I shook my head and said, "No, I have a friend whose child is the same age as Anne. Since Anne has a lot of clothes that she doesn't wear anymore, it'll be a waste to just keep them at home. I'll be visiting her later, so I'll just bring them over."
The maid nodded.
Anne immediately came out of the pool when she saw me. Wrapped in a bath towel, she looked at me and said, "Mom, have you been very busy recently? You didn't come to see me. Grandma said that you have a lot of work to do. Is it true?"
I nodded, smiled faintly, and said with a hint of guilt, "Yes. I've been very busy recently, but I'm always thinking of you. Aren't I here now?" While speaking, I started wiping her wet hair with a bath towel.
Valerie walked toward me wrapped in a bath towel too, and asked, "How're things at the Roberts Group? Is everything fine?"
I nodded my head and replied, "Everything is fine!"
She nodded and said, "You rarely come home. There are swimsuits here, you can go into the pool for a soak. It has minerals that are good for your health. Hendrix said that you always feel cold all year round. I think it's because your body is too weak. I've booked a spa treatment later, you should join me."
I shook my head and said, "I still have something to do later, so..."
"Don't refuse. Health is more important. I heard that Hendrix purchased a new house in the north of the city. That's a natural hot spring area. I think he also wants you to take good care of your body. I asked the doctor a few days ago. He said that as long as you take good care of your body, it's possible for you to conceive. I know this has always bothered you. Arianna, we have to look ahead in life after all. We will only have a future if we face life with hope, right?"
I couldn't refute her, so I could only nod my head. The maid had already brought me a swimsuit.
