“Don’t regret it,” Wayne said right away.
After that, he raised an eyebrow and called Gabe, saying, “Hey, it’s me. Please cancel all my schedules
for the week. You know Anna’s
corporate office is being renovated, right? Is it possible to find someone to keep an eye on the site?
Please don’t phone me these days
unless it’s an emergency.”
After hearing what Wayne said, Anna even began to doubt her ears.
What? Would Wayne, a workaholic, cancel this week‘s schedule because of a joke I made? Really?
Anna thought to herself.
Anna had been to Wayne’s office before, so she knew he had a lot to deal with every day. Papers
would pile up on Wayne’s desk if he
was out of the office for half a day. So, she could already imagine how many files would be there if he
was gone for a week.
“How much will you tip me for my services, Miss Gabriel?”
It was only when she heard these words that Anna snapped out of her shock. She pretended to accept
the reality calmly and said,
“How about at the current market price?”
“Oh, no. Other nurses won’t sleep with you as I would do.”
Anna glanced at him and asked, “I don’t need you to sleep with me.”
She assumed that was why Wayne wanted to keep her company.
Wayne’s expression didn’t even change as he said, “Well, then consider it a gift to you. I’ll take care of
you and sleep with you this
week.”
Anna thought, I don‘t even need you to take care of me!
It was completely dark after Anna had a physical at the best hospital downtown. Then, Anna signed as
she pressed the swab to her
arm.
Anna felt that she was not seriously injured, but merely burned. Moreover, the doctors in Sea Town had
treated her. So she didn’t
need to be checked for germ infection right now. Wayne had just had her do a full physical checkup just
then.
Before they left the hospital, the doctor said to them, “Please don’t worry. Although the doctor there
simply bandaged Miss
Gabrielle’s wound, she is no longer in danger. You only have to come next week for the test results.”
After receiving the prescription from the doctor, Anna left the hospital with Wayne.
Anna kept glancing out the window at the lights on the way. The hustle and bustle of Birmingham
contrasted sharply with the
simplicity of Sea Town. Anna felt as if she had journeyed through time and space, and she then had
subtle feelings.
“Anna, it’s very late right now. So, do you still want to visit Peace?”
Anna nodded and said, ” Yeah. She once told me that whenever she had an attack, she would sleep
during the day. So, day and night
are basically the same for her. Anyway, I still want to check on her. Besides, you’ll have a chance to
talk to Karl this way.”
I wouldn‘t compel Karl to accept the fact that Peace is sick if he didn‘t want to, Anna thought to herself.
Wayne understood what she meant, and then he nodded and said, “Oh, I’ll tell him what really
happened. But, you know, it’s
entirely up to him to decide what to do next, Anna, is there anything you want to tell him?”
“Oh, I’ll talk to him mysell,” Anna answered, shaking her head.
Karl drove peace to the hospital for a checkup alter she passed out. He then took her home after
bringing her some medication. After
the psychiatrist diagnosed her, he recommended her to stay in the hospital for a while. Karl, on the
other hand, declined it.
As a result, Peace stayed in Karl’s apartment. And Karllelt his work at the Carousel Group to care for
her full-time.
Aller walking through the door, Anna Sawthal Karl hadn’t even shaved. She thought she would have
been shocked if she hadn’t seen
Karl that day at the hospital looking as sloppy as he did.
Karl looked pretty good. When he noticed Anna’s surprised expression, he stroked his chin and
explained, “Sorry, Anna, but I threw
out anything in the house that is dangerous for Peace. So, I don’t even have a chance to shave. Well,
please come in.”
Anna looked at the main bedroom immediately after entering the house and asked, “Is Peace asleep?”
Karl shook his head and replied, “Oh, no, she’s in her room watching TV right now. You can check on
her.”
Anna nodded and stepped into the room, leaving the two men alone.
She was sure that Wayne would think of the worst and tell Karl that there was little hope for him.
Anna felt that the point was not whether Karl could take care of a person with schizophrenia for the rest
of his life. In fact, even if he
would, his parents would not necessarily accept that. Besides, Karl might not be able to convince them.
As Anna closed the bedroom door, she tried not to think about those things for the time being. Then,
she thoughtfully surveyed
Peace, who was crouching on the edge of the bed.,
Peace was actually pretty petite, Anna realized, and she had never noticed it before. She looked like a
little animal in need of help and shelter when she was curled up.
An iPad was playing a Disney movie in front of Peace. She watched the movie intently, and her sharp
eyes became innocent and
naive.
Seeing the softness of her eyes, Anna felt heartbroken and began to panic. She found that Peace’s
eyes were very charming. Besides,
since Karl loved her sincerely and wanted to marry her, he would take care of her as much as he could.
“Peace,” Anna whispered as she was frightened that her voice would be too loud and startle Peace.
Pace cowered for a second before quickly burying her face beneath the covers. It was a long time
before she peeked outside the
covers and looked at Anna. She looked a little puzzled and disoriented.
Anna stood still as she didn’t dare to move around. She tried to explain, “Hey, it’s me, Anna. I’m
Tammy’s mother. Do you
remember Tammy? She’s your goddaughter.”
Peace looked at Anna suspiciously. Then, she seemed to recognize Anna after a long time. She
nodded and said hesitantly in a
hoarse voice, “Anna.”
“Yes, I’m Anna.”
Anna gave a nod. She paused for a moment before pointing to the iPad and asking, “I saw you’re
watching Snow White right now. So,
is it okay if I join you?”
It took a long time for Peace to answer. She paused for a moment before slowly saying, “Yes.”
“You‘re going to live your whole life like this, aren’t you?” Wayne asked Karl aloofly as usual.
Sitting opposite him, Karl laughed and asked, “You don’t think that’s going to work, right? You’ve said
before that I’m not exclusive
and always flirting with women. But, she’s the only woman I’m with right now. I’m never going to be with
anyone else again.”
“You know, I have no right to say anything about your decision. But I want to tell you what you’re in for
as your friend.” Wayne
asked calmly, and Kart was forced to become serious even though he wanted to respond casually.
Karl was well aware that he couldn’t avoid that subject anyway. He scratched his head, then exhaled
slowly. He said, “I’ve already
made my decsion. So, you can talk as much as you want.”
“Karl, you think you’re head over heels in love with her. So, I know you won’t give up on her, But, would
your parents be okay with
you marrying her? Have you talked to them?”
Wayne hit the nail on the head and asked the most realistic and brutal question of all.
Kart had certainly thought about it. When he heard Wayne’s question, he grimaced and responded,
“Oh, I’ll keep that to myself for
the time being. I’d like to tell them that later.”
Wayne continued to ask in a low voice, “How long are you going to wait? You’re going to wait until
Peace becomes lucid?”
