Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 422

422 Peter's Wish

Nancy's punishment for Anna was to embarrass her. However, it didn't matter to Anna because she wasn't the one who imagined herself to be Peter's illegitimate daughter.

Anna stood at the door and took a deep breath before entering Peter's ward. She had long wished to meet Peter and speak with him about his condition but had lacked the courage to do so. Actually, Nancy provided her with an excellent opportunity.

In the ward, Peter was coughing but trying not to make too much noise.

‘•Have some water, Peter,” Anna said as she handed him a glass of water.

Peter looked up when he heard her voice. His vision was blurry, but he could see Anna wearing a white robe. Surprised, he asked, "Anna?

What exactly are you doing here?”

Anna put the cup on the table and helped Peter sit up. She replied, "It's a long story. Anyway, I'm your health care provider now. Have some water, please."

Peter was still choked, but he drank the water anyway. He paused as if he had much to say. But, in the end, he just asked, "Where have you been all these years, Anna? | haven't heard from you for quite some time.”

Anna sat in a chair next to his bed and explained, "I'm a doctor now. | was studying medicine in college, as you know, but I dropped out because | was pregnant. I'm currently studying in a medical school.”

Anna spent a long time talking to Peter. She told him about her 421 Peter's Wish

five-year study experience and volunteer work in the war zone. She avoided mentioning the dangerous experiences and instead focused on the interesting ones.

By late afternoon, a nurse had brought Peter dinner. Anna looked at her watch and apologized, saying, "Is it already dinnertime? | apologize for talking too much.”

The nurse placed the meal on the table and asked, "Do you two know each other?"

Peter nodded before Anna could say anything, and he explained, "We've known each other for a long time. She almost became my granddaughter-in-law a few years ago.”

The nurse asked in surprise, "Granddaughter-in-law? Really?”

Peter said, "Of course! Why would | lie to you?"

The nurse was so excited that she put her meal aside and dashed off. Anna was sure she would tell everyone about the gossip. Anna was resigned, but she knew she couldn't explain it because it was true.

Then she handed a spoon to Peter and said, "Time for dinner! | think the food here is awful, and it will only get worse as it became cold. So, you should eat it while it's still hot."

Peter said, "I'm an old man now, so | don't care about what | eat. | just don't want to stay in the hospital anymore."

"You're sick, so you'll have to see a doctor. Nobody would have sent you to the hospital if you were healthy.”

"I'm not too sick, and I'll feel better after | have some medicine."

Anna handed Peter the soup bowl and said, "Don't lie to me. Have some tomato soup. | remember how much you enjoy it.”

Peter nodded and asked, "Have you eaten anything yet? I can eat on 421 Peter's Wish my own."

“I'm now your doctor, and the hospital requires that I be present when you eat.”
