Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Wayne smiled as he watched Anna leave, and he no longer appeared exhausted

After leaving the hotel, Wayne and Anna got into their car. Anna was upset the entire way, as if she recalled an unpleasant memory. She was about to cry when she felt someone take her hand in his. When she looked up, she noticed Wayne staring at her. And the colorful neon from the street reflected on his face. It wasn’t until then that she came back to her senses.

Finally, they were together happily. Still, Anna constantly remembered she was terrified when she walked out of the hotel more than a decade ago. She had suffered from insomnia since then and would frequently wake up in the middle of the night from nightmares.

Wayne knew what she was thinking and realized she was drowning in grief. He couldn’t talk about it because he was the one who had hurt her back then. Moreover, he realized that no matter what he said, it would not relieve her pain.

“In a hospital in the suburbs.”

“Hmm? Why?” Anna asked, puzzled.

Looking at Anna tenderly, Wayne started telling their story, “The man is named Bill, and his sister is Joanna. But the truth is, they are not biological siblings, nor are they related in any way. They met a few years ago in Ireland and returned to England together last year. Six months ago, Joanna was diagnosed with leukemia and is receiving treatment in a hospital. She never worked for Lemon, though.”

Hearing Wayne’s words, Anna gradually realized that everything was coming together. Following the incident. Lemon presented evidence denying that the workers’ illness was related to them. Yet, Anna provided financial assistance to those twelve workers after privately confirming their condition. Those people then stopped causing problems.
