Chapter 227 almost aborted
When she heard Emily's question, Elly's heart sank, and her face was somewhat stunned. She pretended to be calm and asked. "How did you know?"
Emily bit her lip and nodded, and there was a different kind of light under the curtain. "I heard it when I passed by your room yesterday."
She stopped for a while, Emily said what was on her mind carefully. "Elly, I know you're worried about me. But there is no need to force Peter to choose between me and his mother. Let him be trapped between the two of us, I will feel guilty, really guilty."
"That's what he has to do. He has to make a choice." Elly spoke loudly, disagreeing with Emily's tender concession. She had an angry voice.
"If I hadn't explicitly forced him, once I got back there, Mrs. Minda would have despised me even more and forced me. You don't have to hide yourself."
"Elly, I don't understand."
"What do you not know?" Elly put the chopsticks hard on the table, she looked at Emily angrily and asked questions.
"How cruel was it when you aimed at me and hurt me? Where are all the insidious tricks of the wise man? How to deal with you with a sinister heart in the past, but now it's all used to deal with Mrs. Minda. Why would you show such weakness?"
As soon as she finished, Elly realized that she was too hard when she saw that Emily's face had changed." But if you sneeze in a water bowl, you can't get it back." Before she could explain, Emily got up and turned around and walked quickly from the canteen.
"Emily, listen to me." Elly grabbed Emily's wrist and slid down. She pushed the chair and followed her to the kitchen door. Emily swung hard when she was pulled back. She did not turn around and watched Elly smash her back at the door of the dining room, and went straight to the door and left the Hargreaves family.
"Don't follow me!"
Elly got up late, and before she could have breakfast, her blood pressure slipped and hit the door. She suddenly found a pain in her belly like a needle, making it impossible for her to stand upright. She was seated on the floor with her belly in her hands. Elly shouted after Emily's firm back.
"Emily! Come back. I was wrong."
Housekeeper Geno heard a shout, he loosened his chicken feather broom and asked anxiously. "Miss Elly, what's wrong? Do you have a stomach-ache? Oh, my God!"
Elly looked pale and her eyebrows were twisted with pain. She was dazzled with pain and remained motionless, Housekeeper Geno rushed to help her.
"Housekeeper Geno! Help me." Elly screamed for help.
Kitten went down the stairs to draw with his mother. When he saw his mother lying in housekeeper Geno's chest with her eyes closed, he rushed down in horror.
"Mom? Mom, what's wrong?" He pushed the worker's hand, he touched her mother's paled face, and asked in a low voice. "What happened?"
"I don't know, Master Kitten. I heard Miss Elly calling Miss Emily. When I ran over, I saw Miss Elly with her painful belly."
Kitten couldn't finish listening to the explanation and was startled by the shout of his mother. Her mother shouted, he was staggering to his mother trousers. "Mom's bleeding."
"Master Kitten, please give me a call as soon as possible. Call your father and tell him to go directly to the downtown hospital." Housekeeper Geno came at the right time, calmly directing everyone. "Mr. Harold, take Ms. Elly to the car. She need to be rush to hospital."
Kitten nodded hurriedly and ran to the living room to dial with his cell phone.
When the phone was connected, Mr. Harold hugged Elly out of the car and hurried to the hospital with housekeeper Geno.
'Why didn't you answer your phone?' Kitten said to himself, he was unable to take his eyes off to his mother, he held back his tears and pressed Secretary Gerald's number.
Outside the senior management conference room, Secretary Gerald looked at the fixed phone number of the Hargreaves family in surprise.
"Mr Gerald, where is my father?"
After being connected, the immature anxious voice of Kitten made Gerald felt inexplicably uneasy. "He's in a meeting. What's the matter, Master Kitten?
"Give him the phone! Hurry up!" Kitten gave orders by instinct, and his strong feeling was the same as Alex's character, which made Gerald obey voluntarily.
He rushed straight into the conference room, and under the disgruntled eyes of senior managers, Gerald interrupted without guilt. "I'm sorry. It's an important call from Kitten."
As soon as Alex heard this, without asking a question. He picked up the phone quickly, and as soon as he heard the cry of Kitten, his heart clenched.
"Daddy! She fainted, she lost a lot of blood! Come home, pick me up and we will go to hospital.."
Kitten quickly said the name of the hospital ordered by housekeeper Geno and urged him. "Dad come home to pick me up, okay? Mr. Harold left with mother and housekeeper Geno. I'm very scared."
