Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1283

He was in high spirits. "Mommy, Grandma said that it's going to be Regata Storica soon and it's the time when families get together. Are you coming home?”

I sighed, not knowing how to tell him.

He was bound to be heartbroken if I told him that I could not go back for Regata Storica.

Munchkin kept pressing, but I thought about it and changed the subject.

When I hung up the phone, Matthew looked at me and said, "If you want to go back to Whaldorf City to see your child, then don't worry and just go. Someone will be here to take care of me. You don't have to worry.”

Even though he said that, he only got hurt

because of me and could not return to Whaldorf City because of his injuries. It would be inappropriate for me to leave him here alone.

When the time came, every family would be bustling with liveliness, whereas he would stay in the hospital all alone. It was lonely to just think about it.

What if I got Liz to come here?

I thought about it and figured it would work.

Taking the opportunity of the time I went downstairs to buy some things, I called Liz's number.

I was hung up on. I frowned slightly and called again.

She answered it this time and spoke in an icy tone, "Why are you calling me, Wanda Lane? Are you trying to show off to me how happy you are to spend time with him?" I sighed. "You got the wrong idea, Liz. I called you to tell you that Matthew is hurt and is currently receiving treatment in the hospital. He really needs someone here to take care of him. It’s going to be Regata Storica in a few days and he won't be able to go back to Whaldorf City to spend the holiday with you, so I’m just asking if you can come over instead?

"Although Matthew looks cold and indifferent and acts super tough, he’s afraid of being alone more than anyone. If you come over and keep him company, then that will definitely warm his heart."

Liz did not say anything. After a long time, she asked, "Why are you helping me, Wanda?" "I'm not helping you. I’m only doing it because I owe him too much. I wish him well. I hope someone will love him and keep him warm. I hope someone will give him a sense of belonging in this world. I can't give him these things, so I hope you can do it instead."
