Me Before You

Anna quietly listened to Shawn Hamilton.
"In fact, I was very shocked when I came to know that Daniel got married to you because I didn’t believe that Daniel that cold-
blooded man, can fall in love with a woman. But when I met you for the first time, I understood that you’re the woman that Daniel
had been waiting for a long time." Shawn Hamilton said in a deep voice.
Anna looked at him directly and said with a bitter smile, "Doctor Shawn, you’ve misunderstood our marriage. We got married
because of an agreement. At that time, I didn’t have the money to go to college, and he also needed a bride to get married. We
got together due to an unexpected turn of events. From the beginning until now, everything has proved that we are not suitable
for each other. We are totally different, as people from two different worlds."
While saying this, she bowed her head sorrowfully.
After a while, a tissue paper appeared in front of her. She looked up blankly and looked at Shawn Hamilton’s sincere eyes. Then
took the tissue and whispered, "thank you."
Shawn Hamilton shook his head, "In fact, I should thank you. If you weren’t with Daniel, I don’t think that he can recover in such
a short time. What’s more, you didn’t know how much Daniel has changed since he has been by your side. In the past, I felt
terrible with him. However, now he didn’t scare me. The changes in his behavior made me understand everything. In the past, he
was just pretending. Since he married you, he seemed to have become a different person. He is not that reserved angry man. In
fact, he is very friendly now."
Anna listened to Shawn Hamilton saying this, and she was startled, "How can I not feel it at all? Isn’t he always a man with a cold
face and a warm heart?"
Shawn Hamilton shook his head and said definitely, "the present Daniel Taylor is certainly not the one I used to know. You don’t
know how hard it was for me to face his cold face before."
Both of them chatted freely, and Shawn Hamilton didn’t hesitate to talk about Daniel Taylor’s old habits. Anna listened to him
attentively. It was the first time that she came to know this much stuff about Daniel Taylor from a third person.
And Anna, who always felt herself unworthy of him because of her family background heard someone saying that they are a
match made in heaven.
Even though she heard it from Shawn Hamilton, and it was estimated that it had some kind of exaggeration and favoritism, but
Anna felt inexplicably happy. Because finally someone, recognized her existence and their legitimate marriage.

Shawn Hamilton noticed the obvious calmness on Anna’s face, and said, "Moreover, Anna, didn’t you find that Daniel has started
smiling more often since he married you? To be honest, you have already observed all these things, but you just intuitively
ignored them. Because you only focus on the status gap between you and Daniel. Anna, don’t you think this is too unfair to
Daniel? You only care about your difficulties and hardships, and you don’t even see the efforts Daniel has made for you."
Anna was stunned for a moment. However, she knew that Shawn Hamilton didn't say anything wrong. In this marriage, she
always regarded herself as a weak party and always gave herself reasons to explain her inappropriate actions.
For example, on the day when she was almost attacked by Eiza Preston, she chose to not answer his phone call. Even though
at that time, she was hurt but he knew nothing about it. Then, just because she was feeling frustrated, she went to dinner with
Henry Michael and didn’t even call to inform him.
Not to forget that, when he once had a meal with Hazel Mark, she was too angry with him that she didn’t even talk to him. But he
tolerated her possessive behavior generously and took her to Hazel Mark’s house, just to prove his innocence
Things like this have happened so many times in their marriage.
She took many things for granted. She thought that she has always been criticized by people, so she deserved Daniel Taylor’s
understanding and consideration.
But she has forgotten that marriage is a matter of two people. One side can never compromise endlessly, and the other side
can’t ask endlessly. After all, both are human beings and both have needs. She can’t unwaveringly shackle him in the name of
love.
He never cared for himself and always tried to give her the best kind of love. How can she not love such a man?
Shawn Hamilton looked at the relief on Anna’s face and then saw glistening teardrops of remorse. He felt that he had done his
job well, so he walked out of the room and while going out he gently closed the door.
As soon as he went out, he was stopped by two men.
"Shawn, how is Anna? Is there anything wrong with her?" Daniel Taylor grabbed Shawn Hamilton’s arm and asked impatiently.
Henry Michael was standing beside him, he also came forward asked anxiously, "Tell me, how is she? You two have been talking
for so long, is there anything wrong with Anna? Is it serious?"
The strange thing was that at this moment, Daniel Taylor didn’t open his mouth to retort.

Shawn Hamilton gave a mysterious smile and said, "why don’t you ask her by yourself?" After saying this, he walked away.
Henry Michael looked at Shawn Hamilton’s back and said bitterly, "if beating someone isn’t against law, I would definitely give
him few punches."
Daniel Taylor glanced at Henry Michael, didn’t say anything, and walked to the office. But before he could open it, he saw that
the door was opened from inside. Henry Michael and Daniel Taylor saw Anna at the door and at the same time they called her
name, "Anna..."
Anna walked out of the door, saw two men looking at her and calling her name at the same time. She was stunned, because she
didn’t expect such a scene at all, she paused for a while and then took the lead to talk to Henry Michael, "Henry, I’m very good.
Don’t worry about me."
As soon as Anna replied to Henry Michael, Daniel Taylor received a triumphant smile from Henry Michael, but he turned a blind
eye to it and stared at Anna.
Anna tried hard to ignore his gaze, smiled at Henry Michael, and then whispered, "Henry, can I talk to you for a while?"
Henry Michael immediately agreed.
Daniel Taylor looked at them going away in a trance. He stood there upright, but the atmosphere around him was full of grief, he
just looked like a lone wolf abandoned by his spouse.
Anna took Henry Michael and came to a corner. She bowed her head and said to Henry Michael, "Henry, I want to thank you.
Thank you very much for everything. Without you, I guess... I am really grateful to you."
Henry Michael was completely stunned to hear her saying this. He looked at her in amazement and with eyes full of disbelief, he
asked, "Anna, what do you really want to say? You don’t mean to say something like that, do you?"
Anna nodded and said with a smile, "Yes. It’s exactly what you think. However, I want to thank you again. Especially for taking
care of me and my baby. My baby would certainly like to thank you for everything you did for us."
Henry Michael shook his head and said seriously, "Anna. You know, what I want from you isn’t a 'thanks'. You know everything.
Why do you still say this?"

Anna took a deep breath and then said in a low voice, "I don’t know. The only thing I know is that I’m pregnant now, and with this
baby in my belly, I can’t like any other man. There is only one person I have ever loved, and that person is the father of my child."
Henry Michael didn’t expect that at this time, he would hear such a cruel refusal...
