
He wanted to offer some comfort as an outsider, but he didn't know where to start.
After all, even a wise judge couldn't easily resolve family matters. Moreover, Emily was currently rejecting everyone's "kindness."
And he was Michael's assistant; why would Emily listen to him?noveldrama
As he was thinking, the phone in the back seat rang.
Andrew, sitting in the front passenger seat, heard the rustling sounds as Emily answered the call. She spoke softly, "Hello," in a gentle, respectful tone, indicating it was someone she respected.
"Emily, it's me, Penelope."
The call was from her former boss, Penelope.
After Isabella's death, Emily had submitted her resignation to JM Jewelry.
Penelope hadn't asked much at the time, simply agreeing and letting Emily go through the process and sign the papers.
Penelope knew why Emily wanted to resign-she wanted to leave this place of heartbreak, to leave Michael.
But just an hour ago, Penelope had learned from Bryan that Emily was staying. As someone who had been through similar situations, Penelope quickly understood that Emily and Michael's complicated relationship wouldn't end so quickly. Nor should it end so quickly.

"I'm fine, Ms. Blair, don't worry."
Hearing Emily's gentle response, Penelope could tell her mood wasn't great. So she didn't bring up work right away, instead talking about everyday matters with concern.
"I know you're fine. You're a smart girl, you know what's important and can take care of yourself. But I still worry about you! How are you now? How's the baby? Most importantly, where are you planning to stay?
"You're alone, and you're pregnant. You need a place to stay. If you don't have one, just tell me. I can help you arrange something. And don't be formal with me!"
After chatting about personal matters, Penelope slowly shifted the conversation back to work. "Emily, I don't know if it's because I haven't met someone as talented as you in
a long time, but since you left, I've been feeling particularly down!"
"The company has so much work, I can't keep up... I haven't had a good night's sleep in days. Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking you to come back. I just miss you!
Emily understood Penelope's intentions.
Honestly, she didn't blame Penelope for being practical, even thinking about getting her back to work at a time like this.
Emily also missed her job at JM Jewelry.
After all, it was the only place where she felt valued.
Penelope liked her and offered her the best conditions.
More importantly, Penelope treated her well, unlike the so-called high society in Emerald City, who looked down on her and mocked her for being Michael's wife, his accessory.
"Ms. Blair, I still have some personal matters to resolve, so I need to stay at Emerald Lake Manor for now. During this time, I can come back to JM Jewelry to help you." Hearing this, Andrew, sitting in the front, was taken aback.
Emily wanted to go back to JM Jewelry? Did this mean she was willing to stay in Emerald City for work?
Andrew's mind raced. Perhaps Penelope could be the best way for Michael to keep
Emily.
