An Innocent Heart Longing For Love

Two hours later, Anna woke up. Her hands were pinned with IV and she was startled for a moment, she skimmed the room quickly and found a familiar silhouette standing near the floor to ceiling window nearby her.

Once she found his presence, she was more relaxed. For a split second, She started thinking that his reappearance and their marriage all but a dream. Only when she saw him again, she believed that everything was real.

Anna looked at him intensely for a long time, afraid that he will disappear any minute. Shane felt the boring eyes on him, he turned back to find Anna staring at him intently.

"You are awake, you gave everyone a heart attack" Shane smiled.

"I am sorry" Anna replied. Shane's eyes shot up, this girl actually apologized for fainting.  Never mind! She must be trained well as a puppet in Lu's Hands.

Her pale face regained it's colors, her faded cheek is started blushing once again.

Shane noticed her face blush, he thought to himself, ' I must not create an impression of giving her hope, later it will hurt her more when the hope is taken away.

"We are going New York today", Shane informed in a plain tone with no emotions. The emotionless man's face is returning to resurface once again.

He is returning to his shell, The Lone Wolverine which only accepts a solitary life, once again started drawing a thin line between the person close by him. Anna didn't notice the difference, she was used to this side of his personality.

Anna was confused, "What? Why?! "

He thought carefully, 'it is best not to scare her now' and he comprehended the words, "Because my exams are nearing and your exams are over; we are heading back to New York to settle down as earlier as possible". He tried his best not to alarm her.

Anna was perplexed, "So that's it, then! I AM MARRIED JUST LIKE THAT!! NOW, I AM GOING TO SETTLE DOWN IN NEW YORK ON THE SAME DAY OF MY MARRIAGE…!!! Wow… Ahh… As expected as of Aunt Luyisa. Just in a day, she changed everything upside down. Hmm... Did father accept it?" She inquired with confusion.

Shane looked at her carefully and replied her without hitting the scaring button, "Your father broaches us to board to abroad. He even took initiative to make arrangements." He tried to make the sentence as simple as possible without leaving a hint for suspicion.

Anna was startled, "My father is making arrangements?!" She could not believe her own ears, she needs to confirm that she heard correctly.

Shane nodded without mouthing a word; He should end the conversation or else, it would end in a bad state. It would be bad if she stressed now with fear or anxiety.

Shane said cautiously, "You need to rest, don't work up with your brain, Just sleep! Okay!"

"Okay!" She slides down and tried to close her eyes; Only then, she realized that she is in hospital wings. ' What the hell!! What am I doing in hospital bed!!' "What happened to me? Why am I in here?" She questioned Shane.

"You fainted and I panicked a little! That's it, nothing serious! Now close your eyes and sleep. We have a long trip tonight, don't exhaust yourself" Shane shut the conversation.

"Okay!" Anna relaxed. She slept peacefully with an overwhelming sense of security.

Once Shane heard her soft snore, he made a quick call, "Michael!"

The person at the other end of the phone replied sluggishly, "Oi! Oi! What's up, Man!"

"I need some inside information about Symonds Corporation" Shane Inquired.

"What's it?" Michael asked without much concerns.

"Is there a mole in the company?"

"Where on earth are you living, Man? A mole! Do you think it is just a mole? The whole corporation is tearing down. Not just one person is involoved, there are many including your Aunt Lulu."

Shane stood quiet, he did expect this.
