Plaque! A loud slap landed on Anna's cheek. Anna stunned. He did not expect to get it at all, especially the slap came from his friend, Drew who was now standing in front of him with a red face extinguished. Undoubtedly, the woman was furious at Anna.
" Why are you so selfish ? All this because of your fault !! You caused Justin an accident. "many times Drew yelled at him with his eyes moist.
Anna could not even say anything to defend herself.
" I'll never forgive you if something happens to Justin ! "
****
" How about the doctor ? " Drew looks very worried. He immediately spoke to the doctor and slightly took her away, as if forgetting Anna's presence in the hospital. Anna took a deep breath. He looked at Justin from behind the glass. There was regret in his heart. Maybe Drew was right. Indirectly, he is the cause of the accident that befell Justin. Had they not promised to meet that afternoon, perhaps an accident would not have happened to Justin.
Anna stared at the small hoses stuck on Justin's body. It must have been very painful. The poor justin.

" Mrs Olivia ? " Anna exclaimed in shock. He had just arrived to visit Justin. Yeah, just visiting, because Drew insisted on not allowing him to keep Justin. Actually Anna was a little upset, because she thought Drew had no right to ban her. Drew has no relationship other than as a co-worker, unlike her brother-in-law Justin. But what can be done, Drew seems to be on guard 24 hours by Justin's side. Anna did not find the slightest gap to sneak up on Justin. He could only look at her from the outside of the glass, like the first time he came to this hospital when Justin was in an accident.
" Oh, Anna. How are you doing ? " Mrs Olivia sounds awkward, not as friendly as usual. Maybe it was because Drew was next to her, Anna thought.
Anna glanced at Drew who seemed to dislike his arrival. Madame Olivia seemed to understand the situation.
" Go in, Drew. There's something I need to talk to Anna about. "the orders are subtle. Drew was forced to comply even though Anna could see clearly that her friend was forced to do so.
" When did the lady come ? Is Josh coming with you too ? " Anna tried to get along, as before.
" I came last night and Josh didn't come with me" replied Mrs Olivia briefly and coldly. It was clear that he did not want to have pleasantries with Anna. Anna became clumsy. Surely Drew spoke nothing of himself so much that Lady Olivia seemed to ignore him, unlike the old days who were so warm to him. How thought.
" Anna, I need to talk to you seriously "
" good, Madam. Do we have to go somewhere. To the canteen for example ? " Anna offered.
" no. Here only. "the answer is short.
" Then let's sit down... "
" It's not necessary. I won't be long "reject Mrs Olivia. Anna gulped. It seems that Madame Olivia was not just awkward about Drew, but was already really angry with him.
" all right. "
" Anna, I need you to stay away from Justin. Don't be friends with him. Don't follow him and even if necessary you don't have to talk to him anymore. "
" B-but why, Madam ?. "
" Are you not aware of who you are now ?. "
" You're Jason's wife, Justin's brother. You should understand that a married woman can't hang out with other men." Miss Olivia added.
" But Madam, Justin and I have nothing to do but as brothers-in-law. " Anna tried to argue.
Madame Olivia breathed a long breath.
" Maybe you think so. But what about others ? I think there's a lot more different opinions out there than you. Besides don't you think about Jason's feelings ? ... "
" Me and Jason.. " Anna was about to tell the truth, but Mrs Olivia cut her off.
" Anna, I know you're a good woman. I also know what my sons are like. Justin is like Jason too. I know Jason can do anything when he's angry... "
" Ma-I mean Madam ? "
Madam Olivia nodded, as if confirming what was on Anna's mind.
" I don't want my two children to hurt each other. Understand. This is best for all of us. " Mrs Olivia ended her sentence and turned , going into Justin's inpatient room, leaving Anna alone.
****
Anna came home with a feeling of uncertainty. He's still digesting what Mrs Olivia said. Is it true that this is all Jason's doing ? Did he cut that off to his half-sister ? What did he do it for ? Doesn't Jason not care about him ?
***
A taxi stopped in the courtyard of the Wilderman residence. Anna uncovers her intention to get out of the taxi when she sees Jason opening the car door for a woman. Who else if not Ashley. Even when his brother was lying in the hospital, Jason still did not stop playing crazy with the woman.
