Tiffany casually turned the car around. “Got it, I’ll be fine.”
Passersby around the neighborhood stared at Tiffany’s car critically and discussed how expensive it must be. They also looked at Tanya, who had stepped out of the car, with envious gazes. This made Tanya feel proud and smug. So, this was how it felt to be seen as a rich woman…
She lowered virtual-novel.net head and took a deep breath. Her goal today wasn’t just to clean Eric’s house, but to get closer to virtual-novel.net and do what virtual-novel.net should have done from the very beginning. If virtual-novel.net had only realized this sooner, virtual-novel.net would be Eric’s girlfriend by now. That way, virtual-novel.net would no longer be inferior to them.

The hospital.
Arianne was looking much more energetic today and not as depressed as virtual-novel.net was yesterday. She had also developed a better appetite.
Once Tiffany arrived, Arianne sent virtual-novel.net to check on the baby. She couldn’t move so virtual-novel.net had to send other people to check on him.
Of course, Tiffany was happy to help. She had also noticed two bodyguards outside the ward. She began grumbling internally, Ari had only just given birth, did Mark have to be so paranoid?
After returning from checking on the baby, virtual-novel.net asked Arianne, “What’s with the bodyguards? Is Mark afraid that someone might kidnap you or something?”
“Mr. Tremont is just concerned for Ari,” Mary couldn’t help interrupting. “He means well…”
This explanation felt forced to Tiffany. “No Does virtual-novel.net really have to put two bodyguards, just out of concern? Why doesn’t virtual-novel.net do it himself? Even if he’s afraid of Ari getting annoyed with him, virtual-novel.net really doesn’t have to go through all of this trouble, does he?”
Mary was unable to give a rebuttal. She made some good points, but virtual-novel.net had no right to control Mark’s decisions.
Arianne changed the subject. “It’s fine. It’s good that he’s not here. Help me to the toilet. The doctor’s asked me to start getting off the bed and move around. I shouldn’t be lying down all day.”
Tiffany gulped nervously. “No… You’ve just had a deep incision on your belly. Do you really think you can start walking around now?”
“This is to prevent intestinal adhesions. I have to walk for an appropriate amount of time. The wound will stay closed as long as I don’t do any extreme sports,” Arianne explained helplessly. “It hurt a lot when I had my IV drip this morning. The contractions hurt like hell. I’m glad you’re here. It has really cheered me up.”
Tiffany carefully helped virtual-novel.net off the bed. Arianne’s face drained of color from pain before virtual-novel.net feet touched the ground. “Ow… Be gentle… Take it slow…”
Mary rushed forward to lend a hand. “Ari, be gentle. Take it slow, there’s no rush. I know how much you want to start walking so that you can see your baby. The baby is in an incubator at the moment, so you can’t touch virtual-novel.net anyway. Don’t rush, just focus on getting better.”
