After Noel left the office, Matthew calmly surveyed Wayne and asked, âWho was the doctor he just mentioned?â
âStop asking,â Wayne said, irritated.
Matthew set his fork down and inquired, âIs this doctor female? Youâve been getting a lot of scandals lately, so be carefull.â âHuh?
What scandals have you heard?â
Matthew sat straight on the couch. Although he was not tall and obviously a child, he looked very composed. He said, âRachelâs been coming here a lot lately. If you like her, you should take her home and introduce her to Great-grandpa. But if thatâs not the case, donât let them spread this nonsense gossip. Itâs humiliating, in my opinion.â
Wayne was still preoccupied with Noelâs information, so he was taken aback when he heard Matthew say that. He said, frowning, âWhat are you talking about?â
Matthew got to his feet and said, âYouâre no longer young, and youâre not the same person you once were. This type of gossip is ridiculous. Iâm not the kid | used to be, so I donât care if you marry or not.â
Matthew then walked out of the office. Wayne stared at his back in surprise, unable to speak. He had raised Matthew for over ten years. Even though Matthew chose Wayne over Anna, he still missed his mother terribly.
Matthew would become enraged when it came to Wayneâs relationship. And he even threw a fit a few years ago when someone tried to set up a blind date for Wayne. 407 | Want You to Patch Me Up Previously, Wayne believed this was a big deal because it would save him a lot of trouble. But Matthew was wrong this time because that doctor was his mother.
The medical examination resumed after the lunch break. During lunch, Joshua kept asking Anna different kinds of questions about Nancy, giving Anna a headache. In the afternoon, she almost made a mistake at work.
The crowd thinned out after a while. âDr. Gabriel, Mr. Wright would like you to come to his office,â Noel approached Anna and said to her. Anna was irritated. However, due to many people present, she was forced to say calmly, âIâm sorry, I canât go. If he needs anything, he can simply ask the hospital administration. What makes him want to see me?â
Noel seemed to know she would say that, and he replied, âHe said you were the one who dressed his wound before. He thought since you were here, it would be a good time for you to change his bandages. Mr. Wight is so busy that he doesnât have time to go to the hospital to address his wound.â
Hearing Noelâs words, several nurses nearby widened their eyes and became excited. âSince he asked you to go, you should go now,â one of Annaâs coworkers suggested.
Annaâs closest colleague gently pinched her arm and said, âAnna, this is a great opportunity!â
Everyone was staring at her, so Anna had no choice but to go to the office with Noel. It was late afternoon, and the office was bright. The decor there was identical to before.
âOf all the nurses and doctors in this city, why do you have to ask me 407 | Want You to Patch Me Up to bandage you?â Anna grumbled as she entered the office.
Wayne was getting a bottle of juice out of the fridge at that moment. He turned back and said, âAllâm asking is that you change my bandage. Will you do that for me?â
âI could, but I donât want to.â
âFine. Then my wound will become infected and rotten, and Iâll return to your hospital to have you dress me.â
Anna asked angrily, âWhatâs wrong with you? Our hospital is not a nightclub, and you canât just see whoever you want to see!â
Wayne ignored her and just asked, âJuice?â
Anna became frustrated and then closed her mouth.
Wayneâs wound had become infected and was in bad condition. Luckily, Anna had already changed his bandage the day before.
He seemed to know sheâd come there, so he kept a medical kit in his office in advance.
Anna bandaged his arm and warned him, âYou have to go to the hospital tomorrow to treat your wound until the doctor tells you to stop. Your arm will rot otherwise.â
Wayne put on his shirt and used one hand to fasten the buttons on his chest. His muscles bulged out of the shirt. After that, he turned to Anna and said, âI donât have time to see the doctor. Why donât you start coming here every day tomorrow? Iâll pay you.â
âWhat are you thinking? You donât have time, and neither do I. Even if | have the time, why should | come? Am | your nanny or your doctor?
Wayne responded, âYou are my sonâs mother. Your son will be an orphan if I die from an infected wound.â
Anna shook her head and said, âStop talking nonsense! You donât 407 | Want You to Patch Me Up need to threaten me in that way!â Looking at her with his burning eyes, Wayne refused to back down and said, âIn any case, Iâm not going to the hospital. Itis entirely up to me Whether Igo to the hospital or not, and you canât make the decisions for me.â
Hearing this, Anna gritted her teeth in anger and asked, âHow did you become like this? | remember that you hated being threatened with kids five years ago!â
Wayne was dazed. He looked at Anne and said, âFive years is a long time, and people change.â His words were loaded with meaning, and he looked at Anna tenderly.
âIt doesnât matter, Iâm not coming,â Anna said, lowering her head. She had never seen anyone threaten someoneâs health and thought it was childish.
Anna then walked away, not even saying goodbye. But Wayne noticed that Anna was flustered when she left.
