Chapter 52 I Come to Send a Gift
Before dawn.
Anaya was sent to the hospital for a consultation.
Two of her ribs were broken, and she had a slight concussion. There were countless other wounds of various sizes on her body. Fortunately, she was not fatally injured.
Orlando was sitting alone on a bench outside the operating room, lost in his thoughts.
After the accident, he asked Lawson to inform the Callis family.
However, it was until dawn that Joans and Audrey rushed over.
“Oh, dear! How could such a thing happen to Anaya?”
In the corridor, Audrey’s cry could be heard from far away. However, there were no tears in her eyes. Instead, she was even gloating over Anaya’s experience.
On the contrary, Joans walked in front of Orlando with a sad face. When he saw that Orlando had a gloomy face, he comforted Orlando.
Orlando didn’t respond to his comfort but politely said, “Please take a seat.”
Joans was unwilling to give up and asked, “Mr. Caffrey, what exactly is going on? How did Anaya get injured? Who harmed her?”
His elder daughter had just gotten into a car accident and became a vegetable. It hadn’t been long before Anaya was injured. Was there someone who wanted to make things difficult for the Callis family? Or was the Callis family going through a rough patch?
Orlando was silent for a moment before saying, “I have asked Lawson to investigate this matter.”
Seeing that Orlando did not like to speak, Joans was embarrassed to say anything else. He sat down on a bench and waited.
Not two minutes after Joans sat down, the lights in the operating room went out.
The doctor came out and said that Anaya’s operation was very successful. Other than not being able to move freely during this period, Anaya would have no other troubles. Moreover, Anaya could be transferred to a normal ward.
Orlando, Joans, and Audrey followed the doctor to the ward to visit Anaya.
Anaya had just woken up. Her whole body was wrapped in thick gauze. She struggled to open her
swollen eyes. When she saw Orlando come into her ward, she began to cry.
“Orlando, if it weren’t for you, I might have already died. Fortunately, you came to save me in time,
so I wasn’t insulted by those bastards. Orlando, I can’t leave you. Can you stay here with me?”
Anava weakly held onto Orlando’s hand. She had never expected that her plan would get her
involved.
Originally, she had sent a message to Orlando to provoke him and let him know that Viola was a flirtatious woman. Only then would Orlando pay his attention to her.
However, Anaya never expected that she was the one who suffered, and that text message
coincidentally saved her life.
Orlando sat next to her bed and lightly hummed.
Seeing that Orlando had a cold attitude towards her, Anaya couldn’t help but feel depressed. “Orlando, can’t you say something to comfort me? Is it because I’m ugly now that you don’t love
me?”
Without waiting for Orlando to reply, Joans winked at Anaya and said, “Anaya, don’t be so petty. How could Mr. Caffrey not love you? Who harmed you? Tell me, Daddy will avenge you.”
“I…”

When this matter was brought up, Anaya seemed to have thought of something bad and began to sob.
“I only remember Viola saying that she was looking for me for something. I took a taxi from home to find her, but I was knocked unconscious on the road. When I woke up, I was in that small room. It was so dark inside that I couldn’t see anything. Someone hit me and kicked me. They said that Viola asked them to torture me to death…

“I’m so scared…”
Anaya was curled up on the bed. As soon as she thought of that desperate pain, her whole body began to tremble, looking very pitiful and helpless.
Joans was furious after hearing what Anaya said. He looked at Orlando.
“Mr. Caffrey, you are her fiancé. You won’t just sit by and do nothing about this matter, right? No matter what, this matter has something to do with Viola. How could she dare to harm Anaya like this? She didn’t show any respect to you! You have to help Anaya!”
