If I thanked him again, I was afraid that he would think that I was being overly pretentious. I chuckled and said, "In that case, I'd have to trouble you."

He smiled faintly and placed the hospital invoice beside me. He sighed lightly and said, "You shouldn't endure everything on your own."

I pursed my lips and remained silent.

I was not severely ill. With Jerome by my side, I would recover soon.

Fred would look after Munchkin for these few days. I did not have to go to work as well, so I did not need to bother about anything. I rarely had so much time for myself.

After I packed my belongings and got discharged from the hospital, Jerome looked at me and said, "The doctor said that your condition is the aftereffects of giving birth last time. You need to recuperate your body well in the future. You’re only 30. You shouldn't have the body of an 80-year- old woman."

I chuckled and did not say anything else. I simply said, "Munchkin wants to eat braised pork tonight. Remember to stop by the supermarket on the way back later.”

He held his forehead and shrugged. "Can't you think of anything else using that head of yours?"

I did not say anything. I simply carried my belongings and headed downstairs.

Fred was extremely nice. He was already waiting for u s downstairs. He had started the car as well. I could not reject his good intentions, so I had no choice but to get into the car.

We bought plenty of pork belly in the supermarket. After sending Jerome and me home, Fred went to fetch Munchkin and Tina.

My days had settled down. They were now filled with ordinary daily activities. In the past, I always thought that I would be someone who would take good care of the household if I had the chance to spend the rest of my life with Theo. I would look after our children all day and learn how to cook delicious dishes. I would learn how to take good care of his and our children's health.

Life did not go as expected. I really managed to let go o f many things in these three years. I always thought that perhaps he had his own hardships. He must have his own reasons for lying to me and hurting me.

My hatred toward him was tinged with love due to how deeply I loved him. After some time, I managed to calm down. Regardless of everything that had happened, we were split up now and had gone our separate ways. We had our own lives now.

Fred always did things swiftly. He transferred me to another branch and let me take on the position of manager over there. I could not get used to how relaxed my life suddenly was.

Perhaps I was way too free, so I listened to plenty of gossips as well.

"I heard that the woman’s parents are high-ranking officials in Whaldorf City. Although that isn't our shop’s responsibility, something happened to her in our shop. I don't think that it’ll be easy to deal with this matter."

"Do you think the headquarters will shut down our branch? I don’t think they’ll mind closing down a branch in a small provincial city like this. They'd be able to save plenty of trouble by doing so.

"I believe so. The headquarters might not care about our income."

"That means that we'll be unemployed, then. I went through so much to find a job with such a good salary and perks. After this incident, I'll lose my job once again."

The few waiters and waitresses in the shop gathered together to discuss this issue. I could not help but listen to more of what they were saying. They were right. There were no large companies in Zenon. It was mainly filled with factories and some small shops.

This restaurant was considered to be large. The salary and perks that it offered its employees were better than that of other restaurants. If it closed down today, they would all have to look for jobs again.

They might not be able to find a job with a salary of over 3,000 dollars per month. I could not help but sigh. I was about to get my paycheck after a month, yet something like this happened. It seemed like luck was not on my side.

Fred walked in and looked at the waiters and waitresses, who were busy sighing. He frowned and said, "If you guys have the time to complain and grumble over here, your time would be better spent on thinking how to do your jobs well."

The waiters and waitresses dispersed after he shouted at them.

He walked toward me and noticed me staring at the computer screen. He asked, "What are you thinking about? It’s almost time to get off work. Shall we fetch Munchkin and Pumpkin together?"

I nodded and suddenly remembered that I still had to prepare a form later. I shook my head and said, "Can you help me fetch Munchkin? I still need to work on something. Thank you."

He smiled when he looked at the incomplete form on the computer. He did not say anything. He simply walked out.

As soon as he left, the waiters and waitresses gathered around to gossip once again. However, the topic of their discussion had switched to me.
