After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire's Child-Chapter 216 - 211 She Is More Important Than Anyone Else

Carlos’s gaze fixed on that familiar number, hesitating slightly.

The surrounding air seemed to have frozen, and time felt slow at this moment.

After a brief pause, he still pressed the answer button.

In an instant, a faint sobbing sound came from the other end of the phone.

"Brother Carter..." Rainny White’s voice carried a sobbing tone, filled with endless grievances.

Carlos instinctively turned his head slightly, glancing at Emily Parker sitting beside him. For some reason, a nameless sense of guilt surged in his heart.

Emily was quietly looking out the window, the street scenes passing by like a carousel. She seemed to have not heard the phone call at all, her expression calm as water.

"What’s wrong?"

Carlos asked, his voice unconsciously softening.

He hadn’t been in contact with Rainny White for quite some time.

During this period, he was overwhelmed with work, and the messages Rainny sent were only replied to hastily.

"I got fired."

Rainny said with a stammering voice, full of disbelief and disappointment.

Rainny had been working at the Carter Clan for a month, during which she gave her all. Her work ability was recognized by everyone, and she was even praised by Vice President Palmer before.

At that time, she was overjoyed, believing that she would be able to remain at the Carter Clan if she successfully completed her internship.

In such a prestigious company as the Carter Clan, if she could stay, she would have the opportunity to root herself in the Capital and start a new life.

But now, everything has turned into a bubble, and the immense disparity was beyond her ability to bear. All her grievances could only be confided to Carlos.

On this end of the phone, Carlos frowned slightly.

Rainny’s voice came intermittently, carrying a cautious guilt.

"I didn’t mean to bother you.

But I didn’t know who else to turn to."

Her words were full of helplessness, like someone groping in the dark, and Carlos was the first one she thought of.

Carlos was silent for a moment, Rainny’s face flashing in his mind, and he couldn’t help but feel a touch of compassion.

He cleared his throat, about to offer some words of comfort, but then instinctively glanced at Emily beside him, swallowing back the words he was about to say.

Emily continued to look out the window, but Carlos felt a faint sense of detachment surrounding her, making him inexplicably uneasy.

He took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice calm and gentle,

"Rainny, don’t rush. Tell me slowly, what exactly happened?"

Rainny sniffled on the other end, starting to recount the process of her dismissal intermittently.

"It was someone from the Secretariat who informed me, saying that I offended the miss."

Rainny’s heart was full of grievances, her voice choked with sobs.

Recalling the scene of attending the City First Middle School’s literary performance, she was full of confusion.

A few days ago, she was still excitedly following Vice President Palmer to the performance. When she cupped the flowers in both hands and respectfully presented them to the miss, the miss smiled warmly and thanked her kindly.

The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant at the time, and she clearly remembered that the miss was in a very good mood. She couldn’t figure out why she suddenly offended her.

"I really don’t know what I did wrong."

Rainny choked with sobs, her words filled with confusion and helplessness,

"This morning, I came to work as usual, but before I could even sit down, someone from the Secretariat told me with a stern face that I was fired. They didn’t even clearly state the specific reason, only emphasizing that I offended the miss.

Brother Carter, can you ask Brother Ross what’s going on?"

Rainny’s tone carried a plea, full of hope that Carlos would find out the truth and help her get her job back.

Carlos sighed softly when he heard this, raising his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose—it turned out to be this incident.

At the literary performance that day, there were frequent mishaps. Rainny probably got too nervous and mistook the intended recipient, giving the flowers meant for Maria Carter to Amelia Willow instead.

The scene was somewhat chaotic at that time, and Carlos didn’t have the opportunity to remind her.

Maria must have been upset and couldn’t swallow this, so she took it out on Rainny.

Thinking of this, Carlos felt conflicted. On one side was Rainny, on the other was his difficult-to-deal-with sister, Maria; it was indeed a tricky situation.

On the phone, Rainny’s voice carried cautious probing, mixed with deep disappointment.

"Brother Carter, if you find it difficult.

Could you help transfer me back to Carter Automotive? I don’t ask for much; I just need a job to support myself.

You know, my family’s situation isn’t great. My father passed away when I was young.

My mother is also in poor health, and these years, my university fees have cost a lot; I need to find a job as soon as possible."

Her tone was filled with helplessness. Once able to work at the Carter Clan, she was overjoyed.

But now, having been dismissed, she could only retreat and settle for less, hoping to return to Carter Automotive, at least to have a place to make a living.

Listening to Rainny’s words, Carlos felt a tinge of discomfort. Rainny’s family was indeed poor and needed the job, and he couldn’t ignore it.

"Rainny, don’t worry. Wait for my news."

Carlos hung up the phone and turned to see Emily looking at him.

Emily quietly sat there, emotions swirling in her eyes,

"It seems he really loves Rainny White, willing to disregard his sister Maria Carter’s feelings for her."

She thought silently, a sour feeling quietly creeping up her heart. Her gaze, which was just now looking toward the window, instantly dimmed, like stars shrouded by clouds blocking the light.

She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes hiding a trace of inexpressible disappointment in her eyes.

Carlos had been secretly watching Emily, and seeing her like this, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt a sudden panic.

He opened his mouth, wanting to explain something.

"Emily, don’t misunderstand. Rainny and I are just... I can’t ignore her issues."

Carlos’s voice was somewhat anxious, and just as he was racking his brain to explain clearly, the car slowly came to a stop, right at the entrance of Eastern Hospital.

Emily remained silent, her face still carrying a faint sense of detachment.

She seemed unwilling to listen to Carlos’s explanation any longer, nor did she want to face her own complex emotions at the moment, so she decisively opened the car door and got out.

Her actions were quick and brisk, and she quickly merged into the flow of people coming and going at the hospital entrance.

Emily got out of the car in one breath, her heart full of grievance and disappointment, her steps urgent as she walked toward the hospital.

She lowered her head, immersed in her thoughts, not noticing the situation ahead at all. After walking a few steps, she suddenly bumped into someone’s arms.

She let out a soft grunt and instinctively took a step back, raising her head, just about to apologize, but at the moment she saw the person’s face clearly.

The other person couldn’t help but exclaim softly, "Doctor, I finally found you!"
