Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 175

"She never tells me where she's going. The two of us don’t communicate much if we're not at home together. You're acting a little weird. What exactly is going on? Has she kidnapped your husband and hidden him away for her daughter?"

"I just received a call, and I think they got into a car accident. Can you find out the specifics for me?"

I was not in the mood to joke around with him. Mason and Zedd had not picked up my calls, so he was the only person I could find that might be able to help.

"Okay, I'll investigate immediately," he said solemnly, putting aside his previous unruly demeanor.

After hanging up the call, my heart continued to pound. I was unsure if I was nervous or afraid. I clenched the phone so hard that my palms became sweaty, and I paced back and forth in the room anxiously.

Ten minutes later, Xander called me and said, "I've booked the earliest flight tomorrow morning. Are you coming along?"

There was a thump in my heart. I had still been feeling quite hopeful just a moment ago, but my heart had now fallen into the abyss. The last trace of

strength in my body had been sapped away, leaving m e dry. It was too strenuous to even breathe now.

I composed myself and said, "Yes!"

"Don't worry too much about him, he's still in the resuscitation room. He should be fine since he was sent to the hospital in time. It's still early, so there’s no use panicking now. Get some sleep first, and I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning," Xander said in a slightly deep tone.

I massaged my sore glabella and said, "I know. Okay, I'm hanging up now. See you tomorrow morning."

How could I possibly fall asleep? I could not stand the stifling atmosphere in the house. The room was empty without Theo in it, making me need to gasp for air. I opened the window and sat on the balcony, waiting for the clock to tick forward.

It was obviously only three hours, yet it felt like a century.

At five o'clock, Xander called. I immediately got up, grabbed my bag, and dashed downstairs.

"We need to hurry, we don't have much time left." Xander checked his watch and turned around to ask m e, "You didn't sleep?”

I looked at him and asked, "Haven't you just done the same?"

Humans had feelings. Even though one might feel distant from one’s family members, when something happened, the people most worried were always one's family members.
