"When are you going to leave?" Wayne asked, pulling Anna's wandering mind back.
Anna was at a loss for words. She hadn't thought much about when she would leave, but Wayne seemed to have assumed she would. Then she said, "I found a girl on the island, and I want to adopt her. Maybe I'll leave once the adoption process is completed."
Wayne nodded thoughtfully. "Just call Karl if you need any help," he said calmly after a brief pause. He looked convinced Anna would leave soon.
Anna was trembling and forgot what she was going to say. She knew she couldn't stay in the hospital any longer, so she left.
Itwasn't until she stood at the gate of the hospital that she recalled that she simply came here to visit Wayne. Also, she was hesitant about whether to tell Wayne she was pregnant before arriving at the hospital. However, the moment Wayne asked her when she would leave, she was so shocked that she completely forgot what she was going to talk to him about.
In the evening, Henry drove Matthew to Jasper's house. On the way, he said to Anna, "Miss Gabriel, thank you for looking after Matthew." Anna felt guilty as she looked at Henry's sad expression. She asked, "What did Grandpa say, Henry? Is he really willing to let me take Matthew away? Matthew is his only great-grandson. And he puts all of his hopes for the company's future on Matthew."
Henry sighed and explained, "Of course he disagreed. He had a big 381 Back to the Beginning fight with Wayne, so he still refuses to go to the hospital to see him."
Hearing his words, Anna felt even worse about herself.
Henry paused for a few seconds before saying hesitantly, "Wayne told me that he was going to marry another woman after you leave. Peter found him a nice girl, and they will marry soon."
Anna was having trouble breathing. Her face was turning pale as she was astonished.
As they arrived at the Wright's residence, Henry opened the car door for Anna and told her, "Now that my task is complete, I'm leaving. You can go back to our house with Matthew anytime you want and let him meet his father." Then he walked away.
In the living room, Matthew sat on the sofa. He looked at Anna with a puzzled expression and said, "Mommy, Grandpa Peter said I can see you all the time from now on, right?"
Anna tried her best to smile and said, "Yes. From now on, you'll be able to live with me and your sister at all times."
"and my sister?"
"Yes, and your sister."
"What about Daddy?
"I'll send you back if you want to see him."
"Won't Daddy live with us?"

Matthew's eyes had dimmed. "Why?" he asked, disappointed
Later, the two children appeared to have lost interest in Wayne after Jasper picked Tammy up from Selina's house. In their room, they were happily playing with Legos.
Jasper handed Anna an application to a prestigious foreign medical 381 Back to the Beginning school and said, "I've thought about it. You might not be used to giving up everything here and returning to America with me. I think it's better for you to do something you like." Anna opened the file and immediately calmed down. She said, "But | never finished college. Is it okay if | skip ahead to this?"
