As he spoke, the doctor handed Anna a white handkerchief and said, “Here you go. This is a brand-new one”
Anna thanked him and wiped the sweat from her face with the handkerchief, explaining, “I drove a seriously injured person here, then | stopped by to help.”
Really? But | think you are very professional. Are you a medical student?”
Anna appeared to be younger than her actual age. She was dressed in a pink coat and had tied her hair in a ponytail to make it easier to move around. As a result, she looked like she was a college student.
She shook her head, recalling what had happened. “No, I’m not,” she said.
The doctor insisted, “No, I’m sure you’re a medical student! You did it professionally, and you were able to identify the patient’s injuries. So, I’m guessing you’re a medical student or a doctor. In what hospital do you work? Well, it doesn’t matter, but I’m curious.”
Anna was irritated and said, “I’m not even a medical student! They should have sent over the injured by now, so | should go. It’s time for you to start working,”
The doctor then jumped out of the ambulance. He’d only taken a few steps when he returned and asked, “May I have your phone number?”
Before Anna could say anything, she heard a man behind her say, Anna, I’ve been looking for you for a long time. Let’s go home.”
The doctor froze. When he turned around, he saw a tall man standing 318 We Need to Talk, Anna behind him. Even though the man was some distance away, he could still feel his compelling aura.
He realized that a beautiful and kind woman like Anna couldn’t possibly be available anymore. He sighed in frustration as he entered the hospital.
Anna had been standing at the ambulance’s back door. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw Wayne and immediately stood up straight. She hadn’t expected Wayne to be here, so she was taken aback by his presence
“What exactly are you doing here?” She asked, surprised.
Wayne approached her. “Let’s go home, take a shower, and have dinner,” he said without further explanation.
Anna nodded as she looked down at the blood stain on her jacket. They remained silent on the cab ride home, not even mentioning their big fight.
When Anna got home, she went straight to the bathroom. Her coat still smelled like hospital sterile water and blood, but her rose-scented body wash had covered it up.
Anna remained in a trance as the warm water rinsed the foam from her back.
After finishing taking a shower, Anna opened the bathroom door and she smelled the delicious scent of dinner. She froze for a moment before walking out of the bedroom, towelling off her hair.
She was surprised when she saw the table piled with food.
“Let’s have dinner, Anna.” Wayne brought two bowls from the kitchen and placed a bowl of soup in front of Anna.
Anna looked at the wall clock and saw it was twelve o’clock. “Are we 318 We Need to Talk, Anna having a midnight snack?” she asked, perplexed.
“Yes, we are. You must be starving now, right?” Wayne asked, handing her a fork.
“How did you know?” Anna asked, lowering her head to sip her soup.
“Mona told me.”
Anna frowned and asked, “Huh? Did she even tell you that? What else did she say to you?”
“She also said that the deceased lady in the ward was not you.”
Anna froze and slowly raised her head.
Wayne’s eyes were red, but she didn’t notice because the light was dim, and he kept his head down. He appeared tired and haggard as if he hadn’t slept in a long time.
“What exactly is going on?” She asked, perplexed. Then she started speculating about what had happened while she was volunteering to help the injured back then.
Wayne exhaled deeply and said, “Let’s just eat, Anna. We’ll talk about that later.”
“About what?” conversation wouldn’t be pleasant.
