Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 18

"Do not worry, the child is fine," Mason suddenly spoke in his usual cold voice.

Startled, I turned to find him standing at the foot of m y bed.

After what had happened, I thought that I would not b e able to keep the child alive. I was relieved that the baby was alright.

Mason kept staring at me.

Feeling a little awkward, I turned my head and tried to prop myself up, but I could not move. He stretched out his hand behind my back and helped me to sit up. He reached for a cushion and placed it behind my back for me to lean on.

"Thank you." I felt even more awkward, trying to distance myself as far away from him as possible.

He did not say anything. He just reached over to fiddle with the IV drip bottle to make sure the liquid continued flowing into me.

I looked up at him.

He understood my confusion and said, "Do not worry. I t is just nutrient fluid. It will not harm the child. You were malnourished and weak. That is why you fainted."

"Does he know?" Since Mason knew the existence of the child, Theo might also know about it.

He stopped what he was doing, and his dark eyes looked at me. He narrowed his eyes. "You do not want him to know, do you?"

I shook my head. "He is the father of the child. He will find out eventually. It is just not the right time yet. He wants a divorce and I do not want him to think that I a m using the child to keep him around."

Mason looked at me in surprise and said, "But he already knew."

My heart skipped a beat. I looked at Mason and asked tentatively, “Was he angry? Did he not want me to keep this child?"

"I am not him. You should ask him yourself about what he is thinking.” Mason stopped what he was doing and looked at me. "Theo has always loved children. Plus, the Grant family desperately needs offspring. There is no reason for him not to want the baby."

After that, he turned off the lights. "You still need to rest. Get some sleep. We will continue our conversation when you wake up.”
