Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband? novel Chapter 143

Mila awoke to find an unexpected presence nestled beside her under the covers. A quick glance confirmed it was the child she had rescued, and she decided to lie still, not wanting to disturb him.

Eugene, standing nearby, shot a glance at the child in Mila's arms and muttered through clenched teeth, "This little rascal woke up soon after being admitted to the hospital. Nothing anyone said could calm him. The moment we tried to move him away from you, he kicked up a fuss, crying and struggling. We were worried he might tear his stitches, so we had no choice but to let him stay with you."

Mila understood the situation. The child was so young and had gone through such a traumatic experience. The only sense of security he had left was with her, the person who had saved him.

"But what about his parents? Haven't they been found yet?" Mila inquired.

Eugene shook his head. "Not yet. The police are still investigating and trying to contact them."

Mila nodded. Just speaking those few words left her feeling light-headed, a dizzy pain throbbing in her head.

Eugene moved closer, his warm fingers pressing gently on her temples, massaging softly. "The doctor said it was lucky your head wound started healing. Otherwise, the cold air could have caused a nasty infection, and you would have been in real trouble!"

Feeling a bit guilty, Mila quickly agreed with him.

"By the way, you haven't told Aunt Mary, have you?" Mila asked.

Eugene shook his head, "Not yet. We told her we were going to be out of town for a few days. She doesn't know about any of this."

"Good, let's keep it that way for now. No need to worry her unnecessarily," Mila said, relieved.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed from the hallway. Both Mila and Eugene looked towards the door, expecting Miranda, who had gone to handle the hospital paperwork, to return. But when the door swung open, they were both taken aback.
