| looked at Heidi. "I need your help."
Heidi nodded. "No problem."
| cast my eyes down and looked at my pale hands. " When can | be discharged from the hospital?"
Jerhurriedly said, "The doctor suggests you stay i n the hospital for a week for observation."
"No way." | lifted the blanket. "I still have many things to do."
"Wandy!" Jergrabbed my arm, a look of disagreement filled his face.
"You're not feeling well right now. The fact that you vomited blood means that this can't be taken lightly. It'll be
New Year's soon, why don't you stay in the hospital for stso we can celebrate New Year's together?"
| shook my head. "We can celebrate New Year's together but | can't stay in the hospital. I still have things to do
in Whaldorf City. I'll cback and celebrate with you after | finish my work there."
Jerfurrowed his brows. "Can't you just leave your matters aside for now and handle them after New Year's?

"It would be nice if | could just leave those matters aside until after New Year's." | sighed.
"The Schumans are holding a family banquet the night after tomorrow. They'll officially announce that I'm now
part of the Schumans, so | have to get back."
Jerwas stunned. "Schumans of Whaldorf City? Which Schuman?”
"Carlson Schuman."
Jerome's countenance changed as soon as he heard the name. “He’s Tyler's uncle."
It was not surprising to know that Jerwas aware o f this. He cfrom a distinguished family too and was
able to, intentionally or unintentionally, hear about all sorts of information.
| nodded. "There are many things that I'll tell you when the tis right. | need to go back to Whaldorf City
tomorrow.”
Jerdid not persuadeanymore this time.
Xander bought food back but I did not have the appetite to eat. | told them to go ahead and said that | would
only eat when | was hungry.
| glanced at my phone and then at Jerwho was currently eating. "What did you call that child before this?"
Jerwas probably reminded of something amusing and chuckled before saying, "Nothing.
Cecilia wanted you to nthe child. The child will also take on your last name."
| felt a pang in my heart and covered my chest, saying, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
"A boy."
| lowered my head and thought about it. "Let's call him Nimue Lane."
It was in remembrance of the warmest and gentlest Cecilia in this world. Both this child and | would spend our
whole lives remembering her.
Jerdid not have an opinion about that.
"You can give him a nickname," | looked at him and said with a smile.
Jerthought about it and his eyes suddenly lit up." Let's call him ‘Munchkin’."
"That's so old-fashioned,” Heidi criticized.

chubby right now, so I think it's especially appropriate to call him that."
Nicknames were supposed to be easy to remember. | nodded with a smile. "Let's call him ‘Munchkin’ then. But
I'm sure he won't like this nicknwhen he grows a little bigger."
Jersnorted. "How can he not like it when | gave him that nickname?"
I smiled but said no more.
| lay back down on the bed and felt a wave of drowsiness hit me. | closed my eyes and fell asleep in no tat
all.
When | woke up in the evening, Jerand Xander had already gone back. After all, they still needed to take
care of the child.
Heidi was lying on another hospital bed, swiping her phone. When she noticed that | was awake, she got up to
poura glass of water. "Drink some.”
"Thanks." | smiled. "Thanks for tellingthe truth, and thanks for staying back to take care of me."
"You don't have to thank me. This is what I should do."
She helpedsit up after saying that.
