Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1274

After saying that, I opened the lunch box and started eating.

Matthew sat down beside me without a word. It was only until I had finished my food did he say, "Now that we're done with the checks, you should go back and catch up on sleep. Don't stay up late in the future or it'll be bad for your skin and health.”

I nodded. "I know."

Matthew pursed his lips and asked a little hesitantly, "Did you and Theo quarrel?"

I stopped drinking water for a moment, then took a sip and said with a smile, "It's normal for couples to fight. We'll be fine after a few days." "Why did you fight?' I screwed on the mineral water bottle cap and asked flatly, "Are you trying to be a counselor?" "How can I?"

Matthew laughed. "I just noticed you're in a bad mood and want to ask what's going on. I want to comfort you."

"Couples usually quarrel about the most insignificant things."

I changed the subject. "It's going to be Regata Storica soon. Are you going back to Whaldorf City too?”

Matthew nodded. "I'm going back. Why?"

"Nothing. Just asking."

We did not say anything else after that.

It was a sunny day with a cloudless sky. The sun felt warm on the skin.

Matthew told me to take a nap in the office, but I wanted to go home and take a nap. Hence, I planned to take in the sun outside for a while.

Gradually, my stomach started hurting.

Matthew noticed me clutching my stomach and asked a little nervously, "Does your stomach hurt?”

I nodded. "I may have caught a cold. It's no big deal."

"If you don't feel well, then go to the hospital and get it checked."

Matthew got up and said, "Let's go. I’ll take you to the hospital."

"Forget it."

I did a mental calculation. My period must be approaching, and that was why it hurt.

Matthew furrowed his brows and grabbed my arm, wanting to take me to the hospital by force.

I was just about to refuse when I noticed the shed ceiling above his head move. A bad feeling surged in my heart.

When I realized what was going on, Matthew sensed danger as well and dragged me up from the chair. We rushed out of the shed.

My stomach was hurting even more now. After running two steps, I was already covered in a cold sweat.

Seeing that the shed was about to crash, I shook Matthew's hand off and shouted anxiously, "Run! Don't worry about me."

With my running speed, I could never run out of the shed in time. However, Matthew could. I must not drag him down.

However, Matthew did not want to leave

me behind.

He grabbed my arm again and yanked me into his arms.

Then, the shed crashed down.

The huge impact crashed both of us to the ground. Matthew’s muffled grunt entered my ears.

I did not feel any pain because Matthew had taken the hit for me.

I cried out to him in a trembling voice, "Are you okay, Matthew?"

"Don't worry, I’m fine." His voice was very weak. "Someone will come and save us very soon. Are you hurt?"

"I'm not hurt at all." I wanted to cry.

"Glad to hear that."

I felt a deep sense of fear, and my body
