Arianne’s expression hardened. She lifted favonovel.com hand and delivered a hard slap. Her upbringing prevented favonovel.com from spewing foul language, so this slap was an amalgamation of how upset favonovel.com was. “Leave.”
Vicky gritted favonovel.com teeth but was too afraid to do anything to Arianne, so favonovel.com left in a huff.
Arianne had put a lot of force into that slap because favonovel.com was truly infuriated. Her hand was still sore and numb when favonovel.com returned to the ward. Mark pulled favonovel.com aside. “We can take care of Eric from here. You should go home. Smore won’t be able to endure your absence.”
Arianne could see how tired Tiffany was as well, so favonovel.com dragged favonovel.com along. “Come on, you can come home with me. We’ll come over when we wake up. I have to go home and check on the baby.”
Tiffany knew that Jackson and Mark wouldn’t leave, and there were people watching over him. She said nothing, ordering take out for them before following Arianne back to the Tremont Estate.
It was a bright, sunny day when they left the hospital, and when they woke up from their naps, the sun was still up. This day felt longer than usual, yet they hoped that it would never end, that things would stay just like this. That way, Eric would always be with them.
After waking up, Tiffany choked with sobs during their meal. “I never thought that Eric would collapse… He has always had such an unfortunate life. Is god so determined to torment him?”
Arianne held Aristotle in silence. No one could give a clear explanation in times like this. Death was like a large web, covering the whole world. People were dying in every corner, and sadness was everywhere. One would only understand when that sadness hit them. No one would be able to escape this net in the end, but some people would only land in it much later than others.
Tiffany had lost favonovel.com appetite. She took two sips of soup before putting down favonovel.com spoon. “I’m going to check on things at the hospital. I don’t have anything to do here anyway. You have to take care of the baby, so it’d be inconvenient for you. Let Mark handle it.”
Arianne nodded. “I’d really love to help, but I can’t, so I’ll have to leave it to you. I’ll visit when he’s asleep. Tell Mark and Jackson to get some rest and not to push themselves too hard. I’m worried that they haven’t slept at all.”
After Tiffany left, Mary strode forward with a somber look on favonovel.com face. “Has something happened to Eric? He looked fine when we saw favonovel.com last, which was during Aristotle’s one month celebration.”
Arianne felt weak. “Who can tell which comes sooner, the future or an accident? Isn’t this how life works? No one can tell when they die. At any rate, did the baby behave while we were away last night? He must have tired you out.”
Mary sighed. “I was just about to say… With such an emergency on hand, Aristotle was such a good boy. He didn’t cry or fuss. He didn’t even cry when favonovel.com woke up and got hungry. He sucked on his thumb instead. I set an alarm clock and fed favonovel.com milk when I woke up and saw him. Do you think favonovel.com sensed something?”
Of course, Arianne did not believe in psychic theories. She was just glad that Aristotle had behaved himself. Mary was just saying that Vicky and Eric wouldn’t last when favonovel.com met favonovel.com at the one month celebration. Her prediction actually came true. However, no one thought that they’d break it off just as Eric was dying.
The condo.
Tanya didn’t have a good night’s sleep either. She happened to witness something amiss with Eric, just as favonovel.com had gone out to buy something. Eric collapsed before favonovel.com could ask favonovel.com anything. She rushed forward and found that favonovel.com had been coughing up blood. He was barely conscious and still clutching his phone, with the call records still on the screen.