Alex's hands and feet were freezing cold when he heard the news about Elly, but Kitten's cry woke him up. He pretended to comfort his panicked five-year-old child calmly. "Baby, don't worry. I'll be at the hospital right away. Just stay at home and wait, okay?"
After the conversation, got up and walked straight out of the conference room under the stares of senior managers.
"I'm worried her. I want to go to the hospital."
"Mom's going to be okay. If you are going to the hospital now, it will only distract your mother from seeing a doctor. Be good boy, that's why Mama got sick so fast." Kitten cajoled people patiently.
Kitten was a clever child. He knew that if he insists on following, he would be in trouble. He nodded and agreed. "Okay, you stay at home and wait. You have to take care of your mother and brother obediently."
On the way, Alex drove a full red light and got to the hospital as fast as he could. Thank God, he didn't have an accident.
The door of the room was closed, and Housekeeper Geno and Mr Harold stood outside with anxiety on their faces.
"Where is my wife? What's her problem? What did the doctor say? Why did she bled?"
"Master, don't worry. Ms. Elyy is sleeping in her room." Housekeeper Geno stepped forward to explain. "The doctor said that Ms. Elly was excited and had too many mood swings, which caused the uterus to contract violently and bled a little, but Ms Elly and the child were safe."
Alex breathed a sigh of relief, and even on the way here, he wasn't ready to lose his child.
"What happened?"
Mr Harold awkwardly caught the cruel eyes of his boss, and he hurriedly looked at the housekeeper Geno for help.
'According to the staff, Ms. Elly fainted with abdominal pain after chasing Miss Emily. We don't know what's wrong with Ms. Elly and Ms. Emily." Housekeeper Geno answered sincerely.
Alex clenched his fists, his eyes were fierce, he didn't say a word.
After a while, he calmed down, and he gently pushed open the door and came in. He looked at his pale wife, she was lying on the bed, the corner of his eye wanted to crack with pain.
He went to the bedside, bent over and kissed her lips. "You fool! You scared me."
She was not strong as him. He was worried that if anything happened to Elly, his own nerves would collapse and his mental strength would be much greater than he thought.
He seated by the bed, he held her cold hand and tried to pass his heat from his palm to her hand. His gentle eyes firm. 'Be sure to tie me up in the future.' He whispered.
Peter, he recently regarded the villa as accommodation and went back to change his clothes before leaving. Mrs. Minda endured the cold treatment of her son for several days and she finally crossed his road impatiently before he went to the company.
"How long do you want to keep this attitude towards me? It's like I'm not your mother anymore."
"If you are in my position, you will know my point of view." Alex frowned at Mrs. Minda and said calmly. "I and Emily have both obtained marriage licenses, and this marriage is legally recognized. Why don't you open your heart to bless me and my wife with all your strength? Emily is my choice. I know her.'
When she heard about Emily, Mrs. Minda had a fierce expression on her face, the evil words were disgusting.
His mother knew that many women were pursuing wealth, all for wealth and she could not accept to have a daughter in law like that, so she wanted someone else for Peter, which fits her standard. "Your cheap feelings are not enough to convince me to accept you and your wife. As long as I am Mrs. Minda, I will not let Emily step into our house."
Mrs. Minda looked directly into Peter's eyes and emphasized. "Unless she is dead, she is the daughter-in-law of our family."
Peter's heart filled with anger, he did not say a word. He turned over Mrs. Minda, and went straight to the company. A plan came to his mind.
An hour later, Mrs. Minda received a message from her subordinate. 'Mr. Peter resigned as chairman at 9:30. Ma'am, go and save him.' That was the message says.
Mrs. Minda was startled by her son's terrible decision and hurriedly asked her driver to drove to the company.
'Did I underestimate Emily? I never thought my rational son would fall in love with such a stubborn girl.' Mrs. Minda whispered to herself.
Ms. Minda hurried to the company. She opened the door of the chairman's office and roared. "Mr. Peter, you dare to leave the company?"
Peter did not expect his mother would appear, and a ray of surprise passed through his eyes, but he soon regained his calm.
"I was at the helm of the company to maintain the company of our family, but even my only legal wife was not recognized by my family. All my efforts have become meaningless."
"What does it mean? How can you give up your career and turn your back to your whole family for one woman?' Ms. Minda was so angry that she could no longer keep her poise. She pointed her finger to his face and started scolding him. "If I told you that you dared to leave the company, I would have cut you off!" Her fingers trembled after she said those words.
Peter shouted helplessly, and the secretary happened to poke his head out and was startled. "He has a bad temper. What happened?"
The negligent secretary passed by Mrs. Minda, he walked breathlessly to the desk and whispered. "Chief, Miss Emily is waiting for you downstairs."
