Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 261

When he heard me, he immediately sat up on the bed. A smile bloomed across his previously gloomy face as he said, "Wandy, you're finally here."

"Don't you know it’s a sin to waste food?" I glanced at the porridge on the ground before gazing disdainfully at him.

"You know what it’s like. I don't get along with strangers, and I don't like eating their food even more. Is the lasagna ready?" he said matter-of-factly as he stared at the food container in my hands, his expectations obvious.

I set up his over-bed table and put the container in front of him before saying wryly, "You need someone t o look after you because you’re hurt. If you think it's awkward to have a female nurse, I can arrange for you to have a male nurse."

He opened the container excitedly and stuffed two forkfuls of lasagne into his mouth before smacking his lips in satisfaction and saying, "I don’t need anyone to take care of me. I already have you, don't I? All you have to do is bring me food and stay with me t o chat for a while."

"I'm here to talk to you about that, actually. I'm going t o Whaldorf City with Theo tonight, so I might not be

able to bring you food anymore. A nurse would be able to prepare you food at the hospital once I’m gone!”

Seeing how energetic he was and how much gusto he ate his food with, it was just as the doctor had said. He was perfectly fine. The only reason he insisted on staying in the hospital was that he was acting like a little kid and thinking up ways to get me to bring him food.

He paused his movements, and the expression on his face changed as he asked, "Why are you going to Whaldorf City all of a sudden? Don't you know that place is a snakepit?"

"You always think of the worst-case scenario. I'm going with Theo this time, so what’s the worst that could happen?" I replied calmly.

"Exactly, it's dangerous because he’s there! Don't disregard what I've said to you. You'll come to a nasty end one day if you continue to stay by his side." He had a solemn expression on his face, and his voice became tinged with frostiness the more he spoke.

I did not say anything, thinking he was worried about nothing. Theo was treating me quite well right now, and he would not let anything happen to me. After all, I was carrying his child.

I left after sitting with him for a while longer and reminding him to stop kicking up so much of a fuss all the time.

He did not say anything else for the remaining time I spent with him. He had a solemn expression on his face and seemed to be deep in thought over something. Luckily, I was no longer bothered by his ever-changing moods.
