Not long after that, Marilyn arrived at the doctor's office.

Dr. Walter asked her methodically, "What's the child's name?

"Tiger!"

The doctor raised his head and asked with a puzzled look on his face. "The child has no surname?"

Marilyn was first taken aback, then she explained. 'The child doesn't have a formal personal name. The people in the fishing village are named Tom, Dick, Harry and so on. They will only have a formal name when they grow up."

"What's the child's father's surname?"

Marilyn stuttered, "Ben."

"The child's father doesn't have a formal name too?" The doctor eyed her suspiciously.

Marilyn answered vaguely, "Mm."

"What about the child's birthday?"

Marilyn knew the answer to that question this time and blurted out, "26th July 2017."

Behind the partition wall, when Angeline heard the

child's date of birth, her clenched fists gradually loosened as a hint of delight shot out of her eyes.

Tiger was not Jaybie's son.

After learning that Jaybie and Marilyn did not have a child together, Angeline felt like her heart was full of sunshine and rainbows.

When she finally recovered from her excitement, she realized that Marilyn had already left at some point.

Angeline walked out of the partitioned area and gave Dr. Walter a thumbs up. "Well done."

In the evening, Tiger's fever went down and he had also regained consciousness.

Jay breathed a sigh of relief.

He said to Marilyn, "I'll stay here to watch over Tiger tonight. You should go home and have a good rest."

Marilyn nodded and left.

When Angeline came to Tiger's ward, she saw Jay sitting next to the bed reading a fairy tale to his child in a voice that was comparable to a radio announcer. Angeline felt a pang in her heart.

She could see how devoted Jaybie was to his son.

However, what Jaybie did not know yet was that Tiger was not his son at all.

She needed to find a chance to tell him instead of letting him raise a son for a despicable woman like

Marilyn without knowing what was going on at all.

"Ben."

Angeline walked in.

Jay turned to look at her in silence as he waited for her to continue.

Angeline's lips parted. She was about to ask him to go home and rest when she saw the helpless look on the child's face as he lay on the hospital bed. Therefore, she swallowed the words at the tip of her mouth.

She knew that she was being selfish because all she cared about was Jay's health and that he might fall sick if he stayed up all night to take care of the patient. She did not think about how sad or afraid the child would be when his parents were not around to take care of him.

"Nothing. I'm just here to visit the child." Ultimately, she managed to stop herself from making the selfish and narrow-minded suggestion.

"Thank you," Jay said, "My family can never repay you for the kindness you've shown Tiger."

Angeline had helped him out so many times, and no matter how hard Jay's heart was, he still found himself moved by her kindness.

Angeline became playful. "If you're unable to repay m e, give your heart to me then."

Jay glared helplessly at her.

"You're always teasing me so heartlessly. Don't you know that..." Exasperated, he spoke halfway before he stopped abruptly.

Angeline stared at his humorless and serious face, then put away her unruly smile. "Don't know what?"

Jay's deep and profound eyes flashed a hint of an obscure, cold gleam.

When she so shamelessly teased him back then, he simply regarded her as a vulgar woman who had some stinking money yet no moral integrity. That was also the reason why he despised her greatly. When he got to know her on a deeper level though, he realized that she had only been teasing him alone.

Most importantly, she was merely teasing him yet had done nothing that crossed the line. She even showed him more respect than anyone.
