Chapter 3
After leaving Claire's house Anna took a bus to the suburb of Haicheng. The bus stopped in front of a
villa. Anna got off and walked towards the entrance of a villa. During her summer vacation, she worked
at this villa. The owner of the villa was a crippled man. Anna was a servant here for nearly two months
and only met him two or three times.
She entered the villa and was about to sweep the floor and clean the table, but she heard a loud noise
from the corner of the stairs.
Anna was scared. She looked up and saw a man lying on the ground and behind him was an
overturned wheelchair.
Anna hurriedly went up to help him. Although she just met him a few times, but when she saw the
wheelchair, she thought that this man must be the owner of the villa.
But as Anna came closer to the man, he said coldly, "Don't come here." He didn't like being touched.
Anna was stunned, and her hand stopped in the air. "Sir, are you ok?"
The man carefully propped his hand on the floor and tried to get back into the wheelchair. However, a
pair of weak legs made him fall back to the floor. He hammered his leg hard; his eyes were filled with Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
disgust.
Anna can't just stand and watch, regardless of the man's order she reached out to help him get back to
the wheelchair.
Daniel Taylor only felt a faint fragrance running into the tip of his nose. The girl's soft hand touched his
shoulders and helped him to sit back at the wheelchair. He wanted to get angry, but after seeing the
innocent smile on the girl's face, his anger suddenly disappeared.
"Sir, how did you fall?"
Daniel Taylor heard the question, shook his head and said nothing.
Anna felt that he was very lonely, and her heart fell inexplicably sour to see that. She kept talking with
him and told him several jokes to make him happy. Daniel Taylor didn't laugh, but his eyes were full of
tenderness.
When Jack Smith came, he saw such an amazing scene. He was stunned. After Mr. Daniel Taylor's
accident, he never saw him like this.
"Mr. Jack Smith." Anna saw Jack Smith. She knew Jack Smith. He used to her wages. Anna was afraid
that Jack Smith would think that she is lazy, so she immediately continued her work.
Jack Smith went to Daniel Taylor and whispered, "Mr. Taylor, Miss Brown, has already gone abroad..."
Miss Brown, Isabella Brown was Daniel Taylor's fiancé. After Daniel's accident, she never came to
meet him again. They were going to get married, but the news came that Isabella Brown has gone
abroad to study. Jack Smith didn't expect Isabella Brown to be this much mean. Jack Smith feared that
Daniel Taylor would become very sad after hearing this new. He was quietly noticing Daniel's
expressions.
Daniel Taylor smiled and asked, "Jack Smith, am I terrible now?"
Daniel Taylor has lost a pair of legs and can only move by wheelchair. The Head of Taylor's Enterprise,
who used to dominate Haicheng, was now disabled. He has to live on the care and mercy of others for
the rest of his life. Jack Smith's heart has never been so heavy.
"Mr. Daniel Taylor, your legs will be better," he said with a heavy heart.
...
After Jack Smith left, only Anna and Daniel Taylor were left in the villa. While cleaning the villa, Anna
thought of the idea that she can borrow some money from Mr. Taylor. After thinking about it, she looked
at the man who was still in the wheelchair. It has been a long time. The man was still sitting near the
window and was quietly looking at the scenery outside. His face looked expressionless and silent.
Anna could not help but walk forward. She wanted to ask for the money from Mr. Daniel Taylor, but she
didn't know how to say it.
After a moment, the man seems to feel Anna's approach. He softly asked her, "Is there any problem?"
Anna was nervous but she has to ask, she has no other choice. She tightly grabbed her dress. Her
voice trembled, "Sir... Can I borrow some money from you?"
