Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, she didn't even dare to breathe, but she didn't see anyone outside through the peephole.
Hazel's voice across the room lowered from high to low, creating a faint sense of distance, gradually approaching, which sent shivers down her spine in the silent space.
"Emma came to look for you, did
As soon as the words fell.
you hear?"
Emma heard the knocking sound again.
She fearfully threw her phone directly at the wall, trembling uncontrollably: "Go away!"
At the hotel entrance, Wesley angrily retorted, "Open the door!"
Hazel heard the noise from the opposite side, so she tugged at the corner of her mouth and withdrew her hand from the wooden board.
Just now, she casually knocked a few times, making Emma think it was coming from her side.
It seems that her mental state was also not very stable.
Hazel immediately had an idea in her mind.
As for the thugs writhing in pain on the ground in the alley, they were taken away and dealt with by the arriving bodyguards.
"Snap!"
Wesley slapped Emma in the face, and in order to protect the baby in her belly from being affected, he had someone hold her shoulders.
Emma's eyes were filled with tears as she said, "Mr. Clarke..."
The man warned her from a higher position, "Take good care of the fetus. If anything happens to the child, you will be worthless, understand?"
If it weren't for Wesley's low survival rate of tadpoles and the fact that no woman around him got
pregnant, and he needed a son as an heir, and coincidentally Emma became pregnant, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to rescue her.
After the man left, Emma got up from the sofa and wiped the bloodstains from the corner of her mouth, completely devoid of the vulnerability she had just shown.
She looked at the closed door, her eyes filled with anger. She took out her phone and searched for the collaboration between Lucky Pharmacal Company and ZN Laboratory. As she read about their partnership, Emma touched her stomach, her sinister plan taking shape.
Hazel, you were not lucky every time!
With the support of the well-established company Lucky Pharmacal Company and the statement from ZN Laboratory, the introduction of fertility assistance and abortion prevention drugs has attracted the attention of many families.
They mostly desired to have their own children, but they were not successful due to their body's various indicators not meeting the standards.
In order to prevent bad people from purchasing such drugs and forcing women to engage in illegal activities. Anyone who purchased these two types of medications had to register with their real name. Meanwhile, customers who purchase the fetal protection products must hold the hospital's examination report, confirming that the child in the pregnant woman's belly is healthy.
When Hazel proposed the second condition, Jennifer was puzzled.

After all, this directly eliminates a large portion of customers, and from a profitability perspective, she would lose a significant amount of profit.
Hazel's response was only two words: human nature.
People who deviate from the right path for their own interests are not uncommon in life. She sets herself up like this in order to avoid incidents of being cheated.
But even so, flaws eventually emerged after the product was launched.
Many pregnancy vloggers purchased new products and gave positive reviews after using them for several cycles.
Only one anonymous blogger, who always made it clear before taking it, expressed a high level of trust in this medication developed by ZN Laboratory.
She, who used to update regularly at a fixed time every day, suddenly went missing one day.
A few days later, I appeared again. The setting was in a hospital, wearing patient clothing, and I claimed that I had miscarried after taking medication from ZN Laboratory.
It caused a huge uproar on the internet at one time.
All the online moms were incited and went to the hospital for check-ups, causing nearby hospitals to be overcrowded.
There was also a doctor who came out and stated that although these two types of medications had good effects, they were not suitable for all pregnant women, as some of the ingredients could cause fetal deformities.
Following that, there was a video of an old lady crying.
After taking medication, her daughter-in-law and daughter became pregnant at the same time, but later they both had miscarriages.
The old lady cried and complained that her two beloved pets, Jin Gege and Lucky, were gone. She demanded compensation from Lucky Pharmacal Company and ZN Laboratory for the loss of two lives in her family, starting with a sum of ten million dollars.
One wave had not subsided, and another wave rose again.
After the incident occurred, Hazel immediately arranged for people to visit the pregnant women involved. However, they all refused.
Their only demand was compensation.
Hazel was confident about the product she had developed, but if someone really encountered any
issues, she would naturally take full responsibility for it.
The most important thing at the moment was...
Did these people have an incident because they took drugs developed in the laboratory?
When Hazel received a call from Jennifer, she was leading the people from the laboratory to the hospital where the old lady was.
About her daughter-in-law and daughter being pregnant and having miscarriages at the same time. She needed to go and find out for herself.
Just...
Upon hearing that the old lady's daughter lived in a single room while her daughter-in-law lived in a multiple occupancy room, Hazel did not directly intervene.
She had others go look for the old lady, while she went to meet Julianne, the daughter-in-law, alone. The western suburbs within the inner loop of the city center, is a well-known undeveloped area in Seattle. Most of the people living here are those who fled from other provinces due to famine. Over a dozen people live in a small, cramped space, eagerly waiting to make a fortune after the subsequent demolition and relocation.

