Chapter 96 Just as They Meet for The First Time
William woke up in the afternoon of the next day.
Ann asked for leave and stayed by William's side.
Seeing that William had woken up, she quickly pressed the service bell and called the doctor.
The doctor came very fast. Ann retreated to the side and asked the doctor to check William's body.
The doctor said that William was fine. Ann heaved a sigh of relief.
William saw how haggard Ann was. He remembered what Sansa and Jenny had said before he
fainted.
He held Ann's hand, "Sorry for making you worry."
Ann's eyes turned wet but she shook her head.
"It doesn't matter as long as you are fine." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
William patted Ann's hand and smiled.
Phillip opened the door and entered. When he saw that William had woken up, he also felt relaxed
slightly.
Ann would no longer have to be on tenterhooks.
Phillip walked to Ann, and his hand were landed on Ann's shoulder as he looked at William.
"Mr. Scott, the weather has changed too frequently. You have not fully recovered yet and had better not
to go outside."
"The doctor said that your illness suddenly worsened because you had been outside for too long. You
can't do that in the future!" Ann warned him.
William was slightly stunned, and his gaze moved from the hand Phillip placed on Ann's shoulder to
Phillip's calm face, and he understood something.
The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were very deep, which were the marks that he spent most of his
life working hard for the family.
William sighed in his heart and looked up at Phillip.
"Thank you."
Phillip had arranged a hospital for him before, but he thought that it was just a method that Phillip had
used to pursue Ann.
Now, he truly saw that Phillip treated Ann with care and respect.
Phillip understood the meaning of William's thanks and nodded at him.
Ann looked at them and noticed that William seemed to no longer be as repulsed as before.
Although William had woken up, he was still weak and he fell asleep after talking with Ann for a while.
Ann closed the door and looked at Phillip with a smile.
"You are in a good mood today, right?"
"Can you see it?" Phillip raised his eyebrows.
Ann was speechless.
She complained in her mind, 'You are always angry or expressionless. Is it difficult to notice that you
are in a good mood?'
...
It was not too late, so Phillip suggested going out for a ride.
Ann was a little hesitant, but when she remembered that William was fine, she didn't refuse.
Ann sat in the car and guessed several places that Phillip might take her to. But when the car stopped
at the entrance of a middle school in River City, she widened her eyes in surprise.
Phillip unbuckled his seat belt and walked towards the security booth.
Ann hurriedly followed. It was unknown what Phillip said to the security guard. The security guard was
originally serious, but suddenly opened the door and let them in with a smile.
Ann followed behind Phillip and entered.
She asked him in a low voice, "What did you say to the security guard?"
Phillip glanced at her, chuckling.
"I was a student here."
Ann was a little surprised and could not help but take a few steps back. The school looked like an
ordinary school in River City.
She had always thought that Phillip should have been studying at a noble school, even if he had not
been tutored one-on-one or studying abroad.
But when she thought of Phillip's identity as an illegitimate son, Ann understood.
She turned around and saw Phillip's calm face. She felt a little distressed.
She looked down at Phillip's hand. It had distinct joints and slender, as good-looking as a meticulously
carved work of art.
Phillip felt the soft touch in his hand and lowered his head slightly. He saw Ann's slender and delicate
fingers holding his. She seemed to be a little nervous and did not dare to hold tightly.
He raised his head to look at her.
Ann's face was slightly red. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, her smile was brilliant as sunshine,
just the same as the smile when they met for the first time.
"Since it is your alma mater, why not show me around first?"
Phillip chuckled and tightened her hand, "My pleasure."
