2 weeks had passed since Dylan had left. There had been only one call from him saying no one should worry but after that he never called.
Although he said everything was fine over there, Anna couldn't help but get worried. She was missing him she soon realized. Anna had been doing her therapy diligently like a good student although, sometimes when she couldn't take it she would threaten Jason and he would immediately yield. They became quite close and she found out about his one year in prison, he had been driving recklessly and then destroyed a company farm worth millions…Anna couldn’t help but tease him about it sometimes.Although Jason had told her that she was making progress, she didn't believe him because she wasn't feeling any improvements so she decided to push herself harder."Don't tell me you are expecting to walk in just two weeks Anna, you need to give yourself a break" Jason said staring at the girl who was panting heavily."20 more" Anna said ignWonder how they'll calm her down...
"Ella....I can't do that" Shola tried to reason with her, she herself was confused on what to do as she had not seen her daughter like this before. "Call him! I want to talk to him now! or else I am going to go and look for him myself!" the once cute angel now looked like a little demon, Su Chen stared at the girl in awe although no one knew what to do to calm her down. "Ella" Anna finally spoke up, unlike the other two adults in the room her face was calm and she was smiling slightly "Come here" she gestured with her hand, Ella shook her head angrily and refused to budge, Anna's smile didn’t waver. "Come on, Aunty Anna just wants to talk to you" Ella hesitated a bit before walking towards Anna. Anna raises the girl and put her comfortably on her lap. Anna wiped the tears from her face "Daddy is not dead" "But mummy said....." Ella began to argue "You didn't hear what mummy said clearly" Anna interrupted the girl before
Anna didn't know why, even up till this time, she couldn't bring herself to hate him. Despite everything that man had done to her.....she just couldn't. She still wanted love from him…she still had hope that maybe one day he would see her as a daughter and not some pawn in a game."N...Nathan!"Anna was brought back into reality when she heard Shola's shocked voiceShe watched as Shola ran over to the man standing by the door,he smiled as he saw her and Shola stared at his face for a few seconds before she hugged him. Anna knew that he was her husband and a huge smile appeared on her face just watching their reunion "Its really you....you're back" Shola said emotionally."Hmm, I'm back" Nathan said as he hugged her tighter.Anna sighed softly,They were just speaking about him, his daughter just threw a tantrum and now she realised it was all for nothing."Hey Anna""Ah!" Anna got startled, she would have hit the person behind her if the voice didn't

"Are you settling in nicely?" Dylan asked. While in China, that was actually the thing he worried about most. That she might feel as if she doesn't fit in or that she might be uncomfortable with anything.Thinking back to the words Nathan said to him about his worries, he quickly shakes his head.'Impossible....totally!' Both he and Nathan had been talking and Nathan didn’t waste time to tell him just how much he was bringing Anna up in every conversation.“You’re talking about her again” Nathan has reminded him countless times.“You must be head over heels…”“…No I’m not!” Dylan cut him off immediately. He didn’t want to hear the rest if his words, he already knew what he wanted to say.“Just saying” Nathan shrugged. The conversation had bothered Dylan for hours, he began to give through everything single action he had taken concerning Anna in his head…he wasn’t in love with her! He was sure of it! Or at least that was what he told himself.Anna played with her
"Heart break?""Heart break!" Chesa nodded, although she wasn't planning to tell Anna, she just felt like at least one person should know.And she was also horrible at keeping secrets and she really didn’t want to see Anna end up hurt because of the feelings she had for Dylan."You remember that spy I told you about, there was actually an incident before that…” Chesa said, she was trying to create suspense but Anna only nodded."You know that girl was actually..."KNOCK! KNOCK!! KNOCK!!!The persistent knocks interrupted Chesa, she groaned annoyed at the interruption."I'm coming, I'm coming ai!....why knock so loudly?" Chesa complained as she opened the door, her words stopped midway as she stared at the man in front of her, her face flushed as she buttoned up her shirt with a nervous smile. "B...Brother Mu, you've arrived? Its been so long, it is nice to see you again” Chesa said with a shaky voice, her face fkushed pink. Sh
Anna slept well that night, it was one of the most peaceful nights she has had in a long time. She woke up with a smile. She was in a really good mood the next morning, not cursing at the alarm, not minding Efya's words. Efya of course didn’t stop her taunting but Anna didn’t feel down like she usually did. She felt eased, the only thing that left her unsettled was the fact that her mother was with that man. She recalled when her sister had been warning her about their father's ruthlessness, she wondered if her mother would be okay being with him. She planned to ask Nathan to give her the full details today about why he sent their mother to that man, she knew from his expression that he felt guilty but he didn’t look like he did it for nothing. After getting ready, she left to go and meet Jason as usual although, now that she knew Dylan was here she was sure she won't be able to focus one bit. "Some one is in a go
"Li Chen, are you okay?" Anna asked making Li Chen consider jumping off a cliff.The woman he liked just watched him get beat up, this is by far the embarrassing moment of his life."Ahem! It's nothing, I'm totally fine" he said when he finally found his voice. He forces a smile, now that he finally acknowledged his feelings, being so close to her doesn't feel so uncomfortable anymore, except for the way his heart was beating currently."What about you?, your exercises.....are they going ok?"Anna nodded "Yes they are"Her eyes were brighter, she seemed really happy and she also didn’t seem to care about him just getting beat up."Hey little Anna, do you want to get lunch with me?" Su Chen asked putting his hand on her shoulder.Anna pushed his hand away and dusted her shoulder like there was dirt on it."Li Chen, would you like to have lunch with me today?" Anna blinked innocently at the man not knowing the impact her words had on him.Li Chen choked,
Dylan stared at the girl's tears and realized he was being too harsh, everyone could clearly see that he was overreacting, it wasn’t forbidden to leave the Duan Base, especially if the left with Li Chen…he didn’t need permission from Dylan to go in or out."J...just remember to tell me next time when you are going out" Dylan said before turning around to leave, now he couldn't get the image of Anna crying out of his head now.He felt guilty, 'I shouldn't have yelled at her like that, why was I acting so stupid?' he though to himself, with a deep sigh he increased his pace. He couldn't stay close to the girl any longer......"Anna, just ignore him okay?" Li Chen consoled the girl."Huh?" Anna brought out her handkerchief and dabbed her eyes."Gosh, how could I forget to blink?"She complained to herself, Li Chen heard her and was trying really hard to hold his laughter. So she wasn't crying but forgot to blink?He notic
