Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 86

Cecilia did not reply to my text. It was three in the morning and she was probably still on the plane!

Lying on the bed, my head felt dizzy. I wanted to get a good night's sleep but I just could not. The harder I tried, the more irritable I got; the more irritable I got, the clearer my head was. It all formed a vicious cycle.

I ignored Theo when he came in and pretended to be asleep.

He gently got in bed and embraced me from behind before quickly falling asleep.

I, on the other hand, did not drift off to sleep until it was almost dawn.

When Cecilia gave me a call, I was still very groggy.

"Where are you? I don't care where you are right now, I want you to go to the hospital immediately. I'll buy a ticket home right away." On the other end of the phone, Cecilia sounded nervous.

"I'm okay, don't worry. Go and enjoy yourself with peace of mind. I’ll go to the hospital in a while." I sat u p from the bed, Theo's warmth from his side of the bed still lingered.

"How can I not be worried? You haven't been yourself lately. I thought your condition would slowly get

better. I shouldn’t have left."

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to myself. I have to stay strong for my child. I've already pulled through and I’m just suffering from insomnia now. It's nothing..." I comforted her.

I regretted sending the text to Cecilia and spoiling her vacation mood. However, I was truly upset at the time and she was the only one I could talk to.

"Promise me that you'll go to the hospital immediately. Contact me if anything's wrong." After reassuring her over and over again, Cecilia finally agreed to not come back for now.

After I ended the call, I climbed out of bed. Although I was reluctant to go to the hospital, I had to go. It was not just to give Cecilia peace of mind but it was also for the sake of the child in my belly.

I opened my room door and was just about to walk downstairs when a voice from the living room stopped me in my tracks.
