Chapter 163 Anna found out!
When Anna knew Mrs. Stone was in hospital, she came at once. Zach was sitting beside the bed with his head down silently, like a child who had done something wrong. The atmosphere around them was a little weird.
Anna knocked on the door and walked in, “Zach, what happened?”
As she saw Mrs. Stone lying on the bed, she put on a smile at once, “Mrs. Stone, I’m Anna, Zach’s girlfriend. He must have mentioned me to you, right?”
“Huh...” Mrs. Stone turned to Zach with a fake smile.
Zach didn’t want to raise his head to avoid eye contact. Anna felt little strange. And she was unhappy that she was ignored by them.
“Zach. What happened? Why is aunt in hospital now?” She held his hand and asked.
“Don’t worry.” Zach said embarrassedly. He turned to Mrs. Stone and introduced Anna to her, “Mom, this is my girlfriend, Anna.”
Mrs. Stone pulled a long face, “Humph! Why don’t you just tell me the truth? Is it so funny to piss me off?”
“No, mother. I don’t mean it.”
“I don’t believe you!”
Zach sighed deeply and deiced to keep quiet now. While Anna smiled, trying to ease the situation, “Mrs. Stone, did Zach make a mistake? Don’t blame him. He didn’t mean it. He is just too careless sometimes.”
“Huh! He’s really careless!”
Now Anna was embarrassed. Mrs. Stone was lukewarm towards her as if she was taking out on her.
Zach thought Mrs. Stone might be happy to see Anna. He never expected that she was angrier when Anna came here. Now he didn’t know what to do, so he pulled Anna up and said, “Mom, you should take a good rest now. I will send Anna home and then come back to give you a proper explanation.”
Mrs. Stone just looked away, so he left the ward with Anna.
Anna didn’t know what was going on and was a bit annoyed, “Zach, what are you doing? I barely talked to your mother.”
“That can wait. Let’s leave now. My mother should have a rest.”
Zach knew his mother’s personality. If Anna didn’t leave now, his mother would just give her nothing but a really hard time. So it would be better to leave right now.
Anna was sullen, “What’s up? Your mother doesn’t like me, does she?”
“No. Don’t overthink. She is just in a bad mood and nothing can cheer her up. I will take you to visit her officially one day once she gets better.”
Anna glanced at him in disbelief, “Zach, are you hiding something from me?”
Zach denied, “No.”
“Then why was your mother so weird?” Anna wasn’t stupid. Mrs. Stone’s attitude was really weird. But she knew herself didn’t do anything wrong.
It was their first meeting today, but Mrs. Stone showed dislike so obviously.
“She is unhappy because she isn’t in good health.” Zach soothed her, “Listen. I will arrange you to meet her again as soon as she is in a good mood. It’s all my fault today.”
Though Anna was so unsatisfied, she had to control her anger, “Alright. Of course I trust you.”
Zach breathed a sigh of relief, and hailed a taxi for her, “Then you should go home now. I will call you later.”
She nodded. But as Zach left, she suddenly said to the driver, “Sir, I am sorry. Please stop here! I need to go back now.”

In the ward, Mrs. Stone was still sullen. She looked at Zach who just came back, “Now, tell me everything. What’s going on with Sophia? And why are you with Anna!”
Zach stood beside her obediently, taking a deep breath. Then he told everything honestly in detail.
“Mom, I didn’t want to lie to you. But things are complicated between Anna and me, and I also know that she doesn’t like me. That’s how...it happened.”
“What an awful idea! As you know Anna doesn’t like you, you still want to be her boyfriend? Oh my lord! Are you stupid? You are just wasting your time! I don’t want to talk about it anymore! I am telling you, break up with Anna! As soon as possible!”
“Mom...”
Zach tried to beg her, but Mrs. Stone gave him a sharp stare, “What? You disagree?”
“I have loved Anna for so many years. And she didn’t make a mistake. It’s all my fault. So please be nice to her?” He whispered.
Mrs. Stone almost jumped out of the bed in anger, “All your fault? How? Zach, wake up and face the reality! She doesn’t love you!”
“I know. But I made my decision.”
“What about Sophia? You don’t like her?”
Zach hesitated for a moment, and told a lie again, “I just hired her to be my girlfriend. And we are even now. You don’t have to worry.”
“You!”
Mrs. Stone hit him with a pillow, “Are you blind or deaf! Though Sophia was hired to be your fake girlfriend, she treated me so sincerely. But look at Anna. She didn’t care about me at all. Can’t you see this!?”
“That’s nonsense. Anna may be too worried and nervous.”
“Fine!” Mrs. Stone covered herself with the quilt, speaking under it, “You never listen to me. You just do what you want to do. You want to be with Anna, right? Then I will go to Sophia myself. I don’t want to care about you anymore. I will stay with Sophia!”
“...” Zach was helpless after hearing this.
“Well, have a good rest. I will be here for you.” He sat there in silence, while Mrs. Stone sulked under the quilt. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
Anna was standing outside the ward and heard everything in their conversation. She wore a treacherous and evil expression on her pretty face.
She hated herself for she lost Logan several years ago. And now, she was losing Zach was was loyal to her for so many years! And Sophia, that bitch, had gained Mrs. Stone’s attention and affection in secret. No wonder Mrs. Stone was indifferent towards her!
Anna gritted her teeth, showing great hatred.
“Ms, are you coming in?” A nurse passed by and saw her standing there for a long time. So she patted her on the shoulder.
Anna turned around at once. She looked so jealous now, and she growled, “Mind your own business!”
After finishing the sentence, she strode away in high heels. She stepped on the ground so hard, as if the heels would be broken at any time.
While the nurse looked depressed, “I just ask out of kindness. Why is she so angry?”
