Anna never took Wayne’s helping her for granted. Plus, she knew he had to go to work. As a result,
she chose to let him go about his business. Beside her, Wayne paused briefly, his brow furrowing
deeply.
At that moment, Ryan knew it was time for him to speak up to lighten the atmosphere. He stood up, put
an arm around Anna’s shoulders, and said, “Don’t worry, just leave your wife to me; III keep her
company for you while I’m home.”
Wayne frowned, his gaze fixed on Ryan’s hand on Anna’s shoulder. “She’s your sister-inw” Wayne
grumbled.
“I know, and she’s a good friend of mine as well,” Ryan said with a smug smile.
“Maybe | should tell Emily about this,” Wayne muttered as he walked to the door to put on his leather
shoes.
“Let me remind you, Snitches get stitches!” Ryan’s eyes widened, and he quickly withdrew his hand.
“I don’t care,’ Wayne said triumphantly and turned back.
In front of Ryan, he kissed Anna’s brow, his warm hand rubbing over her face. “I’ll see you when I’m
finished,” he said. As he quickly walked away, his leather shoes touched the marble floor. “Make sure
Anna is safe,” he said to Ryan
Thepetition Anna participated in was a joint event held by a dozen hospitals in the city, and it was
only held once every two years. As a result, not every intern could get the chance to participate in this.

People could volunteer to participate in this contest, but Nancy was the one who signed Anna up.
Nancy defended herself by iming that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Furthermore, Nancy
was confident that Anna could use her intelligence to distinguish herself from otherpetitors in the
competition. That way, Anna could thenplete the internship and possibly be promoted
Finally, Nancy convinced Anna, saying, “You’ve been switching shifts and taking time off a lottely.
You would have been fired if | hadn’t kept it from your superiors!”
On her way to the sight, Anna looked ahead cautiously as the windshield wipers scraped the water mist
off the windshield, and then a new one formed soon after. Anna gripped the steering wheel tightly and
drove slowly because everything in front of her was a blur.
Ryan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, remained silent while ying with a small toy in front of
him. It was a toy in the shape of a puppy, and the spring inside the toy shook whenever the car moved.
“Do you like these little toys?” Ryan asked.
“Tammy bought this for me,” Anna replied.
“Aren’t you going to see Tammy and Matthew off as they leave the country?”
After hearing Ryan’s question, Anna frowned slightly. “Tammy grew up around me, and she’s been
taking care of herself since she was five. She’s twelve now, and she grew into an independent girl.
Probably, it was because | wasn’t a good mother that she turned out so strong and independent. Also, |
did have some things to do, so | couldn’t make it to the airport,” she exined, “and since things have
turned out this way, it’s safer for them if don’t go there to see them off.”
“You’re right,” Ryan said, nodding. He then reached out and touched 478 We’re Expecting A Child a
stuffed animal’s head on the seat.
“What’s going on with you and Emily? You looked so upset when Wayne mentioned her just now/”
Anna asked bluntly, changing the topic.
Ryan then ced the doll in his hands andy on his back in the seat, staring up at the car’s roof in a
daze. He didn’t know where to start with this. After thinking about it for a while, he finally summed it up
in one sentence: “Emily is pregnant.”
“Huh?”
Ryan hit the front windshield after Anna mmed on the brakes. He grimaced and covered his brow.
“What’s the problem with that?” Anna asked sternly.
“There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s just that we were both drunk that night and got a little carried away,
so we didn’t have time to…” Ryan murmured as his face flushed.
“You don’t have to tell me that! | mean, you and Emily are already preparing for the wedding, aren’t
you? She’s pregnant, and of course you know what you should do next, so why are you so
depressed?” Anna pped him hard on the head as she thought he looked like a fool. “Do you have
something else in mind?” Anna asked, her face contemptuous.
Ryan shook his head sadly and then took a ring from his jacket pocket. The diamond wasrge and
beautiful, and it looked expensive. But as Ryan held the ring, he felt it was a hot potato.
“It’s not that I’m thinking of something else.”
Anna realized right away what he meant. She slowly started the engine without saying anything and
continued on her way to her destination. Ryan exined what happened to Anna on the way. 478

Two and a half months ago, when Ryan was on a mission, he stopped by Emily’s base and spent a
night there. It happened to be their group’s celebration party that day, and they both drank too much.
Emily was then pregnant.
And about a month ago, Emily calmly informed Ryan about her pregnancy. Ryan assumed she would
marry him next. Out of his expectations, she was appointed to rece her direct superior after he was
seriously injured in a covert operation. Her future would be bright as long as she seeded this time.
At this point, any mishaps, including marriage and pregnancy, could ruin her future.
“She thinks having a child isn’t as important as her career,” Ryan said.

“And then?” Anna asked.
“| saw her about a week ago. While we were eating at the restaurant, |
hid the ring in the cake, intending to propose to her. But she told me she was nning an abortion. |
thenpletely panicked, grabbed the cake, and left the restaurant,” Ryan said, pausing with a self-
deprecating smile.
Anna began to feel a trance and thought about things that happened five years ago when they were all
a little younger. At that time, Ryan had yelled in a cafe at his school, “Emily is so rude, I can’t stand
her,” Now, five yearster, he was looking at a ring and feeling sad.
“Do you want to know what | think, Ryan?”
“Sure,” Ryan said quickly because he could only tell Anna what was on his mind.
“Wayne and | broke up and got back together several times before we got married, and we went
through a lot together. Sometimes we didn’t
understand each other enough, didn’t trust each other, and weren’t honest 478 We’re Expecting A
Child
with each other. So, we were separated for five years. In fact, if we could have made everything clear
back then, we wouldn’t have had to suffer this torture.”
“You and Emily both did nothing wrong, You see, this is the difficulty that you need to go through in your
life together. If you can go through it, this will be your memory together. If not, it’s an ordeal. That’s all |
have to say. You understand what | mean, right?” Anna said with a smile.
As she turned her head and looked at him, Anna found that Ryan remained silent and appeared to be
deep in thought.
