Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 36

After getting to the hospital, Tammy dragged Anna all the way to the inpatient department

“Tammy, slow down. You’re going to pull off my arm.” Anna reluctantly followed her out of the elevator. She couldn’t believe what Tammy said until they walked into the ward and saw Matthew lying in bed.

“What happened to Matthew?” There was no one other than Wayne’s grandfather in the ward.

He was delighted to see Anna and quickly stood up. He asked deliberately, “I’m sorry, you are?”

Anna hurriedly introduced herself, “I’m Anna Gabriel, the manager of Carousel Hotel. My daughter goes to the same kindergarten with Matthew. Are you Matthew’s relative?”

She seems to have a clear mind and is very polite to me. Besides, she somehow looks like Matthew. The old man really came to like Anna. He looked at Tammy, who was making a face, from the corner of his eyes and said amiably, “I’m Matthew’s great grandfather.”

“You’re the president of Carousel Group?” Anna immediately stood straight up, “I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you.”

“It’s alright.”

The old man invited her to sit, “Sit down please. Matthew has mentioned you before. He likes you a lot. I know you because you saved Matthew once.”

Anna was less nervous seeing that the old man wasn’t as mean as he was in the rumor, so she sat on the chair next to him and asked worriedly, “How did Matthew get hurt so badly?”

“I don’t know many of the details. He was hurt in Wayne’s house. It’s said that he fell down the stairs from the second floor. The doctor has just finished the operation and told us that Matthew’s right arm

was broken and his left arm was dislocated. There are many wounds on his body. Well, Matthew has never been taken care of by his mother. Yet he has to suffer from the disease and the injury.”

After hearing this, Anna’s heart ached for Matthew. She hadn’t communicated with Matthew a lot, but he was as old as Tammy. Besides, she had a lost son who was of the same age as him. Matthew always reminded her of that son. Has my little boy been adopted by someone kind? Does he have a mother? If he doesn‘t have a mother, maybe he is living a life like Matthew‘s.

“Fortunately, kids can recover quickly. He needs to eat more nutritious food.”

The old man looked awkward, “Really? But Wayne has fired all the servants in anger. I don’t trust them either. These servants aren’t careful enough.”

“It’s alright. I’ll have a rest on the weekend. I can make some food for him.”

“That’ll be fantastic. Thank you, Ms. Gabriel.”

“You don’t need to thank me.” Anna looked at Matthew’s pale face, Matthew and I hit it off when we first met each other. I want to do something for him. It’s not a big deal.”

While they were talking, the door was pushed open from the outside. Wayne walked inside, followed by Ada.

Wayne’s face changed when he saw Anna, “Why are you here?” “I heard that Matthew had an accident, so I came to see him.”

“You heard?” Wayne was in a bad mood because of Matthew’s accidents. Now his face darkened, and he questioned Anna, “How did you manage to hear about the accident at two o’clock in the morning? It hasn’t been half an hour after the operation, and you have already rushed to the hospital. What do you want?”

Anna was perplexed by his strident questions, and she also felt upset after Matthew‘s great grandfather told her how Matthew fell down the stairs. She immediately stood up and said relentlessly, “Is it the right time to investigate in how I heard about the accident? You son is lying in bed. I can’t believe you can still spare time to see whether I have an ulterior motive.”

“This is a family affair of mine. Don’t forget that you’re only a mere manager in the Carousel Hotel of my group.”

“I certainly have no right to ask about your family matter. You have such a big power that you can kick me out of my job with one sentence. But this isn’t work time. I only come here to see my daughter’s classmate. At first, I thought he had some little wounds because he was too naughty. But when I came here, I finally knew that he had to stay in hospital for a

few days. He fell down from the second floor. How can you be so careless? Are you aware that you may have lost your son forever if his head hit the ground first?”

Maybe because she had suppressed too much emotion or because she had too much pressure from work these days, she suddenly lost her temper especially when she knew that Matthew had been injured twice for no one took care of him, “Do you know why Matthew won’t call you dad? You don’t care enough about him. Try ask yourself this. Can he rely on you? Do you make him feel safe? He’s your son. If you’re not willing to stay with him and love him, why did you give birth to him in the first place?”

Anna’s words hit Wayne’s sore spot, which made him speechless. He looked down and frowned with a gloomy expression. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

At first, he only wanted to use Matthew to cope with his grandfather’s pressure on him so that he could take over Carousel Group.

He felt more and more embarrassed because Anna accidentally approached the truth. When he was about to say something, Ada standing beside him said unhappily, “Ms. Gabriel, don’t you think you have overstepped the bounds? This is his family matter. It’s none of your business. You have no right to tell him what to do.”

“Who told you she has no right?” The old man suddenly said, his voice resounding through the ward. “She is telling Wayne how to be a father from the perspective of a mother.

She has a right to do so because she has taught her daughter well. Wayne, you should

reflect on what you have done. You are a good CEO, but do you think you’re a good father?”

Ada couldn’t believe that the old man stood by Anna Gabriel. She was so angry that her eyes opened wide and her hands were trembling.

Why does this woman keep haunting me? She first made the annoying boy like him, and now even that old man stands by her side. Ada blurted, “Even so, she’s not a family member of Wayne. What is she doing here in the middle of the night?”

Tammy, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted, “But auntie, you’re not a family member either. What are you doing here?”

Ada turned pale because of anger, “Little girl, what are you talking about? I’m Wayne’s fiancée. Of course, I’m a family member.”

“Fiancée? So you haven’t got married with Uncle Wright yet.” Tammy shrank behind Anna, blinking her eyes innocently.

“You…” Ada didn’t know what to say.

Sitting behind Anna, the old man secretly high-fived Tammy, still looking as calm as usual.

“Enough. Matthew needs to rest.” Wayne frowned and glanced at Ada, “It’s late. You can leave. I’ll stay here and take care of Matthew.”

Ada certainly knew that Wayne was impatient. She still had a lot of things to do, so she didn’t stay longer. But when she walked to the door, she suddenly realized that Anna and her daughter were still there, so she slowed down. How can I leave and let them stay here?

Then Wayne’s voice came out from the ward, “You can also leave now. You don’t need to stay here.” She was finally relieved and left leisurely.
