His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176

Mia remembered something and asked, “Don’t you have an IV catheter?”

Carly shook her head. She was too young to understand what that was.

I’ll ask the nurses later if we can use an IV catheter.” Mia tugged at the girl’s clothes, wrapping her coat more ightly.

But Carly whispered, “Aunt May won’t let me talk to the nurses. She tells me to tell her everything and she’ll talk to

he doctor.”

You should talk to the doctor about your illness, but you can ask the nurses about small things like that,” Mia said

with a smile.

Carly shook her head again. “No, Aunt May literally won’t let me talk to the nurses. At all. And when we come out o play, she won’t let me talk to the other kids either.”

Why?” Mia was surprised.

I don’t know.” Carly lowered her head, her voice muffled. “A few days ago, I snuck over to the room next door to ›lay. There was another kid who was sick too, but she didn’t have to get shots every day.”

Mia felt something was wrong. But she comforted the girl first. “Sneaking out really isn’t right. Don’t do that gain, okay?”

Okay,” Carly nodded.

Other than that, is there anything else?” Mia asked after a moment of thought.

Carly’s dark eyes blinked, then suddenly flickered. “The other day, Uncle Jaxon came back. I overheard him talking o Aunt May. They said something about a ‘slip-up’…”

Mia!”

Aunt May’s voice suddenly rang out from nearby. Mia looked up.

Aunt May was walking toward them, her face contorted with anger, clutching a lab report. “Carly, go back to the

vard!”

Carly was startled by her harsh tone. She stood up and hurried back toward the building.

You went through my bag?” Mia snatched the lab report back, her expression more solemn than ever. “Do you

ave any idea that this is an invasion of privacy?”

Aunt May threw caution to the wind. “So I invaded it! What, are you going to sue me? If you sue me, you can take over caring for all the kids at the orphanage yourself!”

Mia felt a surge of hot anger rising in her chest.

I knew you had a man, but you wouldn’t admit it! You’ve been pregnant for months! How long were you planning

o hide this?”

Aunt May’s accusations came fast and furious. The look she gave Mia was one of profound disappointment and heartbreak, as if Mia had committed some heinous crime.

Mia felt she was being irrational and turned to leave.

Aunt May blocked her path. “Tell me, who is the man? What’s his family like?”

He doesn’t exist,” Mia said coldly. “This child belongs only to me.”

Seeing how pale and icy Mia’s expression had become, Aunt May realized she was being too aggressive and tried o soften her tone. “You grew up in the orphanage. The orphanage is your home, and I am your family. Tell me what’s going on so I can help you handle this!”

Mia had long since become immune to her pretty words. “There’s nothing to handle. This child is mine. There is no father, and I will raise the child alone.”

You…” Aunt May grabbed her. “Fine. You won’t talk? Then go and get this child aborted right now! A child of unknown origin cannot be kept!”
