âNo, I donât want to go there...â
Annaâs whimper came from time to time. Holding her tightly in his arms, Wayne felt sorry for her.
Annaâs life experience was different from that of him.
When his father passed away, he was thirteen years old. Although his mother had left him, his grandfather brought him up and they were in a good relationship, As for Anna, she lost her mother not long after she was born. Later, her father remarried and had a new family. And Anna had to live with her grandfather when she was young After her grandfather, who loved her dearly passed away, her father took her back to the Gabriel family. However, she was in an embarrassing position in the family. As a member of her family, she was like an outsider.
Karl, Wayneâs only friend since he was a child, had ever said that Wayne was stubborn.
Wayne always thought that it was the environment that he grew up in made him stubborn.
In his opinion, Anna should have been more stubborn than him because she grew up in a worse environment. But she was not.
Instead, she lived a free and unconventional life. She could abandon her identity as the daughter of the Gabriel family without hesitation and stand on her own feet by working as a manager in the hotel.
Wayne had thought that he knew Anna well. In his eyes, she was a woman who was smart and capable at work but couldnât take good care of herself in life.
But after getting along with her for so long, he felt that he didnât know her well enough. The rain was getting heavier and heavier.
With a frown, Wayne looked at the sea and the heavy mist and asked, âHow long will it take to go back to the dock?â
âWeâre almost there. Donât worry. The rain usually lasts only five to ten minutes,â the driver said as he took a sudden turn and drove the boat as fast as he could.
Half an hour later, Wayne had been back to the hotel with Anna and Matthew but it was still raining heavily outside.
Meteorological authorities issued a temporary rainstorm alert. And the boats on the sea were urgently evacuated while some of them capsized in the sea. The local government had dispatched the rescue team to rescue the people in danger.
Several staff members from Enlight Media, including the director of the variety show were waiting for Scottâs news in the hotel hall. They were all stunned when they saw Wayne come back with Anna.
âMr. Wright, this is...â
âGet a doctor,â Wayne said briefly and then went upstairs with Anna in his arms under the Chapter 85 I Donât Want to G...
+25 Points *25 Points gazes of the others who stood there dumbfounded.
âSheâs seasick. Now that she has left the boat, she doesnât need to take medicine for seasickness. But she got wet in the rain and has a fever now. Donât worry. Sheâll be fine after taking some antipyretics and having a good rest,â the doctor said after doing a checkâup for Anna.
Then he left the room accompanied by the director and Wayne followed them out After the doctor left, the director turned around and saw Wayne. Then he greeted Wayne at once, âMr. Wright.â
Wayne nodded. âHire a carer to take care of her tonight.â
Hearing this, the director felt a little embarrassed and said, âMr. Wright, it hasnât rained so heavily for many years, and many accidents happened today. It is said that a cruise ship to the nearby island capsized and caused heavy casualties. Now many people are being rescued in the hospital is busy and both medical facilities and medical staff here are scarce. Iâm afraid we canât hire a carer.â
When Wayne heard this, it suddenly occurred to him that Tammy hadnât come back yet. He tensed and asked, âWhich ship capsized?â
The director thought that Wayne was worried about Scott, so he immediately explained, âDonât worry, Mr. Wright. Itâs not the one that Scott took. Scott and the daughter of Miss Gabriel have arrived at the island safely. But they wonât be able to come back soon. He just called us and said that they were safe.â
Wayneâs face softened when heard that. âMr. Wright, we really canât find a carer now...â The director was a little nervous. âForget it.â Wayne waved his hand and let him go. Then he went back to the room. The greyâblue sheet set off Annaâs pale face, Sitting on the edge of the bed, Wayne gazed at Anna. He suddenly remembered that when she met Lilian in the elevator before, she unblushingly told Lilian that he was her boyfriend.
The next moment, his eyes were full of tenderness and he thought. When she is bold, she always does something amazing, making me marvel at her courage. Now she is weak and helpless, making me want to protect her and take care of her...
Wayne leaned over and wanted to look closely at Annaâs face. But somehow, he couldnât help getting closer and closer to her.
Finally, he kissed her on the lips.
It was pouring outside and the wind was blowing the curtains violently. On the wall, their shadows looked like a romantic picture.
Anna, who drifted off into a fitful sleep, could feel that someone tucked her in and put a cold towel on her forehead to help her reduce the fever.
She knew there was someone beside her, but she couldnât open her eyes. Later, she fell asleep and dreamed of the past. the Back then, she was still young when her grandfather had heart failure and was about to die.
Lying on the bed, her grandfather held her hand and looked at her with his eyes full of worry. âAnna, remember to be obedient when you go back home. But remember not to let others bully Chapter 85 I Donât Want to G you. Your father still cares about you. If you are bullied, just tell him and he will protect you.â
âGrandpa, I donât want to go there. I will be obedient and wonât eat too much candy in the future. Donât let me go there,â Anna said, feeling very aggrieved.
At that time, she was still young and did not know that her grandfather was dying. She just thought that she was abandoned by him.
Suddenly, there was a noise in the hospital and several men and women with mean looks broke into the ward.
One of them was a fat woman with curly hair, wearing an expensive purple overcoat. She shouted at curses as soon as she saw little Anna, âThis girl is a jinx. Her mother died after she was born. Now her grandfather is also going to die. Stay away from her if you donât want to die. Send her away quickly. I donât want to see her anymore.â
âI wonât leave. Grandpa... Grandpa...â Little Anna was dragged out of the ward by two adults. Before she left, she looked back at her grandfather.
Her grandfather stretched his arm in her direction and fixed his eyes on her, seeming to want to say something to her. The next moment, amidst the sad cries of his children, his arm fell on the edge of the bed and he closed his eyes.
âOh, is this the jinx?â âOh, my God! She is the one who killed her family?â âYes, itâs her.â When Anna was a little older, she gradually knew what the people around her thought of her.
There was one time when she was blocked to a corner by a group of children, she couldnât stand their curse anymore and finally roared hysterically, âIâm not a jinx!â
Then she pushed a little fat boy who spat pn her face to the ground with all her strength. âHow dare you push me? You jinx! Help!
This Jinx wants to kill me!â âI am not a Jinx!â. Anna shouted and suddenly woke up from the nightmare.
The warmth on the back of her hand made her gradually calm down. When she opened her eyes with a drowsy look and saw Wayne lying beside her, she was stunned.
âAh!â A scream broke the silent night.
