Not His Type Of Mate
Chapter 153

Lord Maddison's POV

"The father is here," Nora's words made my eyes widen, and I was shocked. I had always thought the baby could be mine, but it never dawned on me that he could really be mine. Hearing her say that the father was among us made me nervous, and I couldn't wait for her to turn to me. I lowered my eyes to look at her face, and I saw her turn to Leo. Leo? My heart started racing; I was scared and troubled. Could the boy be Leo's? Could Leo be the father?

I stared at the two of them without saying a word. Well, even if I wanted to, I couldn't say a word anyway because I was just too scared. If the baby was Leo's, then it meant that she would go to him, and they would get married. What would become of me then? I didn't want to think about it, but my heart kept racing. I was expecting her to talk when she turned to face me. "Does she want to announce to me that the father is Leo? She shouldn't... she shouldn't say it. She will be breaking my heart that way," I said to Darin, who didn't say a word in response.

"Maddison," Nora called, and I looked at her. I opened my mouth to respond, but no words were coming out. All I wanted was for her not to tell me that the boy was Leo's. I feared I wouldn't be able to take it, and it would break me down for real. "Maddison, Julius is yours. He is your son," she mumbled. My eyes twitched. I was stunned, I was bewildered, I couldn't think straight, and I knew I had heard wrong. She wouldn't have said that now, would she? I looked at her and shook my head. I needed to calm my overracing heart. "What... What did you say?" I asked, and she sighed. "Julius is your son, Maddison. You are his father," she said again, and I gasped. I staggered backward and only stopped myself after I took a few feet away from her. I covered my mouth with my hand, and I couldn't wrap my head around my thoughts. My free hand ran through my hair as I returned my gaze to her. "How? How is that possible?" I asked her, with disbelief in my eyes. "How is that possible? How come?" I kept asking. Tears rolled down her face, and she shook her head. "Now is not the time for this, please. You can listen to the explanation later, but right now, we need to save our baby. Go in there and test if your bone marrow matches with his, please," she pleaded, but I still was eager to know more. I wasn't able to think of anything else apart from what she said to me earlier. I was about to ask her how again when the doctor moved forward. "Please come with me. We can't waste any more time, or we will be putting the patient in danger," the doctor said, and I nodded. I should go and do what is necessary first and ask her questions later. I was still surprised and found it hard to believe, but I followed the doctor anyway, and he led me to the room he took Nora to earlier. They carried out the test and told me to return to my spot to wait for the result, which I did. I couldn't wait to ask her questions anyway, so I quickly did as told, while also hoping that my bone marrow would match with the boy. I walked toward them and saw Nora crying, while Maxwell was consoling her. "Will you explain to me now? I feel like I'm losing my mind. How can this be real?" I asked her, and that was exactly how I felt at that moment. Enjoying the book? Don't forget to visit FindNovel.net for the full experience. You won't find the next complete chapter anywhere else. She turned to look at me, and she sucked in a deep breath. "After the test we conducted then, I had to go back because I felt some pains in my belly, and that was when..." She stopped and wiped the tears on her face with the back of her hand, but more fell through. "I found out that the result that was first given to us wasn't real. The child was still alive and well in my belly. I don't know how it happened, but I gave birth to him 8 months after I left you," she explained, and it was like my time had stopped.

I felt my heart clench, and tears trickled down my eyes. My legs kept moving backward without my consent, and I couldn't help but shake my head in disbelief. "No... Why? Why didn't you tell me? Why did you keep it all to yourself? Why didn't you let me know?" I asked with a pained voice, as more tears rolled down my eyes. "How could you hide my son away from me? How could you do this to me, Nora? Because of your hate and anger toward me! Because you hate me, you made me lose four years of my son's life. Because of the mistake I made... Fine... I understand that you don't want to be with me anymore after that mistake, but how could you punish that little child so much? How could you do this to us, Nora?" I asked, my emotions were getting out of my control, and even my voice seemed to be cracking. I wanted to yell to the sky, transform and run to a faraway place where I could cry my heart out, as it was just too painful for me.

Leo walked over to me and made a concerned face. "You need to calm down, Maddison. You should..." I cut him off with a wave of my hand. "Stop! Just stop! Don't tell me to calm down. Will you tell me you didn't know about this? I'm sure you did and you didn't tell me. I was in pain for the past four years, wallowing in regret, cursing myself for killing my child due to my stupidity. Oh, how much I had cursed and hated myself thinking the child is dead when he is actually alive and living well! How could you two do this to me? What have I done so bad to deserve this much hatred?" I asked, tears still rolling down my eyes.

Leo was about to talk when the doctor walked over to us and bowed a little. "Congratulations. The bone marrow matches, and we can go on with the operation now. Shall we do that right away?" The doctor announced, and I was elated. I felt overjoyed, and I closed my eyes for some seconds to steady my emotions before I opened them back. "Can I ask you a question, Doctor?" I asked the doctor who nodded his head. "Of course. You can ask me any question." He replied. He seemed to be in a good mood too after getting a donor for his patient. "I'm a healer. So I'm hoping I can heal him by myself after the surgery. I don't want him to go through pain and all. I would like to heal the cut myself after you've placed the bone marrow in him. Is that okay?" I asked, hoping they would agree. I didn't want to see my son going through discomfort.

"Sure. We will let you do that," the doctor assured me, and I nodded. "Come with me, please," he said, and I nodded. I turned to look at Nora, who was staring at me with teary eyes, and Leo, who seemed to feel guilty. Maxwell kept patting Nora's shoulder, and I returned my attention to the doctor. "Let's go," I said to him, and with that, we both left for the surgery.

A few hours later, I came out of the surgery room, feeling a little exhausted. Nora rushed to me with a panic-stricken face. "How was the surgery? Was it successful?" she asked, but I was in no mood to reply to her. I walked past her and sat down on a seat beside Leo. I stayed quiet like that for a few more minutes, and the doctors came out. I raised my head to look at them and saw Nora rushing to them. "How was it? How is my son? Is he okay?" she asked, her voice laced with genuine concern, and I grunted.

The doctor smiled at her. "Yes, Madam. Your son is fine, and the surgery was successful. He is asleep right now, but he should be okay by the time he wakes up, and he should be discharged in a few days too. He sustained no injury or scar because his wound was completely healed by his father. So, everything is fine," the doctor explained, and I sighed in relief. "Thank you, Doctor. Thank you so much," Nora kept muttering as the doctor bowed and left.

We all returned to our seats, waiting for Julius to wake up while we were all in deep thought. Everyone had one thing or the other to think about, and we were all busy with it. I was still angry, too. A nurse walked over and bowed. "He is awake now. You can go and see him," she announced, and we all rushed toward the room to see Julius. He was lying in bed, but he turned to face us the moment he noticed our presence.

"Mum," he called, and Nora ran to him. "How are you? Are you okay?" she asked, and he nodded. I also walked toward him with tears in my eyes. "Are you okay?" I asked, and he nodded. "Yes, Sir," he replied, but I was displeased. "Don't call me 'Sir,' call me 'Daddy,' okay?" I said to him with a pained voice.
