Me Before You

Old chief’s condition was normal now. But he wasn’t completely out of danger. It would be a bit unreasonable for him to leave at
this time. However, Anna also had a fever, and he didn’t know exactly about her situation. He was really worried.
Daniel Taylor stood there in daze, without moving a step.
After a while, Blake’s voice reached Daniel Taylor’s ears, "Daniel, I have been looking for you for so long. Chief has woken up,
he wants to see you. Come with me."
Daniel Taylor paused, then walked with Blake and chatted with him, "Chief is recovering well. Today, he seems much better."
Blake nodded with a smile and patted him on the shoulder, "Daniel, the credit goes to you! It’s not in vain for the old chief to
value you so much!"
Daniel Taylor shook his head absently, "Blake, you flattered me."
As they entered the ward, they saw old chief struggling to get up on the bed. Blake ran over to him and helped him sit up, "chief,
if you want to get up, just tell me."
"So, I am this much old now that I really need people to serve me." Old chief laughed and shook his head. Then he turned his
head and waved to Daniel Taylor, "Daniel, why are you standing there? Come here, let’s have a good chat."
Daniel Taylor went over and sat down next to him.
Old chief looked at him with a smile and his eyes unconsciously reflected a satisfied look, "Daniel, why didn’t you bring your
wife? I remember meeting her at the last birthday party. She is really nice."
Daniel Taylor thought of Anna, who was far away in Jingzhou. He sighed and when he just wanted to open his mouth, he heard
the door being pushed open by someone.
Robin Johnson appeared in the ward, Daniel Taylor looked back at old chief, saw a trace of haze on his face, and then saw him
turning his head to one side.
He looked at old chief’s appearance with a bitter smile, thought for a while and said, "Robbie, come on, sit here."
Robin Johnson didn’t move.
Old chief also didn’t speak.

Daniel Taylor got up helplessly and walked towards Robin Johnson. Then he sat down on the sofa, quietly, looked at this father
and son, and said with a smile, "well, chief, I’m here to tell you that I’m going back to Jingzhou..."
As soon as he said this, the old chief, who was still glaring at his son, immediately turned around and looked at Daniel Taylor,
"Daniel, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry to go back? I want to have a good chat with you."
Daniel Taylor smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I still has some important work to do. Besides, Anna is ill. I want to go back and
have a look..."
Old chief frowned, but before he could open his mouth to speak, Robin Johnson asked, "what’s wrong with that ugly girl? She is
ill? Is it serious?"
The old chief looked at his son with displeasure, and then said in a serious voice, "Why do you butt in? What’s more, why do you
call her ugly? She has a name, and I don’t know how good-looking you are?"
Robin Johnson was taught a lesson by his father. He stopped talking, but he was still looking forward to Daniel Taylor’s reply.
Daniel Taylor unconsciously pursed his lips when he saw Robin Johnson so concerned about his little wife, but said in a deep
voice, "it’s not a serious illness, it’s just a fever. I’m a little worried about her, so I want to go back. Chief, I’ll come to see you
again in some days."
After listening to Daniel Taylor’s explanation, old chief felt very proud in his heart, but he still shook his head, "you are managing
a big business now, you don’t have to run back and forth. I’m very grateful that you can come to see me this time. It’s because of
this unfilial son, otherwise..."
Daniel Taylor interrupted old chief’s unfinished words and said, "I think Robbie is very good! Chief, don’t be too fastidious!
Otherwise, Robbie will be angry with me."
After that, Daniel Taylor said to Blake, "Blake, will you please book a ticket for me to go back tonight?"
Blake looked at the old chief and after seeing the old chief nodding, he said in a loud voice, "I’ll book it now!"
Daniel Taylor chatted with the old chief for a while. He looked at the brave old chief who was still tired and said in a soft voice,
"chief, have a rest, we are outside the door."
The old chief lay down.

Daniel Taylor went out. Robin Johnson also quickly got up and followed Daniel Taylor out of the ward.
Daniel Taylor raised his eyebrows in surprise. Robin Johnson was silent for a while. Then he leaned on the wall and said in a
deep voice, "are you going back today?"
Daniel Taylor nodded, "Yeah. By the way, for chief, you have to work harder."
Robin Johnson nodded and then asked, "that ugly... I mean Anna, is she ok?"
Daniel Taylor raised his head and gave him a deep look, which made Robin Johnson want to explain in a hurry, "I’m just
concerned. If you don’t want to say anything, forget it, I’ll..."
Daniel Taylor interrupted him in a deep voice, "I don’t know the specific situation. I just heard sister saying that she has a fever. In
addition to it, there was a thunderstorm last night. She is afraid of thunder and she also caught a cold."
In a surprise, Robin Johnson looked at Daniel Taylor, "is she afraid of thunder? I thought that she was not afraid of anything."
Daniel Taylor thought of Anna, and his eyes were filled with tenderness, "Hmm... the first time I saw her face pale was because
of thunder."
Robin Johnson listened carefully, and then looked enviously at Daniel Taylor, "Daniel, you are really blessed!"
Daniel Taylor didn’t hide anything and nodded, "indeed, my life has changed because of Anna. Now I feel happy every day."
When they were talking, Daniel Taylor heard a cough coming from the ward, and he said softly, "Robbie, go in! And please take
care of the chief."
Robin Johnson awkwardly scratched his head, "don’t say that, he is my father, I will take care of him."
Daniel Taylor smiled and walked outside. He just took two steps and heard Robin Johnson calling him, "Daniel, I am sorry, I can’t
send you off!"
Daniel Taylor didn’t look back and waved.
Robin Johnson saw Daniel Taylor going away, took a deep breath and entered the ward.

As soon as Daniel Taylor got on the plane, he took out his mobile phone and called Anna. The phone was answered quickly. He
said in a hurry, "Anna, are you ok?"
Anna said in a hoarse voice, "Sir..."
Her weak voice made Daniel Taylor want to run to her immediately. But he was still tens of thousands of meters away. He
whispered, "Anna, I’m sorry, because of chief’s critical condition, I had to come to B City all of a sudden. I’m sorry... I didn’t let
you know in the first place."
Anna shook her head and whispered, "Sir, I don’t blame you."
Two people talked for a while, Daniel Taylor told her to have more rest, and then hung up the phone.
Anna put her mobile phone away and saw Olivia Taylor furtively staring at herself. Her face turned red and said in a low voice,
"sister, why do you look at me like this?"
Olivia Taylor laughed and helped her tuck in the corner, "nothing, just envy your relationship with Daniel."
Anna asked in a puzzled way, "sister, you and brother-in-law aren’t also very loving?"
Olivia Taylor thought about Charles Peter and couldn’t help but shake her head, "your brother-in-law, he’s always been on
business trips. I’ve been used to stay alone."
Listening to Olivia Taylor who was slightly complaining, Anna happily thought, "Sir is very good, in this case, he isn’t like brother-
in-law. When it thunders like this, he always gives me a sense of security!"
With the thoughts of the man, who will come back soon, Anna’s face was full of brilliant smiles.
