The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 528

"Actually, it's me."

The other end of the line went dead silent, followed by the sound of heavy breathing.

"Why are you with my son!"

"He…"

"Where did you take him?"

"I…"

"What the hell are you trying to do?"

"Can you please let me finish a sentence?"

His voice, though strained with effort to remain controlled, erupted with fury through the phone.

"You were the one who said we wouldn't interfere in each other's lives. What are you doing now!"

"I wasn't trying to interfere. It's just… Julian wanted me to go with him to a kindergarten event, and I… I couldn't say no. But I promise I didn't say anything I shouldn't have, and I'll continue to stay away from your lives."

"Where are you now? I'm sending someone to pick Julian up."

"We're in a car on the way back to the city. Julian… has a fever."

"Penelope!"

"I'm taking him to the hospital right now. I… I'm sorry."

"Don't go near Julian again. Or I won't be so courteous next time!"

With that, he hung up.

Penelope's heart pounded in her chest, and she gasped for air. Ever since she had known Theodore, he had never spoken to her in that tone. For the first time, he made her feel afraid.

The car stopped at the hospital. Just as she got out with Julian in her arms, the Stapleton family's housekeeper arrived and had the accompanying maid take Julian from her.

Penelope tried to follow them inside, but the housekeeper blocked her path.

The housekeeper was a woman in her forties who, of course, knew who Penelope was.
