At the time, she was pregnant. I stayed with Irvin for a month after the incident, and during that time, I had tried many ways to end my life.
Irvin had been busy taking care of me, so he had no time to care about anyone else. Based on his personality, if I didn't take the initiative to ask to see Monique, he would not have voluntarily looked for her, let alone agitate her.
Vicious means like this...
"It was Josiah's assistant, Chloe!" He exclaimed, his voice was a little cold.
Chloe!
I frowned and couldn't help but remember her as the girl who always dressed nicely. She was the same girl that Andrea had humiliated in the Emperor Club.
"Chloe?"
Ian nodded. "She took the initiative to look for Monique. I don't know what she told Monique, but she was in a bad mood after talking to Chloe. When Monique left, she warned that we should never tell Josiah about the child."
Not tell Josiah about the child?
I didn't say anything more. In life, no matter what one did, one had to be tough. If they were too weak from the start, everyone would think them an easy target.
Seeing that I didn't say anything else, and was just staring at the ceiling in a daze, Ian called out to me, "Arianna, you..."
"I'm fine!"
I pushed away all my emotions and turned to Kelsey, "You may have to help me with this."
Kelsey paused slightly and then bowed her head slightly. "Okay!"
I nodded. "Thank you!"
"You don't have to thank me. It's what I should do!" She responded seriously.
I knew that she was thanking me for helping her with Calvin, but my heart was still gratuitous towards her.
I looked at Ian, shifting my body towards him. It hurt so much that I felt like pain was just washing ashore at every part of my body. "Ian, when can I leave the hospital?"
"Alright!" After a pause, I looked at him and asked, "The child... have you chosen a name?"
He shook his head. "I was waiting for you to choose one. Monique mentioned to let the child adopt your surname, so that... The child would be closer to you!"
My heart wrenched, and I felt a dull pain between my eyebrows. I opened my mouth, feeling extremely upset. "Is it a boy or a girl?"
"A girl!"
"Then let's call her 'Moanna'. You can come up with a nickname for her!"
Ian paused for a moment before he realized, "Moanna. That's a combination of you and Monique's names."
I nodded, and my eyes were a little teary. "The sunshine and warmth that Monique and I never had, I will give it all to her!"
He nodded and said after thinking to himself for a while, "Then her nickname shall be 'Anne', what do you think?"
"It's not bad. It's popular yet novel. It has a nicer ring to it than some weird nickname like 'Sugar Bun' or 'Lollipop'," Sawyer chimed in, clearly approving of the name.
