I walked into the hospital with Tyler. The nurse in the lobby immediately led us to the emergency room on one side and began to bandage Tyler skillfully.
Tyler knew that I was in a bad mood and I did not want to talk, but he still could not help but feel anxious. "How’s Munchkin?"
I gradually relaxed, no longer feeling the anger from before. I looked at Tyler. "Don't worry. The surgery is over and the doctor said that his recovery is going well. I’ve seen him. He’s still a little weak, but he’s in pretty good spirits."
With that, Tyler finally heaved a long sigh of relief.
"What about you, then?" He turned to me.
"I'm doing quite well," I answered lightly.
I was not feeling any physical discomfort but did not know how to deal with this child now.
Tyler seemed to have seen through what I was thinking. He said seriously, "Wanda, you don't have to be strong in front of me. If necessary, I can take care of you two, mother and child, as well as the child in your womb."
I knew he would take care of me, but I did not want to rush any arrangements just yet.
I nodded. "I know. You don't have to worry too much. I just want to calm down first and make a good plan for me and Munchkin.
Tyler said nothing more. He was used to it, and I did not change decisions that I had already made easily.
"Then you must take good care of yourself. Don't overtax yourself. If anything happens, you still have me."
He did not look away after he said that, and I could see that he still had something to ask.
"Do you want to ask what happened between Theo and ?" I had just asked directly.
He nodded. "I've been wanting to ask you about your situation, but I haven’t been able to get through your phone since last night. I was becoming more and more anxious, but Alex is so cunning. I couldn’t find him anywhere until Keith called me."
