Chapter 638
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 ced 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 birthst 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 backter.”
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 rxed 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 ie."
"That means that we''ll be unemployed, then. I went through so much to find a job with such a good
sry 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 norgepanies in
Zenon. It was mainly filled with factories and some small shops.
This restaurant was considered to berge. The sry 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 sry of over 3,000 dors 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 toin 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 theputer screen. He asked, "What are you
thinking about? It’s almost time to get off work. Shall we fetch Munchkin and Pumpkin together?"
N?velDrama.Org owns this.
I nodded and suddenly remembered that I still had to prepare a formter. 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 iplete form on theputer. 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.
