Me Before You

Chapter 869

Vanessa Cameron glared at Eiza Preston fiercely, and then ran after Anna, but Anna almost reached at the school gate. She wanted to chase, but she couldn’t.

Thinking of Eiza Preston who was still in shock in the dormitory, she couldn’t help shaking her head and then walked back towards the dormitory.

Eiza Preston also had an idea about the mess she has created this time. She asked in a trembling voice, "Vanessa, do you think Anna will sue me for this? I..."

Vanessa Cameron couldn't bear to see her red swollen eyes and her trembling hands. She said in a deep voice, "Eiza, what you just did is too unreasonable. If I didn’t show up in time, would you really kill Anna? How could you have such a terrible idea?"

Eiza Preston shook her head, "I don’t know, I really don’t know..."

Vanessa Cameron looked at Eiza Preston who didn’t seem to have recovered her consciousness. She sighed deeply. Then she turned around and took out her mobile phone. However, Eiza Preston immediately grabbed her cell phone.

Eiza Preston looked at her with red eyes and murmured, "are you going to call the police? No, you can’t. If you call the police, I will be finished, everything will be destroyed, everything..."

With that, she began to pace back and forth in the dormitory.

Vanessa Cameron was frightened by her sudden reaction. After a while, she stood up and was about to go out. However, Eiza Preston grabbed Vanessa Cameron’s arm and asked in a cruel voice, "What? What do you want to do to me? You are a bad woman! You all are bad guys, bad guys..."

At this moment, Vanessa Cameron panicked. She looked at Eiza Preston who was obviously mentally abnormal, she finally broke free of her grip and ran towards outside...

Anna walked out of the school gate and kept walking forward with her head down but she was stopped by someone.

She didn't lift her eyelids and kept walking to the front worriedly. But she bumped into someone, she slightly raised her head and said, "I’m sorry."

Then she continued to walk absentmindedly towards the front.

The man again blocked her way, and then said in a deep voice, "Anna, don’t you use your eyes while walking?"

Anna raised her head and looked at the man in front of her for a long time before she recognized him, "Henry Michael? Why are you here?" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Henry Michael looked at Anna in front of him, and said, "Why I’m here? Of course, I’m here to see a heartless woman! Come on, I’ll treat you to dinner."

He forcibly pulled Anna toward his car.

Right at that moment, Anna’s mobile phone rang.

Anna shook Henry Michael’s hand away, looked down at the mobile phone, and then decisively put the mobile phone into the backpack. After that, she raised her head and said to Henry Michael, "let’s go. Didn’t you say you invited me to dinner?" Then she got into his car.

Henry Michael was shocked for a while, and then he ran to the driver’s seat with a smile, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away.

They went to a Japanese restaurant. Henry Michael took Anna into a box and after a while, the food was served on the table.

Anna began to eat crazily, and Henry Michael just watched Anna eating like a hungry wolf. He couldn’t help being shocked by her amazing appetite, "how can you eat so much?"

Anna raised her head slightly and glanced at him, "What? You don't like it? I won’t eat then."

Henry Michael was stunned to hear this and he said with a smile, "What are you talking? Am I such a mean person? Eat as much as you like. Just open your mouth, and you’ll get everything."

Anna got Henry Michael’s promise, and she ate evenly, but Henry Michael somehow could feel that there was a touch of sadness on her. So, he asked in a deep voice, "what happened?"

Anna shook her head and continued to eat, but as she ate, her tears rolled down involuntarily…

Henry Michael was stunned. He quickly handed her the tissue and asked, "Why are you crying? What’s going on? I didn’t do anything, did I? Hey, stop crying! Listen to me! If you keep crying, I will, I will..."

Anna raised her head, her tearful look made Henry Michael unable to think anything. Finally, he blurted out, "if you cry again, I will kiss you!"

His words successfully stopped Anna’s tears.

Henry Michael was finally relieved to see that she stopped crying. After a while, he just looked up and saw her tears falling down again!

Henry Michael got worried and explained in a hurry, "I’m just kidding. Don’t take my words seriously, ok? Anna, don't you always like fighting with me? Come on, if you have something, just say it. Don’t cry, my lady. People will think I’m bullying you, then I would be wrongly accused!"

But Anna was still weeping silently.

In a hurry, Henry Michael sat next to her with a box of tissue. He handed her the tissue and advised, "My lady, this is a waste of tissue paper, do you know?"

"What’s more, what can’t be solved by eating? If it one meal isn’t enough, then have two! Isn’t that your life motto? How can so many delicious dishes fail in stopping your tears?"

"Hey, Anna, what do you want? See how I am coaxing you. Don't push your luck, okay?"

...

Henry Michael tried his best but couldn’t coax Anna at all. Finally, he gave up and said helplessly, "Ok, fine, continue crying, I really have no way out!"

As soon as he said this, Anna’s tears stopped abruptly.

This made Henry Michael feel speechless, and he can’t help murmuring, "Are you doing this on purpose? And I am, just like a fool coaxing you?"

Anna suddenly asked, "Henry Michael, do you think I’m a gold digger? The kind of person who can do anything for money?"

Henry Michael was completely stunned and just stared at her. He didn't respond, and Anna smiled sadly, "I know, in the eye of all of you, I am such a bad woamn!"

She got up suddenly and walked towards the door. But before leaving, she turned back and said to Henry Michael, "thanks for your kindness. It’s my treat today."

Then she went to the bill counter, paid the bill and walked out.

After paying a lot of money, Anna left the Japanese food restaurant. At the thought of spending so much, she couldn’t help mourning for the money.

She wiped her tears and walked slowly towards home.

But when she came to Jiangfu garden, she stopped suddenly. She laughed at herself and said in a low voice, "I’m really miserable!"

Instead of going forward, she turned back.

Henry Michael had been following her closely. He noticed her strange behavior, stopped the car and went to her. He changed his cheeky appearance and asked seriously, "Anna, what’s the matter with you? Did you quarrel with your husband or did he abandon you?"

Anna heard Henry Michael asking this and said with a sad smile, "why do you all desperately want to separate us? Everyone is like this, so are you! Is Anna Stark so unworthy of Daniel Taylor? Or I don’t deserve to be happy? What’s wrong with me? Why do you all treat me like this? I just want to live a good life with the person I love. Is this also wrong..."
