Chapter 37


    What Ada didn’t expect was that Wayne’s grandfather criticized Wayne after he told Anna to leave, so


    eventually Anna and Tammy stayed.


    “I think it is more likely that Matthew doesn’t need you.” The old man said coldly, giving an angry nce


    at Wayne. He scolded him bluntly in front of Anna, “What Ms. Gabriel said is true. Look at yourself. Can


    you say that you’re a good father? How much wine have you drunk? Where were you when Matthew


    fell down the stairs? Were you lying in your room? How careless you were!”


    Having been ming himself, Wayne felt more and more guilty as his grandfather criticized him. He


    didn’t insist on Anna’s leaving, frowning restlessly, “She can stay if she wants. Grandpa, you can also


    stay here if you want. OK?”


    “Why am I supposed to do staying here?” The old man snorted coldly, “I’m too old to clean up the mess


    for you. I still want to live for a few more years.” Then he called his butler and left.


    Before he left, he secretly made an OK hand gesture to Tammy, and Tammy blinked really hard to


    respond to him. My mom and my future dad can stay together this way!


    After Wayne’s grandfather left, Anna pulled a chair to the bedside and touched Matthew’s forehead to


    feel his temperature.


    Wayne frowned, “He doesn’t have a fever. Why do you touch his forehead?”


    Anna gave him a withering look and said scornfully, “Kids tend to have a high fever when they are sick,


    especially when the surgery causes infection. A high fever may lead to pneumonia and other


    complications, which will be a big trouble. Do you know anything about kids at all?”


    Wayne sat on the sofa in embarrassment and said in a low voice, “What do you know? Are you a


    doctor?”


    “My mommy was going to be a doctor.” Tammy suddenly walked to Wayne and crawled onto


    Wayne’s thigh with both her hands and feet and sat there casually.


    Wayne had nothing against this little girl. In fact, he liked her quite a lot. He lifted her upwards so that


    she could sit more steadily, but he only took her words as a kid’s babble. He asked her in disbelief,


    “Why didn’t she really be a doctor?”


    “Because she had me and didn’t have time to take care of other children.”


    Tammy looked cute and na?ve, but her exnation made Wayne more certain that Anna probably


    bragged about herself to her daughter. He immediately found his pride back and snorted, “As far as I


    know, it takes at least seven years to finish the medical courses and residency training to be a


    real doctor. It’s not that easy for everyone.” I‘ve known in the


    interview three months ago that Anna fabricated her academic credentials. She didn‘t even go to


    college. What doctor can she be? Maybe she learned some nursing knowledge in the high school and


    then beguiled her daughter.


    Out of Wayne’s expectation, Anna’s eyes darkened a little and didn’t retort upon him. She looked a little


    dispirited.


    His heart suddenly pounded and found it boring to make fun of her. The sarcastic jokes he prepared to


    say were all left unsaid.


    Anna sat by Matthew’s side for the whole night. She would put the nket back on him whenever he


    kicked it away. She felt more and more sleepy and couldn’t open her eyes. Finally, she fell asleep and


    put her face on the bed.


    When the sunlight came through the window in the morning, she woke up with a sore back. The scene


    she first saw gave her an inexplicably mixed feeling.


    Tammy was sitting on Wayne’sps with her two little hands holding a Nintendo switch. She seemed to


    get stuck in a certain level and looked up at Wayne for help, “Uncle Wright, I can’t pass this level. How


    can I do it?”


    Wayne took the switch and put his arms around her. Then he showed her how to y the game, “Here.


    This way. You have to be fast at this part.”


    After ying for a long time, Wayne finally realized that Anna was looking at them, the gentle smile


    disappearing on his face, “You’re up?”.


    Anna punched her waist andined, “I’m too sleepy. I have to go back to work on that anniversary


    project.”


    “I can give you a day off if you’re too tired.”


    After ying games with Tammy for the whole morning, Wayne was in a good mood, his anger swept


    away.


    “It’s alright.” Anna curled her lips, “Some people thought that I have some secret n even when I did


    nothing. If I dare to take a day off without a reason, others may really think that I’m a social climber. By


    the way, Mr. Wright, I have to make it clear that Ie here only because of work and the friendship


    between Tam and Matthew. Please don’t think that you’re so attractive that everyone wants to seduce


    you.”


    Wayne’s good spirit was immediately ruined. He looked at Anna with a frown, and his gratitude to her


    completely disappeared.


    Seeing that there was going to be another fight between the two adults, Tammy quickly said, “Mommy,


    you can go home now. I can stay here with Matthew.”


    Anna frowned, “Aren’t you going with me?”


    “Why should I go?” Tammy sat on Wayne’s legs casually as if she was sitting on a chair and not even


    raised her head. “Aren’t you going to cook some food for Matthew and bring it here at noon? I’ll be too


    tired going home and thening back. It’s Sunday anyway.”


    Why does she still remember about the food? Anna fell into an awkward silence because she was


    afraid that Wayne would think she was fawning over him for some reasons.


    Wayne said calmly, “I’m not going to thepany today. I’ve put off all my work. Tammy can stay in the


    hospital. I’ll take care of her. It’ll be alright. Go where you’re needed.”


    hat?” Anna was a bit surprised. Is he really going to take care of my child?


    “Which means you need to bring lunch. For the three of us.”


    Wayne’s words took a load off her mind. Sure, this is the real Wayne Wright, who won‘t ept to lose


    anything. Taking care of Tammy for a free cook. What a great deal.


    In order to help Anna with the project, Peace Brooks made an appointment for her with a friend in


    advertising who specialized in event nning. Anna was in a hurry, so she didn’t say more and left


    Tammy in the hospital. She talked with that friend for a whole morning, yawning and drinking several


    cups of coffee.


    At noon, she went to the supermarket and bought some vegetables and meat. She made a delicious


    meal and put all the food in a fouryer lunchbox and took it to the hospital.


    Matthew had woken up. His one arm was put in a cast, and the dislocated joints of the other one was


    just reced and didn’t seem to be flexible. He looked at the food pathetically.


    “Let me feed you.” Wayne put a spoonful of soup in front of him.


    However, the little boy wouldn’t eat it and turned away his head, only looking at Anna. Just as


    grandfather said, Matthew wouldn’t need him after he woke up.


    “Let me do it.” Anna reached out her hands to Wayne and let him give her the bowl and the spoon.


    Not surprisingly, Matthew was immediately cheerful when Anna took the spoon and ate a bowl of soup.


    A little jealous, Wayne said seriously, “Matthew, you need to be clear that I’m your father.”


    Matthew looked at him and suddenly stretched out his foot to kick on his thigh. His face was twisted,


    clouded with anger.


    “What are you doing?” Wayne was irritated by Matthew’s behavior though the kick wasn’t painful.

    “You’re scaring him.” Anna frowned and reminded Wayne. Matthew soon took back his feet and leaned


    on Anna.
