Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

“I’m not sure when he’ll wake up, but he’ll wake up soon as the surgery was successful. Still, he needs someone to take care of him these days.-’

“Thank you.” Anna thanked Wayne’s attending doctor before exhaling asigh of relief. She thought. Thank goodness, you’re fine, Wayne! Otherwise, Jdon’t know what I should do. | still have so many words to say to you and I want to have another chance to be with you again! Thank God that you didn’t just leave me like that. If you died, | would spend the rest of my life alone.

Wayne was still in the intensive care unit and showed no signs of waking up. Anna stood in the doorway for a while, staring at him. Much as she wanted to stay with him a while longer, she couldn’t because there were still many patients waiting for her in the emergency room.

Before leaving, Anna called Gabe, wanting him to take care of Wayne for her while she was gone, “Gabe, the surgery went well and Wayne’s fine. He’s still in the ICU, but when he wakes up, he’ll be able to transfer to the regular ward.”

“That’s fantastic! Thank you very much.” Gabe said excitedly.

“How is Matthew doing? Does he know about Wayne’s condition?” Anna asked

“We didn’t tell him about it. Peters still in the hospital, so please don’t tell him about this. | don’t think he will be able to handle it.”

“No problem. Don’t you worry, the operation was a success.” Anna said. She was not only saying this to Jennie but to herself as well.

“W’m relieved that you’re here. Please come and visit us if you have some free time these days. We all miss you terribly.”

Anna paused for a moment and said yes.

It wasn’t until the next morning that the hospital finished dealing with the aftermath of the accident and reopened its doors to the public.
