Chapter 447 Don’t Be Afraid

Wayne sighed as he looked at Anna lying in the bathtub.

“Ah! Why did you come in suddenly?” Anna slammed the towel in her hand against him. Wayne frequently used his memory loss as an excuse to. do many strange things, and Anna had put up with it.

The towel landed on Wayne and fluttered to the floor. He bent down and picked it up before approaching Anna slowly. “Let me help you.” He said.

Wayne had just finished having a meeting when Noel told him about the accident Anna had at work. He rushed to the hospital and discovered that she had just left. He then quickly returned home.

On the way home, he felt anxious, as if a fire was burning in his heart. Nothing could prevent him from seeing his wife. Wayne couldn’t explain why he was constantly losing his mind because of Anna. However, a subconscious within him continued to tell him what to do.

Anna refused to mention what he had forgotten, but he somewhat had a blurred idea about what had happened.

In an attempt to avoid him, Anna leaned back. On the other hand, Wayne took her arm in his hand and carefully wiped her body.

“Wayne.” Anna muttered. ‘

He was surprisingly quiet, and after rubbing her back, he quietly began to rub her sprained leg.

“What’s the matter?” She couldn’t help but wonder because she was itching all over her body.

“| panicked and became scared when Noel said something happened to you.”

He had been separated from her for five years because of his foolish mistakes. The disappointment of waiting would creep into his dreams every night. Although he no longer remembered these details, he remembered the sensation, It was a bone-chilling pain, he recalled.

Wayne lowered his gaze to the ground. He always hated to show his vulnerability. His voice was becoming increasingly low, and it was clear that he was having difficulty saying what he had just said.

However, Anna was moved by him. “I’ll be there for you at all times.” She spoke softly.

Someone then began knocking on the bedroom door. The sound was like cold water, extinguishing their burning desire.

Wayne and Anna both opened their eyes and looked at each other. And the atmosphere began to shift from romantic to subtly awkward.

The person at the door kept knocking as if they insisted on seeing them immediately.

“Who is it?” Anna yelled at the door. She then kept her gaze fixed on the bathroom door, not looking Wayne in the eyes.

“It’s me, Tammy!”

At this point, Wayne was embarrassed and upset. All he wanted to do at the time was made love to Anna in the tub, but their daughter had to see

them at this moment. ‘446 Don’t Be Afraid

“What’s up, Tammy? Let’s talk about that tomorrow. Mommy had a very long day.” Anna said with a deliberate yawn.

“No! | have to say it now! | persuaded Great-Grandpa to let him go to the hospital tomorrow to prepare for the operation over dinner. But now he’s changed his mind and refuses to go no matter what. Matthew can’t even do anything about it.”

Anna patted Wayne’s shoulder as she heard this, “I really need to get over there. Put me down now, honey.” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Wayne still clung to her, irritated.

“You’re coming with me as well.” After finishing her words, Anna wriggled to free herself from his grasp. Wayne had to compromise and carefully place her uninjured foot down because she was injured.

Anna stood up and stepped on her slippers to reach the bath towel on a nearby shelf. But then she slipped and leaned back.

“Ahi”

Ina panic, Anna reached out to grab something but accidentally yanked on Wayne’s belt. As a result, Anna and Wayne jumped into the tub together, making a big splash.

Tammy heard a noise from inside the door, frowned, and rapped on it, asking, “Are you guys okay?”

“I’m fine!” Anna replied hesitantly.

Early the next morning, Anna drove Peter to the hospital, although he didn’t really want to do so. They finally decided on a surgery date.

He was supposed to spend some time in the hospital before the surgery. The doctor examined him thoroughly and found all his vital signs normal. However, Peter always told the doctor that he was too

dizzy to get 446 Don’t Be Afraid all out of bed. Everyone knew he was faking it but was too embarrassed to say anything about it.

At the moment, Peter was lying in bed, not feeling well but looking good. Tammy sat in a chair beside his bed, playing a game on her iPad.

“Why don’t you talk to me, Tammy?” Peter asked her.

“What do you want to talk to me about, Great-grandpa?” Tammy asked, not raising her head.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m playing a doctor-themed game. When | grow up, | want to be a doctor like Mommy and discover cures for your fears,” Tammy spoke in a firm tone when she was still playing the game.

“Fears about what?”

Tammy nodded and said, “My mommy told me that you refused to have the surgery because you were afraid. But I’m still hoping you’ll be brave. Mommy said there’s a good chance the surgery will be successful, and it will allow you to live longer. That way, you’ll be able to attend my medical school graduation ceremony.”

“I’m not scared at all!” Peter coughed softly.

The afternoon after Tammy left, Peter unexpectedly agreed to cooperate with the doctor with all of the pre-surgery preparations. He also asked the doctor if he could have the surgery earlier because he wanted to spend more time with his great-grandchildren.

On the day of the surgery, the doctor dressed Peter in a hospital gown. Peter abruptly grabbed Anna’s hand as she stood there silently watching. His pale fingers rubbed her palm, warming it.

“Anna, I’m an old man now. | was never afraid of anything when I was younger, so I’m surprised I’m afraid of death now.” Peter’s voice was low ‘446 Don’t Be Afraid and slightly trembled

Anna immediately burst into tears and clutched his hand, “Rest assured, Grandpa. The operation will be a success. You will be there for Matthew and Tammy when they grow up.”

Anna’s words moved Peter deeply. As his family grew larger over time, he became increasingly afraid of death. He could spend time with his great-grandchildren, which made him very happy. He was, however, very depressed as he was always under the impression that this would not last and that he would have to say goodbye to it all one day.

“Thank you very much, Anna,” Peter nodded slightly and said.
