When Wayne left the dorm, it was already one o'clock in the morning
With a mask on his face and a flashlight in his hand, he walked toward the hospital. A few minutes later, he arrived at the doctor's office
Because the hospital was built in an emergency following the outbreak, it was small and simple. It was a single-story house divided into three ward areas for mild, moderate, and severe patients. The doctor's office was directly across from the wards
At that moment, the hospital was deafeningly quiet. Some wards had lights on, and some patients occasionally moaned in pain. Wayne was upset when he realized that Anna needed to work there every day from now on. For amoment, he wanted to ask Anna to go back to England with him. But on second thought, he perished the thought
Anna is a doctor, and it's herjob to save people's lives. Also, it has always been her dream to help those in need. | don’t want to stop her from realizing her dream. And | need to stay by her side when she needs me, just like what she did for me in the past. Wayne reasoned to himself
As he approached the office, he noticed two rooms had lights on. And he was relieved because he assumed that Anna and Patrick would be in different rooms. But to his surprise, no one was in the first office. Later, Wayne discovered two people inside the second office after opening the door
Dressed in a white coat, Anna was sleeping on a makeshift bed in the office. Patrick, the last person Wayne expected to see, was sitting by the

After that, Wayne leaned down and gently picked up Anna. The moment he touched her, Anna opened her eyes. When she realized Wayne was holding her, she muttered, "Did | fall asleep?"
"Yes. Come on, honey, let me take you to your room," Wayne said
Slightly nodding, Anna wrapped her arms around Wayne’s waist and dozed off in his arms. She snored while breathing steadily. Earlier, Anna came to the hospital as soon as she stepped off the plane, so she was really
exhausted
After carrying her back to the dorm, Wayne took her to the bathroom, bathed her and helped her change into her pajamas. During the period of time, Anna was sound asleep like a baby. And Wayne couldn't help but sigh
seeing her so worn out
When he stopped sighing, Wayne laid Anna on the bed gently. He then
lay beside her and held her close. The instant he spotted her phone, he unlocked it and turned off the alarm clock. Gently stroking her hair, Wayne thought, You're a doctor, but you're also a human, Anna. If you don’t get enough rest, you won't be able to work more effectively and you might make mistakes when treating the patients. So, get some rest, honey. You really need a decent rest
The next morning, Anna awoke at ten o'clock, which was much later than usual. She had a good night's sleep and was energetic when she awoke. She didn’t realize she was late for work until she checked her
