Anna froze and asked, “Is Ryan really your name?”
The boy raised his head. His face was pale, and his forehead was streaked with fine beads of sweat. Then, with a reluctant nod, he said, “Yes.”
“What’s your last name?” She asked again.
The boy shook his head.
Anna patted the back of his hand, afraid that he would become distressed again by thinking about things.
She said, “Forget about it, Ryan, since you remembered your name, I’ll try to help you find your family.”
If Ryan is a college student, it will be troublesome. Since the summer break is approaching, the school usually doesn’t care about the missing students. I have to look for his parents by myself.
A week later, the Blue Castle kindergarten was closed for the summer.
Anna went to the kindergarten for the final parent-teacher conference, and to her surprise, she met Wayne and Matthew.
As soon as he saw Anna, Matthew ran over to her and hugged her leg. Although he didn’t say anything, the joyful expression on his little face showed that he was more than happy.
Since they spent the night in Laxis Town, Anna and Wayne’s relationship has eased. They made a truce, and their work and life were back to normal. So, to others, it seemed that everything was getting back on track.
But only they knew clearly that they each had thoughts in their mind. “Mommy, I want to go over to Matthew’s house for the summer, is that okay?” Tammy tugged on Anna’s sleeve and brought her back to her senses.
Anna answered without hesitation, “Yes, sure.”
“Really?” Tammy had prepared a lot of sweet words to praise Anna, but she didn’t expect her to say yes so quickly.
Seeing that Anna agreed without hesitation, Tammy thought that it was still possible for Anna and Wayne to be together.
Matthew was so happy that he laughed out loud.
“I have to go to work. Is it okay if Tammy stays at your house for a while? The two kids can play together.” Anna looked at Wayne and asked with a calm expression.
Wayne smiled and said frankly, “Sure. And I don’t mind if you stay at my house too. That way. you can take care of your daughter.”
“Me? No, thanks.” Anna whispered somewhat awkwardly
She did it for a reason. She wanted Tammy and Matthew to get along well since they were siblings They didn’t know each other’s identities, but she felt comforted watching them get along
“Did you find a place to live?” Wayne asked, changing the subject very naturally as if he didn’t want to continue talking about the ‘joke’ he had just made.
“Yes. I’m going to the hospital later to pick up Ryan and let him move in with me.”
Allie had called her out of the blue a couple of days ago and told her that she was giving the house in Golden Ocean Community back to her.
Allie also told her not to come home to pick a fight again on account of the house. Anna ignored her then and was surprised to see the keys to that house in the mailbox at Peace Brooks’ place the next day.
“You’re going to let him live with you?” Wayne asked, his eyes turning sombre.
“The doctor said he doesn’t need to stay in the hospital anymore, and I haven’t found out what school he’s from yet, so I’ll have to take him home for now.”
“No. Anna, don’t you think it’s very strange to have a grown man living in your house?” Wayne said in a cold voice.
It‘s not just weird; it‘s ridiculous! What was she thinking? He thought.
Anna shrugged and said, “Well, there’s nothing I can do about it. I can’t just send him to a welfare house, can I? What if something happens to him?”
“Then let him stay in the hotel.” Anna was puzzled and asked, “Huh? The hotel? What hotel?”
Wayne looked at her, coughed, and said, “Carousel Hotel. Since the accident happened while you were on a business trip, you should get a room at the hotel for him. This incident had nothing to do with you in the first place, and the hotel will be responsible for it.”
“Is that appropriate? I’m the one who hit the guy.” “If I say it’s ‘appropriate, then it’s appropriate.”
Wayne said as he called Gabe and asked him to arrange a room for Ryan at the hotel.
He was very concise and had the matter settled in less than three minutes, and before Anna knew it, everything was done with the call.
After the parent-teacher conference, Matthew kept staying by Anna’s side. As soon as he heard that Anna was going to the hospital, he kept saying he wanted to go. And Anna had no choice but to agree to let him go with her.
Ryan stayed in the hospital comfortably for a week. He had some panic attacks for the first two days, but he got better. He looked so much like an average person, except that he didn’t talk to people. So, when Wayne saw him this time, he wondered if he was faking his memory loss.
In the hospital, Anna was preparing Ryan’s discharge, and the two children went with her, leaving Wayne and Ryan together in the ward.
“Are you feeling better?” Wayne asked. Ryan nodded and said, “Yes. And I have to thank Anna for taking care of me all this time.”
“I think you are completely well. If so, why do you still stay here?” Wayne’s eyes were a little sharp as if he could see into people’s hearts.
“I haven’t regained my memory.” Ryan said fearlessly.
He looked at Wayne and explained very coherently, “The doctor said that the blood clots inside my brain have not been completely removed. My condition requires Anna to take care of me for a while.”
“How do you need her to take care of you?”
“It seems to have nothing to do with you.”
Wayne looked at him with a look of extreme arrogance and indifference.
“If you need to be taken care of so badly, I’ll find someone to take care of you specifically when I have my assistant arrange a place for you to live.”
Ryan froze and asked, “What do you mean?”
Wayne did not answer him. It happened that Anna came back just at that moment. She pushed open the door and said, “Let’s go. What are you two talking about?”
“I told him that staying at the hotel is better than staying here.”
Wayne got up from the couch, dusted off the dust that didn’t seem to exist, and walked out in stride.
Half an hour later, Ryan was in a suite on the top floor of the Carousel Hotel.
As soon as Ryan saw the hotel, his face immediately changed. He questioned Anna, “Didn’t you say I could stay with you at your house?”
The waiters stood by and watched them. From the look in their eyes, Anna deeply understood what Wayne meant by ‘strange’ earlier. She stroked her hair, trying to hide her embarrassed expression
