Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 280

Keith nodded and left.

Everyone else left the ward as well.

Theo reached out to hold my hand and gently comforted me. "Don't be afraid. I'm here."

"Didn’t you say that you won't be working after we come here and you'll keep me company every day?" I spoke, my voice still trembling a little. When I thought about what had happened earlier, I could still feel lingering fear inside of me.

He got up and sat on the bed, taking me into his arms. "I'm sorry, it’s all my fault. I didn't have plans at first but something came up at the branch office a few days ago so I had no choice but to go and deal with it."

Regret was written all over his face as he stroked my head constantly.

I knew he was not to be blamed. He had his own matters to deal with. I looked at him and said, "Let's go back to Salt City, Theo!"

What happened today was simply too fishy. Not many knew that I was afraid of dogs. Theo had also mentioned that things were slow-moving over here, yet he was constantly bustling about every day.

I suddenly recalled the time he got into a car accident

and was not around. Everything seemed to be replaying. If this went on, I did not know what else I would encounter.

"Alright. We’ll go back when I’m done dealing with the branch office's matters!"

I nodded without a word, an uneasy feeling rising in m y heart.

In the next few days, Theo’s workload only increased. He came to the hospital very late every day and with a weary expression. His bright and lucid eyes were now dark and dull. The sight of him like this was heartbreaking.

I was bored staying in the hospital. The bodyguards were watching me every day, not allowing me to step out of the ward.

After about a week in the hospital, I was finally permitted to be discharged. I excitedly gave Theo a call to pick me up from the hospital.

However, the phone rang for a long time and no one answered it. After a few calls, it was turned off.
