Wayne called Gabe after finishing the video and said, “Cancel all my trips for the next few days and buy me a ticket for tomorrow.” Sure. Where are you going?”
“To New York.”
Anna barely slept that night. As a result, she had to admit that she couldn’t sleep without Wayne by her side.
Early the next morning, Anna went to the nursing home with many things.
When Peace saw Anna, she screamed and jumped out of bed. She yelled, “Ah! My favorite potato chips!” She then wrapped her arms around Anna’s neck.
Anna coughed a few times before saying, “God! Did you miss me or the snacks more?”
“I can’t even find these chips in America!” Peace took the little snacks Anna had brought from England cheerfully, then invited her to sit by the window.
“Anna, you are the best!” She said with a smile.
Anna winked and said thoughtiully, “Karl will buy you snacks if you ask him to. Are you worried that your future mother-in-law will find out about it?”
Peace shook her head, “No! No! He’s used to expensive food, so | think he might not know what I want.”
Anna didn’t want to argue with her about such trivial matters, so she said, “Fine. The good thing is, you can finally have your rice pudding now. What did the doctor say about your condition?” Peace smiled cheerfully and said, “He said I’m doing fine. If my condition does not get worse, | should be able to leave the hospital and return home within a few days. I’ll be just in time for your wedding.”
“Really? That’s fantastic!”
“Look, I have the wedding dress and bridesmaids’ dresses all designed,” Peace said, pulling a sketchbook from a drawer in a nearby cabinet. “Brilliant! Let me take a look.” Anna couldn’t wait to see it. Like most girls, Anna was looking forward to her wedding and hoping to wear the most beautiful wedding dress.
Anna slowly looked up and stared at Peace after flipping through a few pages, “Peace, are these my wedding dresses?”
On those drafts, there were dresses of various styles and colors, but they were all bridesmaid dresses. Anna was disappointed to discover that there was not a single wedding gown.
Peace blinked and defended herself, “To be honest, all wedding gowns are the same. Right now, I could draw you one in five minutes. A nice bridesmaid dress, on the other hand, is difficult to find.”
“Honey, you’re a bridesmaid! You should put on a stupid rag sol can be the most beautiful woman in the room.” Saying that, Anna pinched and rubbed her face.
“Ah! I’m sorry!” Peace yelled. Peace then let go of Anna’s hand and struggled to take out a thicker sketchbook from the cushion she was sitting on. “Here,” she said as she handed the notebook to Anna, rubbing her face.
Anna didn’t seem convinced. “If this one is full of best man’s clothes, I’ll rip your mouth off,” she said as she flipped open the book.
Peace sighed and said, “Whatever! Do you have any idea how much one of my designs is worth?”
Anna had already opened her sketchbook at that point. The designs on the first page took her breath away. The gowns were made of satin and were extremely elegant. Peace had created six wedding gowns and twelve dance gowns for her.
“I figure you’ll have a wedding at home and another one abroad. So, you need to prepare at least three wedding dresses, and a backup one. You can choose four out of these six dresses. Well, you can choose a few more dresses because you will be dancing a lot.”
Peace had always enjoyed joking with people. So, when she became serious, Anna was taken aback. Deeply moved, tears welled up in Anna’s eyes.
*****
Peace knew Anna was about to cry, so she laughed and said, “Oh, my goodness! You’re not going to cry, are you? Really? Will you kneel for me if!
show you the wedding gown when it’s finished?”
Anna glared at her and said, “Damn! | certainly would not!”
“Ijust have one request,” Peace said, rubbing her nose and smiling, “I have to be the only maid of honor.”
“L only have two bridesmaids in total, you and Mona. Yeah, I’ll make you maid of honor, of course.”
Peace tilted her head and said, “I want to be the maid of honor! And I don’t want to wear the same dress as her. I want to wear my own design, and don’t care what she wears. You can get one for her at Target or whatever. Everyone will know I’m your best friend this way.” When Anna realized Peace was jealous, she laughed. She teased her by saying, “You don’t like Mona? Why? | gett; it must be because of Andrew.”
Peace rolled her eyes and grimaced as she said, “No! It has nothing to do with me! | knew she is Andrew’s apprentice.”
“Oh, you don’t mind if Mona and | are friends?”
“No!”
“You’re bothered by the fact that my kids both like Mona.”
Peace was pissed off and glared at Anna, “No! Will you please stop talking? | need to get out of the hospital as soon as possible!” Anna burst out laughing and exclaimed, “I understand! You were really worried about that. You’re afraid that things will change too much once ‘ you’re discharged from the hospital, so you’re suddenly cooperating with the doctors. You just want to get out of here as soon as possible.”
Peace denied it, “No! Stop i
Anna knew she was right, but she didn’t say anything else.
Peace promised Anna that if she went to the United States, she would cooperate with her treatment. However, when the doctor asked her about her past, she remained silent. Karl was worried because she had been like this for two months and had called Anna to ask her to do something about it.
After that, whenever Peace called, she didn’t say much to her. So, Anna frequently praised Mona, making Peace envious and in crisis. Peace was more concerned with her friends and loved ones today than the traumatizing experience in her past. Therefore, even if it was a very painful thing to tell the past, she was willing to suffer.
Once she could be open about the pain of the past, the doctor had a Way to treat her. That way, they made a lot of progress. Around noon, Karl returned to Peace’s ward, and the three ate a dreadful nutritious meal inside the ward. After the nurse left, Anna immediately took a bottle of chili sauce from the cupboard.
I can see why you keep calling and asking me to bring you some chili sauce and seasoning. The food here is disgusting!” Anna exclaimed. Peace said anxiously, “Anna, save some for me! | still need to be here fora month!”
“Are you allowed to eat this?” Anna asked suspiciously.
Karl snatched the bottle from Anna’s grasp and said thoughtfully, “No!
