Caleb.Marigold knew that the name meant loyal, faithful, and whole. It was indeed a good name. She couldn't help but smile at the name Gilbert picked for their child. He'd probably chosen it hoping that his son would be a pure and noble person in the future."Caleb... Caleb..." Marigold looked at the baby in the cot and unknowingly beamed from ear to ear. "From today onwards, you have a name. Your name is Caleb, and your nickname will be..." Marigold repeated the name again and again in her head and finally came up with the nickname Cal. "Your nickname will be Cal," Marigold announced. The baby smiled. It was unclear whether it was because Marigold was making him laugh or because he genuinely liked his name. Nonetheless, he seemed to be quite pleased.On the same day, Jenny and the rest learned of the child's name too.Jenny called Marigold and asked her, "Did Gilbert choose the name himself?""I guess he probably came up with the name himself. Judging from the obvious dark cir

When night fell, Marigold was sitting on the sofa in the living room. She was normally already asleep at this hour, but today, she didn't feel the least bit drowsy. The words Jenny had said to her in the afternoon kept replaying in her head, and she began to reflect on herself. Perhaps she'd been wrong. Was her child destined to be inferior to others just because his parents didn't get married? Jenny had reminded her of an important point.While being lost in her thoughts, she heard the sound of a car outside. Gilbert was home. Soon, the living room door was opened, and in came Gilbert. After turning on the lights, he spotted Marigold sitting on the sofa. Feeling puzzled, he asked, "It's late. Why are you still awake?""I have something to discuss with you." Marigold looked at him resolutely—she'd finally made a decision. Gilbert didn't hurry to sit down and listen attentively. Instead, he leisurely put his bag aside, walked over, and grabbed a glass of water. Only then did he ask,

"Marigold!" Paul bellowed angrily. "Didn't you desperately want to be the distinguished young lady of an affluent family before? Now, you could no longer care less because of Gilbert. Is that it?"Before Marigold met Gilbert, what she wanted the most was to gain the recognition of every single one of the Wagners and be acknowledged as the eldest daughter of the Wagner family.However, things were different now. After Gilbert came into her life, everything she'd feverishly chased after in the past lost its meaning and value. Right now, Paul found this change hard to accept."He's not the cause, Paul. I've merely changed my perspective," Marigold said with a bitter smile. She no longer needed affirmation from the Wagners. Before Paul could speak, she continued, "I used to hope for the approval of the other members of the family. I cared so much that I ended up driving myself into a corner. I tried hard to prove myself just like you. But in the end, what did I gain?"After careful con

Marigold's body was trembling slightly, and Jenny noticed it. She reached out and held her hand while asking, "Are you okay?""I-I'm fine." Marigold forced a smile, but she looked anything but fine at that moment."Don't think too much. Isn't the baby's naming ceremony this weekend? I'll accompany you to go shopping. We should get you some new clothes for such a wonderful occasion," Jenny suggested while getting up and taking off her white coat. She prepared to leave the hospital with Marigold.Soon, they walked out of the hospital and stood by the roadside. A gust of wind blew over them, and only then did Marigold return to her senses and ask, "Huh? Shopping? Don't you need to work?""Alec is the major shareholder of this hospital." In other words, Jenny had absolute freedom over her working hours.Of course, most of the time, she still went to work on time. After all, she had quite a number of patients who came to see her every day. But there were exceptions sometimes, like now.

Eleanor slinked away with her tail between her legs, and Jenny withdrew her gaze. She turned to look at Marigold, who was standing to the side. "Don't take her words to heart.""I know. I never took her seriously, to begin with." In the past, she never had high regard for Eleanor, let alone now. After going through so much, she'd long let go of such things. Even if their father were still around, Marigold probably wouldn't care about what he had to say anymore.Hearing her response, Jenny felt relieved. "You really don't plan on returning to the Wagners?"Yesterday, Paul called Alec and asked her to persuade Marigold to return to the family. Jenny didn't agree or make any promises. Still, she wanted to check with Marigold on what she actually thought of the matter."Well, I never really felt a sense of belonging with the Wagners anyway. It's better this way, I think." She had a new life now, and she was content and happy with it.Jenny could tell she wasn't lying, so she immediate
