Eudora, who was beside them, could only gawk in disbelief. Were her ears deceiving her?
Harley said Cutie Pie was his and Thea's son. But didn't he deny it before?
Amos suddenly smiled and reached out to hold Eudora's hand. He chuckled, "Let's go. Didn't you mention you wanted to get food?"
When they went outside, Eudora couldn't help but gossip.
"What's going on? Didn't they say that the child belonged to someone else?"
Amos poked her forehead jokingly and explained, "This was an odd coincidence. I suddenly remembered there was a time when Harley had been in a dilemma. Now, I think they might have had it wrong all along."
Eudora's eyes lit up.
"Are you saying referring to the night where Thea and Harley mistakenly slept with someone else, only to find out now that they had slept with each other?"
Amos nodded and said with a teasing tone.
"My wife is getting smarter!"
Eudora rolled her eyes at him and smirked, "I've always been smart, okay?"
Amos pursed his lips and broke into laughter.
"Yes, you have always been smart!"
In the ward, Thea's heart was palpitating.
"Harley, are you serious?"
Harley handed her the results to the paternity test. He had gone to find a contact of his in the afternoon to run the test for him. After the results were out, he had been holding it in his hand the entire time. There couldn't be anything wrong with it.
"Look at it yourself!"
On the test's result, a "99.6 percent" was printed in the column for parent-child relationship, and it misted over Thea's eyes.
"Cutie Pie is really our child!"
"Yes, we had the wrong idea all along! I remembered it only after Martin reminded me today. It turned out I drove him away that night after you were drunk. It was me who took you to the hotel, and it was also me who was with you that night! But later on, both of us misunderstood what happened somehow!"
Thea was exhilarated, but the next moment, she reached out and tenderly punched Harley's chest a few times.
"It's all your fault. Why didn't you think of it earlier? I've been carrying this regret for so long!"
"Yes, it's all my fault. I'm sorry, Thea!"
How could he not know that Thea had been regretful about it? Otherwise, how would a jolly woman like her suffer from postpartum depression?
While holding her, Harley comforted her gently.
"Now that the cat is out of the bag, let's not keep any secrets from each other from now on, okay? No matter what, we should talk about it so that something like this will never happen again!"
"Okay!" Thea nodded.
The next second, she turned around and looked at Cutie Pie, who was still sleeping soundly on the bed.
She grabbed Harley's hand and said, "Come on, let's go home!"
Meanwhile, the nurse came in. Thea asked her to take care of Cutie Pie.
Harley looked at her puzzled and asked, "What do you need? I'll go back and get it for you!"
Thea sniffed and said, "Let's go back and make a baby!"
Harley froze for a moment. Then, he laughed and said, "Okay, let's go back and make a baby!"
When Eudora and Amos came back with the meals they bought, Thea and Harley were gone again!
Eudora asked the nurse curiously, "Where are they?"
The nurse revealed shyly, "They're long gone!"
"Where did they go? They were acting so strange. Why aren't they keeping their son company? Why did they have to leave again?"
The nurse blushed and remained silent. She was a young girl who specialized in looking after children, so she was easily embarrassed.
Seeing that, Amos stretched out and grabbed Eudora. He said, "Alright. You bought a lot of food, didn't you? Hurry up and take it out!"
