Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 243

"It’s not your fault that you're blind, President Nichols, but it's your fault if you speak without thinking. Don’t you dare accuse others without finding out the truth. She had ill intentions first. I was merely protecting m y friend!"

"I didn't! I was kind enough to visit Miss Shane but Wanda threatened me not to meet Theo ever again. I refused and she got angry, so she pushed me."

Cindy's acting skills improved each time she put on a show. Her pitiful tone of voice, her sad expression, and her tears that came at just the right time even made me suspect if there was something wrong with my memory. 1

Zedd was righteously angry. His eyes bulged out of their sockets, and it was as if he could not wait to skin me alive.

I sighed. Oh well, this was not the first time this happened anyway. I already knew what Cindy wanted to say next. I ignored her and turned to Theo. "Are you done with the paperwork?"

He nodded and turned to Zedd. "Is this the time to be arguing? There's no one at the operating room. Go and be on standby there. Call me if anything happens."

Zedd may be upset, but once Theo gave his orders, he would still listen. Zedd glared spitefully at me and pulled Cindy out of the door. When he walked past me, he muttered, "I’ll make you pay for this."

I did not speak. I watched them leave with no expression on my face.

In other people’s eyes, Cindy must seem like an angel who everyone pampered. She had Theo’s unconditional understanding, Zedd's blatant, fierce love, and now, a pair of powerful parents.

She was the moon that was worshipped by the stars around her, and she never had to feel powerless. How nice!

"Come, sit down.” Theo pointed at the stool beside him and looked at me apathetically.

Cecilia was not awake yet, so I went to sit beside him. I looked at him and said, "There’s nothing else to do here, I can be here alone just fine. You can go tend to your matters."

"Mason is still in the operating room, where else should I go?" Theo answered faintly.

That was true,l. He could not leave yet.

In that moment of silence, I started nodding off while I was leaning against the back of the chair. Theo angled my head into his embrace. That was when Zedd called and informed him that Mason was out from surgery.

Theo rushed there, while I waited for Cecilia to wake u

Not long later, Cecilia woke up. Her eyes scanned her surroundings before she asked, "Why am I in the hospital? How is he doing?”