" Have you changed your mind, Miss ? " ask the taxi driver.
" no. Can you wait a minute ? I'll be down in a minute "Anna replied. The taxi driver nodded. It seems he understands the situation. Anna waited until Ashley's car passed by.
" I thought you were gonna spend the night in a taxi ? " jason quipped as soon as Anna entered the house. Apparently he knew Anna was in a taxi and deliberately waited for her to enter the house.
" I think you're too worried about me "Anna's back to insinuating. Jason grunting.
" I'm afraid you're scared to come down because there's Ashley. Don't be afraid, he's not staying here tonight. "
" Hmm, your language is very rude, Anna. "
" Oyes ? What is the right word for that ? Or should I say that every day you are making**** in this house ? "
" You're starting to go too far. "
" You're the outrageous. You don't even care if your sister's in the hospital. "
" Ralat, stepbrother. "
" Whatever. She's still your sister. You should have looked at him. "
" For what ? He's going to go home. We get to meet every day "Jason replied indifferently.
" I was wrong. Your heart is not even touched by the events that befell Justin. Is it true what I'm guessing ? That's all you do ? "
" You mean ? You're accusing me ? "
" You once said that you would teach a lesson with your own hands. What does that mean ? "
" You ?.. Ah, never mind, you won't believe all of my words" Jason said in the end.
****
" So the patient has been moved ? " ask Anna on the hospital administration. That day, he could not resist his longing to meet Justin until he finally decided to come to the hospital even though Mrs Olivia had forbidden it.
" The patient's condition was very good and her parents wanted to take her home" the nurse explained.
After thanking the nurse, Anna immediately picked up her phone to protect Roberta. But the result is nil. Roberta said no one visited the house today. Anna's stunned. Where's Mrs Olivia taking Justin ?.
*****
Anna was pacing the hospital courtyard. He wanted to know where Justin was. But he didn't know who to ask. There was no way he would ask Jason, considering that the man did not even care about his half-brother's circumstances. Contacting Mrs Olivia is even more unlikely. Justin's mother has never picked up the phone from him since their last hospital talk. Only Drew might know Justin's whereabouts. At their first meeting, Drew looks familiar with Mrs Olivia. So most likely, Drew knew Justin's whereabouts. But did Drew want to tell her that ? Wasn't he so angry when he found out Justin was in an accident, and even he accused Anna of being the cause ?
Anna took a deep breath and then exhaled it. Right now, Drew's the only hope. He should meet her.
***
" What's up ? " asked Drew sniffling at Anna who had been following him as he exited his office building. He tries to avoid Anna, but in the end he has no choice but to face her.
" Justin. Where is she ? " ask Anna.
Drew sneered cynically.
" I don't know. "
" really? Drew, please, be honest. " Anna pleaded.
" I've already said it. When will you realize ? You're so selfish, Anna. You already have your own family. Why are you still teasing Justin ? You're the cause of all this. If you are a good woman, stay away from Justin !. "
" Drew, I asked her whereabouts not to see her. I just want to know that she's okay. "
" First you just want to know. After that you'll try to see him. You're gonna tease him. And it will all repeat itself. It's like a chain link. Can't stop unless you decide for yourself ! "
" Please, Drew, I promise, I won't see him. I promise you. You can hold my word. "
" Cih !! I don't even want to be in touch with your words. "
" Drew, please... "
" Go. Or I'll call an officer to kick you out. ! "
****
Anna got out of the taxi in a doldrums. Exactly as expected. Drew didn't tell him. Either because he doesn't know, or because he doesn't want to tell Anna where Justin is.
" He didn't tell you ? " a familiar voice greeted him. Anna looked up her face. Jason's on the porch. The man may be waiting for his return. But what did he say just now ?.
" What a pity. He was taking the delivery. Maybe you should kneel before your friend to let you know, "Jason's voice sounded mocking.
" What do you mean ? "
" You want to know where Justin is, right ? You should have been nice to have your friend tell you. "
" You said Drew was taking Justin ? "
" Yes" Jason replied short. Anna smiled.
" That means you also know where he is. "
