Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 238

238 I Killed Someone

Gerard felt that he was kinda out of luck today.

He came to the hotel just because he wanted to have a one-night stand with Anna. The fact that Anna didn’t show up had already made him angry, and he didn’t expect someone to somehow punch him.

He then felt extremely angry. He knew he shouldn’t offend Wayne, but he couldn’t help but hit him hard.

Gerard was sure Wayne’s head would c k a gash if he slammed the lamp on it. He had already thought of that scenario and how he would brag about it to others later. He felt proud that he would beat Wayne, the arrogant guy from the Wright family, into a fool.

However, the reality was not as ideal as he had imagined. Gerard felt something hit him hard in the back of the head as he prepared to smash the lamp on Wayne’s head.

Then a warm liquid began to trickle into his neck, swiftly turning cool and continuing to travel lower.

With a frightened expression, Anna held up the steel pipe she had randomly picked up behind him. After being hit, Gerard immediately froze and looked back.

With a “clang”, the steel pipe in Anna’s hand fell to the ground, rolled to the corner and mixed with the shattered electronics.

Before Gerard could respond, he noticed that his eyes were turning dark. He immediately fell to the bed after that.

As Anna looked at her hands, her face became as pale as the wall. Then, she felt like she couldn’t move her legs at all like they were out of control.

“I killed someone, I… “Anna muttered. She felt like a helicopter making noises in her head and that there was blood in front of her eyes. She continued repeating the word “blood” because she could not regain her composure.

She exclaimed, “Blood! There’s so much blood in here…” Just as she was dazed and confused, she felt someone holding her tight.

She felt as though she couldn’t even breathe since Wayne was holding her so tightly. Then, as if having discovered a long-lost priceless treasure, he placed his face into her neck. Until he was certain that the person in his arms was Anna, he didn’t appear to be in such a panic.

Wayne believed he would never see Anna again before seeing her here. Earlier, Gerard had said something to humiliate him, making him think that Anna had had an accident.

Then, the siren of police cars sounded outside the window. Soon after, some police officers came upstairs to protect the scene and took the witnesses away. After being pulled away from Wayne’s arms, Anna was still feeling quite disoriented.

Before the cops dragged her away, she had no chance to speak to Wayne.

The cop then asked her, “What’s your name?” “Anna Gabriel.” “Age?” “25.”

After asking Anna these basic questions, a police officer found Anna’s information in the database.

Then, he looked at Anna with surprise and asked, “Oh? You are not British?”

Anna nodded and then explained, “I was born and raised in England and moved to the US five years ago. This whole thing has nothing to do with me, so you can ask me as many questions as you want. Well, I think the embassy is not going to care about this.”

Anna was an American citizen. Therefore, the British police had no authority to punish her directly if this matter became serious.

The police officer nodded and said, “Please tell me what happened.”

Anna then honestly recounted the entire incident. Lastly, she added, “I’m not even sure why he invited me to come to this hotel, to be honest. By the way, I was the one who called you at first.”

“Then, do you know the person who hit him?” Anna froze for a moment, then said, “Oh, yes. We.”

Just as Anna was hesitating on how should she put it, she suddenly heard a knock on the door. Then, an older officer opened the door and said, “Anna Gabriel, you’re free to go now.”

“But she hadn’t finished making her statement yet.” the policeman in front of Anna said after a little moment of hesitation.

Anna knew she wouldn’t be at the police station for long because, after all, Wayne was here for her. Wayne was a powerful man, so he would definitely bail her out if she was detained by the police.

Anna forced herself to walk toward him and was so awkward that she was unsure of what to say. They hadn’t seen each other in a while and had never contacted each other after the breakup. They tried to avoid each other whenever they attended receptions and parties in Birmingham.

Therefore, neither of them expected that they’d be meeting there again. “Gabe’s waiting for us at the entrance. Let’s go, Anna. I’ll take you back to your hotel.

Anna froze. She hesitated for a moment and followed him.

“Where do you live?” Wayne asked her as she got into the car.

Wayne frowned and said, “No, I’m fine…”

Gabe was driving at that time. He glanced at Wayne through the rearview mirror and said anxiously, “No, he’s not okay! He got into a fight with Jasper earlier and broke two ribs. You know, he’s supposed to be resting in the hospital now. He still hasn’t recovered from the injuries he used to get. And I didn’t expect that he got into a fight with someone else again.”
