Me Before You novel Chapter 3

After leaving Claire’s house Anna took a bus to the suburb of Haicheng. The bus stopped in front of a villa. Anna got off and walked towards the entrance of a villa. During her summer vacation, she worked at this villa. The owner of the villa was a crippled man. Anna was a servant here for nearly two months and only met him twice or thrice.

She entered the villa and was about to sweep the floor and clean the table, but she heard a loud noise from the corner of the stairs.

Anna was scared. She looked up and saw a man lying on the ground and behind him was an overturned wheelchair.

Anna hurriedly went up to help him. Although she just met him a few times, but when she saw the wheelchair, she thought that this man must be the owner of the villa.

But as Anna came closer to the man, he said coldly, "Don't come here." He didn’t like being touched.

Anna was stunned, and her hand stopped in the air. "Sir, are you ok?"

The man carefully propped his hand on the floor and tried to get back into the wheelchair. However, a pair of weak legs made him fall back to the floor. He hammered his leg hard; his eyes were filled with disgust.

Anna can't just stand and watch, regardless of the man's order she reached out to help him get back to the wheelchair.

Daniel Taylor only felt a faint fragrance running into the tip of his nose. The girl's soft hand touched his shoulders and helped him to sit back at the wheelchair. He wanted to get angry, but after seeing the innocent smile on the girl's face, his anger suddenly disappeared.

"Sir, how did you fall?"

Daniel Taylor heard the question, shook his head and said nothing.

Anna felt that he was very lonely, and her heart fell inexplicably sour to see that. She kept talking with him and told him several jokes to make him happy. Daniel Taylor didn't laugh, but his eyes were full of tenderness.
