Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 75

When Heidi came in, I was sitting on the couch, sweating profusely and my eyes a little unfocused.

"What’s wrong, Wanda?" Frightened, she quickly rushed over.

Her voice finally brought me back to reality. I looked u p and said in a soft voice, "I'm okay. I was just a little cold earlier. Can you switch the heater off for me and grab me a glass of warm water?”

Heidi brought me a glass of warm water and said worriedly, "Maybe I should take you to the hospital. You don't look so good."

"I'll be fine in a while. Go ahead and do what you need t o do. I'll rest for a while." After drinking my water, I weakly laid back down on the sofa.

All these years, I had tried to forget that. However, after a single phone call today, all those emotions were flooding back in again.

Just then, the phone that I had tossed into a corner started ringing again.

I was startled. I instinctively covered my ears in an attempt to block out the sound, but the phone would not stop ringing.

I was too afraid to pick it up-afraid it was a call from

him.

"Your phone is ringing, Wanda." Heidi picked up the phone and handed it to me, a curious look on her face.

Seeing that the call was from Cecilia, I breathed out a sigh of relief. I hinted at Heidi to leave the room, and I picked up the call.

"I'm free, my dear. I'm okay now. I'm out!" At the other end of the line, Cecilia was so happy she could barely form a sentence.

"Glad you're okay, so glad you’re okay." I was equally delighted to hear the good news.

Cecilia was so excited she did not notice my mood was a little off. She continued, "They said they found new evidence, and they now know the man wasn't hit by me. So they released me! Where are you? Let’s get a drink and celebrate."

"I'm still at work. You probably didn’t get enough rest, what with you spending the whole night there. Go home, take a shower, and have a good nap. We’ll celebrate, but only tonight. Dinner's on me."

"You’re right. I've been worried for the whole night, so I haven't had a good rest. Let's meet tonight." Cecilia hung up.

With Cecilia's affairs now resolved, my gloomy mood was instantly lifted.
