Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband? novel Chapter 61

That evening, Lysander received a call and rushed back home.

Harper was soothing Adrian, who was crying inconsolably. As soon as Lysander strode into the house, Harper sighed in relief and quickly updated him about Mila's condition.

"Sir, the doctor has seen her. Madam fainted from exhaustion and palpitations. She woke up once, took her medication, and fell back asleep."

"Alright."

Lysander turned his attention to Adrian.

The moment he entered, Adrian, who had been crying, immediately quieted down, lowering his head in guilt and avoiding eye contact.

"Come to the study."

Lysander spoke calmly as he started walking upstairs.

"But, young master…" Harper began, a hint of concern in her voice.

Adrian didn't utter a word. He pulled away from Harper's grasp and silently followed his father, tears streaming down his small face.

Lysander stopped first at the master bedroom.

Mila lay quietly on the bed, her face pale, and her brow furrowed in restless sleep. He watched her for a moment before leaving.

...

In the study.

Father and son, one seated, the other standing.

In his elegant suit, Lysander leaned back in his mahogany chair, one hand resting lightly on the armrest, his long fingers tapping gently.

His face was emotionless, and he spoke no words, yet an invisible pressure filled the room.

It wasn't long before Adrian couldn't hold back any longer.

"Dad, it was Mom who ignored me first. I just gave her a little push. How was I supposed to know she was so tired? I got really scared."

Once the initial panic subsided, and realizing that his mom wasn't seriously hurt, Adrian felt a surge of injustice. His father's stern demeanor only added to his sense of grievance.

He felt he hadn't done anything wrong!
