My Child and I Married a Billionaire novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Fainted from Hunger

He was dizzy with hunger, and of all days, he’d forgotten to bring money. Amina’s phone wasn’t linked to any bank cards; there wasn’t a single cent on it.

By nine in the morning, Zeke Walton felt like he was going to pass out from hunger...

Ever since Gwen Morgan had aggressively insisted on working at the Vaughn Group, Ryan had been on high alert regarding Cecelia Archer’s presence.

Today, he had specifically arranged to meet Cecelia Archer in Damien Vaughn’s car precisely to avoid Gwen Morgan.

The car was parked on the side of the road. Cecelia Archer got in, and Ryan gave her a flawless explanation.

"My apologies, President Linden. President Vaughn’s schedule is incredibly full these next two days. We know you’re busy too, and thought it would be a waste of time for you to go back and forth to the office. That’s why we arranged to meet you on the road. We’ll have to trouble you to follow our car for a little while. Thank you for your patience."

For Damien Vaughn to find time in his packed schedule to see her was an honor for Cecelia Archer. Ryan was being far too polite.

"Not at all, Ryan, you’re being too kind. Reporting to President Vaughn is part of my job. Shall we get started then?"

As she spoke, she pretended not to know him well, giving Damien Vaughn a polite nod before opening the file in her hands.

Just as Ryan was about to start the car, Cecelia Archer remembered something important.

"I’m sorry, please wait a moment. I left my phone in my car."

The car remained stationary. Cecelia Archer quickly opened the door and ran out.

Just as she was about to go back to her own car to get her phone, a wobbly electric scooter suddenly zoomed over and headed straight for her.

Thankfully, Cecelia Archer had quick reflexes, dodging out of the way with a swift movement.

Inside the car, both Ryan and Damien Vaughn frowned as they watched the scene unfold.

Ryan hurriedly rolled down the window. "Miss Linden!"

"I’m fine, I’m fine." Cecelia Archer waved her hand at him.

This delivery guy on the electric scooter was quite a sight. He didn’t manage to knock her down, but with all his wobbling, he ended up knocking himself over instead. Now Cecelia Archer had to go back and help him up.

"What were you doing, riding so carelessly? How bad was the fall? Are you okay? Can you get up?"

Zeke Walton was dizzy from hunger and his limbs felt weak. As Cecelia Archer lifted his head and got a look at his face, she gasped.

"Zeke Walton?"

Even though he was wearing a helmet and a delivery driver’s uniform, Cecelia Archer recognized him at a glance.

"Why are you working as a delivery driver? What are you..."

She sat right down on the ground, letting Zeke Walton lean against her as she began to check his arms and legs.

"Did you hurt yourself anywhere? Why do you look so pale? Don’t scare me."

Inside the car, Damien Vaughn’s frown deepened.

’I can’t believe I’m running into Zeke Walton here. How did he let himself get into this state?’

When Ryan heard Cecelia Archer call out Zeke Walton’s name, he was about to get out and help, but Damien Vaughn stopped him.

"Don’t move."

Ryan thought he hadn’t heard who the person on the ground was. "That’s Zeke Walton... Mr. Walton, President Vaughn..."

"I know. I said don’t move, so don’t move."

Leaning against Cecelia Archer’s warm, comfortable chest, Zeke Walton’s light-headedness eased a little.

The voice by his ear sounded very familiar. Although he really just wanted to fall asleep right there, he forced his eyelids open.

Cecelia Archer’s face swam before his eyes. "Cecelia Archer? Is that you?"

"It’s me, it’s me. What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Does it hurt anywhere? I’ll take you to the hospital."
