Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1488

"Don't worry, Munchkin will be okay," Theo slowly said.

I knew he was trying to comfort me, but the firmness in his tone could not give me any reassurance at all.

After all, I did not even know where Munchkin was right now.

I chose to trust him when it came to love, but common sense told me that I could only treat his words of comfort as a lie.

Sometimes, I would dream of the good times Munchkin and I had together. Sometimes, I dreamt that Munchkin had returned to my side. I would see him when he was still healthy. He even opened his arms and ran toward me.

Maybe it was because there was something on both of our minds, Theo and I could not stay asleep. Hence, we got up very early and went to the cemetery after having breakfast.

On the way there, I watched as the sun gradually rose from the edges of the city. However, I could not see hope.

When we arrived at the cemetery, I put the fresh flowers I bought on Cecilia's
