Pregnant With Ex's Babies novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161 Don’t be afraid, I’ll get you out of here.

Old Mr. Hodges vented his frustrations with a mix of words and curses, and after getting it all out, he felt

much better.

Especially after understanding Hugo’s intentions, the old man left quite satisfied.

Though he had scolded him, he knew his grandson had a good head on his shoulders. This kid had his

ways, and now, he was just waiting for Hugo to bring Scarlett home so he could enjoy family life.

Just before leaving, Mr. Hodges suddenly remembered something and turned back to Hugo. “Oh, I forgot

to tell you, Yale’s mother is back from abroad. She’s arriving today.”

Hugo squinted, unable to resist sizing him up. “Grandpa, why do I feel like you’re more concerned than I

am?”

Mr. Hodges‘ face turned stern. “You think I’m doing this for you? I’m worried about Scarlett getting hurt!”

With that, he gave Hugo a sharp look, flicked his sleeve, and walked out.

Henry, standing at the door, quickly saw him out. “Take care, Chairman Hodges.”

“Keep an eye on him. If anything else happens, I’ll hold you accountable!” Mr. Hodges said coldly.

“Yes, sir!” Henry lowered his head even further.

Once the old man left, Henry finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned to Hugo, about to say something, but noticed Hugo’s gaze was already fixed on him.

The dark gaze made Henry shiver.

He pretended to cough, “Boss, um, I’ll go grab you some breakfast!”

“Henry!” Hugo’s cool voice carried a hint of amusement.

Henry stopped in his tracks, his back to Hugo, wearing a sour expression.

But when he turned to face Hugo, his expression shifted to one of flattery.

“Boss, anything else?”

That smile made Henry tremble even more.

He took a small step forward.

Hugo narrowed his eyes, his voice growing colder, “Do you think I can eat you?”

While he couldn’t literally eat him, the consequences could be worse than that.

Reluctantly, Henry took another step closer.

Hugo eyed him, a thin cold smile playing on his lips, “How did I end up at the hospital yesterday?”

“Heh, heh… You drank too much yesterday, so I took you to the hospital!”

“How did you get to the hospital?”

“Uh… well…” Henry was on the verge of tears. “We kind of carried you here…”

Hugo glanced at him, cracking his neck. Henry knew this wasn’t good, and his mind raced for something

to say.

“Boss, you wouldn’t believe it, but yesterday Miss Sweet… uh, I mean, Miss Fourth was really worried about

you!” Henry blurted out.

Hugo paused, looking at him. “Fourth?”

“Yeah, she messaged me yesterday, super worried about you!” Henry explained.

“How did she find out?” Hugo asked, narrowing his eyes.

Henry quickly pulled out his phone and found the video from yesterday, handing it over to Hugo. “Someone posted this video online, and Miss Fourth recognized you right away. She tried calling you, but couldn’t get through, so she reached out to me…”

Hugo glanced at the video, frowning slightly.

“And Chairman Hodges, he recognized you from the video too… It wasn’t me!” Henry added, looking

genuinely upset.

Whether he felt wronged or not didn’t matter.

Hugo was more concerned about whether Scarlett knew, since Fourth had found out.

Had she seen the video too?

“Besides Fourth, has anyone else contacted you?” Hugo turned to ask him.

Henry knew that “anyone else” meant Scarlett.

After thinking for a moment, he honestly shook his head. “Uh, no one else…”

Hugo tossed his phone to him, feeling suddenly irritated.

That woman, she really had no conscience!

Seeing Hugo’s mood sour, Henry quickly spoke up, “Even though no one else did, when Miss Fourth asked

me yesterday, I felt like the former boss lady was there too…”

Hugo immediately turned his head. “Are you serious?”

“Uh, whether it’s true or not… I can’t be sure, it’s just a feeling!” Henry nodded earnestly, emphasizing his

gut feeling.

Hugo looked at him, his dark eyes narrowing, and a faint, cold smile played on his lips.

“Henry, I’ve noticed you’re getting bolder these days…”

Feeling the air suddenly grow thin around him, Henry glanced at Hugo.

“Do you think I’m a three–year–old?” Hugo asked.

“N–no, of course not…”

“You still haven’t explained what happened yesterday,” Hugo said, his voice calm yet piercing.

“Yesterday, yesterday…” Henry stammered, his mind racing as he took shaky steps backward. Finally, he

blurted out, “Boss, it’s getting late. I’ll go get you breakfast and be right back!” With that, he turned and

dashed away.

Sometimes, running away is the best strategy.

Once he was far enough to be sure he wouldn’t be followed, Henry finally stopped.

He panted heavily, thinking, “Oh my gosh, that was terrifying!”

Why did he have to act so impulsively yesterday? Wouldn’t it have been better to just keep things smooth?

Henry wore a bitter expression, regretting his actions deeply.

The thought of having to face Hugo again made him want to faint on the spot!

That night.

In a small house, flames roared all around.

A little girl, about seven or eight years old, pushed open the door. She was about to call out, but froze

when she saw the person lying on the ground.

She rushed over to them, shaking their bodies.

“Dad, Mom!”

But the only response she got was the coldness of their bodies.

She froze, understanding what that meant, and her body slumped as if all hope had drained away.

The fire grew larger, and voices could be heard outside, even someone calling her name, urging her to

leave. Yet she seemed oblivious, kneeling before her parents, silently shedding tears.

The flames threatened to engulf everything.

Gradually, the little girl’s consciousness began to fade, and she collapsed beside her parents.

Before she lost consciousness, a figure appeared in her vision.

“Little girl!” someone shouted.

A young boy rushed in, coming directly to her side.

“Scarlett, don’t be afraid, I’ll get you out of here!” he said, struggling to carry her on his back and drag her

outside.

Her awareness was weak, her eyes fluttering open and closed as she looked at the boy carrying her. His

face was flushed from the effort.

“Hold on, I’ll get you out!” he assured.

But just as they were nearing the door, a cabinet suddenly toppled over, crashing towards them…

Scarlett Adler suddenly opened her eyes.

Staring at the ceiling, her heart pounded rapidly.

It was unclear how much time had passed before she gradually returned from the dream.

Rather than a dream, it was more like a memory of what she had experienced as a child.

Yet, it had been a long time since she had dreamed of it. In this moment, an indescribable sadness welled

up in her heart.
