Chapter 525

I looked at Heidi. "I need your help."

Heidi nodded. "No problem."

I cast my eyes down and looked at my pale hands. " When can I be discharged from the hospital?"

Jerome hurriedly said, "The doctor suggests you stay i n the hospital for a week for observation."

"No way." I lifted the blanket. "I still have many things to do."

"Wandy!" Jerome grabbed my arm, a look of disagreement filled his face.

"You're not feeling well right now. The fact that you vomited blood means that this can't be takenlightly. It'll be New Year's soon, why don't you stay in the hospital for some time so we can celebrateNew Year's together?"

I shook my head. "We can celebrate New Year’s together but I can't stay in the hospital. I still havethings to do in Whaldorf City. I'll come back and celebrate with you after I finish my work there."

Jerome furrowed his brows. "Can’t you just leave your matters aside for now and handle them afterNew Year's? Your health is your most precious asset."

"It would be nice if I could just leave those matters aside until after New Year's." I sighed.

"The Schumans are holding a family banquet the night after tomorrow. They'll officially announcethat I'm now part of the Schumans, so I have to get back."

Jerome was stunned. "Schumans of Whaldorf City? Which Schuman?”

"Carlson Schuman."

Jerome's countenance changed as soon as he heard the name. “He’s Tyler's uncle."

It was not surprising to know that Jerome was aware o f this. He came from a distinguished familytoo and was able to, intentionally or unintentionally, hear about all sorts of information.

I nodded. "There are many things that I'll tell you when the time is right. I need to go back toWhaldorf City tomorrow.”

Jerome did not persuade me anymore this time.

Xander bought food back but I did not have the appetite to eat. I told them to go ahead and said thatI would only eat when I was hungry.

I glanced at my phone and then at Jerome who was currently eating. "What did you call that childbefore this?"

Jerome was probably reminded of something amusing and chuckled before saying, "Nothing.

Cecilia wanted you to name the child. The child will also take on your last name."

I felt a pang in my heart and covered my chest, saying, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

"A boy."

I lowered my head and thought about it. "Let's call him Nimue Lane."

It was in remembrance of the warmest and gentlest Cecilia in this world. Both this child and I wouldspend our whole lives remembering her.

Jerome did not have an opinion about that.

"You can give him a nickname," I looked at him and said with a smile.

Jerome thought about it and his eyes suddenly lit up." Let’s call him ‘Munchkin’."

"That's so old-fashioned,” Heidi criticized.

"What do you know?" Jerome glared at her. "Names like that are easy to remember. Besides, he'sso

chubby right now, so I think it's especially appropriate to call him that."

Nicknames were supposed to be easy to remember. I nodded with a smile. "Let's call him‘Munchkin’ then. But I'm sure he won’t like this nickname when he grows a little bigger."

Jerome snorted. "How can he not like it when I gave him that nickname?"

I smiled but said no more.

I lay back down on the bed and felt a wave of drowsiness hit me. I closed my eyes and fell asleep inno time at all.

When I woke up in the evening, Jerome and Xander had already gone back. After all, they stillneeded to take care of the child.

Heidi was lying on another hospital bed, swiping her phone. When she noticed that I was awake,she got up to pour me a glass of water. "Drink some.”

"Thanks." I smiled. "Thanks for telling me the truth, and thanks for staying back to take care of me."

"You don't have to thank me. This is what I should do."

She helped me sit up after saying that.
