Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 212

212 No, He Is My Brother

Anna was not seriously burned, so she didn’t need to rest for a long time. And Anna was able to walk on her own after a week.

The Carousel Group had been delaying the development of the resort project for a while. Therefore, after Wayne made sure that Anna was okay, he immediately went on a business trip to another city.

“Gabe, we only have three days to complete this project. Let’s have a meeting as soon as we get there.” Wayne told Gabe in an urgent way at the airport.

Gabe’s eyes widened in surprise as he exclaimed, “What? Three days! That’s totally impossible!”

“Oh, you know I don’t want to hear any excuses. I have an important thing to do these days. So, if we can’t finish this project in three days, I’ll still go back to Birmingham. If this happens, you’ll have to deal with them on your own.”

Gabe thought he had heard it wrong. He said, “What? Mr. Wright, this project is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. What could be more important than this?”

“It’s a personal matter.” Wayne’s brow furrowed slightly and he appeared to be upset.

Anna had mentioned that Jasper Thomas would be in Birmingham this week. So, of course, he wanted to meet him and to find out what really had happened between him and Anna.

“Well, that’s basically done here. So, you guys can move in after airing it for a while. It’s so lucky that there’s good ventilation here. As you requested, most of the furniture here is used. So, it won’t take you long to move in.”The captain of the renovation team said to Anna.

After walking around the building and checking it out, Anna paid them the money. She was very pleased that this building looked refreshing and different from what she had seen before.

They renovated the building into an loft-style as Peace suggested. All the walls inside the building were gray. This would not only make the place look good, but also make the dust look less obvious. The first floor was for offices and the second floor served as the designer’s studio and clothing showroom.

Although that building was not big, it was something she and Peace had created together.

Anna couldn’t help but call Peace when she thought of her. Karl was the one who answered the phone, as she had expected.

“Karl, how is Peace doing?” She asked.

“Oh, luckily, she can recognize people now. She’s in a nice mood, but she’s still a little sleepy. Peace stared at the window for a long time yesterday. I was worried that she might jump off the building accidentally, so I put safety protection on the window.”

Anna sighed and said, “Oh, that’s very considerate of you. If you can’t hold on much longer, you should take her to the hospital. Peace had told me that staying in the hospital would help her recover faster.”

“No way. Anna, I’m sure I can take care of her myself.” Karl said firmly.

“Anna, she’s already sleeping a lot less today than yesterday. So, if you’re not too busy, you can pay her a visit here. You can come here at any moment.”

“Oh, I’ll definitely be there. You know, the renovation of the building will be finished soon now. I’ll certainly visit her and tell her the good news. I’ll come to your house if I get it all done.”

“Great!”

They hung up the phone after a few more words.

Anna couldn’t bear to say too much to Karl. If Peace was still lucid, Anna knew that she would never let Karl see her like this. Anna, on the other hand, was not present when she was having an attack.

As a result, she blamed herself, believing that her negligence had dragged Karl into this mess.

After hanging up the phone, Karl glanced at the bedroom. The curtains were closed tightly, and a bedside lamp was glowing dimly.

Peace was asleep. At that moment, his phone beeped.

“Are you sure you’re not going, Matthew?”

Natalie quickly opened the courtyard door and darted towards them. She pointed to the lighted sign on the stone table and asked with excitement, “I know this. It’s Scott’s support lighted sign. So, are you guys going to his concert tonight too?”
