Love At First Sleep

When Annie heard the chatter around her, she immediately walked over to Zeke.

Zeke reacted by pulling her into his arms and shielding her all the way to the car. All the way home, neither of them got the chance to speak because Zeke drove too fast.

Annie could tell that Zeke was upset because the last time he was like this, he made his feelings obvious to her.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Huh?" Annie replied confusedly.

"I'm referring to how the Chens pressured the hospital chief," Zeke questioned patiently, "What reason did you have to endure and not tell me this time?"

"I simply didn't want you to be stuck in a difficult position between me and the Chens!" Annie explained.
