Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 577 We’re in This Together 

Two days later, Anna and Wayne went to Fleosil together. Anna went to the medical team station, while Wayne established a medical company there, specializing in producing hospital supplies such as masks and protective suits. Wayne did this because he genuinely wanted to help Anna’s career

The international airport in Fleosil was small and run-down, and the road outside was not even paved with concrete. As Anna and Wayne stepped out of the airport, they noticed a broken Jeep car approaching them. The car appeared to be on its last legs, and it was a miracle it was still running. It then stopped in front of Anna after a slight drift

The back of the car generated a massive cloud of dust. When the dust them vanished, Anna and Wayne finally realized who was sitting in the driver’s seat: Patrick. And Patrick was smiling brightly at Anna

After getting off the car, Patrick approached them. He yanked Anna’s backpack from her shoulders and slung it over his own back. “Dr. Wright, welcome back,” he greeted Anna happily. Meanwhile, Patrick pretended not to notice Wayne, who was apparently wary and disgusted

“We appreciate you coming to get us,” Anna said to Patrick politely

“| was worried you wouldn’t come back. Did you get everything taken care of?”

“That’s fantastic! Camila told me you were in danger at the time. You weren’t hurt, were you?” Patrick asked, then began to eye Anna

Seeing that, Wayne set his suitcase down and took Anna’s hand to bring her closer to him. He wanted to stop Patrick from looking at Anna that way

“We’re all fine, thanks to Camila,” Anna didn’t want to go into those specifics because they were highly confidentialBelonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Great.”

Later, after they walked to the car, Patrick said as he opened the passenger door for Anna, “Dr. Wright, please get in.”

Anna looked at Wayne, then at the beat-up car. Because this Jeep only had two seats, one of them needed to sit in the trunk. After hesitating for a while, Anna said, “How about | sit in the trunk?”

Shaking his head, Patrick replied, “Just get in the car, Dr. Wright. You know how rough the roads are here. It’s uncomfortable enough to sit in the seat, let alone stand in the trunk. There will be dust and bugs in the air.” With a brief pause, Patrick said to Wayne teasingly, “Besides, | don’t think Mr. Wright would agree to let you sit in the trunk.”

Wayne stared at the young man in front of him as he had no idea what he was thinking. Ofall the women your age in the hospital, why do you have acrush on my wife? She’s ten years older than you and she’s married! Don’t you think you should avoid Anna because she’s married? Wayne thought

Wayne would not have been offended if Patrick had just had feelings for Anna. However, Patrick seemed very proud about it and wanted the entire world to know he had feelings for Anna. And he was hostile to Wayne and always seemed ready to fight him. As a result, Wayne was terrified of leaving Anna alone in the hospital because he was afraid Patrick would hit on her. And he decided to follow Anna around every day

“Patrick, how about | drive the car? You’re a young man, so you won’t

577 We’re in This Together Ww possibly feel uncomfortable staying in the trunk for a while, right? You’ve been here for months, and | bet that you’ve already gotten used to the bumpy roads here,” Wayne smiled as he said this

Patrick was surprised when Wayne said that. He wanted to refuse, but he didn’t say anything after thinking for a while. He was afraid that Anna would think he was petty if he refused Wayne’s proposal

“I’m your instructor’s husband, so you should respect me just as much as you respect her.” Wayne continued

As she looked back and forth at the two drama queens, Anna was speechless. She didn’t expect they would still fight after not seeing each other for so long

“Why don’t you go back to your office first, Wayne? Our hospital is at the heart of the infected area, so it’s quite dangerous there. What about you call your driver and ask him to come to get you?”

“Right! You can’t help Dr. Wright in any way.” Patrick spoke up. He appeared to want to get rid of Wayne right away

can do the work from home. I’ve already been vaccinated, so | shouldn’t get infected. When you’re not with me, Anna, I’ll be worried about you. And | won’t be able to concentrate on my work.”

“Are you sure?” With a frown, Anna asked in uncertainty

“Yes, I’m sure. We’re in this together, aren’t we?” Wayne replied with resolution

Wayne was an eyesore, in Patrick’s opinion. So, Patrick knew the only way Wayne could stop talking was to bring up professional topics. After some thought, Patrick said, “Dr. Wright, by the way, | got about 500 patients to try the drug we brought earlier. They tried this drug three times and the results were getting better. The good news is the cure rate is nearly

95%. But, some patients also have side effects. Why don’t | report back to

577 We’re in This Together of you later with the details?”

Wayne knew Patrick had said it on purpose, but he also knew Anna took that test seriously. Raising his brows, he had no choice but to throw the case into the trunk and then sit in it

After seeing Wayne get into the trunk, Patrick smiled smugly and said to Anna, “Please come in, Dr. Wright. I’ll tell you more about the specifics on our way.” He took a stack of files from his shoulder bag and showed it to Anna after they got into the car

Anna then began to carefully read it. And she uttered, “We need to re-examine those patients who are experiencing side effects to make sure what the cause is. We must make everything perfect so the medicine can be successfully launched. You know, the American medical team is here too. We will turn our country into a laughing stock if we make a mistake.”

“All right, I’ll tell them when we get to the hospital.”

The engine made a humming roar when the car started

As the car bumped along the rough road, Wayne was feeling very uncomfortable. He grew up in a wealthy family with the best of everything, so he never imagined he would ride in a car like this. Wayne thought, / shouldn’t have let Patrick pick us up! Why didn’t ljust call my driver?

At the same time, Wayne could tell Anna and Patrick were talking, but he couldn’t hear them clearly. He gripped the roof rails tightly to keep himself from falling. To make his mood worse, the dirt and dust from the country road blew in his face, making it impossible for him to open his eyes

Undoubtedly, Wayne was in a bad mood. He was jealous of Patrick because that lucky guy got to sit with Anna. However, all he could do was stand in the trunk like a sucker and keep trying to dust himself off. For him, a clean freak, this was one of the scariest things in the world

About an hour later, they arrived at the hospital. Patrick drove them straight to the dormitory where they had earlier stayed. After dropping off her luggage, Anna went straight to the hospital, leaving Wayne

alone in the empty room

Wayne was relieved to find a cell phone signal there. He then called his assistant and asked him to prepare a car and some food. Wayne knew he couldn’t help Anna at work, so he wanted to make her life more comfortable. He took a shower and went to bed after making that call

And when Wayne woke up hours later, he realized he was alone in the room, and Anna was still at work. Then Wayne began to feel worried. He worried about Anna’s safety because her workplace was virus-infested and dangerous. So, he decided to go to the hospital to check on her
