Chapter 144 Coming Back for Her
Anaya wore a thin beige coal so that no one could see the gauze. Anaya felt that blood was beginning to seep through the bandages, though not the coat yet. But later, people might see blood soaking through her coat.
Hearing her gasp, Joshua remembered that Anaya had injured her shoulder. Joshua quickly let go of her and asked with concern, “Did I touch your wound? Sorry, I‘ll take you to the hospital...”
“It‘s none of your business.”
Joshua pauscd.
Anaya said without looking at him, “You were still blaming me just now. And now you pretend to be nice to me. You probably want it to be even more painful in your heart.”
Joshua opened his mouth and was about to defend himself.
But Anaya left, preventing him from doing that
Joshua felt so depressed but couldn‘t give full vent to his feelings.
Lexie got up, walked to Joshua, pulled him on his sleeve, and murmured, “Joshua, I‘m so sorry for causing trouble to you and Anaya...”
Joshua tried to suppress his emotions and comforted Lexie softly, “You don‘t have to apologize. It was Anaya who should apologize to you.”
However, Joshua didn‘t say that he would ask Anaya to pay for it. It was just a small comfort that meant nothing to Lexie.
Lexie gritted her teeth.
In the past, Joshua would definitely ask whoever had wronged her to pay for it at all costs. But this time, clearly, Joshua was going to let Anaya get away with it.
Lexie could feel that Anaya was getting more and more important in Joshua‘s heart.
This was a piece of bad news for Lexie.
Lexie had thought that she would sooner or later become Joshua‘s wife, so she hadn‘t urged Joshua to marry her.
But now, Lexie realized that she might have been too conceited.
So far, all Lexie could count on was Joshua‘s love for her which might disappear someday, and the fact that she had saved him.
Once Joshua fell in love with Anaya, Lexie could do nothing about it but see Joshua marrying Anaya again.
Lexie must do something to get married to Joshua as soon as possible.
Only when she became Joshua‘s wife could she be at ease.
Anaya walked to the gate and Martin was already waiting there.
Whiy did it take you so long to...” Martin asked with a serious expression when he saw the dried blood on Anaya‘s coat, “Are you hurt?”
Anaya was hurt when she was with him. Martin was afraid of what Hearst might do to him if Hearst knew it. Hearst
must be so mad at Martin.
There was sweat on Anaya‘s forehead, but she said as calmly as usual, “It‘s an old injury with dehiscence. Shall we
delay the meal?”
“I‘ll take you to the hospital.”
Anaya did not refuse.
Anaya could not drive with a wounded shoulder
Martin brought Anaya to the nearest hospital.
Anaya followed the doctor into the room to treat her wound, Martin went to the end of the corridor and called Hearst.
Hearst was probably busy now. Martin waited for a while until Hearst picked up the phone.
“What‘s the matter?”
“Anaya accidentally had a wound dehiscence just now.”
“Beep, beep...”
Before Martin could finish his words, Hearst hung up the phone.
Just as Martin was about to call back, he heard Anaya‘s phone ring from the ward.
Martin was speechless.
Now Martin knew how much Hearst cared about Anaya.
Anaya took out her phone and took a look. It was an overseas number.
She thought it must be a scam call and hung up.
Martin called after being hung up over and over again. The doctor was a little annoyed and said, “How about you answer the call? If you like, you can curse at this liar.”
Anaya didn‘t know whether to laugh or cry.
The doctor was a little irritable.
Anaya picked up the phone and heard a man asking calmly in a low voice, “Are you at the hospital now?”
Anaya was slightly surprised and swallowed back the mean words that she was about to say, “Yeah, how did you know...”
Anaya quickly understood. “You know Martin.”
Hearst admitted directly, “Yes.”
Anaya suddenly remembered that Martin had bid for the jade for his “friend“,
Was Martin buying it for Hearst as a present for her?
Anaya thought it was a wild guess.
Some ladies might be so attractive that a man would fall in love with them after meeting them several times and spend a lot of money to please them. But Anaya knew that she was not one of them.
“Why are you using an overseas number?”
