In Anna’s eyes, it was an extravagant hope, but in his eyes, it seemed to be a compulsory thing, a thing he was supposed to do.
Anna looked into his eyes, felt a little nervous and avoided eye contact.
Did she overthink?
She somehow felt as if he had confessed something. He said it so calmly and so seriously. Just in a moment, she felt a sense of security, and her mind thought a lot.
Anna thought of her mother. She was in her forties. She will be 50 years old in a few years. But every day of her life, she had to work hard.
Because her father didn’t make enough money, her mother had to work hard to manage the living expense. There was a time when Anna didn’t work and had no income, it was a time when her father often quarreled with her mother.
Maybe it was the reason that her mother began to make money very seriously!
So, it was a rare thing for her, as a woman, to be able to hear a man saying that - I’ll raise you all my life.

Anna went to sleep again and got up at exactly 12 o’clock.
She took a bath and changed the bedsheet.
Lisa came in from the outside and saw her cleaning the sheets in the washbasin. She hurriedly came over and said, "Anna, why are you washing the sheets? You are ill, you should have a good rest. Let me do this."
"No, it’s okay." Anna was embarrassed. She also found blood on it when she got up. She didn’t want to be seen by the servants, so she picked them up to wash. She said to Lisa, "I’m almost done with it."
Lisa said, "I heard Jack saying that you are ill, you also didn’t go to university. Are you seriously ill?"
"It’s okay. I am much better after taking the medicine." She was only too tired, so she had a fever. She was not really very sick.
Lisa squatted down. "You go and have a rest. I’ll do it."
Lisa was distressed to see that Anna was ill but still doing such things.
Anna said, "I am really fine."
