Why was the person, who was supposed to be in the airport lounge, here?
“Where is Jack?” Anna asked.
“He’s in the office…” Bill suddenly realized he was out for medicine, thus hurrying to put his hands
behind him. But it was too late.
“Is he sick?” Anna raced inside with a frown.
“Yeah, the CEO complained about headaches recently, so he let me buy some medicine.”
“Recently? When did it start? He never mentioned it at home!” Hearing it, Anna became anxious.
“Probably, he doesn’t want you to be worried.” Bill felt awkward but gave the medicine to Anna. “I think
the CEO must yearn to see you.”
Taking the medicine, Anna darted into the office.
Lucy and Bill stood still and exchanged glances. It was really embarrassing.
Lucy even went crimson. Coughing, she plucked up the courage to say, “Thank you… for helping my
brother and the passport.”
Bill blinked and nodded heavily.

In the office, Jack leaned against the black leather sofa and closed his eyes quietly, with a layer of thin
sweat on his forehead. He wouldn’t stop working until the pain conquered him.
“Jack…” Anna called his name and rushed over.
Hearing her voice, Jack instantly opened his eyes. He endured the searing pain and put on a fine look.
“Why are you here? Shouldn’t you go to the airport?”
He was too sick but tried hard to pretend to be okay. Anna’s heart ached for him.
Anna moved forward with a glimmer of worry in her eyes. She put the medicine on the table, pursed
her lips, and poured a glass of water…
“Take the medicine!”
Eyeing her anxious look, Jack intended to say something but stopped at the sight of her tear-filled
eyes.
“Take the medicine and you’ll feel better!”
She put Jack in her arms and placed the glass on his lips.
Jack took the medicine without hesitation.
Only now did Anna feel relieved. She pecked on his forehead and then rubbed his head, letting him
nestle in her arms and breathe quietly…
About ten minutes later, the pills worked, and Jack regained his spirit. He patted Anna and left her
arms.
However, Anna was still worried about him, staring at him in silence.
“I’m fine… It’s just a headache,” Jack said gently, “I’ve been examined…”
“I’m scared. I don’t know what I can do for you. What if…” Anna rushed into his arms. Tears trailed
down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Anna could face up to everything, except for things related to Jack, which would make her lose control.
Embracing her tightly, Jack caressed her arms and comforted her.
“I don’t want you to be sad. I can’t control myself.”
It turned out that his body wasn’t his own long before. He had to take good care of himself, not letting
her worry, as her tears trailed down her cheeks into his heart.
Jack hugged her and said until Anna cooled down, “I’ll do a detailed examination again in a few days
and show you the result.”
Anna sobbed and held him back hard.
Jack knew it was her unique behavior, when she was thrilled or angry.
Letting her vent the anger, Jack embraced her and cajoled her, “I feel better after taking the pills. Don’t
worry…”
Thus Anna let go of him, but the sadness still lingered in his eyes.
Jack glanced at his watch. “You’re out of time. I’ll drive you to the airport.”
Then he stood up. But Anna was reluctant to leave; therefore, Jack smoothed down their clothes and
carried her out of the office directly.
Bill and Lucy were still sitting awkwardly. At the sight of Anna and Jack, they scooted up.
“What happened?”
Why were Anna’s eyes so red?
“I’ll take you to the airport. Lucy, take good care of her. If anything happens, please feel free to contact
me.”
Lucy nodded heavily.
On the way to the airport, Anna kept silent, only clenching Jack’s clothes tightly.
In order not to be discovered by reporters, Jack parked in an exclusive spot and signaled Lucy to take
Anna out of the car.
Lucy got out of the car immediately and ran to the other side. “Anna, our jobs in Paris start to pile up.
We should go. Otherwise, we won’t finish them in several days.”
Anna looked at Jack faintly and got out of the car. After taking a few steps, she said, “Lucy, I still worry
about him!”
Lucy then understood why Anna looked distressed. She said with a smile, “Anna, you know better than
anyone else that you’re not indecisive and you won’t regret what you’ve decided.”
“I’ll support you, if you want to stay.”
Hearing her word, Anna turned around and ran outside immediately. Luckily, Jack hadn’t left the
parking lot.
Jack was stunned. “Why do you come back? Did you leave anything?”
“No. I just want to see the examination in person. Let Bill arrange it. Otherwise, I won’t be relieved.”
“I can’t just go abroad like this. Your health is my priority.”
Jack stared at her and smiled affectionately. “Okay, let’s go to the hospital.”
How could he push away a lady who did everything for him?
Bill immediately arranged an examination. Anna stayed with Jack, until they got the test results, which
said that Jack was normal and his headache was because of overwork.
“See? It’s not a big problem. I’ll take care of myself,” Jack said softly, holding her shoulders.
His results were in front of her, and she saw the entire procedure. Anna, thus, felt relieved. But recalling
his painful look, she grabbed his hand and suggested, “Let’s go to Paris. I want to be with you all the
time.”
Jack would take a break as well.
Jack stroked her hair helplessly. “Are you sure?”
“Bill, book two flight tickets!” Anna took him out, determined.
Jack had to agree. He couldn’t say no to her.
