Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 341

Chad only unbuttoned his shirt and headed for the shower after the voices at the door had died off.

The following day, Chad planned to visit the patient at nine o'clock in the morning, but ended up leaving

at ten because he was waiting for Molly.

At nine o'clock, Coleen pointed at her just-awakened daughter and said to her son, "Go by yourself.

She still needs a while to get ready. Look at her, she hasn't even washed her face, combed her hair, or

changed her clothes. No point in waiting for her."

Chad stood in the living room, hands on hips, wordlessly urging Molly to get a move on with a poker

face.

As they got into the car, her stomach started to rumble again.

Molly and Chad exchanged a glance. She said somewhat sheepishly, "Chad, I didn't expect there

would be so many things to do before going out."

Chad replied, "If you had gotten up earlier, not only could we have left earlier, you could have had

breakfast."

He drove off, paying no mind to Molly's grumbling stomach.

Molly reached for the water bottle in the car and was about to have a drink.

Chad, while keeping an eye on the road, caught her wrist with his right hand, "Put it down, the water is

cold."

Molly said, "But I'm hungry."

Chad pulled up in front of a dessert shop, "Go buy whatever you want to eat."

Molly bolted out of the car as soon as the door was open.

In no time, she came strolling out of the store with a sandwich and a bottle of milk in hand.

But with a sandwich in one hand and milk in the other, she had no hands left to open the car door.

She cast a helpless glance at Chad, who was out of patience, but he got out of the car, opened the

door for her, and helped her in.

He swore to himself that he would never take Molly out with him again if there was a next time.

If he hadn't been worried about her getting another invitation from some boy, Chad wouldn't have

waited for her this morning.

By the time they arrived at the hospital, Molly had finished her breakfast. She opened the sun visor on

the passenger seat and started touching up her makeup in the mirror before getting out of the car.

Chad glanced at his watch. Hmm, almost eleven.

He bit back his anger, wanting to explode but holding it in.

Finally, Molly, carrying a box of gifts, and Chad, locking the car, headed upstairs. Molly found an

excuse, "Chad, I think our timing is just right. If we had arrived earlier, the doctor would still be doing

rounds, and the nurses would be busy treating the children. We would have been in the way. And

besides, we wouldn't have anywhere to go after the visit. Now's the perfect time, it's not lunchtime yet,

and the doctors and nurses aren't busy. Bob and his wife are free too. We can visit the kid, wait a bit,

and then you can take me for a big meal."

Chad looked at Molly's ingratiating face, biting back his anger. This was all his own doing. He shouldn't

have called her out in the first place.

Chad asked, "Which restaurant do you want to go to for the big meal?"

"The new seafood buffet place. It's not expensive, just 100 bucks per person."

Chad was at a loss for words.

When they arrived at the hospital, they inquired about the child's room from the nurses and went to visit

the child together.

On the way to the hospital, Chad told Molly, "Bob's son, Klein, was born just before Christmas. I've

even covered for Bob at work when his child was about to be born."

Upon hearing this, Molly understood right away. She could remember whatever Chad mentioned.

The child was not even half a year old, and Chad took Molly to the ward.

Seeing their superior arrive, Bob immediately stood up, both surprised and delighted, "Captain, what

brings you here?"

Chad and Molly put down the gifts. Molly glanced at the sleeping little baby. She wondered if her

nephew would look like this when he was born.

Chad said, "I brought Molly to see the kid."

Molly walked over to Bob's wife. She lowered her voice, asking gently, "Ma'am, how is Klein doing?"

Bob's wife looked at her son on the bed, heartbroken, "He just had blood drawn this morning. He's still

young, they need to find out what's wrong."

Molly went over, her hand lightly touching the child on the bed. Seeing the needle on the child's head,

she felt as if her heart was aching.

"Where's your elder child?" Molly asked.

Bob's wife answered, "He's at home. His grandma is taking care of him. Molly, you guys really didn't

have to come."

Molly shook her head, "We had to come. My brother has been wanting to come since he found out

yesterday. We only came this late because he was worried you guys would be too busy."

Chad kept quiet.

After a while, the child on the bed woke up. Bob's wife picked him up, pointing to the side of the bed,

"Molly, there aren't enough chairs in the hospital. You can sit on the bed."

Molly, without any hesitation, sat on the bed. She looked at Klein, and his crying gradually ceased.

Suddenly, she wanted to hold the child. "Ma'am, can I hold him? I've never held a child before."

Her nephew was due in a few months, she didn’t know how to hold a child by then.

Chad watched her, saying, "Don't hold him. Be careful or you will drop him." Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Molly awkwardly withdrew her hand, her eyes filled with longing to hold the child.

Bob's wife saw this and smiled, "Girls are born with maternal instincts. Holding a baby comes naturally.

You won't drop him."

She rose to her feet holding the just-asleep infant, "Molly, here, try holding him."

Molly immediately stretched out her hands, a move that had Chad's heart in his throat.

He quickly moved to Molly's side, hands flailing, ready to catch.

Molly held the soft infant, cradling him in her arms, feeling his softness. Her heart softened at that

moment too. "Wow, he's really cute."

Chad's hand was still ready to catch below, "You've held him. Now put him back."

Molly gently patted the child's back, looking up at Chad with a smile in her eyes, "Chad, he's really

adorable. I want one too."

Chad said, "You've held him. Now put him back on the bed so he can sleep."

Molly hesitated, then put Klein back on the bed and stood up, saying, "I'm going to the bathroom."

She walked out of the room, her back to Chad. He watched her leave, then turned his attention back to

Bob and his wife.

"Captain, thank you for coming. We didn't expect you to."

Chad nodded, "How could I not come? After all, we're like family."

Bob smiled, "Yes, we are. Thank you, Captain."

Chad looked at the sleeping child and said, "Take good care of him. He needs you."

Bob nodded, "I will, Captain."

Chad looked at the child one last time before he left the room. He found Molly waiting for him outside

the door.

She asked, "Chad, are we going now?"

Chad nodded, "Yeah, let's go."

They walked out of the hospital, the morning sun shining down on them. As they walked to the car,

Chad turned to Molly, "You did well today."

Molly smiled, "Thank you, Chad."

As they drove off, Chad thought to himself, "Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea to bring Molly after all."

But Molly wasn't having it. She stood face to face with Chad, the harsh sun beaming down through the

window. The sunlight illuminated Molly, casting a golden glow on her hair and enveloping her entire

body. The sunlit Molly exuded a gentle aura. She looked down at her child and laughed, then looked up

at Chad and laughed again.

Chad couldn't help but catch her happy bug and broke into a smile too.

The sunlight gleamed in the child's eyes. Klein shook his head in Molly's arms, then slowly blinked. His

lips curled downwards, as though he was about to burst into tears.

Molly immediately handed the child back to his mommy.

"I've got this baby holding thing down. I'm even better at it than Mia," Molly told Chad.

When it was time for lunch, Bob and his wife offered to treat the couple to a meal.

Chad outright turned them down. Holding Molly's wrist, he told Bob, "We got lunch ready at home. You

stick around and help look after the kid, I'm taking Molly home."
