When Wayne‘s voice came from the other end of the line, Anna felt as if he was whispering in her ear and her face was flushed when she thought of that night.

Did I make such a request? I have no impression of it at all.

Anna summoned up her courage and said, “That‘s impossible. How is it possible that I make such a request?”

I was just drunk, not crazy.

“You are doubting me?” Wayne asked. “You mean that I‘m lying to you by making up a story?”

Anna was speechless. At the same time, she thought, Yes, there is no reason for Wayne to make up a story and lie to me. I might really make the request when I was drunk.

Although Anna still didn‘t want to believe that she really made such an unreasonable request, she thought she was very likely to do so because she was so drunk that day.

Then she stammered in embarrassment, “I didn‘t mean that. I was drunk that day and I don‘t remember what I said that night. I… I‘m going to pick Tammy up right now.” Then she hung up the

phone.

Anna caressed his head and said, “Matthew, be careful. Your hand is injured. Does it still hurt?”

Matthew shook his head and looked at Anna with attachment.

His hand recovered nicely and the plaster had been removed. But the doctor said that he still should be careful with his hand.

The maid was putting the dishes on the table. When she saw Anna, she smiled and said, “Hi, Miss Gabriel. The dinner is ready. You may have dinner now.”

Anna was stunned and then said with an embarrassed look, “No, thanks. I‘m here to pick up Tammy We‘re leaving now”