"Bring her here. Where is she waiting?" Just heard that Emily was here, Peter's eyes were bright, and eager to inquire.
"Miss Emily didn't go to the waiting room. She was waiting for you downstairs, even though I invited her to a room." The secretary bowed her head in fear.
"Does she dare to come to this company?" As soon as Ms. Minda heard this, before she turned to go downstairs, she went back to drive people away, she was flashed gently from the room by Peter like a gust of wind.
Ms. Minda staggered and almost fell, but luckily the secretary picked her up in time and was so angry that she was out of breath.
Peter calmed down in the elevator and thought of Elly's coercive threat.
"I haven't completely solved my wife's problem with you mother. Even if Emily came back, and if she still couldn't get your approval. I will certainly continue to be wronged behind my back." Peter said.
When the elevator reached the first floor, the elevator door opened, but he did not move. After a few seconds of hesitation, Peter finally suppressed Emily's desire. Peter pressed the button and the elevator went up slowly.
"Mr. Peter, I will abide by your agreement. Take care of it thoroughly, and then go pick up your wife and go home."
Emily stood on the floor and waited for nearly an hour, but there was no sign of Peter.
The receptionist saw Ms. Minda rush up to the top floor, she looked at Emily with kind eyes, and approached politely. 'Miss Emily, I'm sorry, Mr. Peter is very busy. He may not have time to see you."
Emily guessed Peter's idea, but she didn't give up when she came here. "Okay, I'll come back tomorrow."
With that, Emily was about to leave, but she heard the lady at the front desk muttering to herself. "It's no use for you to come. Peter doesn't come to this company anymore." Emily stopped, she turned around and asked
"What do you mean? Why doesn't Peter go to this company?"
"Peter held an overall meeting of senior directors today to announce his resignation as chairman and leave the top position in the company."
"What?" Emily's eyes opened widely, she didn't believe what she just heard. Her body was stunned for a second, and after that in front of the receptionist, Emily run straight into the elevator and pressed to the top floor of the building.
Despite the curious eyes of the employees of the company, Emily quickly found the chairman's room, but she was stopped by the secretary.
"Miss Emily, I'm sorry, Mr. Peter won't receive guests today."
"I have a question for him." Emily had a dark face, and she insisted firmly. "You go in and tell him that if he don't come out to see me today, then our future will not come."
The secretary also heard about the private affairs of her superiors, so she was startled by the threat and hurried to convey it.
Peter's eyes shone with hesitation, but it only took a few seconds to calm down. He said calmly. "Guests are not allowed today. Tell her to go home."
As she heard that Peter still refused to meet her, Emily scolded others in her low voice, she turned around angrily and left.
Peter's character was really masculine. The secretary secretly poured a cold grave for her superior because she had a terrible stone wife.
After leaving the company, with resentment and uncomfortable. Emily felt that because Elly forced Peter to make a choice between herself and Mrs. Minda, Peter gave up the company and lost his career.
"What's the use if you don't have a career?"
Emily knew that Elly was looking out for her own interests, but the current situation was not what she wants. Uncomfortable and annoyed, Emily pressed Elly's number and blamed her as soon as she had a contact signal.
"Stay out of my business, okay? Because of helplessness, Peter even resigned as chairman of the company. Is this what you want?"
There was no reply, and Emily asked hesitantly. "Elly?"
Before she hang up because of poor signal, a cold voice rang in her ear. "If you think Elly has offended you, then you really don't deserve her concern. Are you just calling to criticize Elly?"
As she heard the familiar voice, Emily's heart trembled at the same time. "Alex?"
Although she wondered why the person who answered the phone was Alex, the subconscious asked Emily to defend herself. "I just want to say that she doesn't care about me anymore. I made my own decision."
"From now on, I won't let you mind your own business. Your life or death depends on you. In order to make her care about you, kindness was fed by you."
"Me? That's not what I mean." Emily stuttered and explained that she didn't know why Alex wanted to vent his anger on her. "Obviously, in the past few days, you have been gentle enough so that people will not be hostile to you."
A sarcastic tone sounded clearly on the phone, and Alex's tone was not calm at all and said solemnly. "I think Elly's kindness was used and abused by the wrong person. She did her best for her, but she was so excited that she almost had a miscarriage. When you leave the house, do you think of your abandoned sister?"
"What? Miscarriage?" Emily gave a cry of alarm, worried and frightened.
A death warning came from the phone. "I swear Emily! You should be glad that Elly and the child are safe, otherwise I will ask you for new and old debts, so that your life will be in danger."
