Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 422 Peter’s Wish

Nancy’s punishment for Anna was to embarrass her. However, it didn’t matter to Anna because she wasn’t the one who imagined herself to be Peter’s illegitimate daughter.

Anna stood at the door and took a deep breath before entering Peter’s ward. She had long wished to meet Peter and speak with him about his condition but had lacked the courage to do so. Actually, Nancy provided her with an excellent opportunity.

Anna put the cup on the table and helped Peter sit up. She replied, “It’s a long story. Anyway, I’m your health care provider now. Have some water, please.”

Peter was still choked, but he drank the water anyway. He paused as if he had much to say. But, in the end, he just asked, “Where have you been all these years, Anna? | haven’t heard from you for quite some time.”

Anna sat in a chair next to his bed and explained, “I’m a doctor now. | was studying medicine in college, as you know, but I dropped out because | was pregnant. I’m currently studying in a medical school.”
