Because I Was an and He Threw Away 175

Chapter 175 The Life Without Mommy 

Emily’s distance inevitably reminded Ethan of the woman she used to be. 

Every time they met in the past, she treasured every moment they spent together. 

She would cling to him, refusing to let go, eagerly asking what he wanted to eat and offering to cook for him herself. 

Whenever she stayed overnight at Wilson Manor, she would take the initiative to curl up in his arms, trying to please him. 

But now, she had shut herself off, refusing to let anyone get close. 

The Emily who had loved him so deeply no longer showed even a trace of her former self. 

Ethan didn’t respond to what Emily said. He stared at the ceiling, gradually losing himself in thought. 

In the silence, his phone suddenly rang sharply. 

It was Nancy.

After answering, Nancy spoke anxiously from the other end, “Ethan, Sophie threw up again. She keeps saying her stomach hurts. Can you come back right away?” 

Hearing this, Ethan immediately sat up in bed and said, “Okay, I’ll be right back.” 

After hanging up, Ethan turned on the light without thinking. 

He got out of bed, put on his clothes and shoes, and when he turned back, he saw Emily lying on the sofa, completely still. 

He froze for a moment. 

It was one thing that Emily no longer cared about him, but now, even hearing that Sophia was unwell didn’t seem to faze her at all. 

After hesitating for a few seconds, Ethan still walked over to the sofa. He lowered his head and looked at the back of Emily’s head. He then asked gently, “Nancy said Sophie wasn’t feeling well. Do you want to come with me?” 

Emily didn’t turn around, but she refused decisively. “I’m not going. You should go.” 

Before Ethan could say anything, Emily sat up on the sofa. 

Seeing this, Ethan assumed that she was still worried about 2/7

Sophia, that even if she said she wasn’t going, her actions would say otherwise. 

Just as Ethan thought Emily would stand up to get dressed, she instead leaned back against the sofa and calmly instructed him, “At her age, swollen lymph nodes can easily cause stomach pain. When you get back, remind her to take her medicine and watch her diet. She should avoid snacks for now, especially spicy or irritating foods.” 

Ethan listened in silence. After a long pause, he asked, “If you care about her so much, why not go see her yourself?” 

Emily let out a faint smile and said, “I have to work tomorrow.” 

Ethan could sense her indifference. He didn’t press the issue and only replied, “All right.” 

With that, he left. 

Emily lay on the sofa, all traces of drowsiness gone in an 

instant. 

To say she wasn’t worried would have been a lie. 

But half an hour later, she still fell into a restless sleep.

When Ethan returned to Brocade Estates, the entire house was brightly lit. 

Rebecca was still busy in the kitchen, likely preparing something warm for Sophia. 

As Ethan went upstairs, Nancy was holding Sophia, continuously soothing her. 

Perhaps due to inexperience, Nancy was so anxious she was covered in sweat. 

Ethan entered the room and took Sophia from Nancy’s arms. 

Relieved to finally catch her breath, Nancy said to Ethan, “I’ll go downstairs and bring her something warm to drink.” 

Ethan nodded. “Go ahead.” 

After Nancy left, Ethan carried Sophia and paced back and forth in the room. Seeing how pale Sophia’s face was from the pain made his heart ache. 

Sophia pressed her face against Ethan’s chest and asked hoarsely, “Daddy, didn’t Mommy come with you?” 

Although she disliked her mother, when she was sick, she still wanted her mother by her side.

Hearing Sophia ask about Emily made Ethan feel even worse. He answered softly, “No.” 

Sophia’s eyes reddened, and tears rolled down her cheeks as she said, “Mommy doesn’t love me anymore.” 

Ethan sat down on the sofa and looked down at Sophia. In a serious tone, he asked, “The last time I asked you, didn’t you say you would be fine never seeing her again?” 

Sophia’s eyes looked exhausted. She blinked before answering, “But when I’m sick, Mommy rubs my tummy.” 

She truly didn’t like Emily anymore, but whenever she felt unwell, she thought of Emily’s kindness. 

Emily’s hands were always warm, and after she rubbed her stomach, the pain really did ease. 

Nancy also rubbed her stomach, but Nancy’s hands didn’t have that same magic. It still hurt just as much. 

Thinking of Emily’s attitude, Ethan didn’t know how to respond to Sophia. 

After a long moment, he lowered his head and gently rubbed 

his forehead against Sophia’s. He then said tenderly, “I can rub it too. I’ll rub it for you.”

Sophia gave a soft “Mm” and lifted her shirt. 

Ethan gently pressed his large palm against her small belly. Instead of crying, Sophia began to giggle. 

Seeing her cheerful reaction, Ethan couldn’t help but ruin the moment as he said, “Sophie, from now on, we need to get used to life without Mommy, all right?” 

Sophia kicked her legs lightly and shrugged indifferently. “I’m already used to it. I just think of Mommy when I don’t feel well, but if you’re with me, I won’t think about her.” 

Only then did Ethan feel reassured. He picked Sophia up, kissed her forehead, and promised, “From now on, I’ll spend more time with you. As long as you call for me, no matter how busy I am or how far away I am, I’ll come back, all right?” 

Sophia smiled happily and said, “Okay, okay. You’re the best.” 

She wrapped her arms around Ethan’s neck, but a strange ache rose in her heart. 

Even though Ethan’s hands felt comforting too, it was still not the same as when Emily rubbed her stomach. 

For some reason, Sophia still wanted Emily to do it for her. 

But she decided to let it go. Having Ethan and Nancy with her 6/7
