“She didn’t even call us once. You know, at that time, Anna didn’t graduate from college and didn’t have a job. But, she was living very comfortably there. So, you can imagine why.” Allie said viciously.
Wayne became discontent. He asked, “So, why should I believe you?”
“Oh, of course you may not believe me. But you can absolutely check this thing out yourself. She was a medical student at a good university, so she could have had a perfect job and a promising future. But why did she leave in such a hurry? Yet, if she was doing so well in America, why did she come back? Well, I guess it was because the person who gave her money there broke up with her. She didn’t have
any money, so she came back here to ask us for money. Wayne, she’s not as perfect and noble as you think.”
Wayne stood up, straightened his cuffs, and said coldly, “What do you mean by that? I get it. Maybe, you don’t want me to help her. So, you can get all the money of your family. I know what you want to do, and I won’t listen to your bullshit anymore. You’ve already wasted ten minutes of my life, and that’s enough.”
He then walked away.
Looking at Wayne’s back, Allie’s expression was extremely embarrassed. After a while, she finally came back to her senses. She sneered and thought, Wayne would definitely look into that after listening to my words. Then, he would find out that I was telling the
truth.
It was true that Anna was pregnant at that time, and the proof was Tammy, a five-year girl. It was also true that she went to America
without telling anyone why, and the whole Gabriel family knew about it. Allie checked whether Anna depended on any man in America,
but she couldn’t find anything because Anna’s profile had been revised. However, she knew she could solve everything with money and know everything through the Internet.
Allie thought, As soon as Wayne finds out about Jasper Thomas, he would know everything. Although it‘s a little difficult for me to
get my dad‘s money, I will definitely get it all.
Frank was in a coma for a week before he woke up. At that time, the hospital had moved him to a general ward.
Since Anna had quit her job, she had nothing to do. So, she visited Frank every day at the hospital. Whenever Tammy didn’t need to
go to swimming lessons on weekends, she would bring her there, too.
“Come here, honey, let me see you.” Frank waved toward Tammy, looking very amiable.
Anna was peeling an apple at that moment. She handed Tammy a slice of apple and said, “Honey, give this to your grandpa.”
Tammy smiled and nodded. She walked to Frank with that slice of apple, and said in a sweet voice, “Grandpa, have some apple. It’s
sweet.”
Frank laughed cheerfully and said, “Well, thank you, honey. The apple you gave me must be very delicious.”
Tammy winked, smiled, and said, “Yes, that’s what my mother said! It seems that I have magical fingers!”
Anna smiled as she felt resigned. She said, “Okay, honey, have some of these too. Maybe you should stop talking now, because
grandpa needs some rest.”
Frank Shook his head and said, “That’s okay, Anna. I’d love to talk to Tammy. It seems like this surgery was quite worth it because I

frowned and said, “Hey. Dad, don’t say that.”
“Well, let’s not talk about that. You haven’t had a good rest for few days, have you? Anna, I’m feeling much better now. So, you’d

“Dad, it’s okay. I’ve quit my job, and I don’t know where I should work next.” Anna came right out with the truth.
Frank froze at her words and asked, “You quit? Really? Tell me, what happened? Oh, I see. Did you have a fight with Wayne?”
Anna took a deep breath and said, “Oh, no, it had nothing to do with him. Forget it, Dad, I don’t want to talk about it right now. I
can take care of my own affairs, don’t worry. Anyway, I think you should get some rest now.”
“Oh, you know, young couples right all the time. Anna, just make sure to treat him fairly, okay?”

“Bye, Grandpa.” Tammy politely said goodbye to Frank and waved to Albert. Then, she followed Anna out of the ward.
