My Pretty Sweetheart novel 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 to come 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.
