His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 387

Chapter 387

‘My phone is dead.”

Cole Preston pulled out his phone and tapped the screen twice. It remained black.

Before Chloe Bennett could say another word, he added, “Your WhatsApp is still the same, right? I’ll charge it when I get home and add you then.”

Chloe tucked her phone away. She opened her mouth to speak, but Cole was already catching up with Ethan Hale. As the group walked out of the restaurant, Ethan took the driver’s seat of his car. He rolled all the windows down, one hand resting on the steering wheel and the other propped against the door.

‘Ethan, my hotel isn’t on your way. Don’t worry about dropping me off. I’ll just grab a taxi with Co-”

Then take a taxi. Ethan and I are going the same way, so I’ll just ride with him.” Cole cut Chloe off, rounding the car and hopping into the passenger seat. He buckled his seatbelt in one fluid motion.

Chloe stood there, the words dying in her throat. She was practically vibrating with rage.

Stay safe on the way back. Let me know when you reach the hotel,” Ethan said simply before driving off.

Chloe watched the car speed away. “Damn you, Cole Preston! Are you seriously hiding from me? I don’t care what t takes-I’ll find out where you’re staying!”

..

Mia, you eat too little. Look at how tiny your belly is.”

At the dinner table, Clara saw that Mia Carter had stopped after just one small bowl of rice and began her notherly coaxing.

A girl shouldn’t stop eating just because she’s afraid of getting fat. Think of the baby. If he’s too small, it’ll be ›itiful. He’ll look like a little monkey when he’s born.”

Nina Torres chimed in, “She’s actually eating a lot right now. You should have seen her before; she ate like a cat. In wo months, even my little Toby will be eating more than her.”

l’oby was now old enough for some solid food. Clara was an excellent cook, and Toby’s appetite was growing by he day.

Sweetie, do you not like this today?” Clara noticed Toby wasn’t eating. She took off her apron and walked over, aking the bowl of baby food from Nina. “You eat. I’ll feed him.”

‘Alright, you take over. I’m starving,” Nina said, pushing Toby’s high chair to the side.

But as soon as Nina sat down, Toby suddenly burst into a loud wail.

‘Oh, sweetie, what’s wrong? Mommy’s just hungry. Let’s eat together, okay?” Nina tried to coax him while eating. Clara moved the spoon toward his mouth, but Toby swiped it away with his little arm. He screamed at the top of his lungs, looking toward Nina. His face turned beet red, veins popped on his forehead, and his voice went hoarse

within seconds.

The little guy had never cried like this before. Nina immediately dropped her chopsticks. “What happened?”

Clara prepared to pick him up. “Maybe he didn’t sleep enough and he’s tired… Oh my! Sweetie, you’re burning up! He has a fever!”

Nina was stunned. “A fever? Can babies this small even get fevers?”

Clara felt his forehead with her hand. She didn’t even need a thermometer to be certain. “It’s definitely over 102 degrees. We need to go to the hospital right now!”

Clara had been out at the market for nearly three hours, and Nina had been watching Toby the whole time. The fact that she hadn’t noticed he had a fever filled her with instant guilt, and her eyes turned red.

‘Go get Toby’s things ready. I’ll drive,” Mia said. Seeing Nina’s state, she was afraid her friend would be too distracted to drive safely.

‘What… what do I bring?” Nina was panicking. Under Clara’s direction, she grabbed a small jacket, a water bottle, and diapers, and they rushed out.

Mia drove them straight toward the hospital. Toby was crying the entire way. Even in Nina’s arms, his little legs were kicking. Nina’s heart was breaking, and she started crying along with him.
