Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 242

Cindy saw that Theo was sitting beside me and holding my hand, so she stopped what she wanted to say and turned her eyes away silently.

After a little while, Cecilia was wheeled out of the operating room and sent into a ward. She was still unconscious, so Theo went to help with the registration matters while I stayed with her in her ward.

I called Jerome as I looked at the bandages on Cecilia's head. I could imagine how terrified she must have been when everything happened.

Holding her hand tightly, my heart quivered in fear.

Cindy had followed me into the ward and was leaning on the door frame while hugging herself. A ferocious glint flashed before her eyes as she said, "Looks like you two are living pretty harmoniously lately."

I was worried about Cecilia so I did not want to pay Cindy any attention. I glanced at her coldly. "Miss Reed, please don't concern yourself with whatever that’s happening between me and my husband.”

"Wanda Lane!" Cindy was enraged. She gritted her teeth and snapped. "Don't you dare think that he's completely yours now. Theowy is only taking care of

you because of the baby. As long as I'm willing, he'll return to my side sooner or later!”

I lifted my head and looked at her. "You’re right, Miss Reed. He won’t reject any of your whims and fancies. I’m fully convinced of that. So, if you want him, just go straight to him. You don’t have to let me know.

"If Theo really wants to be with you, I'll let him go and back off. If a man’s heart isn't with me, why would I want to keep a mere shell?”

After I was done, I glanced at her meaningfully.

Cindy was no fool. She understood what I was implying, but her stubborn arrogance would not allow her to back down after I said a few provoking words. Hence, she marched into the ward. From her face, it looked like a storm was brewing.

"Wanda Lane, you're now pregnant with Theowy's child, so I won't be able to do anything to you. Are you smug about it? However, have you ever weighed the consequences of fighting me? I have a hundred other ways to get back at you, for example...Why don't I take i t out on her?"

Right after she was done talking, her sinister gaze scanned Cecilia who was in deep sleep. The threatening intent in her voice could not be clearer.

I shot up to my feet, wary and cautious.
