Chapter 388 Anna’s Going Back Home 387 Anna’s Going Back Home

After turning around and staring at Emily for a moment, Anna asked, “Emily? Is that you?”

The Blue Eagle Special Forces had many female soldiers who had previously served here. Anna had never imagined that she would meet Emily here.

Emily wrapped her arms around Anna and didn’t say anything for a long time.

“All right, let’s go inside.”

“Okay.”

The operating room smelled like sterile water and blood, just like any other hospital. And the soldier was still unconscious on the hospital bed. After checking his injuries, Emily exhaled a sigh of relief and sat down face to face with Anna.

Emily said, “I didn’t expect to meet you here, Anna! | mentioned to Ryan about you before | got here. We hadn’t seen you in years and were wondering what you were up to. Wow! It turned out that you’d become a doctor.”

Anna laughed and explained, “I’ve always to be a doctor. was a medical student in college before dropping out because I was pregnant. After | left Birmingham, | studied in a medical school again”

“Then are you a surgeon now?”

Anna shook her head, “No. Surgeons must complete at least eight years of medical school. I’m now studying child psychology.” Puzzled, Emily asked, “So what brings you here? It doesn’t appear to 387 Anna’s Going Back Home be a high demand for psychologists in this area.”

Anna lowered her voice and said, “It’s just an opportunity for me. As long as I can work here for a set period of time, I’ll be able to apply for an internship when | return to England.”

“What? You’re going back home?”

Anna knew what Emily was thinking and quickly explained, “Well, I’m going back for a while. Tammy will be in England for a year for asthma treatment, and I am looking for an internship. I need to finish my internship in the UK for a year so that I can spend time with her without missing work. My mentor gave me this great opportunity.”

Emily nodded as she felt disappointed, “I thought you were doing it for…” She didn’t finish the sentence. She simply looked at Anna and said, “Forget about it.” We’ll leave tomorrow and have a nice conversation tonight. Ryan’s been missing you.”

Anna smiled and said, “Great!”

The night remained humid. Those two surgeries lasted all night and Were not completed until the following morning. Anna and Emily sat by the

Emily asked in curiosity, “So you’ve spent all these years in France? And Tammy was living there with you?”

Anna shook her head and said, “No. She’s living in a boarding school in the US. At first, Jasper insisted on having Tammy live with him. But back then, he had only recently married and was already raising Isabella, who was not related to him by blood. As a result, | felt that having Tammy live with him would be unfair to Lily. Before I told Jasper about my decision, Tammy finally took the initiative and said that she wanted to stay at school.”

Emily frowned and said, “Indeed, Tammy is a considerate and mature ‘387 Anna’s Going Back Home

girl, given that she handled the situation herself. But, isn’t she being overly sensitive? Jasper is her legal guardian. So, under local law, he is required to support her. He’s even willing to let the kid on that island live with him! And Tammy’s always thought of him as a father, so why would she do that?”

“Well, Tammy later realized Jasper wasn’t her biological father, and she minded it. But | believe she did the right thing. She would be in an awkward situation if Jasper has his own child later.”

“How about Isabella?” Emily asked.

“Isabella chose to live with Jasper on her own. Jasper was the one who rescued her from the river at the time, so she chose to live with him.” “Don’t you think that’s strange? You saved her, Normally, she would choose to live with you. Why would she want to live with Jasper?” Anna said thoughtfully, “I can understand that. Jasper was the one who rescued her from the river, and he later looked after her in Birmingham. Jasper is therefore a little closer to her than | am. That child craves fatherly love and regards him as her father.” “That sounds reasonable,” Emily said, nodding.

Emily remembered that Jasper was a gentle gentleman alittle older than Wayne. He acted much more calmly than Wayne during the time When Anna was kidnapped by drug dealers. He was a very attractive man who was very bold in any decision he faced. Consequently, Emily assumed Anna would be with him after she left England

Anna laughed teasingly and said, “Well, let’s talk about you! How are you and Ryan doing? Are you two married?”

Emily scratched her brow, the oil paint on her face concealing her already flushed face. She then answered somewhat awkwardly, “Not yet. 387 Anna’s Going Back Home

We’ve both been swamped recently, and we have little time for vacation:

“Then is the Wright family all right?” Anna asked.

Emily said, “They’re fine. Jennie is doing well and teaches painting at a local high school. Matthew is now being treated for all of his psychological issues. I’m not sure what Wayne was thinking, but he never allowed Matthew to attend school. He hired tutors to teach him lessons at home and frequently took him on business trips. Matthew is now participating in board decisions. As for Grandpa, he has not been in the best of health lately and has been resting at home.

At dawn, helicopters were hovering overhead. Emily packed her belongings and took the three wounded to the helicopter.

“Bon voyage,” Anna said as she waved at Emily from the helicopter.

Aweek later, Emily went back to Birmingham.

“Can you tell | got a little tan from the mission? | believe we should postpone the wedding for a while. | have an uneven tan and | am afraid | will scare everyone.”

“That’s okay, I can tell them that you got a horrible tanning job.”

“What?” Emily asked, glaring at Ryan.

“Why are you so worried about that?” Ryan chuckled, “Nobody will notice that your face and neck aren’t the same color. Also, you can cover it with makeup”

Emily punched him in the shoulder and said, “Fine, whatever. I’ll be back in the army as soon as the wedding is over anyway.”

Since Ryan returned to the Wrights, Peter had always been kind to ‘387 Anna’s Going Back Home him. Peter was nice to him as long as they didn’t bring up the marriage as if he was trying to compensate him for the past. However, Peter was treating

Wayne poorly.

“Ah, I forgot to mention something just now,” Emily said, setting aside the bag of chips in her hand.

“What is it?”

“I met Anna at the aid station.”

Hearing that, Ryan was stunned for a few seconds before asking, “What?”

“I met her at the border aid station. Anna is a volunteer physician now. She attended medical school after leaving Birmingham that year. We talked all night and she asked how everyone was.”

Ryan froze for a moment before standing up.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going to see Wayne. I have to tell him about this!”

Aweek later, five trucks carrying supplies arrived at the border station. The commander stepped out of the truck wearing his military uniform After giving a military salute to his fellows, he said, “This is Mr. Wright, who donated the supplies this time. He is a well-known entrepreneur in Birmingham. He wishes to speak on behalf of the Birmingham city government to express condolences to the officers and soldiers of our border station, as well as the medical personnel. We saved a man from Birmingham a few days ago, and the government was so grateful to us that they let Mr. Wright come here.”

The officer examined Wayne and found the man in the suit to be 387 Anna’s Going Back Home oppressive. He didn’t think Wayne looked like an ordinary businessman. And he let Wayne in because the government had issued him a pass order.

Except for those on guard duty, everyone came to dinner in the evening. When Wayne couldn’t find the person he wanted to see, he asked, “Are all the medical staff here?