Compared to being alone in a single ward, the old lady was surrounded by her daughter, son-in-law, mother-in-law, and several other people, creating a warm atmosphere. On the other hand, there was only one person lying on the hospital bed on her daughter-in-law's side.
There wasn't even a nurse nearby.
Seeing her struggling to pour water, Hazel took the initiative to pour it for her. Just as she was about to hand it over, she realized that the cups were all cold.
"You are not suitable to drink cold water now. I will go and fetch hot water for you. Wait a moment."
Julianne expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you, sister, but it's okay, I'm used
it."
It was the grandmother on the next bed who heard these words and asked her granddaughter to pour some hot water. Julianne, in turn, thanked her repeatedly.
She had some difficulty getting up.
Hazel adjusted the height of her hospital bed.
After helping her up, she asked softly, "Why is it only you? Where are the rest of your family?"
Julianne smiled bitterly and said, "My younger sister-in-law is also in the hospital, and her condition is more serious than mine. They are all taking care of her over there."
Hazel frowned, "Isn't your husband here either?"
Speaking of this, Julianne's face didn't look very good either. She hung her head and spoke, more like persuading herself: "He also has a sister over there, his only sister. He's afraid something might happen, so he has been staying there all night."
Isn't the wife one anymore?
Hazel had a hard time understanding the thinking of these men.
She voluntarily stated her identity: "Don't worry, if it is indeed a medication issue, we will definitely compensate for it."
Julianne instantly became a little uneasy, opened her mouth, hesitated to speak, and her eyes also showed a hint of evasion. "Actually...'
Just then, the old lady came over carrying a lunchbox.
Seeing Hazel sitting by the bed, her sharp eyes immediately became alert: "Who are you, and who let you come here?"
"Mom, she was... she was my friend, she came to visit."
Hazel wore a mask and a hat, and the old lady didn't get a clear view of her face, but she noticed the table and looked very upset.
empty bedside
"What kind of friend comes to visit a patient empty-handed, I wonder how their parents taught them, they don't have a single brain."
Blaming the immature Hazel, the old lady directly placed the lunchbox in her hand by the bedside: "Here, your lunch. Remember to wash the lunchbox after finishing, I will have Dashan come and take it later." After finishing speaking, without caring about anything else Julianne might need, she just left, giving a disdainful glare at Hazel by the bedside before leaving.
At this moment, Hazel also received a reply from the person below.
After the old lady learned about their identities, she tripled the amount of compensation and is currently demanding thirty million.
She looked up after reading the message and saw that the lunchbox Julianne had opened clearly contained leftovers from someone else's meal.
All the meat was eaten, leaving behind some burnt vegetarian dishes. One-third of the white rice was left.

"Don't eat it, cold rice is not good for the body's recovery."
She had someone bring in a light meal, steaming hot. When Julianne lifted the end of the bed table, tears welled up in her eyes.
Julianne was sad but helpless: "I'm sorry, even if you are so good to me, I can't help you. My mother-in- law..."
