The Ex-con Queen Strikes Back novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147

Adam looked all gloomy, which made Skylar laugh. She pinched his chubby cheeks. “Eat up before it gets cold.”

Adam had to set aside his worries and eat obediently.

After the meal, Adam went through another check–up. Everything had to be confirmed safe before he could be discharged.

They still needed to stay at the hospital for a while, waiting for the results.

At Adam’s request, Skylar held him in bed and watched cartoons with him.

Yosef sat on a nearby couch, working on his laptop.

Skylar watched the cartoon while thinking about what she could make or give Adam.

She had finally found her precious child, and all she could think of was how to make it up to him.

At the Campbell family’s household, Adam had everything he wanted, thanks to Yosef.

She thought hard but didn’t know what to give him.

Skylar rubbed her head.

This small motion didn’t escape Adam’s notice. He looked up, worried. “Mommy, do you have a headache?”

Touched by her son’s concern, Skylar’s heart warmed. “I’m okay.”

“But Mommy, you’re frowning. That means you’re hurting.” Adam turned to Yosef and shouted, “Daddy, come massage Mommy’s head!”

Skylar wanted to cover his mouth.

“Adam, I’m fine.” She tried to explain to him, but then a shadow loomed over her.

Yosef looked straight at her. “You’re not feeling well?”

Skylar shook her head. “I’m fine.”

“Mommy’s head hurts. She was frowning just now. Daddy, hurry and massage her head!” Adam raised his chubby hand and complained, “My hand is too small, and I don’t have enough strength. Only you can do it!”

Skylar didn’t want Yosef to touch her and quickly declined, “No need. I’ll do it myself. I’ll just use some acupuncture.”

As she spoke, she took out some silver needles and inserted them into pressure points on her head. “See? I’m fine no

Adam glanced at his useless father and sighed internally. His daddy was not only clueless but also too slow to act.

Yosef felt the resistance from Skylar and was vaguely uncomfortable.

He knew this was all his own doing, and he wasn’t expecting much. He just hoped she wouldn’t be so cold toward him,

But at the moment, that didn’t seem likely.

Yosef returned to the couch, picked up his laptop, and tried to work. But the more he looked, the more frustrated he became. He closed the laptop, opened his phone, and sent a message to his friend: [How do you make a girl forgive you quickly?] Leyton, who had been lying in bed playing games, saw the message pop up and immediately quit his game and switched to WhatsApp.

He rubbed his eyes to be sure, rereading the message several times.

Once he confirmed he wasn’t seeing things, he sent a question mark.

Cecil, coming in and out of the group chat, clicked on Yosef’s profile and checked his posts. Nothing unusual.

He asked in the group chat: [Yosef, what’s up? Did someone hack your account? It doesn’t seem like you were hacked.]

Volker pushed away the beautiful woman clinging to him, looking unusually excited. [What’s going on?]
