After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire's Child-Chapter 225 - 220: Dream Shattered

"How are you here?"

Carlos’s voice was low and inquisitive as he slightly bowed his head to look at Emily Parker.

Emily felt a bit guilty for no reason, and the scene from this morning flashed through her mind instantly.

During breakfast, Carlos had asked her casually about her plans for the day and even offered to drop her off.

But Emily was still holding a grudge about the Rainny White incident, so she had ignored him with a cold face.

Who would have thought that after all the twists and turns, the two of them would meet again at Capital Medical College.

She steadied her mind and said,

"No way, I’m here with Senior Sister Long."

Carlos took a few steps to stand beside Emily, his tall figure naturally isolating her from the people around.

Emily almost bit her tongue in surprise, her eyes widened as she stammered,

"Are you here to see Dr. Sterling?"

"Didn’t get to see him."

Carlos spread his hands, a trace of helplessness flashing across his face,

"This Dr. Sterling is a big shot. I heard that except for the principal, no one at Capital Medical College has seen this guest professor."

Senior Sister Long stood by, watching everything unfold, her eyes switching between the two of them with a strange look.

Being one of the few who knew the two were already married, she always felt there was an indescribable weird atmosphere between this couple. They seemed intimate yet often showed a sense of estrangement and courtesy, making them hard to figure out.

Adam Willow also saw Emily Parker. When his gaze touched on the scene of Carlos and Emily standing side by side, his eyes briefly darkened, and an indescribable emotion flashed through them.

But his attention was quickly diverted.

The teacher who had come to notify the interview results before walked out of the office again, his voice loud,

"All candidates, the interview results will be displayed on the big screen."

As soon as he finished speaking, the big screen in the corridor lit up suddenly, the strong light attracting everyone’s attention.

Despite having already convinced himself that he was the chosen one, at this moment, Adam still couldn’t help but look at the big screen, a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

Senior Sister Long sighed softly, her expression a bit downcast as she quietly raised her head, prepared to accept a possibly less than ideal outcome.

Just then, a name slowly appeared on the big screen—"Abigail Long".

In an instant, the confident smiles on Adam Willow and Sophie Parker’s faces froze, as if hit by an immobilization spell. They stood there in disbelief.

Senior Sister Long was stunned too, her eyes widened, mouth agape, completely unable to believe her eyes at the moment.

Contrarily, Emily Parker’s lips curled into a sincere smile as she gently pushed Senior Sister Long,

"Senior Sister Long, congratulations!"

Senior Sister Long stood there in a daze, and only a few seconds later did she snap back to reality.

Her eyes opened wide instantly, filled with irrepressible excitement and joy, her voice trembling uncontrollably,

"I was admitted? But I didn’t even meet Dr. Sterling, how could this be possible?"

Her eyes still carried a strong sense of disbelief, as if she were dreaming.

"How could it be her?"

Sophie Parker was equally shocked and couldn’t help blurting out. Her eyebrows knitted tightly together, her eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

In her dream, everything wasn’t like this.

In that extremely realistic dream, the student of Dr. Sterling was clearly Brother Adam, but now reality diverged completely from the dream, making it hard for her to accept.

"What the hell is going on here?

I want to see the professor."

Adam Willow’s voice rose slightly out of anger, his usually gentle face reddening quickly out of rage and embarrassment.

People around started casting mocking glances, like sharp knives piercing into him.

His hands clenched into fists unconsciously, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.

For this interview, he had sacrificed so much, even quitting his stable job and turning down an olive branch from Doctor Reed, wholeheartedly believing he could become Dr. Sterling’s student.

For this goal, he had gone through fire and water, giving his all.

But now, Dr. Sterling chose Abigail Long?

A woman nearing 40 years old!

How could he possibly be content, how could he not be furious.

"There must be some shady dealings here!"

Sophie Parker shouted furiously, her emotions running high.

All signs indicated that her dream was not wrong, Dr. Sterling had even personally guided Brother Adam’s thesis. In her view, everything was supposed to progress smoothly towards Brother Adam becoming Dr. Sterling’s student.

But now, the result was absurd.

Then what went wrong?

Sophie Parker’s gaze, like a bolt of lightning, suddenly fixed on Emily Parker beside Abigail Long.

At that moment, a scene of Emily intimately discussing with Mr. William flashed through her mind like a TV screen.

That’s it!

It must be because of Emily!

She screamed in her mind with certainty.

Sophie’s eyes were instantly filled with jealousy and hatred. In her eyes, Emily was nothing but a manipulative vixen.

Previously, she had caught Oliver Ross’s attention and messed up her plans with Carlos.

This time, she might have used the same trick to get close to Dr. Sterling through Mr. William!

She stole Brother Adam’s spot!

The more Sophie thought about it, the more she felt her assumption was right, instantly accepting this so-called "fact".

Sophie’s eyes turned red with rage, her whole body exuding an intense fury. She stormed towards Emily like a mad beast.

Raising her hand high, she aimed to ruthlessly shove Emily.

At that critical moment, Carlos reacted swiftly and firmly shielded Emily behind him.

"Carlos, you’re still protecting her?"

Sophie screamed, her voice sharp and filled with disbelief and anger,

"Do you know how filthy this woman is?"

Her chest heaved violently, each breath like spurting fire.

In Sophie’s dream, Carlos had treated her like dirt since their blind date, sparing no contempt. He certainly wouldn’t protect her publicly.

But now, this man she had dismissed stood firmly in front of Emily, shielding her from harm.

Realizing this, the jealousy and hatred in Sophie’s heart grew fiercer like a fire doused in oil, burning away her reason.

Her eyes shone with madness and malice as she glared at Emily, as if wishing to devour her whole.

"Say one more bad word about her,

and I’ll make sure you never utter another word."

Carlos’s voice was cold as ice, devoid of any warmth. His low, threatening tone felt like a warning from the depths of hell, chilling to the bone.

His gaze was as sharp as an ice pick, stabbing straight at Sophie, his whole presence emanating an intimidating aura.

Hit by this coldness, Sophie shivered involuntarily, her body trembling slightly.

But the bitterness in her heart quickly took over again. She glared at Emily furiously, her eyes filled with venom.

Suddenly, an idea seemed to strike her, and a smug smile appeared on her face.

She took out her phone, her fingers quickly swiping on the screen, soon finding the video she had recorded that day.

She raised the phone screen high, yelling at Carlos and Emily,

"Look at this! Look at her charming act, she can’t argue her way out of this!"
