Chapter 186


    “Only Anna can change you”, echoed in Wayne’s head.


    Karl gradually calmed down and then sat back on his chair. He red coldly at Wayne and said, “Only


    Anna broke all your boundaries


    and changed your principles, and she even made you doubt yourself. She’s the first gray area you’ve


    encountered in your life. Just admit it, Wayne, you can’t live without her anymore.”


    Wayne frowned. Karl had just said exactly what he was thinking, making him feel ufortable. So he


    red at Karl and said


    coldly, “Stop staying in mypany and get your ass back to yours.”


    Then, he left the conference room straight away.


    Karl rubbed his chin and smiled teasingly, thinking, Wayne is so stubborn!


    Wayne had too much of a smooth life over the past thirty years. Even though his parents hadn’t gotten


    along, it hadn’t done him much harm. He was always the coolest kid in school. However, After his


    father’s death, he lost the only tenderness and joy he had.


    At Wayne’s father’s funeral, Wayne’s mother finally made a change. She decided to never leave home


    again and stop chasing her


    so-called dreams and freedom, and to just take care of him.


    However, Wayne was calmer than anyone else at that point. He told her in front of the entire Wright


    family, “How much money do you want? Go to the finance department and get your money. After that,


    don’t ever show up in front of me again in your life.”


    Wayne was such a ruthless man. But, he hadpromised with Anna many times.


    Karl, as a bystander, knew better than even Wayne what he had done.


    Afterward, he called Peace. He said to her gently, “Hey, baby. When are you avable? Let’s go


    camping! I’ve got everything ready, I saw the weather forecast, and it will be nicetely.”


    Peace stayed as calm as she could and said, “Oh, let’s just wait a little longer. Anna’s not in the mood


    these days, I’m afraid.”


    “What’s wrong?” Karl asked and sat up straight. At that moment, his instincts told him that something


    was wrong.


    After a brief period of silence, Peace said, “Something’s happened to Anna’s father.”


    Anna’s father, Frank, suddenly fell seriously ill in the morning and was taken to the hospital. He still


    hadn’te out of the


    operating room at that time.


    Peace and Anna were shopping at the mall and ready to have lunch when they got the news. Luckily,


    Anna had been to her father’s nursing home and had the phone number of his doctor. Anna did this


    specifically to get an update on her father’s health condition.


    As soon as she received the call, Anna rushed to the hospital. She was trembling violently the entire


    way.


    Most people thought that Anna and Frank were father was the


    only one she could rely on. She deliberately shunned him because she thought that he was the one


    who made her mother die.


    She was well aware that Frank loved her.


    Anna’s bedroom was thergest in the house except for the main bedroom, and her birthday presents


    were all the most expensive and rare. Even when she was tricked by Allie into going to the


    underground boxing ring and was arrested by the police as a result, Frank


    didn’t scold her


    When she offered to adopt Scott, Frank didn’t hesitate to say yes. At that time, he was even delighted


    and said that it was the first time Anna had ever asked him to do something for her.


    Anna knew that Allie and her mother hated She was spoiled by her father, so she could


    understand why Allie hated her.


    “Anna, I’m sure thngs will be fine. The doctor said that your father is just in temporary shock. Also,


    they’re doing their best to save


    hun. Don’t worry, nothing bad will happens,” Peace said.


    She was sitting with Ana in front of the operating room, but she didn’t know how tofort her.

    Anna hadn’t said a word since they arrived face


    3*25 Points


    turned pale.


    The light in the operating room was still on. Anna found herself dizzy as she looked at that light for too


    long and saw a red dot in


    front of her eyes.


    At that moment, two people were making their way down the hall, and their jumbled footsteps and the


    sound of crying were


    distracting


    Peace shot an impatient re into the distance.


    Then, Shirley and Allie stumbled across the scene. With her hands trembling, Shirley was on the verge


    of copsing from the


    emotional trauma she had just experienced. She said, “What happened to my Frank? God, how could


    this happen?!”


    Allie held her up, and there were tears in her eyes. She said, “Mom, please don’t cry. My dad is going


    to be fine. Okay, it’s


    alright.”


    “God! I told him to go to the hospital before, but he never listened to me. It’s a good thing he was in a


    nursing home, and there


    were nurses to take care of him. What would we do if he has fainted at home then! Oh my God, Frank,


    you can’t leave me! I can’t live


    without you!”


    “Mom, don’t cry.”


    Hearing that, Peace felt like she was going to throw up. She lowered her voice and whispered in


    Anna’s ear, “Jesus Christ! What are


    they doing? They surely are good at acting! They’re saying that on purpose, aren’t they?”


    Anna stopped looking at the lights in the operating room. She nced at them indifferently and said,


    “Hey, you’re in a hospital


    now. Please be quiet!”


    They both seemed to have just realized that Anna was there and suddenly stopped talking. Then, they


    looked at Anna grimly.


    “Oh, what are you doing here, Anna?” Allie asked. Her sinister expression was a stark contrast to the


    tender one she had just


    worn.


    “Is there a problem? What makes you think that I can’te here? I’m Frank’s oldest daughter!”


    Hearing her words, Allie and Shirley’s expressions became more gloomy.


    Shirley said with dissatisfaction, “Anna, how can you say this? Why are you doing this to us now? Don’t


    forget that your dad is still


    alive! Why are you saying that you are his oldest daughter?”


    Anna sat calmly in her chair, and her gaze became fierce. She said, “Then, you have to answer the


    question yourself. Why the hell are


    you so shameless that you hooked up with my dad when my mother was giving birth to me?!”


    Although Anna had hated Allie and her mother since she was a child, she had never shown it. Instead,


    she had been polite to them.


    All this time, if they didn’t treat Anna unfairly, she wouldn’t have done anything to them.


    But today, she was extremely hostile towards them.


    Allie Wasifmediately angry. In a harsh, sarcastic voice, she said, “What do you mean? Anna, don’t you


    think that you will be


    the hostess of ourtudy if das dies. You’re such abb! Alew years ago, you ran away to America


    without even an exnation. Weter


    learned thal you were knocked up by Sorne stranger and you were alraid that dad would be angry.


    Now, youe back and pretend to be


    a good daughter when dad is sick.”


    Her voice echoed in theidor. Hearing her words, many patients and nurses gathered around them.

    “God, everyone knows what you’re thinking! Don’t you think you’re some kind of “g moral role model,


    you hypocrite! Anna,


    you’re nothing but an unyiatelulb”hi”


    Anna stood up, and hercetumed very pale because of her anger. She said slowly, “Don’t you dare


    say that again, Allie!”


    “Why can’t 17 You‘re such a psycho…”


    Before Allie could finish her sentence, Anna pped her on the face hard.


    Shirley screamed and then held Allie, who was about to fall, and she yelted. “Are you crazy?! Anna,


    why did you hit her?!”
