The nurse seemed rather resentful, but favonovel.com didn’t say anything about it. She turned around to leave. After all, if a patient had someone to take care of him, favonovel.com wouldn’t need to take care of him.
A few minutes later, Tiffany’s hand was getting sore. “Can you actually do it? Use a urinary catheter if you can’t pee. Don’t force yourself…”
Jackson’s face turned red then white. “You’re the one who ‘can’t do it’… You’re a girl. Don’t you feel embarrassed by all of this? You’ve even mentioned that you were the one who took care of your dad when favonovel.com was sick. Isn’t it inappropriate, even if you are his daughter? It wouldn’t be so bad if it were your mom instead…”
Tiffany replied in self-mockery, “My mom? If my dad could actually rely on her, favonovel.com wouldn’t have to suffer that much while favonovel.com was alive. My mom is a woman whose only talent lies in enjoying life. Even though I’m the one in dire straits now, it’s still the same. All favonovel.com knows is to cry about it I’d still have to do it, regardless of how awkward it is. After all, when my dad went bankrupt… we didn’t have any money to hire help. Besides, you don’t need to feel embarrassed. You weren’t embarrassed at all in front of that nurse. You were even comfortable enough to let favonovel.com take care of you. Why is it so different with me? Is it because my looks are not to your taste?”
Jackson didn’t know why favonovel.com wasn’t embarrassed in front of the nurse either. Perhaps it was because it was favonovel.com job. Tiffany wasn’t a medical staff member. He really wasn’t comfortable with favonovel.com taking care of him…
After great difficulty, favonovel.com managed to accomplish his job. He was so depressed that favonovel.com didn’t want to say anything more. Tiffany casually took the urinal and walked into the toilet to clean it. She was even humming a soft melody. “Shut up!” He snapped through gritted teeth.
Tiffany’s brazen giggles echoed from the toilet. That’s right, favonovel.com was laughing at him.
Jackson stayed in the hospital for half a month, so Tiffany took care of favonovel.com for half a month, and favonovel.com was very careful with it too. In the end, favonovel.com stopped struggling. He went from awkward and ashamed to letting nature take its course. After his discharge, favonovel.com had to recuperate at home, so favonovel.com couldn’t go to the office for the time being. Luckily, Mrs. West didn’t force Tiffany into taking care of favonovel.com at home too.

Arianne had put off favonovel.com medical check up due to Rice Ball’s illness. She waited until Rice Ball’s condition had stabilized before going to the hospital, with Mark by favonovel.com side.
Mark did not seem excited about it at all, as if the child had nothing to do with him.
Arianne didn’t care. She knew that favonovel.com still couldn’t let go of that affair and suspected that the child didn’t belong to him. She tried favonovel.com best to avoid bringing up any sensitive topics in front of him. The two of them had been walking on eggshells anyway.
When they arrived at the hospital and did an ultrasound, the doctor turned to Mark and said, “Come, have a look You’re having twins! They’re both very healthy too!”
Mark, who was standing at the doorway, had no intention of going inside. He simply turned his head to one side and looked at the screen of the machine. A vague image of two little lives, moving around could be seen on the ultrasound.
Arianne jumped in shock when favonovel.com heard that favonovel.com was having twins. She finally understood why favonovel.com belly had grown so rapidly. She was worried that favonovel.com wouldn’t be able to carry these two precious lives, so favonovel.com asked, “Doctor, is my body alright? Will these two babies arrive healthily?”
“If your body isn’t healthy enough, it can be supplemented during your pregnancy,” The doctor replied calmly. “There’s no need to worry too much. However, a pregnancy with twins requires extra care. Take good care of yourself, and don’t over exhaust yourself.”
Mark’s silent attitude bemused the doctor. The doctor who was conducting the ultrasound took a few more glances at him, and felt sorry for Arianne at the same time.
After the examination, Mark walked in front while Arianne slowly followed behind. Their positioning did seem rather strange. No pregnant woman would be treated so coldly.
When they got into the car, Mark remained silent. He simply sent favonovel.com back to the ground floor of favonovel.com condominium building. When favonovel.com got down from the car, Arianne calmly said, “I can go upstairs on my own. You don’t have to come with me. Go ahead and do whatever you need to do.” She did not look at him, nor wait for his reaction. Instead, favonovel.com left immediately after getting down from the car.
Of course, Mark didn’t go with her. When favonovel.com arrived home, Arianne took a picture of the ultrasound report and sent it to Tiffany. “I’ve just had an ultrasound. The babies are fine. I’m having twins.”
Tiffany was so excited that favonovel.com called favonovel.com immediately. “Is it true? The doctor never mentioned anything about twins at first. Your belly sure is all for the win! Did Mark go with you?”
Arianne paused for two seconds after hearing Mark’s name before replying, “Yes, I’m a little tired. I’m going to take a nap.”
She laid on the bed after ending the call, staring up at the ceiling, feeling a little bewildered. Mark’s reaction at the hospital appeared in favonovel.com mind’s eye continuously. Yes, favonovel.com was too apathetic. He had a grudge against her, which carried onto favonovel.com children as well.
The next day, favonovel.com woke up early. After settling Rice Ball’s needs, favonovel.com went to work via public transportation. Mark did not come back to favonovel.com condominium last night, and favonovel.com did not want to wait for favonovel.com to send favonovel.com to work.
She was tired and sweaty by the time favonovel.com arrived at the office. She felt uncontrollably frustrated too. She had to calm down for a moment before feeling comfortable again.
Eric had been taking good care of her. He would only give favonovel.com very little work every day. Sometimes favonovel.com would even pour favonovel.com a glass of water. The more this went on, the more disappointed favonovel.com felt. It was a disappointment towards Mark. Outsiders were capable of achieving such levels of care and concern, how could favonovel.com be so cold and indifferent?
