Me Before You novel Chapter 6

The next morning, Anna Stark packed her things and was ready to move to Daniel Taylor's villa. When she opened the door, she found that the door was locked from the outside. She couldn't open it. Anna Stark grasped the doorknob and beat the door hard.

"Open the door! Open the door!"

"I will open it if you listen to me.” The voice of her mother came from outside.

Anna Stark was beating the door. She was extremely disappointed, "Mom! I'm your daughter. How can you do this to me?"

"Anna, mother is doing this for your good. You have to do this marriage. When you promise to behave obediently, I will open this door for you." She said and turned away.

Anna Stark's heart was cold. She never thought that her parents would treat her like this. Her parents always asked her to give her things to her brother. They always thought about their son.

Her relationship with her brother was good. Until now, she has realized that she had been living in a patriarchal family. She leaned against the door quietly. It was a cruel act by them to lock her in the room. They not only locked her in the room but also didn’t provide her anything to eat or drink.

Anna Stark didn't want to beg. She was lying on the bed and kept laying there for the whole day. Her stomach was empty. She was having hunger pangs. She put her hand on her stomach and her head was a little dizzy. Her head was full of sweat.

Somehow, at that moment, she thought of John Peter. Thinking about their favorite places and their best time, her heart ached.

Her vision began to blur...

...

She didn't know for how long she was lying there unconsciously until she woke up and finds herself lying on a soft big bed. She looked at the ceiling, which was obviously much more gorgeous than her room. She was in a trance.

She sat up. She was dizzy and hungry. She looked around and couldn't guess the place.

After a moment, the door opened. Anna looked at him and was stunned, "Sir!"

It's Daniel Taylor!

Daniel Taylor was pushing his wheelchair, and Jack Smith was following him.

After seeing that Anna Stark was awake, Daniel Taylor turned his wheelchair close to Anna Stark's bed. He asked Jack Smith to hand over the hot and humid towel and then carefully wiped Anna Stark's hands. Anna Stark felt the touch of the warm towel on the palm of his hand and her heartfelt warmth.

"Sir, did you take me out? Thank you!" she thanked him.

Daniel Taylor heard the words and said seriously, "Why don't you go to see a doctor when you are ill?"

Anna Stark was shocked. She can't say that she couldn't go to the doctor because she was locked in the room by her mother. She can only pretend that she didn't care, "It's just a little cold, nothing serious."

"You are already eighteen years old. You should learn to take care of yourself." Daniel Taylor was obviously not satisfied with the answer. He looked at Anna Stark with full disapproval.

Anna Stark smiled.

She knew that Daniel Taylor was concerned about her, so she said, "Okay, I will take care. Thank you, Sir!"
