530 I Miss You

Anna and Patrick returned to the hospital after lunch while Wayne went home alone. On the way back, Wayne received a call from Maria

“Is Anna there? | called her several times, but she didn't return my calls." She asked.

"When did you call her?"

"About an hour ago.”

Wayne realized Anna was in the lab at that moment. He said, "She was in the laboratory at the time, and there was no signal. What happened?”

"Something happened to Matthew," Maria said.

Shocked, Wayne slammed on the brakes immediately. He clutched the steering wheel tightly, feeling worried.

"Are you all right?" In a panic, Maria asked.

“I'm fine. How is Matthew doing?"

"His arm had three stitches. | took him back to the hotel after the doctor treated his wounds. | advised him to rest for a while, but he didn't listen to me. He's working in his room right now.”

Wayne clenched his fist around his phone, saying a bit anxiously, "Don't tell Anna about it, please. I'll get there as soon as possible. Could you gather information about this project and email it to me?"

"Sure." Maria exhaled a sigh of relief after telling Wayne of this.

After hanging up the phone, Wayne pulled over to the side of the road. He thought to himself, Matthew's been through a lot since he was a kid, and this must be very painful for him. Actually, | didn't want Matthew 529 Miss You

to be in charge of the entire company at such a young age. However, I have no choice. Gosh... | used to dream that Matthew and Tammy would live a carefree life and do whatever they want, and/ didn't want to make

Matthew take over our family business. But the cruel fact is, | have no choice but to do so because tons of people are coveting our family business. If! hadn't raised Matthew to become a competent heir, those vultures might've taken everything we have, and worse still, they might've hurt Matthew and Tammy. | can't let that happen!

At the same time, Anna and Patrick both went back to the hospital. After lunch, Anna had been feeling uneasy She walked absentmindedly to her office after leaving a patient's room.

"Anna, what's wrong? Do you want to take some time off?" Nancy asked.

Anna nodded. She didn't have to work the night shift tonight, so she was free to leave work as usual today. As Ryan had gotten some clues about Isabella's whereabouts, she planned to go to Wright's house in the evening and ask him about the clues in detail.

With an evil smile, Nancy said, "I heard you took Patrick out at noon, by the way. Where have you two been?"

"Why are you asking me that? Nancy, don't look at me like that. We just have a regular lunch together. That's it," Anna responded.

| was just asking. Why so serious? Patrick couldn't possibly do anything to you with Wayne around.”

Anna couldn't understand Nancy because she was suffering from a headache. She said, "Stop the nonsense, okay? | have to go to work now. Bye."

After saying this, Anna returned to her office and shut Nancy out of

the door, Her phone abruptly rang, and she was surprised to find that it was Wayne calling.

"Hello?" Anna said.

"Honey, are you busy right now?" Wayne's voice sounded drained

Anna immediately dropped the notebook on the table, asking, "What's the matter?’’

"Nothing, | miss you."

Anna's heart began to race. She said, with a sheepish smile, "I'm not working late tonight, so I'll come back home early today. I'll make you your favorite shrimp."

Wayne laughed and asked, "Did you say that on purpose? Actually, I'm not going to be home for dinner tonight.”

Surprised, Anna asked, "You're not having dinner at home tonight? Where are you going? Why didn't you tell me when we met for lunch?"

"Iwas bored at home, so | decided to see Matthew.”
