Chapter 63 - Because Anne
Chapter 63 – Because Anne
Without a word, Linda immediately got up from her chair and ran to the stage to practice again leaving Edward alone. Linda only turned once while shaking her head at Edward as a sign that she refused to give Edward what he wanted. Seeing Linda's body language made Edward smile. He then downed his drink and threw away his plastic cup in the trash and walked towards the stage expressionless. Arriving at the stage, Edward turned into a good actor. He immediately adjusted his mood well. Carrying the role that he played made many female students who watched their practice screamed madly because of Edward's charm. But Linda was different. Linda actually felt afraid of Edward, who could be so calm. She was sure that the man was currently very angry with her for refusing to give him what he wanted. Everyone on the campus knew who Edward was. Rejecting Edward meant you're looking for big trouble. Therefore, Linda tried to stay away from Edward during the practice, even though it was actually difficult for her to do.
At the Capitol Hospital, Anne had just finished tidying up. She was allowed to go home. The IV needle in her hand had been removed, the dizziness in her head had disappeared. She was completely healthy, as if she had never been sick before.
"The medicine in this hospital is really extraordinary," said Anne to herself. She was very shocked by her rapid recovery. Even though last night her head felt like it was pricked by needles, the feeling had disappeared now.
While Anne was still fascinated with Capitol Hospital services, suddenly a nurse entered her room. She brought a tray filled with medicines and vitamins which Anne had to take home.
"The dosage is already written on each bottle, Miss," said the nurse kindly.
"Thank you, Miss, oh yes, can I ask you something?" asked Anne quietly.
"Please, if I can answer I will, Miss," replied the nurse again.
"My friend, my male friend who came to take me here, who slept on the sofa last night. Where is he? I haven't seen him since morning," asked Anne again.
"Oh Mr. Aaron Sean? He was having breakfast with Doctor Robin. You don't have to worry, Miss. After he is done, he will see you again," replied the nurse gently.
"I see, okay, Miss. Thank you," said Anne, smiling.
The nurse nodded her head slowly in response to Anne's words. Shortly afterwards she came out of Anne's room to continue her other duties, leaving Anne alone. Even though Anne was allowed to go home, she still had to meet Doctor Robin, who had treated her last night. So she still had to wait in the treatment room, even though she was no longer using the IV.
Actually, what the nurse told Anne earlier was a lie that the nurse made on Aaron's orders, because currently Aaron was actually receiving treatment from Doctor Robin for a sudden stomach ache. Not eating for a whole day had made his ulcer disease recurred, even though the pain had never attacked him for a long time. But this morning when he woke up he was again suffering from excruciating pain in the stomach. Therefore, he was currently receiving intensive care at Doctor Robin's office and he had ordered the nurses to make another excuse when Anne asked about his whereabouts, as he didn't want Anne to know.
"Why are you looking for trouble, Sir? Haven't I said that the ulcer you are suffering from is not an easy disease for you to ignore? If you're sick like this, you will feel the consequences yourself," said Doctor Robin quietly as he injected some medicine into the IV, which was still connected to Aaron's right hand.
"I didn't know that I would get sick like this, Doctor, no one wants to be sick, including me," Aaron replied quickly.
"I know you are worried and like the lady, but you also have to think about yourself first, sir. If you're sick like this, then who will take care of the lady?" said Doctor Robin teasing Aaron.
"You're so annoying, Doctor. Oh yes, how is Anne? Can she come home today?" asked Aaron softly, trying to change the subject.
"She has been allowed to go home this afternoon, but for the time being, let her rest for a while in the hospital, while waiting for you to finish getting your treatment. After you're finished, then I will allow her to go home. You don't have to worry about that, sir. You better heal yourself and don't make the lady worry about you. I'm sure the lady will be very worried when she finds out that you're sick," replied Doctor Robin with a smile.
Aaron's heart was beating very fast hearing Doctor Robin's words. He was really nervous when Doctor Robin said that. Doctor Robin just smiled at the change in Aaron's expression. He then returned to his desk and let Aaron rest.
Tring!! Anne's cell phone rang very loudly when it was activated.
Anne then reached for her cell phone to see who was calling her. Anne's face immediately turned red when she read the message that Professor Gilbert had sent.
Professor Gilbert informed her that she was asked to come to campus today for the distribution of tasks. Apparently all the wardrobes and costumes that the players were going to use had been cleaned. And she was asked to come to get her assignment so that nothing could go wrong.
"Oh, how can I go to campus, while I'm not allowed to go home," said Anne, confused.
Drrttt
Drrttt
Anne's cell phone rang loudly again, but this time it was not a message but a video call from Linda. With great doubt, Anne finally accepted Linda's call.
"Hello Linda," said Anne quietly, waving her hand at the camera.
"Where are you Anne?" Linda asked quickly.
"I'm in …"
"Anne, are you sick??!" Linda shrieked when she saw the remaining IV bottle that was still attached to the pole behind Anne.
Edward, who was standing beside the piano, immediately turned his head and ran towards Linda when he heard Linda's last words. He then grabbed Linda's cell phone.
"Are you sick, Anne? Which hospital are you in now?"
To be continued.
