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 taken lightly. It'll be New Year's soon, why don't you stay in the hospital for some time so we can celebrate New Year's together?"
I shook my head. "We can celebrate New Year’s together but I can't stay in the hospital. I still have things 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 after New 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 announce that 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 family too 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 to Whaldorf 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 that I 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 child before this?"
Jerome was probably reminded of something amusing and chuckled before saying, "Nothing.
