When Anya was busy about the expansion, the hospital where her grandmother is confined suddenly called.
They said her grandmother needed a second round of operation.
Anya’s nerves shook as she hurried to fix her things to rush to the hospital. When she arrived, her heart was pounding as she talked with the doctor. “Doctor, is my grandmother alright?” Anya nervously asked the doctor.
“Ms. Anya, don’t worry there are no complications, it just the doctor found out that Mrs. Laurier needs a second round of operation. They found other health risk that needs to
be tended.” The doctor explained. He expounded more some of the medical terms and procedures Grandma Laurier needed.
Anya listened attentively and responded to him from time to time.
“I understand, doctor. I will do whatever needs to be filled and processed for the operation.” Bela determinedly said.
“You don’t need to worry. President Castellano had already arranged for everything. It is the duty of our hospital to cater to Mrs. Laurier,” The doctor answered and smiled amicably.
Anya was surprised when she heard this.
She never expected Damon would still be attentive to her grandmother after what happened.
Even though she felt he doesn’t need to do this, but she can’t help feeling moved. It was her grandmother after all.
But another thing was poking at Anya’s heart. It was doing things that were thoughtful even though one didn’t ask. This is something Anya hadn’t experience before. She grew up thinking everything had exchange or that there are no free things in this world.
Meeting someone who would be thoughtful and care, not only her but also people who are close to her gives Anya an indescribable feeling.
She had thought what she did and her responses to Damon and felt very guilty.
When she was pushing him away, he gave her space, but still helping her in the shadows. Her heart can help but sway.
‘He really is too good to me’.
Damon was listening to the report about the arrangement for Grandma Laurier operation.
When the diagnosis was made, the doctors he assigned to the grandma immediately reported to him. and without second thoughts, he had done all the necessary arrangements and process to cater the health of the old woman.
He not only did this for Anya but also directly for Grandma Laurier. He had been close to the grandma and he sincerely wished for her to be healthy again.
After listening to the report, he ordered to have attentive care to the matter of Grandma Laurier and dismissed them.
he really hoped for Anya and her grandmother to be well.
Back in the hospital, Anya stayed by her grandmother’s side to take care of her. When the old woman woke up, she was very delighted to see her granddaughter with her. Anya then chatted with her grandma to cheer her up.
The whole day, she took care and accompanied her grandmother to every procedure. That’s why when it gradually turned dark, Anya was very drained.
After she tucked her grandmother to bed, she then sat and rested for a while. Gradually, she drifted to sleep.
And she had a blissful dream.
It was sunny day, and Anya found herself in a boat which was in the middle of majestic lake. The scenery was breath taking and the wind was cool and fresh.
But the most wonderful view was in front of her, it was Damon.
He was smiling gently at him and presented her with a flower. It was a single stemmed flower, but it was very pretty.
‘A beautiful flower for a beautiful girl.’ His words were as sweet as his smile.
He tucked the flower behind her ear. And caressed her cheeks. Anya blushed as she stared at his face.
This time, she stared at him carefully. Although she seldom look closely to him, but right now, his face was very clear to her memory.
Damon was very handsome. His red and plump lips carried a gentle smile. His eyes were clear and it held warmth for her.
She remembered all his care and what he had done for her. She can’t help but tear up. He was right here in front of her.
‘I’m sorry.’ She whispered softly. ‘I really hate to push you away.’ She was pleading to be heard.
‘I want you as much as you want me, Damon’
She finally said her unspeakable thoughts. The words buried deep in her heart that she doesn’t have the guts to say.
His face remained gentle and softly smiling. His eyes told her how much she cared, and he looked at her like she was the only woman in the world.
Anya couldn’t help but thickened her skin. She wanted so much to be close, to touch and caress him too.
So she leaned her face and slowly, her lips descended to his. She bravely initiated to kiss him!
Her eyes were shut as she felt softness.
When suddenly, their boat felt like it bumped to something and it shook a little. Anya opened her eyes and saw they arrived in the wooden pier.
Her heart had a foreboding feeling that their trip and wonderful ride would end. No. she doesn’t want to.
She quickly turned to Damon but what she saw was no longer a gentle smile.
It was cold and dark eyes, like the night when he angrily walked out of her studio. And this time, it was the same.
Damon stood up, and turned his back on her. He stepped on the pier and stepped to leave.
Anya’s heart slowly broke as she watched his receding back.
That night, she didn’t acknowledge it, but deep down she knew she never wanted him to leave.
Looking at his cold back that did not even bother to look back, she felt he would never come back.
Anya’s tears flowed down as she stretch her arms out to him.
“Don’t leave!” Anya exclaimed when she woke up with heavy breaths. She woke up when she grabbed something.
Anya felt she was still in a daze.
Because the man she saw in her dreams was looking at her in this moment. Damon was right in front of her.
