Because I Was an and He Threw Away 306

Chapter 306 Feel Sorry for Her 

The lead doctor, with a gentle tone, addressed Emily, “Your body’s still in a weak state. Even if you don’t need a proper rest–up period, having a loved one around would do you good, don’t you think?” 

Emily kept her lips sealed. 

No one pressed the issue further, seeing her unyielding demeanor. 

After the rounds, a sharp pang of hunger hit Emily. Her stomach growled ferociously. 

Since last night, she’d not even had a slice of toast or gulp of water. 

So feeble was she that sitting upright posed a challenge, let alone venturing out to a diner. 

The doctor had a point–Emily was in dire need of 

someone’s care. 

But the question lingered: who could she rely on?

And Alexander, as much as she’d toyed with the idea of calling him, she dismissed it quickly. 

As for Aaron, dragging a straight–laced doctor like him into this mess was bound to play havoc with his career. 

That left only Ethan. 

Grabbing a nurse’s phone, she dialed Ethan’s number. Presumably due to the unfamiliar digits, he answered. 

“Yeah?” His voice was gruff, as if he’d just woken up. 

Emily gulped. “Ethan, it’s me. I…” 

Before she could finish her plea, the line went dead. Ethan had hung up. 

Emily knew he was seething about her decision to end the pregnancy. But here she was, teetering on the brink of collapse, and her only hope had just turned his back on her. 

Ethan was colder than she’d ever imagined, not even giving her a chance to pour out her heart.

Then, hot tears welled up in her eyes. 

There was one last card left to play. 

After she dialed Vanessa’s number, the phone was 

answered in a flash. “Hello? Who’s this?” 

Emily’s throat tightened. Tears streamed down her face as she blubbered, “Vanessa, can you make it to the hospital? I really need you here.” 

Without hesitation, Vanessa grabbed her coat and dashed out the door, calling out, “What’s going on?” 

Emily wasn’t in the mood to explain it all. Instead, she said, “And could you pick up a new phone on the way?” 

Vanessa could tell that something really bad had happened. She chose not to press for details. 

Thirty minutes later, Vanessa burst into the hospital room, her face flushed and sweaty despite the cold outside. 

The sight of Emily’s bruised face stopped her in her tracks. “What happened?”

Vanessa could see through the facade. 

Her eyes welled up, and she roared, “Emily, spill the beans! Who did this to you? I’ll give them a piece of my mind!” 

Vanessa was visibly distraught, her eyes red–rimmed and tears freely flowing down her cheeks. 

Seeing her friend in such a state, Emily quickly said, “Vanessa, seriously, I’m okay.” 

Having been friends with her for ages, Vanessa knew Emily well. She understood that Emily was just trying to ease her worry. 

Taking a deep breath, she managed to rein in her wild 

emotions. 

Then, she walked back to the hospital bed, gently tucking the sheets around Emily, and asked, “Gotta be starving?” 

Emily nodded, her eyes welling up. “Yeah.” 

“Alright, I’ll go grab you something to eat. Hang tight,” Xanessa said, dabbing at her tears as she made her way:07

Even after stepping out, the tears kept coming. 

When the elevator arrived, she stepped in, still sobbing quietly with her head down to hide her tear–streaked face. 

Unaware of the man standing in the corner, she missed his friendly greeting. 

“Hey, what a coincidence, Ms. Taylor.” 

Michael, seeing her in such a pitiful state, felt a twinge of sympathy. 

He fished a handkerchief out of his pocket and offered it to her. 

Thinking it was a fan asking for an autograph, Vanessa, without looking up, quickly scribbled her name on it. 

As a food vlogger, Vanessa had a certain level of public recognition and could be considered a minor public figure. 

It was quite common for her to be recognized when she was out and about.

Just as she finished signing, the elevator doors slid open. 

She pulled up her mask and stepped out. 

Michael, left in the elevator, stared at the signed handkerchief for a moment before breaking into a smile. 

He thought to himself that Vanessa had looked kind of adorable in that moment. 

After getting some food for Emily, Vanessa returned to the room and fed her. 

Once Emily was done eating, she started cleaning up. 

That was when Emily’s new phone rang. 

It was Shirley on the line. 

“Emily, why weren’t you at work today?” Shirley’s voice came through sharply. 

Emily’s voice was raspy as she replied, “Ms. Dolton, I’m not feeling well. Gonna take a few days off.” 

Hearing yet another last–minute leave request, Shirley3:07 lost her temper. “Can’t you plan your leave in advance?”

Before Emily could explain, Vanessa snatched the phone. “How the hell can you predict getting sick? You tell me!” 

There was a moment of silence on the other end. 

Vanessa’s anger flared up. “Look, if you’re not fit to be a boss, just quit. If you approve the leave, dock her pay. If not, fire her. Stop being such a pain in the ass.”
