The Substitute Bride: Making Memories Of Us (Lois Stone)

Anna cast a cold glance at Linda as she said, "Don't worry, Miss Linda.Let's continue the meeting."

Linda was embarrassed.

Anna thought that she shared a special relationship with Brian, which probably gave her the courage to humiliate Linda in front of so many people.

But Linda wasn't going to take this lying down.She would make Anna pay the price of this humiliation.

The meeting ended in half an hour.

Anna took alli her notes and material for the morning meeting with her.She then bought the abalone porridge and some desserts, along with some of Brian's favorite dishes.

Brian had remained with Ayla, but she showed no signs of waking up from her coma.

The doctor seemed to have tried everything in his arsenal but had come up short.

He looked helpless as he shrugged, indicating that maybe all they could do was wait for her to wake up on her own.

Anna spotted Brian sitting by Ayla's bedside as she entered the ward.

"What's wrong with her?"

Anna asked him as she glanced at Ayla, concerned.

Brian shook his head.

"Nothing serious.Give me the minutes of the morning meeting and you can leave."

"You didn't get any rest last night.You should go get some sleep.I'll stay with her for a while," Anna said, handing him the food and coffee she had bought.

"No, thanks.You can go back to office.I'll stay here with her."

Brian was worried about Ayla.

He couldn't leave her side in this condition.

Anna knew that Brian was a man who, once he made up his mind to do something, would do it, no matter what.

There was nothing she could do to convince him otherwise.

And now that Ayla's condition seemed serious, she had no hope whatsoever.
