Mia grabbed her phone and quickly punched in a number.
Cooper's eyebrows knitted in disbelief. His sister, of all people, remembered that guy's number, but not his?
Mia pressed the phone to her ear, waiting a moment before the call connected.
“Hello?” Andre answered.
Under her brother's watchful eye, Mia whispered, “Honey, I've really screwed up this time.”
Andre felt a sinking sensation in his gut. The last thing he wanted was her sweet voice telling him she'd messed up again.
“This time, you're also in trouble. The big problem isn't solved, and the small problem has already appeared.” Mia said.
Andre didn’t answered. He didn't understand. What did she mean by 'small problem'?
Cooper had had enough and said, “Tell him to get his ass over here right now.”
Mia spoke succinctly, “I'm at the emergency department of Mercy Hospital. You need to come and sign some papers as my next of kin.”
Before Andre could respond, Cooper snatched the phone from her hand and hung up. Pointing at Mia, he gritted out a warning, “We're not done with your mess yet!”
He'd barely been home when this giant problem had erupted. His teacher had already called to inquire about his situation. In the hospital room, Cooper communicated with his teacher over the phone, “I need to extend my stay.”
In less than half an hour, Andre's car pulled up at the hospital emergency department. He got out and walked into the emergency hall.
His arrival stunned the doctors and patients in the emergency department. Andre was here?
Once inside, he quickly asked a nurse, “Where's Mia?”
“Who?” The nurse was taken aback, then she remembered the beautiful pregnant woman who claimed to be Andre's wife but seemed to have some kind of mental disorder. “She's in bed 6.”
Andre walked into the ward, followed by the curious gaze of the nurses and doctors. Andre pushed open the door to the ward and saw his wife half-lying on the sixth bed.
“Darling.” As soon as Mia spoke, everyone was taken aback!
The nurses and doctors at the door were shocked. Were they telling the truth? Was Andre really her husband? Was the baby in her womb Andre's? Was Andre's child on the way?
Cooper looked at the man he had once admired so much, hearing his own sister call him. In that instant, it felt like a bomb had exploded in Cooper's brain.
“Andre, I thought you guys didn't know each other?!” Cooper asked.
Mia on the bed started to pass her problems to her husband. Andre looked at his furious brother-in-law and said, “Your sister loves to joke around, so I just played along.”
Cooper clenched his fists, looking at Andre's face and holding back the urge to punch him in public. He turned to his sister on the bed, “Mia, you really are something!” After that, he stormed out in anger.
Andre walked over to the bedside, looking at his wife lying on the bed, he asked unhappily, “Aren't you usually the one sending people to the hospital? How did you get hurt this time? Did you forget what I told you?” She could fight, but she must win.
He frowned, checking his wife's body with a heavy heart. Her arm was fine, no injuries, the neck, cheeks, both legs, feet, all uninjured. He asked coldly, “Where the hell are you hurt?”
