Chapter 199


    stor was at a loss for words, seemingly recalling Anastasia’s efforts. His gaze lowered. “Anastasia,


    I’ll make it up to you.”


    “Making it up, that’s what you say every time.” Anastasia only felt amused.


    “Getting divorced and obtaining the divorce certificate upon leaving the hospital is the greatest


    compensation for me,” she thought.


    “That couch, when unfolded, serves as a makeshift bed for caretakers. It is not asfortable as your


    few-hundred-thousand-dor mattress at your home. Just bear with it,” Anastasia said indifferently and


    lay down. Anastasia covered herself with the nket and showed her back to stor. Turn off the lights


    and go to sleep.”


    She didn’t want to see him.


    stor sat on the couch and looked at Anastasia for a while. stor eventually stood up, walked over


    to the bedside, and raised his hand in an attempt to help her cover the nket.


    But Anastasia seemed to have discovered his intention. Anastasia covered herself with the nket and


    didn’t give him this chance.


    stor stood stiffly by the bed and looked at Anastasia for a long time.


    “Annie…” After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice.


    Anastasia ignored him.


    Perhaps it was because every time he came home so exhausted in the past, Anastasia would gently


    embrace him, take off his clothes, and softlyfort him.


    But now, all Anastasia gave him was a cold gaze and her back.


    Seeing that Anastasia ignored him, stor sat by the bedside andy down sideways to hold


    Anastasia in his arms.


    The hospital bed was so small that two people could hardly fit.


    Anastasia felt disgusted and clenched her hands tightly until they went numb. “Stay away from me.”


    “Annie…” stor’s voice remained tired as he buried his head in Anastasia’s hair. “Let me hold


    you, please…”


    “No.” Anastasia tried to push him away. However, she identally tugged at her wound, causing her


    forehead to break out in sweat from the pain.


    “Annie… Please. Just like before, okay?” stor was probably not ustomed to it.


    He was not ustomed to Anastasia being so cold to him.

    Anastasia’s body significantly stiffened. With teary eyes, she looked out the window.


    She thought, “Just like before and be a soulless walking dead?”


    “stor, who do you think you are?” Anastasia chuckled sarcastically. “Do you think I can’t live without


    you?”


    “Annie…” stor didn’t answer Anastasia’s words but kept calling her name repeatedly.


    The intimate way


    he addressed her was a manifestation of his married yearning. stor rarely addressed her that way.


    In the past, he would only call her Annie when he was emotionally moved.


    Tears gathered in her eyes. It turned out that it was both painful to love someone and also not to love


    them.


    When in love, the painy in stor for not loving her.


    When not in love, the pain came from regretting the limitless efforts she had put in


    Perhaps Anastasia should be more selfish. A bit more selfish would be better.


    “I’m so tired.” stor’s voice was hoarse. “My father… came to thepany today, saying that his


    illegitimate child has the right to inherit my grandfather’s estate and asked me to give up my shares to


    him.”


    stor’s voice was hoarse, and he just wanted to talk with Anastasia to relieve some of his mental


    pressure.


    In the past, stor rarely talked to Anastasia heart-to-heart.


    But Anastasia always keenly sensed when something was off with him.


    Now, Anastasia was toozy to care about his emotions. However, he was shameless enough to tell


    her voluntarily.


    “Your grandfather’s will has been notarized. You don’t need to give them to him. They belong to you.”


    Even so, Anastasia still spoke.


    Perhaps she hadn’te to hate stor to that extent yet.


    She was just tired and didn’t want to love him anymore.


    “The validity of the will is based on me being married. If you divorce me now… What should I do?”


    stor seemed to be admitting his vulnerability.


    “Annie… Thepany affairs and my grandmother’s condition are so overwhelming that I’m


    suffocating. Can you not add chaos to me at this time, please?” stor tried to coax Anastasia into


    being sensible as before.


    Anastasia took a deep breath. Anastasia knew it all along. stor would not be so attentive without a


    reason.


    “After our divorce, you and Felicia can get married immediately. Same thing,” Anastasia suggested to


    stor with a hoarse


    voice.


    “Are you really going to give me to someone else?” stor’s voice was also hoarse.


    Anastasia was well aware that if she still insisted on getting a divorce after thismotion Christian


    had caused by returning with an illegitimate child, stor would be forced to marry someone else


    immediately, even if unwilling, in order to consolidate his position in the Lopez Group.
