Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Anna stayed with Peter until he reached the operating room door. Peter’s hand gradually separated from hers as the door closed. When their hands were entirely apart, she heard him thank her again in husky tones.

At that moment, Anna felt like she couldn’t breathe. She thought of some similar images as she looked at the light turned on in front of the operating room door.

“Grandpa thinks that our family would not be this happy without you, Anna.” Wayne sounded tired, but he still explained to Anna why Peter had thanked her before entering the operating room.

They stood outside the operating room, both feeling like time had stopped. Anna leaned against Wayne’s shoulder, recounting things that happened in the past.

Anna grabbed the hem of Wayne’s suit as soon as the door to the operating room opened. She breathed a sigh of relief only after hearing the doctor’s words.

“It’s allright, Wayne,” Anna said to Wayne.
