His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 492

Chapter 492

Cole took the phone and flipped it over, his fingers dancing across the screen.

Leo replied, “Mr. Hale bought it himself. I’m not sure about the price.”

“I see.” Cole tapped the screen a few more times.

Before he could set the phone down, the ward door was pushed open.

Ethan walked in.

He went straight to Cole, took the phone, and checked the unread messages and missed calls as he walked toward

the sofa.

Most of the messages were from the Hale family.

Before the wedding was supposed to start, the Hale grandparents had messaged him, saying that since he had decided to marry, he shouldn’t pull any stunts.

There were also orders from Miranda demanding he return immediately.

After the wedding was canceled, the Hale family had gone quiet. In their place were messages from various shareholders demanding answers.

Ethan scanned them one by one, replying to a select few and ignoring the rest before tossing the phone aside to continue with the paperwork.

‘Mr. Hale, regarding Ms. Carter…” Leo started.

‘The doula is back,” Ethan replied.

Leo let out an “oh” and fell silent.

‘Right.” Ethan looked up at Cole. “Didn’t you say you sent me a message?”

Cole blinked twice. “I just realized the signal was bad. It didn’t go through.”

He pointed to the phone on the nightstand. “That’s Mia’s phone. I just finished charging it. It kept ringing and was

oo loud, so I muted it. Why don’t you take it to her?”

As he spoke, the screen lit up again.

Another call was coming in.

Cole looked at the screen, then back at Ethan.

‘It’s Jaxon Rivers. Ever since the phone turned on, he’s been calling faster than a pulse. He’s probably worried sick. Should we… answer?”

Ethan set down the files, walked over, took the phone, and returned to his seat to continue working.

‘Ignore it.”

There was no need to answer. He had nothing to say to Jaxon Rivers.

“That’s Mia’s phone. You can’t just decide to ignore it for her. Aren’t you being a bit too overbearing?” Cole said

pointedly. “You have no relation to her. Helping is fine, but you can’t restrict her.”

Those words were particularly grating.

The right to help, but no right to interfere or make decisions for her. That kind of relationship was incredibly

distant.

Ethan’s brow furrowed so deeply it looked like it could crush a fly.

They didn’t hit you hard enough. Why didn’t they seal your mouth shut while they

Cole: “…”

Leo kept his head down, eyes on his toes, remaining silent.

After giving birth, Mia’s weight had dropped rapidly. Except for her belly, which was still swollen and hadn’t ecovered, her entire body looked thin and weak.

The doula prepared her postpartum meals and lactation meals every day, but her milk supply remained pitifully

Ow.

Miss Carter, don’t worry yet. Your chest is quite full; it doesn’t look like you’ll lack milk. When Mr. Hale gets back, let him help you out of bed for a short walk.”

Clara, the doula, was feeding the baby formula. Seeing the guilt on Mia’s face, she offered some comfort.

Out of bed?” Mia’s incision was throbbing painfully.

Yes. You need to get up and walk on the second day after a C-section to prevent adhesions.”

Clara looked at the little one in her arms. “I have to watch the baby, and I’m not as strong as a man. He can support ou when the pain hits.”

Mia hadn’t planned on a C-section, so she didn’t know the post-op procedures.

he only knew that her incision was currently aching, and having to get up and walk would definitely hurt even

nore!

She was terrified of pain.

Ethan had already heard about the walking requirement from Cole.

He returned to the ward, took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and walked to Mia’s bedside.

Cole said you need to walk a bit.”

As he finished speaking, he saw Mia’s face turn an uncontrollable shade of pale.
