After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 153

I questioned the man while eyeing the huge sunglasses on his face.

Whipping off his sunglasses, he looked at me in delight. “We met at the hospital back then. Don’t you remember me? Or am I really that unmemorable?”

At that, I scrutinized the handsome countenance that suddenly appeared before me. The man was at least a meter eight in height. The black sports attire he was wearing showcased his perfect figure, complementing his lovely golden-brown hair. He had bright eyes threaded with a hint of childishness, a straight nose, smooth skin, pink thin lips, and exquisite features.

His face seems really familiar… Ah, I remember now! He’s the guy I collided with back when I was kicked out of the hospital room.

“I remember now. I accidentally ran into you at the hospital previously.”

Since I was in a sorry state both times we met, mortification swamped me. I ducked my head, no longer daring to look him in the eye.

“Bingo! I knew you haven’t forgotten about me!” A smug smile bloomed on his face upon seeing that I had recalled him. Staring at me, he then asked, “Where are you going right now?”

His clear eyes glowed with warmth as he looked at me.

“I’m thinking of going to the hospital.”

I hadn’t been to the hospital in two days, so I was a tad worried about Steven. Besides, my mother wouldn’t even take my calls now. Every time I phoned her, she would decline the call right away.

“It happens that I’m headed to the hospital as well. So why don’t I give you a ride?”

The beaming smile on his face gave off a sense of youth and sunshine. Sure enough, it was great to be young. Judging from his looks, he was probably around twenty-five years old.

“No, it’s okay. That’ll be too much trouble for you,” I declined without an ounce of hesitation.

It was merely our second meeting, so we were yet strangers. For that reason, it seemed rather inappropriate to accept a ride from him.

“It’s no trouble at all since I’m going to the hospital anyway. Besides, I’ll even get someone to chat with me during the drive.”

Despite my demurral, he was still quite insistent. His enthusiasm went beyond my expectation, so I couldn’t think of a reason to refuse further at the moment.

“In that case, thank you in advance.”

Seeing that I had agreed, a grin split his face. Then, he swiftly strode over to the passenger seat and opened the door for me.

I flashed him a stiff smile before getting into his car.

Subsequently, the car started moving. The atmosphere felt awkward as I sat in the car with a stranger, for I didn’t know what to say.

“Oh yes, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Ronan Moore. What’s your name, miss?”

Just when the tension in the air was so thick that one could cut it with a knife, he finally broke the silence.

“I’m Anna Garcia,” I answered after glancing at his profile.

“Anna… one full of grace. That’s a good name.”

Ronan’s face lit up with a smile again upon hearing my name.

I eyed him in astonishment, not having expected him to easily discern the meaning of my name when he appeared blasé. Truly, he surprised me.

“Back at the hospital then, I noticed that you were kicked out of the hospital room. May I ask why?”

At that, I knew for certain that she was still feeling resentful toward me.

“Don’t worry so much, Mom. He’ll recover soon,” I comforted after having walked over to her, patting her on the shoulder.

Steven is everything to her, so it’s only natural that she’s feeling bitter to see him lying on the hospital bed now.

“You’re not worried because it’s not you lying on the hospital bed. If you were in his shoes, you wouldn’t be saying such a thing.”

Although my mother didn’t kick me out, her words still carried great rancor toward me.

Sighing, I walked over to her and remarked in exasperation, “Mom, what’s done cannot be undone, so don’t be mad anymore, okay? Steven’s legs will heal very soon.”

Honestly speaking, I had long since grown accustomed to her sarcastic remarks. But what difference would it make even if she resented and detested me right then?

“Just leave if there’s nothing else, for the sight of you is irritating me greatly!”

She coldly dismissed me before I had even said anything much.

I looked at her sorrowfully as anguish inundated me. Why? Just why can’t she get over it when the reality is already such?

“You’ve been at the hospital for several days now, so you must be tired. I’ll stay and take care of Steven tonight so that you can get some rest.”

It was plain as day that my mother had lost much weight in the few days she had been staying at the hospital. Thus, I couldn’t quite bring myself to see her exhausting herself further. She was my biological mother, after all, so I still felt distressed at her current condition.

“Forget it. Who knows whether you’re sincere in taking care of him? You might even just leave him here to his own devices.”
