"Deal." Anya didn't linger much longer after Phil agreed to take care of their daughter, but got up from her chair and got ready to go.
She didn't stay too long, though she was reluctant to leave.
She wanted to have a good look at him and talk to him. She wanted to ask him if he was okay and if his wounds still hurt. She wanted to ask him why he protected her in the first place when a shot was fired.
But it didn't seem appropriate to talk about this now judging from his attitude towards her.
Anya stood up from the chair, took a breath, then headed towards the ward door without looking back.
Phil did not stop Anya, but his eyes, which were fixed on her, betrayed his true feelings.
He was also eager to have a good look at Anya. He could tell she looked good but was much thinner than before after some observations.
It made him very distressed.
She was now in the month of confinement and needed nutrition, and he believed that Emelia and Maisie would take good care of her. But she was still very thin, definitely because she was affected by negative emotions.
She didn't have an appetite, so of course, she would lose weight.
Anya suddenly paused after walking to the door. She turned back and said, "After our daughter is discharged from the hospital, you take her home. Let's meet each other less."
Phil frowned at her. His intuition told him that she was going to say something unpleasant.
Anya smiled and said, "I'm a single, young girl without a baby around, and I can enjoy my life as much as I want. If we see each other a lot, I'm afraid that all the handsome guys around me will stay away from me."
Phil was sulking at these words.
'She left their daughter to me for her own enjoyment?'
'Now she told the truth?'
'Just now she said she was busy with her studies and afraid of not being able to take good care of the baby, didn't she?'
'But then she claimed she wanted to enjoy herself as a single, young girl? Handsome guys?'
Thinking of this, Phil couldn't help but shout, "Anya!"
However, Anya had foreseen it and she rushed out of the ward when he shouted, leaving him with a dashing figure. Phil got so angry that he breathed heavily.
She really knew how to piss him off.
He wanted to go back on his word, but his thoughts took precedence over jealousy.
It was a good thing for her to have their daughter in his care.
At least she didn't have to be so exhausted and she could focus on her studies.
And handsome guys could never get close to her as long as he and their daughter were still in Ustistan.
He was the one who decided to break up, so he wouldn't be possessive towards her anymore. But he didn't want to see her flirting with other men when he stayed in Ustistan to take care of the baby.
Anya left the ward and went back with Emelia and Maisie. Neither of them wanted her to stay out too long as she just gave birth, and since she had made it clear to Phil, she should go home.
However, before they left, Emelia and Maisie escorted Anya to the ICU of the hospital, where Anya wanted to see her daughter.
