Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 448 Strange Accidents

Anna stayed with Peter until he reached the operating room door. Peter’s hand gradually separated from hers as the door closed. When their hands were entirely apart, she heard him thank her again in husky tones.

At that moment, Anna felt like she couldn’t breathe. She thought of some similar images as she looked at the light turned on in front of the operating room door. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

As she almost passed out, a pair of warm hands clasped her cold ones. Anna relaxed as she realized that it was Wayne. She clutched his hand tightly, drawing greedily on the security he gave her.

“Grandpa thinks that our family would not be this happy without you, Anna.” Wayne sounded tired, but he still explained to Anna why Peter had thanked her before entering the operating room.

They stood outside the operating room, both feeling like time had stopped. Anna leaned against Wayne’s shoulder, recounting things that happened in the past.

“The first time | officially met you, my hair became entangled in your button in the elevator. And you assumed I had done it on purpose.”

“..You were jealous that Tammy and Scott were close and convinced him to sign a contract with your entertainment company.”

She told Wayne some amusing or heartwarming stories, and he laughed as he listened. The operating room door slammed open much later.

Henry was pacing nervously in the doorway. He was the first to 447 Strange Accidents approach the doctor and grab his arm, asking, “How did the surgery go?”

The doctor removed his mask, smiled, and said, “Don’t worry, the operation went well. The patient is still unconscious and will need to be hospitalized for a few days. You must take good care of him, and

the other doctors will speak with you about the dos and don’ts later.”

Anna grabbed the hem of Wayne’s suit as soon as the door to the operating room opened. She breathed a sigh of relief only after hearing the doctor’s words.

“It’s allright, Wayne,” Anna said to Wayne.

Peter was already an elderly man, so his recovery from the operation was relatively slow. When the doctor arrived, he said that Peter was not fully awake. He had indirect breathing problems and needed to stay in bed for a while longer.

Tammy and Matthew went to see Peter in the hospital after school and sat by his bedside. Tammy then fell asleep on Matthew’s shoulder, so Anna let Wayne drive them home.

Anna stayed there until the early morning hours. After that, Henry kept urging her to return home and rest, so she did

When Anna returned home, she found that Wayne had fallen asleep. He was sleeping soundly and appeared to be having a sweet dream. Anna sat on the edge of the bed and couldn’t stop herself from kissing his cheek.

In the last few days, Wayne hadn’t gotten much sleep. And Anna could tell he was worried about his grandfather even though he didn’t say anything about it.

“You’re back, honey.” Wayne said to Anna in a gentle, low voice that seemed to melt in the air. Then he stroked Anna’s waist. He reached out ;447 Strange Accidents and wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tightly.

Gradually, Anna fell asleep soundly in Wayne’s arms. After a long time, she was awakened by her phone ring. She picked up the phone.

And she felt her blood boil in an instant after hearing Henry’s words.

“Something’s happened to Peter!”

Immediately after hanging up, Anna woke Wayne up and told him what happened. In no time, they got into a white car which later whistled down the street.

Anna sat in the passenger seat, her thoughts racing. Meanwhile, Wayne was driving and appeared to be calm and collected, but the traces of sweat on the steering wheel indicated that he was also nervous

“He has been in a coma for far too long due to a lack of oxygen in his brain. The good news is that we discovered it just in time.,” The doctor said to Anna and Wayne after they reached the hospital.

Anna was standing in the hospital gallery for the second time that day. She was in a trance, her hands gripping the hem of Wayne’s shirt tightly. She listened to the doctor, but her brain seemed to be unable to comprehend what he was saying.

“How is he doing now?” She asked.

“He has some brain tissue necrosis. We’ve done everything we can to save him, so his life is not in danger right now. However, we have no idea when he will awaken.”

“That means…”

“He’s turned into a vegetable.”

The doctor’s words exploded like a bomb in Wayne’s head, destroying ;447 Strange Accidents his last sanity. He was in pain and couldn’t control himself.

At the same time, Henry was barely able to stand by holding on to the wall. He sat down on his knees after hearing the doctor’s words and yelled ina broken voice, “Peter! I’m sorry! | shouldn’t have fallen

asleep. They wouldn’t have been able to harm you otherwise!” He continued to sob, his voice hoarse.

Hearing that, Wayne became aware of something and asked Henry, “What exactly do you mean? Who harmed Grandpa?”

Peter explained, “I didn’t see what he looked like because he was wearing a mask and hat. At 3:20 a.m., he crept into the ward and unplugged Peter’s oxygen tube. I’ve made a copy of the surveillance video for you to give to the police.”

Then Peter placed the flash drive in Anna’s palm and gave her hand a firm shake.

Before calling the police, Anna showed Ryan the surveillance video, which included footage of Mona being pushed down the stairs. She had a nagging sense of unease. What had happened recently had been too strange and frequent for her to believe it was all a coincidence.

Mona had been pushed down the stairs by an unknown woman, and Peter’s oxygen tube had been removed by a strange man. And then, Anna recalled what had happened that day when she was in the office. She hadn’t told anyone else about it, and she could tell those women wanted tokill her.

Anna got a headache just thinking about it. Something else was going to happen, she had a feeling.

Isabella made a sandwich and set it on Anna’s desk. She said, “You can’t just sleep at work every day because of work. There’s a lot going on at the hospital as well, and you have to work the night shift. Working so much is bad for your health.”

Anna took the tuna sandwich and ate it. She continued to look up the file while she ate.

Realizing that Anna wanted to continue working, Isabella asked worriedly, “Why don’t you resign from the hospital?”

“No way.” Anna refused immediately because she had put in too much effort for this job. She couldn’t give up now that she’d come this far. Besides, she didn’t think things were all that bad right now.

“I have another thought,” she said.

“What?” Isabella sat across from Anna, one hand on her chin.

“Come to Lemon and help me work,” Anna said as she finished the last bite of her sandwich.

“What?!” Isabella asked and widened her eyes in surprise.
