"Congratulations, Miss, youre pregnant."
When the nurse handed her the test results, Emily felt not joy but an indescribable sense of unease.
Last night, when she took her own pulse, she knew she was already two months pregnant.
At that time, her heart was in turmoil, and for safetys sake, she came to the hospital for a check-up. The moment of confirmation was a whirlwind of emotions.
Her husband, Lucas Knight, had not been home for three months.
With complicated feelings, she returned to the Knight residence, and at that moment, the housekeeper reported that the young master had returned.
Emily was taken aback, and upon realizing, she immediately rushed towards the source of the sound.
Indeed, it was her husband, Lucas Knight, but the joy in her heart had not yet risen when the scene before her eyes wiped it away completely.
Because Lucas Knight not only returned but also held a woman in his arms, the womans belly prominently swollen, clearly further along in pregnancy than hers.
Emily was stunned.
Then she saw her husband, who had always treated her with cold eyes, speaking softly and gently to a strange woman, his movements tender as if the woman in his arms was a precious and fragile item.
Lucas Knight, carrying the woman, strode up to Emily and casually threw out a sentence, "Youre just in time, come here, I need you for something."
After a brief pause, he went in without looking back.
Emily gritted her teeth and could only follow quickly.
Her husband, who she hadnt seen for three months, returned with a woman, and he said the child in her belly was his.
The woman was his first love, a white moonlight named Linda White.
Emily remembered her.
A month after Lucas left, she found their intimate photos in the study.
In the photo, the two were hugging and kissing each other, with a birthday cake in front of them, and the date showed it was three days after their marriage.
So he had been entangled with this woman three days after marrying her, but looking at the womans belly now, Emily felt it might have been even earlier.
And as the person involved, Lucas Knight had no explanation for this matter, only speaking in an indifferent and commanding tone, "What are you waiting for, hurry up and save her, arent you a great doctor?"
Linda was weak, and this pregnancy almost didnt make it three months ago. He searched all over the country for obstetricians and gynecologists to save the fetus, thinking it could be smoothly delivered, but something went wrong at six months, and the situation was critical. He suddenly thought of his wife, Emily.
He had heard that Emilys medical skills were excellent. Although not an obstetrician, she had treated many patients with difficult and complicated diseases.
The doctor said that if Linda lost this pregnancy, it would be difficult for her to conceive again.
No matter what the cost, he must save this child!
At this moment, Emily looked at Lucas Knight in disbelief, as if seeing him for the first time.
He should be the boy from her childhood, right.
But why did he become so strange when she looked at him now?
He wasnt like this before marriage.
He was gentle and patient before marriage, speaking softly to her, considerate, but why did everything change after marriage?
Upon hearing the news, the Knight familys matriarch rushed over and, upon learning that Linda was carrying her sons child, immediately began to order Emily around, "Emily, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and save her!"
At that moment, Linda let out a painful moan, "Lucas, it hurts so much!"
As soon as Linda complained about the pain, Lucas rushed to her side, tightly holding Lindas hand, "Linda, Im here, I wont let anything happen to you and the child..."
Linda cried tears like rain, grabbing Lucass hand and suddenly kneeling towards Emily, "Miss Emily, I know Ive taken Lucas from you, and you must hate me, but I beg you, save my child, the child is innocent, as long as you can save my child, I will actively step back, even if it means being your servant, I am willing..."
"Linda, dont beg her!"
Lucass face changed, and he comforted his white moonlight while shouting at Emily, "Emily, come and save her! Where is your doctors benevolence!"
"Ive always said that this woman is pretending, but you just wont believe it." At this time, the Knight familys matriarch didnt forget to add fuel to the fire, even directly reaching out to push Emily.
"Hurry up! Are you deaf or stupid? I shouldnt have let you in the door when I found out about the bankruptcy of the Thompson family! You havent laid a single egg in two years, and now that my son finally has a child, if you cant bear children yourself, do you not let others have them?"
The matriarchs words were like a sharp knife, stabbing into her heart, like the last straw that breaks the camels back.
Did she not want to have children?
They had been married for two years, and Lucas Knight had never touched her.
She had always wondered why; he had pursued her, married her, and then why he had neglected her after marriage.
It turned out that it was for the Thompson familys wealth.
Two years ago, she was still the Thompson familys daughter, with the familys wealth greater than the current Knight family, but one day, the Thompson family faced an unprecedented financial crisis. Her father couldnt bear it and died of a heart attack, and her mother was also greatly impacted, going insane and committing suicide the next day, leaving her to deal with the aftermath.
Even after the Thompson family fell, Lucas Knights entrepreneurship also hit a bottleneck, and it was with the money she raised by selling the only relic her mother left her that he was revived. Over the years, she has been treating people and helping Lucas Knight build connections. Otherwise, where would he get so many connections?
She has done so much for him silently, and this is how he repays her?
Two years of marriage and dedication.
But to see someone clearly, where does it take two years?
It turns out that just a few seconds are enough.
Understanding all of this, Emily suddenly sneered.
Her laughter stunned the other three people.
"At a time like this, you can still laugh!" The matriarch scolded.
Emily said with a smile, "My grandfather taught me the benevolence of a doctor. I also adhere to the principle that no matter who is sick, in my eyes, they are patients, and as long as they are patients, I have a responsibility to treat them. But Lucas Knight, I now clearly tell you, I will not save Linda White, because I am Emily now, and I am only Emily. Lucas Knight..."
"Were getting a divorce."
Her voice was calm, and there was even a smile on the corner of her mouth.
After saying this, she suddenly felt a weight lifted.
On the other hand, Lucas Knights face showed an unbelievable expression.
He knew that the Emily in front of him loved him to death and even sold the ancestral jade pendant for him.
It was the only relic her mother left her.
He always took it for granted that Emily would agree to anything he said, but he didnt expect her to propose a divorce.
He thought Emily was just in a bad temper, so he spoke again in a condescending tone: "Emily, dont be temperamental, I promise I wont divorce you, you are still Mrs. Knight, as long as you save this child, I might consider accepting you and becoming a real husband and wife with you."
