Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1444

I almost fainted after hearing what he said.

Mason actually brought Munchkin to such a life-threatening place the last time.

After hanging up the phone, I looked at Theo and asked in a trembling voice, "That means that Munchkin is also suffering from some kind of disease, right?”

I could not accept the truth. Munchkin was still so young. How could he possibly suffer from such a serious disease?

Theo fell silent for a long time before saying in a hoarse voice, "When he took Munchkin away at the time, my men weren't able to find out that he brought Munchkin to the chemical plant. I found someone to reinvestigate it recently. Since he said so, it must be true. I believe he wouldn't have taken Munchkin to the suburban cabin if there wasn’t a leak.' "Munchkin is his son. How could he be so cruel?" I fought back the urge to cry out loud. "He knew the chemical plant was a very dangerous place. He was trying to kill him."

Theo pursed my lips. "Mason isn’t in charge of the Lynches’ industry in South Vasetine. He was probably unaware that there was a problem with the factory. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken Munchkin away after learning about the gas leak."

"Even if he was unaware and didn’t intend to hurt Munchkin, shouldn't he let have let us take Munchkin to the hospital for a check-up? He didn't tell us anything. If he had told us, then Munchkin would've been able to get treatment in time."

Having said that, I broke down and cried

Theo was in a bad mood too. He took a deep breath and said, "Let's not get anxious yet. Munchkin is already receiving treatment in the hospital. When the results are in, maybe things aren't actually that bad, or maybe what he has is just a common cold.'

We could only comfort ourselves right now, hoping that the heavens would be kind to this child.

The car came to the entrance of the hospital. We saw Cassey walking out with her child in her arms. Theo and I got out of the car. She said to us apologetically," Wanda, my baby isn’t used to a noisy environment and won't stop crying. I’ll be taking him home first. Caleb has work to do at the university and may only be able to come over at noon. Munchkin is still having his examination done. My brother and his wife are with him. Don’t worry too much. Maybe it's nothing major."

She could only offer words of comfort.

I nodded while holding back tears. "It's so cold today. You should hurry up and take the child home. Drive safe."

After she left with the child, Theo and I rushed to the hospital.

We came to the floor where Munchkin was having his examination and saw him being pushed into the examination room.

Petra and Grayson were on pins and needles. They walked back and forth with great anxiety.

Seeing that we had arrived, Petra looked at me with crimson eyes and spoke in a breaking voice, "When Munchkin caught a fever several times before, I kept thinking it was due to the change in season.

Although it was recurring, he would recover after taking his medication every time. He had a fever last night. I thought that he would get better after taking his medicine, but when I went to wake him up this morning, I noticed blood next to his pillow. He had a heavy nosebleed and even coughed up blood. It’s all my fault. I should've brought him to the hospital sooner to perform a full-body check-up.”

I took a deep breath and comforted her. " Don't worry, Mom. Maybe it's just too dry in winter. His nosebleed could also be triggered by his fever. He was a premature baby in the first place, so he’s physically weaker than his peers. It's normal for him to fall ill and catch fever more often than other healthier kids."
