The two of them seed to have suddenly returned to many years ago.
When the truth hadn’t yet been cruelly revealed.
"Annie, I won’t agree to your discharge from the hospital, don’t be willful."
Oliver Hudson spoke softly and gently, his palm sliding down as he stroked her hair. He had intended to encircle Annie Anne’s waist, but his movent abruptly stiffened upon hearing her next words.
"But I didn’t agree when you exposed our relationship to the dia, and yet you still did it, didn’t you? Uncle, should I bla you for being willful?"
Annie Anne struggled out of Oliver Hudson’s arms and pushed him away from her with her palm against his chest.
Her eyes still appeared innocent and pure, yet the smile playing at her lips seed to mock Oliver Hudson’s actions.
"Who told you?" Oliver Hudson lowered his voice.
He indeed had revealed to the dia that he and Annie Anne were now boyfriend and girlfriend, but in the hospital, he had already arranged for this to be concealed, not imdiately... even never intending to let Annie Anne know.
At least not until Annie Anne was discharged.
He thought that by the ti Annie Anne was discharged, this news would have already developed further, and even if Annie Anne clarified it imdiately, the impact would be much less than if it had been clarified at the ti it was made public.
Thus, Oliver Hudson had long since made arrangents at the hospital.
But he hadn’t expected that Annie Anne would still find out.
"Uncle, do you think we’re still living in ancient tis? Is it that hard to want to know such news?"
Seeing Oliver Hudson’s thoughtful expression, Annie Anne couldn’t help but smile.
"Or do you think that because of the accident on set, I also fell and hit my head, turning into a fool?"
Hearing Annie Anne’s words made Oliver Hudson frown.
Annie Anne then leaned in slightly, instantly closing the distance between them.
Their breaths touched and intertwined at this mont, their complicated gazes mingling together in midair, thick with tangled emotions.
It seed as if, through their eyes, they could see clearly into each other’s hearts.
But this was more like a silent ga of chess, neither daring to let their guard down easily.
It was Annie Anne who finally broke the quiet atmosphere.
"I don’t like it here, Uncle."
Annie Anne’s lips parted, a faint voice escaping, but loud enough for Oliver Hudson in front of her to hear clearly.
"Take ho."
She paused for a mont, as if that phrase had plunged them both into a shared mory.
Annie Anne gazed steadily at Oliver Hudson without saying more, but her look conveyed to Oliver Hudson the words she wanted to say.
Just like in the past.
Oliver Hudson’s throat moved up and down, and at last, he reached out to embrace Annie Anne in front of him.
Almost eagerly.
But in the end, he dared not tighten his arms to imprison Annie Anne tightly in his embrace.
"Alright, let’s go ho."
He affird with a single word, naturally not seeing the light in Annie Anne’s eyes gradually dim.
...
"What? You’re being discharged?"
Charlotte Thompson was dealing with docunts in hand when she received a call from Annie Anne.
She had planned to visit Annie Anne in the hospital after work today, but instead, she received a call first, and Annie Anne had told her such important news.
