Ex-Husband’s Regret: Barren Mommy Has Quadruplets

Chapter 181 Don’t Get Too Involved 

When Jason spoke, both Alta and her son glanced at him.

Lucas thought to himself, “I’m actually quite good at this!”

Back when they were abroad, Alta would get so busy that she often forgot about time. She also couldn’t spare any attention for the two little ones.

Lyla, being mischievous and would only eat when Lucas fed him.

But Alta couldn’t say this out loud.

Seeing the food being brought to her mouth by the man, Alta felt uneasy. She declined and turned her head, saying, “I can manage on my own.”

Since the two of them were no longer in a relationship, this act of feeding each other seemed too intimate.

She freed one hand and attempted to take the fork from him.

However, Jason did not grant her wish.

Not only did he dodge her, but he also brought the food from the fork to her mouth. He commanded firmly, “Open your mouth.”

His attitude was forceful and domineering. Like to say that if she didn’t eat, he would continue feeding her like this.

Alta felt a bit overwhelmed. How come she didn’t know before that this man had such a stubborn personality?

Helplessly, Alta had no choice but to open her mouth. The bite of food from the fork was quickly placed into her mouth.

The atmosphere during the meal became awkward.

Eaton, who was sitting next to them, couldn’t help but think that his eyes were being blinded by this scene.

At the same time, he also felt that this was what a harmonious family of four should be like.

After finishing dinner, Eaton took away the lunchbox.

Alta continued to hold Lyla, motionless, sitting on the sofa.

“Put the child in bed and rest for a while,” Jason said softly.

Alta shook her head and said, “It’s alright.”

If Lyla woke up and saw that Alta wasn’t there, she would be unhappy.

“Then let me hold her, and you can go back first,” Jason meant that he didn’t want to delay her work.

After all, besides being with Hill Group, Alta was still Aletta’s assistant.

Alta hesitated for a moment, unwilling to let go. At the moment, Jason had already leaned over and took the child into his own hands.

However, when he held the child, Lyla seemed to have a premonition. She tightly clutched Alta’s clothes and refused to let go.

Alta knew she didn’t feel secure, and her heart softened. She hugged her tightly and said, “I’ll hold her.”

Jason had no choice but to turn around and shift his gaze to his son.

“I’ll have Eaton take you back,” he said.

Lucas, who was called out, quickly shook his head and refused. He said, “I’m not going back. I’m worried about Lyla, so I’ll stay here.”

As he spoke, he climbed onto the sofa with his little leg. He sat next to Alta and read a book obediently.

Seeing him like this, Jason didn’t stop him.

However, around nine o’clock in the evening, Lyla’s body temperature showed signs of rising. She was very uncomfortable and whimpered in her mother’s arms.

Alta touched her forehead and frowned. She said, “The child has a fever again.”

“I’ll call the doctor,” Jason said.

He immediately got up from the sofa and was about to rush out of the ward.

“You let them bring some alcohol to cool the child’s body, that should be enough,” Alta called out.

Seeing Jason’s puzzled expression, she explained, “The child is still young and shouldn’t have continuous IV drips. When the child has a fever, even if the doctors come, this is what they do.”

Hearing Alta’s explanation, Jason nodded. He instructed Eaton to fetch the alcohol and the necessary items, while he went to prepare hot water.

Alta put Lyla on the bed and then took the towel handed to her by Jason. With skilled and gentle movements, she carefully wiped the child’s body.

She did everything herself. Jason had no place to intervene, so he stood by and watched her.

Unknowingly, he had a strange feeling that this woman was particularly familiar with his daughter.

Lost in thought, Jason realized that Alta had already finished wiping the child’s body and had dressed her.

Knock, knock-

At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the ward door. Without hesitation, Alta went out to open it.

Standing outside was Annie, who had come to deliver fever- reducing medicine for Alta.

Alta had sent her a message at night because she was worried about the child’s condition.

After seeing Annie off, Alta returned to the ward.

Jason saw the things she was holding in her hands and asked, “What is that?”

“A fever-reducing medicine innovated by Aletta. I didn’t have it with me when I came, so I had someone bring it over.”

Alta said, “Its effectiveness is milder and better than those on the market.”

Jason nodded after listening and didn’t ask anything further.

He had also used Aletta’s medicine before. He knew its effects better than anyone else.

Alta poured water and walked to the bedside with the medicine. She called out, “Ly…”

Just as she was about to speak, she choked and almost called out the wrong name. She quickly corrected herself and said, “Nina, it’s time to take your medicine.”

Lyla was awakened and opened her eyes. When she saw Alta, she sleepily called out, “Mommy.”

Alta’s heart skipped a beat from the shock of hearing that. She didn’t dare to turn around and look at Jason, pretending not to have heard.

Jason’s actions also slowed down, clearly affected by his daughter’s words.

Lucas, being quick-witted, immediately jumped off the sofa and ran to Lyla’s side. He said, “Is Nina still half-asleep? This is Alta, not mommy.”

But Lyla was currently feeling unwell, and she couldn’t think about such things. She nuzzled against Alta’s body with her little head and murmured softly, “Uncomfortable…”

Alta tenderly touched her face, lowering her voice to soothe her. She said, “Be good, once you take the medicine, you won’t feel uncomfortable anymore.”

“Mm…”

Lyla was incredibly well-behaved. She sat up on her own without needing to be carried by her mother.

When Alta fed her the medicine, she cooperatively drank a lot of water as well.

Jason watched this scene, his heart trembling with complex emotions.

His daughter had spoken two sentences in a row, and both times it was directed at Alta…

After taking the medicine, Lyla quickly fell asleep again.

It was getting late, and Lucas couldn’t help but yawn.

“Feeling sleepy?” Alta lowered her head and asked.

Rubbing his eyes, Lucas nodded.

“Then go to bed and sleep with Lyla.”

As Alta spoke, she bent down and picked up the child to place him on the bed. She took off his shoes and covered him with a small blanket.

Every movement was so natural, like she had practiced it hundreds of times.

Lucas shyly pulled the blanket, saying, “Thank you, Alta.”

He blinked at Alta, secretly reminding his mother not to get too involved, or her secret would be revealed.

Alta also belatedly realized that she was not alone in the ward. Her movements stiffened for a moment, but quickly returned. She hurriedly said, “No need to thank me.”

Jason stood on the side and his gaze became deep.

He remembered the past when Gail tried to interact with the children, but they resisted in various ways.

Despite their resistance to him finding them a mother, everything was so natural and smooth with Alta.

He also thought about how Alta took care of the children so thoughtfully today…

Jason couldn’t help but wonder, “Would someone like her really abandon her children in the past? Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Was there some misunderstanding about her back then?”

And… she seemed genuinely unaware of the existence of the children, so what was going on?
