Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 914

Worried that I would be bored by myself, Petra accompanied me until ten at night before leaving.

I was not very sleepy, so I sat on the sofa scrolling on my phone before unknowingly falling asleep.

As I was worried about Theo, I did not fall into a deep sleep. When Theo woke up and was about to get out of bed, I immediately jolted awake.

Almost instinctively, I jumped up from the sofa and ran over to support him.

He had probably torn his wound, which explained why he woke up with sweat on his forehead. He looked at me apologetically and said, "I'm sorry I woke you up."

Looking at his head full of sweat, I was a little worried. "Call me if you want to go to the bathroom. Don’t move around by yourself."

Theo acted tough. "I can manage."

"Theo Grant." I pulled a long face.

He looked at me. Only after a long time did he sigh helplessly and give in. "Okay. I'm going to the bathroom now. Can you help me?"

I smiled. "That’s more like it."

He was so much taller than me that when I held him u p, it looked more like he was holding me up.

When we entered the bathroom, his hand was still attached to the tube. I barely thought twice about it as I lowered my head to undo his pants.

He held my hand down with one hand, looking a little helpless. "Alright, enough. I can manage by myself now. Wait for me outside."

I was still worried. "It's hard to do it by yourself."

"Be good." He lowered his head to kiss my forehead. "I can manage by myself. Can you wait outside for me?"

I frowned in a dilemma. The two of us had reached a deadlock.

Theo sighed helplessly. "I'm going to keep holding it i n until I die if you don't go out."

After living with him for so many years, I knew how stubborn he could be, so I had no choice but to leave the bathroom.

I waited at the door of the bathroom. Seeing that he had not come out after a very long time, I shouted inside worriedly, "Is everything okay, Theo?"

"I'll be done soon," he replied, his voice cool and dry.

About ten minutes later, I heard the sound of water and was about to go in when Theo came out first.

Seeing that he was fine, I breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to help him back to bed.

The nurse came in to change his bandage because he needed to dress his wound every three hours. I saw the hideous wound on his arm and felt my heart clench.

The nurse spoke while dressing his wound, "The faster your wound heals now, the better it’ll be. Only after it heals can we determine if your arm can make a full recovery, so don't make any big movements."

Theo nodded slightly. "Got it."

When the wound was dealt with, Theo was administered fluids again. The medication knocked Theo to sleep again in no time at all.

I sat on the edge of the bed, unable to fall asleep. This would certainly leave a scar, but a scar was no big deal. What if his arm could not move any longer in the future?

Theo wanted to go back to Whaldorf City, but considering the fact that his wound might tear during the journey, I advised him to go back after his wound healed. He agreed.

Munchkin definitely could not stay here, so I asked Tyler to take him back to Whaldorf City.

Petra and Grayson would come and visit us almost every day. Although we did not have much to talk about, we were getting along quite well.

On this day, Petra brought soup over again. When she saw my ill complexion, she advised me, "Why don’t you take a good rest at the hotel? We can stay here tonight."

She said those words rather cautiously.

I shook my head. "It's fine. I can sleep here at night too. It doesn't matter. You have lots to do in Whaldorf City and should probably go back soon."

Petra hurriedly shook her head. "There's not much to d o in Whaldorf City. We'll only be staying at home even i f we go back."

I did not persuade her anymore after hearing what she said.
