Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After…

Chapter 556 Let’s Be Together

At that moment, tears welled up in Anne’s eyes. She felt that she was not alone. She lay there in a daze while undergoing the operation, with Yancey on the bed next to her, giving blood transfusions to her and her daughter. At that moment, Anne thought that he was like the baby’s biological father. For the first time in her life, she felt a strong sense of security from him, convinced that he was a responsible man. Because of the anesthesia, she couldn’t move her body, but she was aware that Yancey stroked her cheek and whispered in her ear after the blood transfusion was over, “Now, does the baby have my blood running through her body? Anne, can you give me a chance to take care of you and your daughter for the rest of your life?”

Anne, under anesthesia, made no reply. But at that moment, seeing Yancey falling asleep beside her bed due to exhaustion, she suddenly wondered if she should give him a chance and herself a chance to start over.

Lying on the edge of the bed, he seemed to sense something. He opened his eyes and immediately checked whether the IV needle on the back of Anne’s hand had finished dripping.

“Did I hurt you?”

He let go of Anne’s hand. “I didn’t mean anything else. I just saw that you were cold, so…”

“Yancey,” she said.

He was stunned that she suddenly called his name so seriously.

“What’s wrong?”

“Do you mind if I bring my daughter with me when we go on a date?”

Yancey was taken aback. After realizing the hidden meaning of Anne’s words, he stared at her in disbelief.

“What did you say?” His low voice betrayed his surprise, and his wide eyes were fixed on her cheeks. Yancey was afraid that he had misheard her, for he had just awakened, or perhaps he was still in a dream. He tried to stay calm, looked into Anne’s eyes, and asked hesitantly, “What did you say? Can you repeat it?”

Lying on the hospital bed, she met his gaze. Noticing that he had released her hand, she took the initiative to grab his hand.

“I said, let’s be together.”

At night, it was cool. The moonlight generously shone on the earth. Meryl and Chandler walked out of the inpatient department of the hospital together. He put his arm around her shoulders. “Are you still angry with me, Meryl?”

She shook her head and then nodded.

Chandler pressed Meryl into his arms and said, “I ignored your feelings before. It won’t happen again. I will let Walter handle her affairs from now on.”

She asked, “How did Rachel’s brother save you back then?”

Chandler was silent for a few seconds. It seemed as if he had prepared himself mentally for a long time before saying, “They were a group of drug lords. During a police crackdown, they just happened to escape to the vicinity of our village. That day, Andy and I went up the mountain to pick mushrooms and ran into them. They took us hostage and kidnapped us.”

When talking about the past, Chandler lowered his voice, feeling quite depressed. Meryl was shocked that he had met some drug lords.
