After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire's Child-Chapter 156 - 153: The Cafeteria Incident

Emily Parker sighed. She decided to keep her feelings buried deep inside. Her last relationship had left her too disappointed, and she didn’t want to start a new one that would end in vain.

As she was thinking, her phone rang. It was a landline number. She picked it up.

"Little nurse, why haven’t you visited me yet?

The nurses here are so terrible; they won’t let me eat anything."

A familiar voice came from the other end. Emily Parker’s nose tingled as she heard it, and she softly called out,

"Grandpa, you’re awake.

You were unconscious for two days. You’ve just woken up; you can’t eat recklessly."

On the other end of the call, Old Master Carter sensed something was off with Emily Parker’s voice.

"Have you been crying?

Who bullied you?

Was it that boy Carlos?

Tell me, and I’ll hit him with my cane."

Old Master Carter had just woken up this morning.

He had heard the details from Maria Carter and knew that his recovery this time was thanks to the little nurse and the miracle doctor she had invited.

Not wanting to delay Maria Carter’s studies, he urged her to return to school.

"Grandpa, I’m fine, I just didn’t sleep well last night.

I’ll come to the hospital to see you right away."

Emily Parker realized she hadn’t eaten lunch yet as she spoke.

She thought for a moment and decided to have lunch with the old man, and check his health to prevent any after-effects.

Emily Parker instructed Oliver Ross to divert to the Love & Kindness Hospital.

Emily Parker arrived at the hospital around noon.

Oliver Ross went to park the car, and Emily Parker thought about how her grandfather had just recovered, so she decided not to buy greasy food but instead get something from the hospital cafeteria.

The Love & Kindness Hospital cafeteria was quite large, offering a variety of dishes.

Emily Parker picked a few items her grandfather liked, and as she turned around, she saw Adam Willow standing behind her without her noticing.

Several young nurses beside her, seeing Adam Willow, asked with a smile,

"Doctor Willow, didn’t your girlfriend bring you lunch today?"

Adam Willow smiled politely.

After getting her food, Emily Parker intended to leave.

"Emily Parker, there’s something I want to tell you."

Emily Parker had blocked Adam Willow, so she hadn’t received his calls or messages.

"Adam Willow, everything that needed to be said between us has been said."

But Adam Willow blocked Emily Parker’s way.

The cafeteria was crowded, so Emily Parker had to retreat to a corner.

"Our ten-plus years of relationship, can you just end it like this?"

"Adam Willow, I used to think I liked you.

But recently I’ve realized that it wasn’t love, just a habit."

After clarifying her feelings, Emily Parker found her so-called ten-year crush utterly ridiculous.

Emily Parker’s words instantly changed Adam Willow’s expression, and his voice carried more emotion.

"Emily Parker, are you saying there was no affection between us, only habit?

Then who do you like?

That playboy Carlos?

Aside from his birth, what does he have over me?"

"Carlos isn’t as worthless as everyone says,

he has his own business."

Emily Parker didn’t agree with Adam Willow. After all, Carlos was the father of her child, and she didn’t want anyone slandering the child’s father.

Seeing Emily Parker speak up for Carlos, Adam Willow clenched his fists.

"His business?

Are you talking about that film company?

Or that so-called car company?"

Adam Willow sneered.

"From what I know, his film company is just for playing with actresses.

As for his car company..."

"You can’t defame Carlos."

Emily Parker never thought Adam Willow was such a harsh person. Maybe spending too much time with Sophie Parker had influenced him in a bad way.

"Defame?"

Adam Willow sneered again.

At that moment, the TV in the cafeteria was broadcasting a midday news segment.

"Recently, a dispute has arisen between ST Company, the world’s largest automobile manufacturer, and Carter Automotive, a longstanding car enterprise in our country.

Allegedly, the latest electric car developed by Carter Automotive is suspected of plagiarizing a concept car from ST Company.

Once the news broke, Carter Automotive’s stock price plummeted. By the close of the morning session, its share price had hit the limit.

Our reporter is at the Carter Clan Group headquarters now, where ST Automotive representatives have just concluded a meeting..."

Upon hearing this news, Emily Parker and Adam Willow both looked over simultaneously.

Seeing the ST Automotive representatives walking out, a cold smile flashed across Adam Willow’s eyes, distinct from his usual genteel demeanor.

By now, many family members of patients and medical staff in the hospital cafeteria had also heard the news.

"Wow, Carter Automotive’s new car is actually plagiarized. I regret ordering one just yesterday."

"Yeah, they claim to be a beacon of national products, and I wanted to support domestic cars. Who knew it would be a copycat?"

"I’ve heard that Carter Automotive might soon go bankrupt because of this."

"I heard the reason Carter Automotive took the risk to plagiarize is that their newly-appointed president was too impetuous. Now, they’ve embarrassed themselves internationally."

The people kept eating and watching the news, complaining about Carter Automotive disgracing the nation.

"I’ve always said Carlos is useless.

Besides playing with women and plagiarizing, what else can he do?"

Adam Willow was closely watching the plagiarism incident and heard that ST Automotive might acquire Carter Automotive. If that happens, Carlos will have less standing in the group.

"Carlos’s Carter Automotive will be acquired by ST Automotive?"

Emily Parker looked at Smith and others in the news.

"I almost forgot, you don’t drive, so you might not have paid attention to this news ahead of time.

This situation is very serious. If ST Company really sues, not even a big company like Carter Clan can save Carter Automotive.

But all of this is Carlos’s own doing."

Just as Adam Willow finished speaking, a reporter intercepted Mr. Smith.

"Mr. Smith, you’re a representative of ST Automotive, how will ST Automotive handle this alleged car plagiarism case in the end?

Has Carter Automotive’s related responsible party apologized to you already?"

Mr. Smith’s face looked awkward as he forced a smile,

"Regarding this incident, we’ve already coordinated with the relevant parties. It’s a misunderstanding.

Carter Automotive did not commit plagiarism. Furthermore, after detailed discussions,

we’ve decided to collaborate with the automotive company."
