207 I only want Her
“Don’t regret it,” Wayne said right away.
After that, he raised an eyebrow and called Gabe, saying, “Hey, it’s me. Please cancel all my schedules for the week. You know Anna’s
corporate office is being renovated, right? Is it possible to find someone to keep an eye on the site? Please don’t phone me these days
unless it’s an emergency.”
After hearing what Wayne said, Anna even began to doubt her ears.
What? Would Wayne, a workaholic, cancel this week‘s schedule because of a joke I made? Really? Anna thought to herself.
Anna had been to Wayne’s office before, so she knew he had a lot to deal with every day. Papers would pile up on Wayne’s desk if he
was out of the office for half a day. So, she could already imagine how many files would be there if he was gone for a week.
“How much will you tip me for my services, Miss Gabriel?”
It was only when she heard these words that Anna snapped out of her shock. She pretended to accept the reality calmly and said,
“How about at the current market price?”
“Oh, no. Other nurses won’t sleep with you as I would do.”
Anna glanced at him and asked, “I don’t need you to sleep with me.”
She assumed that was why Wayne wanted to keep her company.
Wayne’s expression didn’t even change as he said, “Well, then consider it a gift to you. I’ll take care of you and sleep with you this
week.”
Anna thought, I don‘t even need you to take care of me!
It was completely dark after Anna had a physical at the best hospital downtown. Then, Anna signed as she pressed the swab to her
arm.
Anna felt that she was not seriously injured, but merely burned. Moreover, the doctors in Sea Town had treated her. So she didn’t
need to be checked for germ infection right now. Wayne had just had her do a full physical checkup just then.
Before they left the hospital, the doctor said to them, “Please don’t worry. Although the doctor there simply bandaged Miss
Gabrielle’s wound, she is no longer in danger. You only have to come next week for the test results.”
After receiving the prescription from the doctor, Anna left the hospital with Wayne.
Anna kept glancing out the window at the lights on the way. The hustle and bustle of Birmingham contrasted sharply with the
simplicity of Sea Town. Anna felt as if she had journeyed through time and space, and she then had subtle feelings.
“Anna, it’s very late right now. So, do you still want to visit Peace?”
Anna nodded and said, ” Yeah. She once told me that whenever she had an attack, she would sleep during the day. So, day and night
are basically the same for her. Anyway, I still want to check on her. Besides, you’ll have a chance to talk to Karl this way.”
I wouldn‘t compel Karl to accept the fact that Peace is sick if he didn‘t want to, Anna thought to herself.
Wayne understood what she meant, and then he nodded and said, “Oh, I’ll tell him what really happened. But, you know, it’s
entirely up to him to decide what to do next, Anna, is there anything you want to tell him?”
“Oh, I’ll talk to him mysell,” Anna answered, shaking her head.
Karl drove peace to the hospital for a checkup alter she passed out. He then took her home after bringing her some medication. After
the psychiatrist diagnosed her, he recommended her to stay in the hospital for a while. Karl, on the other hand, declined it.
As a result, Peace stayed in Karl’s apartment. And Karllelt his work at the Carousel Group to care for her full-time.
Aller walking through the door, Anna Sawthal Karl hadn’t even shaved. She thought she would have been shocked if she hadn’t seen
Karl that day at the hospital looking as sloppy as he did.
Anna looked at the main bedroom immediately after entering the house and asked, “Is Peace asleep?”
Karl shook his head and replied, “Oh, no, she’s in her room watching TV right now. You can check on her.”
Pace cowered for a second before quickly burying her face beneath the covers. It was a long time before she peeked outside the
