Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1000

Halfway through the night, there were thunderstorms and it started raining heavily outside.

I was somewhat afraid of thunder, not to mention that I was still in the hospital. I had no way of going back t o sleep after I woke up.

After lying on the bed for a very long time, I felt slightly uncomfortable and wanted to sit up.

However, my movement was a tad too big, so I knocked over the IV pole. The medicine bottle fell to the floor and shattered.

Outside the door, Stephan heard the noise and came i n. When he saw the medicine bottle that had shattered on the floor, he frowned slightly and turned around to leave. Soon, he returned with a nurse.

The nurse re-injected my IV, then explained a few things before leaving.

Stephan stared at me for a few minutes and turned around to leave. I quickly called out to him, "Wait, Mr. Stephan."

He looked back at me and asked politely, "How can I help you, Ms. Lane?”

I pursed my lips. "I want to know what sort of grudge there is between Theo and Milan."

Stephan frowned slightly, obviously not wanting to tell me. He fell silent for a very long time and merely said, "What you need now is plenty of rest, Ms. Lane.”

He turned around to leave after saying that. As I was i n a hurry to get out of bed to chase after him, I fell to the floor as soon as I stood up. My legs gave out.

I quickly said, "Since you're using my life to threaten Theo, can I at least die knowing what's going on?"

Stephan looked back at me, his face filled with displeasure. "You should cherish your life, Ms. Lane.”

I took a deep breath and said while looking at him, "I know you’re not from this country, Mr. Stephan.

You're from the same country as I am. I don't care what prompted you to be Milan's underling, but you should know that doing bad things has its repercussions."

Stephan sneered, looking at me like he was staring at a fool.

The nurse came in to clean up the pieces of the broken bottle on the floor. When she saw me sitting on the floor, she rushed over to help me up.

When I lay down on the bed, Stephan sat down on the chair in front of the bed.

His complexion was a little tanned, and he looked like a typical tough guy. When he stared at me unblinkingly like that, it actually made me feel a little pressured.

I pursed my lips. "What do you wish to say?"

Stephan said blandly, "I don't believe in retaliation. What Mr. Grant and Mr. Milan have going on between them is their own matter. After you brought up Theo Grant’s name in the car, that was when Milan came up with this plan."

After a pause, he continued, "We thought you were just Jordan’s woman at first, but when you mentioned that the Grants, Schumans, and Louises from Capital City could protect you, Mr. Milan sent someone to investigate it. Although we didn’t get a lot of information, it was enough to ensure that we were able to escape unscathed."

My complexion was a little pale. I had no idea that mentioning Theo's name to Franky in the car could bring about such repercussions.

After a long silence, I said, "I would like to know what personal grudge there is between Milan and Theo."

Stephan leaned in his chair and said, "Back then, Nord Grant and Mr. Milan's father were very good business partners. Later, Mr. Milan's father went abroad to expand his business but it didn't work as planned. There was even once when they had nothing to eat. In order to sustain his wife and kids, he had no choice but to do things that crossed the line. One day, Mr. Nord brought Mr. Theo abroad to visit him but accidentally exposed his deeds.”

I frowned, vaguely recalling something.
