Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1484

I turned around to glance at Theo beside me. "Don't worry, I'll be back in a while."

Theo looked at me and nodded firmly.

I followed the black-clad men to a room door. The two opened the door for me.

In the spacious living room, I saw Alex sitting in a wheelchair from afar. He was motionlessly gazing out at the scenery outside the window with his back facing me, completely defenseless.

"It seems like you really enjoy admiring the scenery, Mr. Hodds. Are you worried that we’ll spoil the atmosphere if we come in together?"

I was displeased by his actions earlier. He turned around with a smile. “You don't have to be so angry, Mrs. Grant. Have a seat."

As he said that, he pointed at the individual seat on the sofa. The seat was positioned directly opposite a coffee table with a tablet on it.

I was a little puzzled.

"I had long predicted your arrival, so I prepared a gift for you in advance.”

I slowly walked over to the tablet, and on it was a video-playing interface.

I played the video. On the screen, Munchkin was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed like he had fallen asleep. I saw a large respirator resting on his tiny face, and the screen of the instrument next to him was constantly changing.

I suppressed the urge inside of me. "What's the meaning of this?"

"It's a little bit of my sincerity.” The other party smiled calmly as though we were talking about a business and not a human life.

"I sent my men to look for Munchkin after you left. This is a portion of the footage we retrieved from the other party's monitor. As soon as you sign the agreement, I'll ask my men to get Munchkin out unharmed and also arrange for an instant surgery as soon as he gets out.”

I was sick of the smile that was eternally plastered across his face. "It seems like you think that the conditions you’re offering are very superior, Mr. Hodds."

The other party's smile vanished a little.

"Don't you think you’re really naive for trying to fool me into signing the agreement with a video clip? Do I seem that childish to you?"
