The True Queen

Empire city...I'm back again!

Anna stared out the window; she has come back again in this place. A city that holds so many memories but with nothing memorable. Walking back in this place… she feels like so close but yet so far.

Anna clenched her hands and only thought of revenge.

"Time for your medicine, Ms.," a nurse whispered beside Anna. She moved her wheelchair back to her room. "Let me help you, Ms."

She shook her head, not wanting to receive help. After taking the x-cell drug, she has to recuperate in the hospital, and her mother thought that this is the most advanced in the entire country.

Well, second to the underground hospital that administered the drug. It's best that she recuperated in a regular hospital. As of now, she looked like a frail, beautiful woman that has a weak body.

As she passed people, they keep looking her way, some even stopping and have their mouths hanging open. Anna's so insanely beautiful that it defies common sense. This is what her mother said.

Whereas Anna personally thought that with her black as night hair, porcelain skin, and a heart-shaped face with the lips of sin, well, she's the epitome of snow-white that she hates. She was beautiful before as Anna Rong, but this time it's a hundred times more.

Anna didn't bother about these people and proceeded to the private elevator that's only for VIP's when she caught a familiar voice coming from the nurse station. She stopped and moved towards the noise.

People are crowding, and some are even taking videos of a teenager, a boy that looks like eighteen-years-old. Anna gasped as she's so familiar with this boy.

She last saw him in her classroom almost two years ago.

"Please, I'm begging you! Please! My brother needs a bypass operation. I promise I'll pay after the operation, please, he needed it now," Marco begged the nurses and some of the doctors, but they're not looking at him.

They're ignoring him. This is a hospital for the rich and the wealthy, not for someone who has no background, power, and money.

Marco clenched his fist and kneeled. He'll do anything for his brother, even if he has to sell himself. He has signed to be a trial subject for a new drug to earn money.

He also sold his blood for a bit of money.

Anna's watching this scene in rapt attention. She knows this boy to be arrogant, never backing down and will never beg for any scraps even if he has none and he badly needs it.

Marco Lim is like a friend but not a friend. Anna doesn't have friends only lackeys but this boy...he has helped her so many times.

She's only able to notice now that all this boy has ever done is to try to help her. Marco once insulted her choice of friends, and they fought because of that.

There's also the time that he caught me sneaking but covered for me. Anna also remembered that before the "tragedy" happened, it was this boy who gave her his uniform to cover herself up.

It's like Anna saw an oasis amid the desert. She moved to get closer but stopped. He has probably forgotten Anna Rong, and what will she say to him?

She keeps pondering over it and still has found no answer.

"Ms.?" The nurse beside Anna spoke up.

"Call the hospital director for me," Anna ordered her private nurse. "There's something I need to do."
