Chapter 637

Jerome nodded and said, "You already know who he's getting engaged to even without me saying

anything. Cindy has always been infatuated with Theo. Perhaps Theo has thought it through after

being entangled with her for so many years. Cindy is a responsibility that he can never escape. He's

not having a good time with other women, so he might as well fulfill Cindy's dream although there’s

no love between both of them."

After a momentary pause, he added, "Fred is a pretty nice person. Why don't you consider him?"

I pursed my lips, turned around, and continued walking forward.

It had already been three years. Three years was not a long time, but it was not a short period of

time either. However, plenty of things had changed during this period. I had started a new life, and

he started a new chapter of his life as well. There was nothing odd about his engagement.

We were no longer related to each other now. I should give him my blessings.

I ate my ice cream quietly in the silent night.

Suddenly, I felt like the path ahead would be the road I would take for the rest of my life.

As the sky darkened, Fred brought Tina home.

After returning home, I coaxed Munchkin to sleep.

Jerome nagged me for such a long time till I got so annoyed that I told him that I would consider his

suggestion. He then returned to his room to rest.

My abdomen started to hurt after I returned to the bedroom. After brushing my teeth and washing

up, I lay down on my bed and hugged my stomach as I trembled incessantly.

Ever since my miscarriage, my abdomen would hurt a lot every time I was on my period. I had

eaten ice cream just now, so it hurt even more.

I thought that it would stop hurting if I endured it till midnight as usual. However, I did not expect

myself to faint from the pain.

I was already in the hospital when I woke up. Jerome was standing beside the bed with an enraged

expression on his face. "I'm so pissed off at you."

I pursed my lips and said, "I didn’t expect..." I did not expect myself to faint after having ice cream.

It was way too embarrassing to tell anyone this.

Jerome was extremely speechless. "You had ice cream while you were on your period? Is this how

you've been looking after yourself?”

I sighed and said, "I'll pay more attention in the future.”

"Does it still hurt now?"

I shook my head.

He glared at me and said, "Munchkin was so frightened that he burst into tears. You're really

something else. You could’ve shouted that you were in pain since our rooms are just next to each

other. Why must you endure it on your own?”

I pursed my lips without saying anything.

I was used to enduring the pain on my own throughout the years. I would always endure everything

on my own, be it the emotional or physical pain that I felt.

"I'm fine. Don’t worry,” I said as I smiled at Jerome.

He did not say anything since he noticed that I was not listening to him at all. He turned around and

left the ward. Evidently, he was mad at me.

After Fred carried out the procedures, he returned to the ward and noticed that I was awake. He

walked over and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. If I hadn't bought you ice cream, you wouldn't have

suffered so much."

I shook my head and said, "I was craving a snack. I don't blame you.”

After a momentary pause, I chuckled and asked, "Is Tina at kindergarten?”

He nodded and said, "Munchkin is over there as well.

However, he must be extremely worried about you. I'll head over to the kindergarten to tell him that

you’re fine later."

"Thank you."

He smiled faintly and said, "You're being way too courteous. You should rest here for a few days.

You don’t need to work. You can go there directly once the dispatch notice arrives. It'd be easier for

you that way."
