"I just called you, but you didn't answer. So, I came straight here.” Wayne said, looking slightly exhausted,

Hearing that, Wayne frowned and said, "Then I'd better pick her up the next morning.”

Anna could tell what he was thinking. She thought, Wayne, you didn't have to come here to pick up Natalie because there are plenty of maids and drivers that you can order to do so.

Wayne looked disappointed by the fact that she was leaving. He nodded, then opened the car door. The cold wind was blowing, and he suddenly coughed violently. He appeared to be so uncomfortable that he blushed.

Immediately after hearing Wayne's coughing, Anna stopped and looked at him worriedly. "Wayne, are you all right? It has been raining heavily for several days, and it’s freezing.

"Okay, thank you." Wayne nodded and said. At the same time, his eyes were dazzling with rays of hope. He thought, Anna, you still care about me! Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked me to stay at your house and offered to take care of me. Does it mean that | still have a chance to be with you? Ifso, I must seize the opportunity to get you back!

Wayne had been to her apartment before. He had mixed feelings when he saw Tammy's shoes on the shoe rack by the door. He thought, Anna, everything would've been different if! hadn't said those hurtful words to you and put you in danger so many times before. Ifit were the case, | would've been able to witness how Tammy grew into a teenager and

I would always be there for her when she needed me. And you would've got to accompany Matthew. Sadly, there is no what if

The couch wasn't very big and appeared to be a little small compared to Wayne's tall figure. It was not a good place for him to sleep. He did, however, sleep deeply and made a slight snoring sound. The fever made this tough man appear vulnerable, which was unusual.

Anna stared at him in a daze for a few moments, her heart breaking. She thought, Wayne, get well soon. Tammy will be sad if she sees you like this. Much as she wanted to accompany him for a while longer, in the end, she didn't do so. She then returned to her bedroom, took a blanket, and carefully wrapped it around him.
