Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 140

If there was nothing urgent, Doctor Lynch would not b e reacting this way.

"Come down first.” Mason hung up the phone after he said that

I could sense that something was wrong. I grabbed my bag and ran downstairs without hesitation.

Downstairs, Mason was pacing back and forth in front of his car. When he saw me coming out, he came over t o give me a hand and said, "Walk slowly, you're pregnant."

"What happened?" I saw the anxiety and fear in the bottom of his eyes. I could not be bothered about anything else and asked him.

He helped me get into the passenger seat and fastened the seat belt for me. Then, he said, "Theo got into a car accident. He's in the hospital now."

My heart skipped a beat, and my energy started to drain.

"How is he?" I was startled for a moment, then I mustered the courage to ask him.

“I have no idea. After I heard the news, I came to pick you up." Mason looked serious, and he was speeding o n the road.

I could not help but hold onto the grab handle tightly. How did he get into an accident in broad daylight? Theo's driving skills had always been good.

Soon, we reached the hospital. We rushed to the entrance of the emergency room in a hurry. Zedd was standing there, looking anxious.

My legs felt like jelly. They were not working.

"How is he?" Mason came forward to ask.

"Not sure. He lost a lot of blood." Zedd kept staring at the sign above the emergency room. He sounded panicked.

Mason furrowed his brows and recovered his usual calmness. He asked in a deep voice, "Where did the accident happen?"

Zedd did not say anything. He shot me a glance, his pupils shifting about. Then, he looked at the other side of the corridor.

That was when I realized that Cindy was squatting on the floor far away. She was clutching her head and weeping silently. Her hair was messy, and there were several cuts on her hands and legs.

I did not have to think about it to figure out that Theo was with her when he got into an accident.

The door to the emergency room was opened. The doctor asked loudly, "Who's the patient's family?"

A moment ago, Cindy was still squatting there weakly.
