Raymond rushed to the hospital and saw Thaddeus standing outside the operating room with an unusually solemn face.“How did you know that Mona got into an accident? You even arrived before me.”“I was saved as ‘Husband’ under her contacts, so the medical staff called me first to inform me.” Thaddeus leaned against the wall, his tall body slack and lazy.“She saved your number as ‘Husband’?” Raymond was surprised.Did Mona really like Thaddeus? Raymond thought she knew her place well.Thaddeus gave him a sidelong glance. “Why? Is there a problem?”“No, but didn’t you two get divorced?”Thaddeus said coldly, “Stop making a fuss.”The door of the operating room opened, and Mona was wheeled out on a bed.Thaddeus immediately went over, pushed the nurse aside, and bent down to hold her hand.“Mr. Fontaine, the operation was very successful, but the wound she suffered was deep. She got a few stitches, and there’s a possibility of scarring.”Thaddeus looked at the unconscious woman
Although Mona had her back to Thaddeus, she could smell his pleasant scent. She felt groggy and could not be bothered to talk to him. As the anesthetic had not worn off, she closed her eyes and went back to sleep.Thaddeus stayed by her side quietly, looking at her peaceful face while she slept, and went into a daze.After a long time, the vibrating sound of an incoming phone call broke the quiet in the room.It was Mona’s phone. As Thaddeus did not want to wake her up, he picked up the phone and walked out of the ward.“Mommy.”Bobby’s childish voice sounded from the other end of the line. Thaddeus froze for a moment before speaking.“It’s Thaddeus. Your mommy is in the hospital and can’t come to the phone right now.”Bobby frowned and asked worriedly, “What happened to Mommy this time? Why’s she in the hospital?”The words ‘this time’ revealed that Mona often got into situations.It was indeed hard for a single woman to raise two children. Bobby was really worried about his
Thaddeus lifted his eyes and looked at Mona indifferently.“Oh, there’s no need for that, Mr. Fontaine. I can bear with it until I leave the hospital.”Mona pulled the quilt up and covered her body.Although the two had been naked under the same sheets countless times, this was a hospital. Since they were divorced, it was not very appropriate as well.“What are you embarrassed about? It’s not like we haven’t showered together before,” Thaddeus said carelessly, unbuttoning his cufflinks and rolling up his sleeves to reveal an attractive arm.He wrung out the towel in the warm water and pulled Mona’s quilt down, but she gripped it tightly.“Let go. Don’t make me use force.”Mona grew more and more embarrassed. What was he doing? They were in a hospital!“It’s better to call a nurse. I’m caked in dirt right now. I can’t let you clean me.”“Cut the crap.”Thaddeus forcefully ripped away the quilt and reached out to untie the sleeves of Mona’s hospital gown.When the beautiful vi
Thaddeus left the ward in silence. Mona looked at the man’s back, pretending not to know anything. Then, she called her two children to her side and asked them how their day at preschool went.Victor, who was left out, walked over, trying to get their attention.“How did you get hurt? How were you in a car accident all of a sudden?” He asked with concern.Mona smiled. “I’m fine. I was on my phone and didn’t notice the car behind me.”“It’s only been a few days since I saw you, and you’ve already gotten yourself into an accident. It looks like I’ll have to keep you under my nose at all times so that nothing happens to you.”“Yeah, it would be nice if we had another man in the house. That way, Mommy wouldn’t have to work so hard,” Bobby echoed.“Do you want to stay in our house, Daddy Victor? Be our real Daddy?” The curious Millie blinked her large eyes and asked her brother, “Are they going to get married?”Bobby did not say anything and looked at the two adults.He also wanted
On the contrary, the special medicine Victor’s mother could not live without caused suspicions to arise in Mona’s heart.“What do you mean she’s not sick?” Victor could not believe what Mona had said. “Besides, pulse reading isn’t exactly accurate. Maybe you’re overthinking it. My mother’s condition has always been looked at by our family doctor. If there really is no problem, why didn’t the doctor say anything?”Mona sighed. Perhaps she was overthinking it. After all, she only knew a bit about medicine. It was likely that she could be wrong.“By the way, how did you run into my mom? What did she say to you?”Victor suddenly remembered that his mother disproved of him and Mona dating. He was afraid his mother would say nonsense to Mona.“We didn’t talk much, but I have a feeling she doesn’t like me.”“My mom has been trying to get me to go on blind dates, wanting me to get married as soon as possible. It’s not that she doesn’t like you. She just hasn’t come around yet. After all,
Mona was stunned when she heard Victor’s question, then suddenly laughed.“What made you think I had feelings for Thaddeus?”Thaddeus and she were like two straight lines that had intersected once. There was no future after that.She believed Thaddeus thought the same way. It was ridiculous to talk about feelings.Victor’s eyes gazed over her smiling face and finally landed in the direction of the door. When he saw a figure flash past, he asked, “You mean you’ve never liked Thaddeus and were only with him because you were forced to?”Mona thought about it.That was not exactly true.She was still grateful to Thaddeus. If it were not for him, she and her children would not be where they were now.“I guess so.”Mona nodded in agreement.Thaddeus stood at the door, listening to Mona’s answer. He said nothing after, turned around, and left.The car stopped at the entrance of the hospital building. When Marcus saw Thaddeus walk out with an unpleasant expression, he hurriedly got
When Thaddeus heard it was Bobby, he opened the car door and stepped out with his slender legs.The man took off his sunglasses and looked at the little boy, who did not even reach his waist. He raised his brows and asked, “Do you need something?”Thaddeus guessed that the boy would tell him to stay away from his mother or something. After all, the boy did not like him. He liked his Daddy Victor more.Bobby was tiny in front of Thaddeus’s 190 cm stature and had to crane his neck to look at the man.“Can we find a place to sit down and talk? My neck is a little sore.”Thaddeus’s lips could not help but curl up as he let out a snicker.Bobby seemed annoyed. “You’re an adult, and I’m a kid. I haven’t grown up yet, so I’m not as tall as you. It’s very impolite to laugh at others, Mr. Fontaine.”Thaddeus’s snickers grew.Bobby gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, enduring it.He would not have talked to such a disrespectful person if not for the fact that he wanted to know thi
Thaddeus listened to Bobby, staying silent. Then, Bobby asked, “Mr. Fontaine, what exactly is your relationship with Mommy? Are you pursuing her?”The man raised his brows. “What makes you say that?”“Because you’re really nice to her. When she got into a car accident, you immediately appeared in the hospital to take care of her. Also, you went to our house and bought many gifts for Millie and me.”Bobby stared at Thaddeus intently. His face looked nervous as if he was expecting something.“Does that mean I like her? Kid, your understanding is a little too superficial.”“I think that’s what it means to like someone. Daddy Victor likes Mommy, so he always rushes to her side whenever something happens to her. He’s worried about her because he likes her.”At the mention of Victor, Thaddeus’s expression darkened, and he put Bobby down.“Your mom and I aren’t superior and subordinate. I’m your Daddy Victor’s uncle. If your mom and Victor were to get married, I would be her uncle-in-l
