Chapter 509 The Househusband
The next morning, Anna woke up at nearly nine o’clock. She felt her entire body ache as if all her
bones had crumbled. As she picked up her phone and looked at the time before sitting up, she
eximed, “Sh*t!”
The hospital had recently be even busier than usual. So, as chief of surgery, Anna just chaired a
meeting for all the doctors yesterday. She sternly told everyone they could not bete or leave work
early at the meeting. However, she hadn’t expected to be the first to break her rules.
After quickly washing and dressing, Anna dashed downstairs. Later, she saw Wayne sitting leisurely at
the table in the dining room, eating breakfast.
“Did you turn off my rm clock again, Wayne? I told you, if you turn off my rm clock again, | won’t
sleep in the same room with you!” Anna yelled angrily toward the dining room.
“| didn’t turn it off,” Wayne said calmly as he buttered the bread.
“Who else could it be? Matthew’s not at home, and Tammy is staying at Selina’s house. We’re the only
people in the house, along with a maid who cooked for us,” With a sigh, Anna decided not to argue with
him. Then she added, “Okay, I’m going to work. I’ll definitely discuss this with you tonight.”
‘‘Aren’t you going to eat something for breakfast?”
“I can’t. It’s toote. The patients are waiting for me.” Anna rolled her eyes and walked out the door
with her bag, saying, “Don’t bring me lunch to my office at lunchtime.” 508 The Househusband
“Why?” Wayne frowned and asked.
“The hospital has a cafeteria and I can eat there. If you’re bored, go find Karl and kill time with him.”
Then Anna walked out the door without looking back before Wayne could respond.
Wayne hadn’t cared about thepany since he let Matthew take charge. ording to Anna, “Wayne
has done nothing for thest three years but causes me trouble every day.” As long as he was home,
she was,te for work almost every day.
Beingte wasn’t a big deal for Anna. What bothered her the most was that Wayne came to the
hospital every day to bring her food. Wayne would bring her and her coworkers a lot of food if she
happened to be on the night shift. Knowing that he was showing his love and care for her in this way,
Anna still found it a bit awkward as Wayne had always the domineering CEO in her mind. And she had
difficulty getting used to the fact that he somehow became a househusband.
After Anna left, Wayne turned to the kitchen and asked the maid, “Did you put the breakfast in her car?”
“Yes, | packed her sandwiches and hot coffee, and | put everything on the passenger seat so she can
see them as soon as she gets in,” the maid said as she walked out of the kitchen.
“Anna has been getting busier since bing a doctor and works a lot of overtime. She doesn’t get
enough sleep. And she suffers from stomach problems. You should tell her how much you care for her.
Otherwise, she will only think you are meddling in her business without her consent, Mr. Wright,” the
maid said as she brought out another ss of freshly squeezed orange juice.
Wayne nodded, but he didn’t take the maid’s words seriously. He knew he still had a long way to go
before showing his love and care for her 508 The Househusband without being scolded by Anna. Yet,
he didn’t mind that Anna always med him for that in his mind, it was better than Anna ignoring her.
“By the way, you don’t have to cook for me at noon,” Having collected his thoughts, Wayne said to the
maid.
“You’re not having lunch at home?”
“No,” Wayne said, “I haven’t been back to my grandfather’s house ina few days, and I should go see
him”
Anna was wearing her white coat in her office when she heard a knock on the door. She looked up and
saw Nancy looking at her thoughtfully.
“Why are youte today?” Nancy asked, smiling.
“I’m sorry, | got upte. Are the patients waiting in the outpatient clinic? I’m on my way,” Anna
apologized
“It’s all right. Dr. Barnes just returned from his exchange program in the United States and happened to
cover your shift this morning.”
“Dr. Barnes has returned? What a coincidence!”
“I thought so, too,” Nancy said, surveying Anna. “I heard your husband is back. It’s a coincidence, too,
isn’t it?”
Nancy’s expression told Anna exactly what she meant.
“Why does he have to be in charge of everything?” Anna grumbled because she knew Wayne had
probably called the hospital and asked Dr. Barnes to cover her shift in the morning.
“I’m sorry;” Anna said helplessly, “and | promise you this won’t happen again”
Hearing that, Nancy became serious and asked, “Your husband cares so much about your life and
work, doesn’t he? So, do you think he will support you volunteering up north?” 508 The Househusband
Anna frowned, as she was unsure about this as well. She hadn’t figured out how to tell Wayne yet.
“Well, if you can’t go, just forget it. Do you happen to be free right now? Let me take you to meet the
new interns. Some of them are excellent, and the dean loves them,” Nancy said as she patted her
shoulder.
“Does the dean have time to care about these interns?” Anna tucked her stethoscope into her coat
pocket and followed Nancy out of the office. They talked about those interns as they walked.
“Our hospital admitted several medical students as interns for the past few years. Because of the
stringent selection criteria, only ten students will be chosen as interns each year, and there are only a
few who have the potential to be doctors. The situation isplicated this year. There aren’t
many students this time, but some are a bit special.”
“What do you mean?”
“You’ll know it when you see them,” Nancy said.
Anna frowned, thinking this meant they were in trouble. Before they arrived there, Anna and Nancy
could hear the chaos inside the intern’s office. The interns, who were gathered in a group, stood up
respectfully when they saw the two of them enter.
“Hello, everyone. This is Dr. Wright from the surgery department. She’s been busytely, so you guys
didn’t get a chance to meet her before,”
Nancy said to the group.

Anna then introduced herself to everyone. She looked at the seven interns one by one and finally
noticed one of them. “What’s your name?” she asked.
The young man wore a whiteb coat and was dressed formally. His skin was perfectly tanned, and he
was well-built and attractive. Meanwhile, 508 The Househusband the sparkling diamond stud in his left
ear caught Anna’s attention. Anna assumed that he was one of the most popr boys at his school.
Unfortunately, such students were her least favorite. “My name is Patrick,” the boy introduced himself
to Anna, smiling. “Have you ever read the internship handbook thoroughly? Why are you wearing
earrings? Are you going to tell us you came here just to fool around?” Anna grumbled.
Then Everyone was silent.
