Three days in the hospital made Anna bored. She kept grumpy because there was nothing she could do except lie down. Even though it was only her arm that was injured but she was forced to rest completely.
After surviving for three days, on the fourth day Anna forced herself to get out of the place where only the smell of drugs could be left. Anna ignored orders to rest for a week. Why did she linger in the hospital, after all, Anna was feeling better.
To be honest, accidents during battle had often happened to Axel, Anna and Edward. Getting shot in battle was common for the three of them. But unfortunately this time the bullet was poisonous. That is the serious problem.
Not only did she get out of the hospital, on that same day Anna went straight back to work. At least in the office there will be work he does, at least not too bored.
Crit…
The door to Anna's room opened, then a middle-aged woman appeared from behind the door, shouting Anna's name.
"Anna!"
Anna was surprised to hear the voice, a voice she knew very well.
"Mummy." Anna exclaimed.
"Why did you come here, Mum? You should have messaged me if you wanted to see me. I'm coming."
Caroline wore an angry expression. Anna immediately took a few steps back, she was surprised why her mother looked angry.
"You were injured and treated for a few days but no one told me, do you want to make me die of anxiety?" Caroline exclaimed in a high tone.
"I'm sorry, Mum. I didn't mean to hide it from you but it was because I didn't want to worry you that I didn't tell you. I'm fine, Mum." Obviously Anna.
Caroline breathed a sigh of relief. Her face immediately turned soft and warm.
"Thank God you're okay. My heart almost broke when I heard you were shot."
"This isn't the first time, Mum."
"Yes, but you've never had to be hospitalized. Usually only come to the hospital just to treat without having to stay overnight." Caroline said quickly.
"I know you're worried about me, Mum. But really, I'm fine now." Anna reassured her mother.
"Yeah, thankfully nothing serious happened. But next time you'd better avoid fighting in the future. You're a girl, Alice, just let Edward and Axel take care of it."
"Yes, Mum. I'll take your advice."
"Yeah, I'm going home now." Caroline said.
"So fast, don't you want to drink first?"
"No-no. I have to go home. I haven't prepared lunch for James yet."
"Oh, okay then. Take care. Say hello to Daddy. Say, don't worry about me, I'm fine."
"Yes, I'll tell you." Caroline replied as she pulled Anna into a short hug and kissed her lovingly.
"I'm going home first, bye."
"Bye, Mum. Be careful."
That's how old people are. No matter how small the wound suffered by her child, a mother will definitely feel very sad. What if the wound is serious? A mother is willing to risk her life just to take over the pain of her children. A mother is willing to endure any kind of pain to see her children laugh carefree.

"I've taken care of Harvey. Greenland is finally all ours. I'm not going to stand still after he harms Anna." Edward said with emotion. He had just arrived after clearing up the Greenland and Harvey project at the Golden company.
"Are you crazy? You're too obsessed, Ed." Reply to Anna.
"It's nothing compared to the pain he gave Anna. You saw how Anna suffered, didn't you? Anna whimpered in pain every night before the poison was completely out. Anna couldn't sleep well because she had to endure the pain in her arm. Even if Harvey goes bankrupt it's not quite worth what he did to Anna."
Axel shook his head then let out a heavy breath.
"I know you love you so much, Anna, Ed. But please think carefully before you act, don't be rash. You should be solving problems, not making matters worse. I'm afraid Harvey will get even more reckless. I'm not worried about you one bit, but I am worried about Anna's safety."
"You don't understand how I feel because you're not in love, Ax. You can't." Senta Edward.
"I can understand how you feel and right now I'm in love with someone, just like you. But I won't act rashly like you always do. That's our difference. Try to act with a cool head so you can solve problems without creating new ones. ." Axel's words were full of emphasis on a few words.
"You're in love with someone? Is that Alice?" Edward asked with a frown.
"You will know the answer." Axel replied with a crooked smile.
"If Axel loves Alice, does that mean I have a chance to get to Anna? Oh my God, I hate this thought of mine but I always thought that what Anna really liked was Axel, not me." Edward raged inside.
"Now you better reflect on what you've done. And try to think of a solution to the problem you've just created. Because I'm sure Harvey won't stay still. Go back to your room." Axel said which was an order.
"I see. I'll definitely think about it carefully."
"Yeah, good luck to you."

Edward walked unsteadily as he returned to his room. He was so unfocused that he reported someone with a stack of paper in that person's hand.
Bruck!
The papers fell apart.
"Anna, sorry, I didn't mean to." Edward quickly helped Anna tidy up the papers.
Anna shook her head, a sign that it was fine.
"You don't look good, Manager Edward. Are you daydreaming?" Anna asked.
"Yeah, I'm in trouble." Bakas Edward was listless.
The two of them stood up after finishing cleaning up the papers that had fallen scattered.
"What's the problem? Do you need help?"
Edward was silent for a moment before he sighed.
"Can we talk alone? I want to explain something to you." Edward asked.
"Yes, of course. Let me take this file to the director's office first."
"Yes, I am waiting for you in my room."
"Well."
Anna continued walking towards Axel's room while Edward himself returned to his room.
Knock knock!
"Enter!"
"Some of these files need your signature, sir. You'd better check them before signing."
"Yes." Axel replied expressionlessly.
"Do you need anything, sir?"
"No. I'll call you if I need you."
"Fine. Then I'll excuse myself." Anna bent down and turned away.
"Anna,"
Anna turned back to face her boss.
"Would you mind staying at home for a while? I'm afraid Harvey's people are still after you. Plus, Edward's acting up again."
Anna digested Axel's words carefully. Did this have something to do with Edward suddenly asking her to talk alone? What really happened?
l"I'll think about your offer carefully. I'll excuse myself."
"I hope your answer is yes."
"l"I will consider."
