Anna had no intention of giving the medicine to Patrick before because he was still a student. However, she couldnât think of anyone to whom she should give the medicine. So, she had planned to sneak it there herself.
Patrick remained silent. Anna set the medicine down and said, â| was only kidding you! You donât have to do that for me. All| ask is that you keep my secret.â
âDo you trust me, Mrs. Wright?â
Anna froze after hearing Patrickâs words. In his cleanroom suit, Patrick looked like a polar bear. Through the goggles, his beautiful green eyes were staring intently at Anna.
âWhat? Why are you so excited?â
âtâs the first time someone has put me in charge of something so important. Donât worry, Mrs. Wright. Iâll bring the medicine there for you.â
âAre you willing to do that?â
âWithout a doubt! Since | was a child, Iâve been anticipating the fantastic opportunity to save the world. Iâm so excited!â Patrick explained.
Anna frowned and said, âStop it, please. You are going there to help the sick, not to be a hero. To be honest, there are risks involved in doing so. I cannot guarantee that the medication will be effective or that there will be no side effects. So...â
â| should stay in touch with you and give you timely feedback on the 528 Donât You Dare Covet My. oF condition of everyone who took medicine.â Patrick had already calmed down by that point.
âRemember to take precautions when you get there. Feel free to contact me if you run into any problems,â Anna said slowly.
âwillâ
While talking, Anna noticed a man in a gray coat standing outside the labâs glass door. Wayne waved toward her. He was smiling at her, but he kept his gaze on Patrick.
âWhat are you doing here?â Anna ran toward Wayne and asked in surprise.
Wayne held up a lunchbox and said, â! went to the hospital to bring lunch to you, but you werenât there. | came over because |
knew you would be here. The food is starting to get cold. So, eat it while itâs still hot.â
Anna said with a nod, âLetâs eat out. Oh, | forgot to let you meet my intern, Patrick. Patrick, this is Wayne, my husband.â
âSo youâre Mrs. Wrightâs husband, huh?â Patrick examined Wayne before asking in a weird tone.
And Wayneâs instincts told him that the boy was interested in Anna. âCome on, Anna. Letâs go out for lunch,â Wayne said while reaching his hand to Anna. He didnât even bother to shake hands with Patrick, as if he wasnât aware of his presence. After taking Annaâs hand, Wayne prepared to lead her out of this place.
Anna spun around and asked, âPatrick, have you had lunch yet? If not, feel free to join us.â
In excitement, Patrick took a big step forward and said, âSure! Should we eat at the cafeteria at school or somewhere else? |
know a great Italian restaurant nearby.â 528 Donât You Dare Covet My. a Hearing that, Wayne frowned furiously. Apparently, he was jealous. Meanwhile, Anna didnât notice Wayneâs angry expression. She said, waving her hand, âWe have to go back to the hospital this afternoon, so letâs just grab something at the cafeteria.â
âGreat! | love the food there,â Patrick immediately echoed.
Later, they went directly to the cafeteria. It was mealtime, so the place was packed with students.
Patrick kept his gaze fixed on Anna while he ate. After some time, he said, âCan I call you Anna from now on, Mrs. Wright? |
think we already know each other well.â
Almost rolling his eyes at Patrick after hearing what he said, Wayne took a drumstick from his plate and dropped it into Annaâs plate, saying, âHoney, eat some meat. Youâve lost some weight recently.â
Anna said, without even looking at Patrick, âYou canât, Iâm afraid. Iâm your mentor, and you should treat me with respect. Besides, Iâm afraid people will misinterpret our relationship if you call me so.â
Pleased with Annaâs response, Wayne removed the peppers on her plate that she disliked for her.
A bit awkward, Patrick laughed but said nothing. He then turned to Wayne and said, âMr. Wright, you seem to be quite a meticulous man, donât you? What do you do for a living?â
â| donât have a job;â Wayne replied calmly.
Patrick asked in surprise, âHuh? Youâre unemployed at your age?â
Anna coughed as she choked on her macaroni. She only felt better after taking a big gulp of water. Seconds later, she gave Wayne an awkward look and said, âDonât think much about it, dear. He didnât mean to offend you.â 528 Donât You Dare Covet My.
Wayne appeared annoyed. However, he couldnât say anything because Anna was present. âDoes it matter to you?â he asked Patrick coldly.
Patrick responded with a blink, âNo, it doesnât. Mrs. Wright is a professional doctor, so she deserves a man who stays at home and cares for her every day. Iâm not saying youâre a kept man.â
Anna took a large bite of herfood. She thought. Patrick, will you please stop talking? You just implied Wayne is old, and then you refer to him as a âkept man.â This is so embarrassing!
âPlease take it to heart, Wayne,â Anna said, attempting to calm him down.
Seeing that Patrick was about to say something else that might irritate Wayne more, Anna gave him a death stare to silence him.
She gave him a stern look and said, âYouâd better stop talking while you eat! Itâs bad for your stomach.â
Hearing that, Patrick couldnât say anything because he sensed that Anna was angry. Still, he smiled at Anna as he thought she was cute while eating.
What the hell, Patrick?! Anna is a married woman! Sheâs my wife! And Vâmsitting right opposite you! How dare you look at her with affection right at my face! At the thought of that, Wayne was so angry that he slammed his fork against the table.
âWhatâs the matter?â Anna asked, startled. As things went off, she had also lost her appetite completely and regretted bringing Patrick there.
âNothing,â Wayne said calmly.
âIâll get you a new set of utensils then,â Anna said as she stood up and walked away.
After she left, Wayne turned to Patrick across from him and asked, 528 Donât You Dare Covet My.
âYouâre Patrick Dawson, arenât you?â
âYeahâ
âI heard youâre the deanâs nephew.â
âYes.â Patrick immediately replied.
Wayne said coldly, âYou just mentioned that my wife is a professional doctor. Since you already know that, you should be clear about what you should not do. I wonât do anything to you because youâve already an intern. But | hope you wonât cause her any trouble in the future.â
Patrickâs smile faded. He gave Wayne a serious look and said, âBefore you say that, Mr. Wright, you should figure out who is causing her problems. | was confused why Mrs. Wright couldnât go to Fleosil until | met you.â Wayne, | have to say that youâre hindering Annaâs career. Iâm sure she didnât sign up for the project because you wouldnâtlet hergo. At the same time, Patrick sneered secretly.
When Wayne heard that, he frowned. And Patrick was about to say something when he saw Anna, who had no idea what the two men had just said.
âHere you go, honey,â Smiling, Anna handed the knife and fork to Wayne.
âThank you, SWEETIE,â Wayne said as he placed another piece of meat on Annaâs plate, stressing the word âsweetieâ.
