The secretary had already recognized Emma Osborne's voice on the phone, and had learned of her pregnancy with Connor Osborne's child. Startled, she immediately inquired about the hospital and said she would inform Connor Osborne at once.
Only then did Emma Osborne provide the address of the hospital to Connor Osborne's secretary. Before hanging up, she solemnly warned, "Tell Connor Osborne that I, Emma Osborne, always keep my word. Test me if you doubt it. If he doesn't show up, I am certain some of our secrets will be exposed. He may not fear tarnishing his reputation, but I fear even less. It doesn't matter to me; we might as well bring everything to light!"
Having said that, Emma Osborne swiftly cut off the call before Connor Osborne's secretary could respond.
This frightened Connor Osborne's secretary terribly. She knew of the sibling relationship between Connor and Emma, but she was also aware of a different kind of relationship between them.
