My Second Husband novel Chapter 872

In the ward, Harley reeked of alcohol. After entering the ward, he saw Cutie Pie lying on the bed and staggered towards him.

"Let me take a look at my son..."

Thea grabbed him immediately and stopped him, "He's asleep. You reek of alcohol. You shouldn't be near him!"

Harley stopped in his tracks. He lowered his head and gave himself a whiff. Then, he took a few steps back.

"You're right. My son is in poor health. I shouldn't stay here. I'll leave now! I don't want him to suffer because of me!"

Thea felt helpless and sighed, "Where are you planning to go?"

She was worried that he would cause trouble outside because he was drunk!

"There is a sofa over there. Can you go over and lie down there? I'll get you some water!"

Yet, Harley was still trying to leave. His actions made Thea anxious and she roared at him.

"Harley Louis!" Almost immediately, the air fell quiet. Harley gave in and headed straight for the sofa.

Thea heaved a sigh of relief. She turned around and went to pour a glass of warm water for him.

"Here, drink this! Didn't you quit drinking a long time ago? Why are you drinking again?"

Harley took a sip of water and started complaining.

"You're asking me why I went drinking? Do you know why? My wife is going to divorce me! It's a divorce, do you hear me?"

Thea frowned and sat down beside Harley.

"Isn't a divorce perfectly fine? When you were married, you had to return to your wife and child every day. Your wife was depressed and even constantly nagged at you! To make matters worse, her child is ill and has always been a hindrance to you. You could go back to the good old days after you get divorced, hooking up with pretty women and..."

Thea said with a wry smile.

However, the next second, Harley interrupted her.

"What are you talking about? What do you know about me? I'm happy that my wife nags at me and is possessive over me. Stop saying nonsense!"

Thea was stunned as Harley suddenly grabbed her arm.

"Wait, who are you? Why are you here? Get out of here! If Thea sees us, she'll misunderstand. Leave!"

Thea was speechless and frowned, "Don't you hate her? She said such harsh words to you. Why do you still care about her feelings?"

"What are you saying? What do you know? Isn't it normal for couples to quarrel? You don't need to worry about us!"

Thea just stared at him.

"Forget it, just rest!"

After that, she got up and walked towards the hospital bed. Behind her, Harley rolled on the sofa and fell onto the ground with a plop.

He was so drunk that he didn't realize that he had fallen onto the ground.

Then, he crawled over and grabbed hold of the leg of the table. Without knowing it, he curled up and fell asleep again.

Thea sighed and went back. When she was about to reach out to wake him, she heard him whispering something.

When Thea came close to him, she heard him muttering to the table as if it was his wife.

"Honey, you've lost weight again. It's my fault.

I didn't take good care of you and Cutie Pie. That's why Cutie Pie is sick. I didn't mean what I said in the afternoon. I don't want to divorce you! I can't bear to be divorced with you!"

Thea's heart ached. Her hand froze in the air.

He said that he couldn't bear to divorce her. Did he really think that it was easy for her as well?

She just didn't want to be a burden to him. He had already done too much for her.

After watching him in silence for a while, Thea finally calmed down again. She reached out and helped Harley up. Just when he was finally on the sofa, Harley wrapped his arms around her.
