“I don’t plan to get married for the time being,” After thinking for a while, Wayne answered coldly.
Hearing his answer, the hope that Ada had just gathered died down. She then said, “It’s getting late. I should leave now.”
Later, Ada walked out of the villa and entered a car unhappily. As soon as she fastened her seat belt, Ada ordered, “Drive.”
After the car left the high-end villa complex, the driver said, “Miss, everything went as planned until the new hotel manager ruined it.”
“It’s okay,” Ada put on a vicious smile and said, “It would be worse if the boy was killed. It’s better this way. Wayne would be more worried and take marrying me more seriously in this way.”
“Then the kid…”
“Don’t do anything to him for now. There will be other opportunities,” Ada said dismissively as she was looking at her newly manicured nails. Then she uttered, “Tell Gabe that I’ll go visit Matthew these days. Prepare some goodies that kids like for me.”
“Yes, Miss.”
***In the hospital, Anna was awakened by the intense pain when she moved her arm.
“Mommy, you’re awake!” Tammy held her uninjured arm with her eyes reddened, exclaiming,“Mommy, you really scared me!”
Anna paused and then recalled that she was injured after saving Matthew. Afterwards, she was taken to the hospital. But she didn’t know how come her daughter was there.
“Tammy, how did you get here? Did I fall asleep for a long time?”
“You tell me!” Wiping her tears, Tammy said a bit sobbingly, “I called you earlier but your assistant answered it. She said you were at the hospital. I was so worried! So, I asked her to pick me up from kindergarten and drive me to the hospital to see you.”
Hearing Tammy’s words, Anna felt both touched and guilty. She apologized, “I’m sorry that I made you worry, honey.”
“You taught me to take care of myself before taking care of others. What if you were hit in the head?” Tammy pouted, “I’m still depending on you to raise me. If you die, my life will be miserable.”
Anna was amused by what Tammy said and retorted, “Is that what you’re worried about?”
“Of course!” Tammy folded her arms and said, “Where else can you find a cute and smart daughter like me?”
“Okay, okay, you’re my precious girl.” Anna smiled. Then someone knocked on the door.
“Come in.” Anna looked towards the door and replied.
“Ms. Gabriel,” A middle-aged man entered with two large bags of health supplements. It was the butler who took care of Matthew.
“My master ordered me to bring you these health supplements. You have a fracture and these supplements are good for bone regeneration. Also, my master sends his gratitude. He sent Matthew home so he could not wait for you to wake up. Please accept his apologies.”
“Oh, thanks,” Anna said. She looked at the bags and saw that there were lots of expensive health supplements that amounted to thousands of dollars.
“These are just a small token of appreciation. Master also said that since you’re injured, you don’t need to go to work until you’ve fully recovered. You will still be paid during this period.”
Hearing that, Anna remarked, “I don’t need to work?” Who’s your master? How did he manage to arrange for my sick leave?
With many questions in her head, Anna asked, “Could you tell me who your master is?”
