Chapter 1173


    These words sounded a little strange, but I quickly realized what he wanted to say. I shook my


    head, frowned, and said, "Irvin, you''re crazy. There''s nothing between us. Shirley is a nice girl, so


    you shouldn''t let her down."

    He lowered his head and continued to peel the fruit. He seemed to ignore what I just said.


    In the evening, a phone call came from Anne. She was in high spirits, "Mom, Grandma said that it''s


    going to be the holidays soon. My kindergarten teacher said that holidays are for family reunions.


    So, are you done with your work? Will you be back here soon?"


    I sighed with dejection. I wanted to tell Anne that I couldn''t go back, but I was worried that she


    would be upset if I did. Hence, at that moment, I assured her I would be back.


    After I hung up the phone, Irvin looked at me and said with a smile, "If you want to return to Jarold


    City to see Anne, you should go ahead. Don''t worry about me. Florence is here, and it''s just a few


    days, I will be fine."


    Although he seemed to make sense, he should not be spending the holidays alone in the hospital...


    Moreover, Florence would be going home for the holidays too. Therefore, he would be alone.


    I wondered if I could arrange for Shirley toe to Asherton... Would that work?


    And hence, I made a decision.


    That was to invite Shirley to Asherton.


    I went to the entrance of the hospital. I had made an excuse to go buy something so that I could call


    Shirley. The call disconnected after a few rings. I paused for a moment and didn''t think much about


    it. Then, I continued to make another call.


    On my third try, she finally picked up.


    She seemed to know it was me and her tone was very unfriendly, "Arianna, what do you want?


    Showing off to me how happy you both are together?"


    I pursed my lips. Sighing, I exined, "Shirley, you''re thinking too much. I''m calling you to tell you


    that Irvin has been injured in an ident in Lancille Vige. He needs someone to take care of him


    at the hospital. It''ll be the holidays soon, and he may not be able to return to Jarold City to


    apany you. So, could youe to Asherton? Although Irvin is cold and distant, he''s actually


    afraid of being alone. If youe, he might cheer up."


    She fell silent for a while. Then, she said, "Arianna,


    why would you help me?"


    I shrugged, "Don''t think too much. I am not helping you. I did this because I owe him too much. I


    hope to help him have a better life and have someone to care for and love him. I can''t do that, but


    you can!"


    After a moment of silence, she replied, "Well, I hope you are right."


    I didn''t say much. I hung up the phone, and couldn''t help but feel a little distracted.


    To think about it, I had not contacted Hendrix for three days. He hadn''t taken the initiative to contact


    me either.


    Shirley arrived very quickly. Her sudden appearance at noon the next day made Irvin unhappy.


    However, she was just a girl holding a tiny infant in her arms while dragging a huge suitcase. She


    used to be as exquisite as a doll, but now, when she appeared at the ward, I almost could not


    recognize her.


    Unexpectedly, Shirley, who had been beautiful and elegant, was now carrying a baby, d in ts


    instead of her usual high heels. Her signature wavy hair was now reced by a messy ponytail.


    She was d in a loose jumper and pants, instead of the pretty clothes she used to wear. For the


    ease of breastfeeding, she probably did not have a bra on, and there was even a vague damp patch


    on the front of her jumper...
