577 We're in This Together NS, 577 We're in This Together
Two days later, Anna and Wayne went to Fleosil together. Anna went to the medical team station, while Wayne established a medical company there, specializing in producing hospital supplies such as masks and protective suits. Wayne did this because he genuinely wanted to help Anna's career
The international airport in Fleosil was small and run-down, and the road outside was not even paved with concrete. As Anna and Wayne stepped out of the airport, they noticed a broken Jeep car approaching them. The car appeared to be on its last legs, and it was a miracle it was still running. It then stopped in front of Anna after a slight drift
The back of the car generated a massive cloud of dust. When the dust them vanished, Anna and Wayne finally realized who was sitting in the driver's seat: Patrick. And Patrick was smiling brightly at Anna
After getting off the car, Patrick approached them. He yanked Anna's backpack from her shoulders and slung it over his own back. "Dr. Wright, welcome back," he greeted Anna happily. Meanwhile, Patrick pretended not to notice Wayne, who was apparently wary and disgusted
"We appreciate you coming to get us," Anna said to Patrick politely
"| was worried you wouldn't come back. Did you get everything taken care of?"
"That's fantastic! Camila told me you were in danger at the time. You weren't hurt, were you?" Patrick asked, then began to eye Anna

Seeing that, Wayne set his suitcase down and took Anna's hand to bring her closer to him. He wanted to stop Patrick from looking at Anna that way
"We're all fine, thanks to Camila," Anna didn't want to go into those specifics because they were highly confidential
"Great."
Later, after they walked to the car, Patrick said as he opened the passenger door for Anna, "Dr. Wright, please get in."
Anna looked at Wayne, then at the beat-up car. Because this Jeep only had two seats, one of them needed to sit in the trunk. After hesitating for a while, Anna said, "How about | sit in the trunk?"
Shaking his head, Patrick replied, "Just get in the car, Dr. Wright. You know how rough the roads are here. It's uncomfortable enough to sit in the seat, let alone stand in the trunk. There will be dust and bugs in the air." With a brief pause, Patrick said to Wayne teasingly, "Besides, | don't think Mr. Wright would agree to let you sit in the trunk."
Wayne stared at the young man in front of him as he had no idea what he was thinking. Ofall the women your age in the hospital, why do you have acrush on my wife? She’s ten years older than you and she’s married! Don't you think you should avoid Anna because she's married? Wayne thought
Wayne would not have been offended if Patrick had just had feelings for Anna. However, Patrick seemed very proud about it and wanted the entire world to know he had feelings for Anna. And he was hostile to Wayne and always seemed ready to fight him. As a result, Wayne was terrified of leaving Anna alone in the hospital because he was afraid Patrick would hit on her. And he decided to follow Anna around every day
"Patrick, how about | drive the car? You're a young man, so you won’t

Patrick was surprised when Wayne said that. He wanted to refuse, but he didn't say anything after thinking for a while. He was afraid that Anna would think he was petty if he refused Wayne’s proposal
"I'm your instructor's husband, so you should respect me just as much as you respect her." Wayne continued
