His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 349

Chapter 349

Dr. Preston, you’re a doctor, not a psychic. Watch what you say.”

Mia Carter’s voice was cold and stern.

Cole Preston went silent.

I’m going to check on him now.”

The light turned green. Mia floored the accelerator and pulled a U-turn at the intersection, heading straight oward Eastport Manor.

Half an hour later, Mia stepped out of her car while answering a call from Nina Torres.

I’m just checking on him as a subordinate. It’s bad for business if something happens to him. Yes, yes, you’re right,

he’s a total hassle…”

Nina had found out Ethan Hale was in town and hadn’t stopped complaining. She suspected Mia was hiding something from her or had other intentions.

Mia explained helplessly, agreeing with everything Nina said just to soothe her.

Come back as soon as you can. You are not allowed to stay the night there,” Nina snapped before hanging up.

The faint glow of the phone screen illuminated Mia’s small face. Her brow was furrowed as she sent a follow-up nessage to Nina.

I’m definitely coming home, but it’ll be late. Put Toby to bed and sleep. Don’t wait up for me.]

Nina: [Got it. I’m not waiting for you. But if I find out you didn’t come back, there will be consequences’]

Mia replied with a quick “Okay” and tucked her phone away as she walked toward the villa.

She looked up and suddenly froze, locking eyes with a deep, brooding gaze.

Ethan was standing at the entrance of the villa, his tall frame leaning casually against the wall. A cigarette burned lowly between his long fingers.

She had no idea how long he had been standing there, but he must have stepped out before she even got out of the

ar, otherwise she would have seen him move.

That meant… he had heard her entire phone call.

Mr. Hale, since you’re clearly fine, I’ll be going now.”

Mia stood frozen for a few seconds before turning to leave. Her pace was so fast it was as if a ghost were chasing her. She was terrified he would suddenly speak up and stop her.

But even as she opened her car door and climbed inside, the man remained silent.

Mia couldn’t help but look back one last time.

The porch light cast a dim yellow glow, turning the man’s white shirt a soft shade of orange. His sharp features were perfectly defined, but his dark eyes were like bottomless pits.

His face looked flushed-not the healthy kind, but a sickly, unnatural red that mood out against his usual pate

complexion.

Her intuition told her he was still burning up.

After a few seconds of silence, Mia shut the car door and walked back to him. She reached him and pressed her hand against his forehead.

‘Didn’t you take any fever reducers?”

Ethan crushed the cigarette and waved his hand to clear the smoke.

I did.”

The moment he spoke, his raspy, strained voice betrayed his condition.

When did you take them? What’s your temperature? Mia asked.

Two hours ago. I didn’t check the temperature.”

Ethan felt like his head weighed a ton, so he had just grabbed some medicine. The symptoms hadn’t improved, and he felt a wave of restless heat inside, which was why he had come out for some air.

Go inside and check it,” Mia said, leading the way into the villa.

Ethan’s voice was low and mocking. I won’t die.”

He didn’t follow her in. Those three words were the perfect embodiment of petty sarcasm.

Mia set her bag on the foyer table, paused for a moment, and then went to find the first-aid kit.

she saw the opened medicine packaging on the coffee table and looked through them. She froze

The fever reducers were still sealed in their foil. But the acclimation medicine for travel sickness was missing six or seven pills!

Mia’s head throbbed. She turned around, grabbed her bag, and practically dragged Ethan toward the car

I’m taking you to the hospital.”

3than’s wrist tightened as he felt the cool touch of her skin. He looked down and saw Mia’s slender, white hand wrapped around his wrist. Her fingers were so long and thin she couldn’t even meet her thumb, her pinky hooking
