Chapter 62 - Aaron's Pain

Anne woke up in the middle of the night feeling like she wanted to pee. She winced in pain as she pulled her left hand which was attached to the IV needle.

"I'm already in the hospital," muttered Anne softly, as she stared at the luxurious interior of the hospital room where she was in. ??

When she was looking at the interior of the room, suddenly her eyes caught Aaron's figure asleep on the sofa beside the door. Guilt immediately came to Anne when she saw Aaron sleeping on the sofa to guard her. Both of her eyes immediately filled with tears, her chest felt very tight. This was the first time anyone cared about her in her entire life, after Mrs. Chaterine, who had been her guardian angel in Germany for almost a year.

"Sorry, Aaron, I'm sorry. I've troubled you," said Anne quietly, as she wiped the water droplets that rolled down from her eyes.

Anne got up from the bed slowly, she didn't want to wake Aaron, who was sound asleep. After trying for a while, Anne finally got out of bed. She then walked to the bathroom not far from the bed. Just like when she got out of bed, Anne was also very careful when she got into bed again. She didn't want to make any sound that could trigger Aaron to wake up. After returning to bed and closed her eyes again, the drowsiness started to sweep her and she couldn't stand it. It looked like the effect of the anesthetic mixed with the drug stuck in her hand worked very quickly. Because she wanted to get well soon, she chose not to fight her drowsiness. She didn't want to trouble Aaron anymore, she didn't want to be indebted to other people.

Meanwhile, in the hotel room, Jack was still busy reading the proposal sent by Erick from Switzerland. The proposal had also been sent to UAL, but Jack wanted to reread it so that he understood what kind of cooperation his company and the arts campus were doing.

"Ok, I think this is enough. I'm sure Aaron will definitely be surprised tomorrow when he sees my company participate in this campus event," Jack said quietly, as he looked at the program shown by the UAL campus, which displayed clearly the names of students who took part in the stage.

Jack was very sure that Aaron was the key to replaceing Anne, and this made him very excited to follow all the activities that Aaron was currently doing. The guilt because of what he did to Anne the last time had forced Jack to struggle to meet Anne again to apologize. Things he had never done in his life, While he was thinking about Anne, he felt sleepy. Thinking of Anne at night was the last thing he did before going to bed, and this had been going on for nearly three months after he separated from Anne.

"I want to meet you, Anne. Give me a sign of your whereabouts," Jack muttered quietly as he closed his eyes.

Silence returned to dominate the hotel room where Jack was staying. He smiled as he slept. Jack couldn't wait to come to the UAL campus in the morning.

In the morning, the sun was shining very hot on the UAL campus. The students who got the roles had been practicing since morning. As the students of the arts campus, the event which would be held in three days was enough for them, moreover, this was just a simple musical drama where all the costumes and other equipment were already available. Linda, who got a role, seemed to have made mistakes several times. Thinking of Anne made her out of focus on the practice and that got her into trouble. Even Professor Gilbert had reprimanded her twice for not focusing.

After practicing for almost four hours, finally they were all allowed to take a break to enjoy lunch. Linda, who was already waiting for the break, immediately ran to the chair where her bag was. She immediately grabbed her cell phone to replace out about Anne, who hadn't replied to her messages since last night, and this had made her a little worried. She was afraid that something bad had happened to Anne.

"Why are you alone, Linda?" Edward asked, suddenly sitting next to the beautiful girl, bringing two glasses of soda for himself and Linda.

"Thanks, Edward," said Linda quickly as she accepted the glass Edward had given her.

"You haven't answered my question, Linda, why are you alone? Where's Anne?" asked Edward back to the point.

"That's what worries me, Edward. I couldn't contact her since last night. I'm afraid she's sick. Being poured with cold water in very hot weather will definitely give bad effects," said Anne quickly.

Edward was silent when he heard Linda's words. He agreed with Linda's words. He suddenly felt sorry for Anne, because she got into such trouble because of him.

"If it weren't for your girlfriend, maybe Anne is with us right now," Linda said suddenly.

"Sarah is not my girl anymore Linda. I don't want to have an angry girlfriend like that. I don't want my image to be damaged by a brutal girl like Sarah," Edward said quickly.

"What?! You broke up?!!" Linda shrieked in disbelief at what Edward said.

"Don't talk about it anymore. I don't want to bring up what's past. We better think about what will happen in the future," said Edward quickly, while drinking the cola in his hand.

Linda, who still couldn't believe Edward's words, drank the cola from Edward in one gulp. She couldn't believe that Edward would break up with Sarah in such a short time.

"Give me Anne's cell phone number," Edward said suddenly.

"W-what?! Do you want Anne's cell phone number? Don't joke, Edward," Linda replied quickly.

"I'm not kidding, why can't I have her number?" asked Edward, confused.

"T-that, I ..."

"Come on, kids, your break time is over, get ready again!!! We don't have much time," shouted Professor Gilbert loudly, startling the students who were still practicing including Linda.

Without a word, Linda immediately got up from her chair and ran to the stage to practice again leaving Edward alone. Linda only turned once while shaking her head at Edward as a sign that she refused to give Edward what he wanted. Seeing Linda's body language made Edward smile.
