"Jack, get off me! You're heavy, I can't breathe."

A few words managed to come out of Anne's lips, which Jack was pressing on. Despite the fact that Jack wasn't really on top of Anne, yet with Jack's body weight which was twice Anne's weight, it was very painful for Anne.

Jack, who couldn't bear to hurt her, immediately got off her body. Both of his hands grabbed Anne's shirt button which had been opened at the top and immediately buttoned it back while grumbling. "Don't mess around, Anne, if you want to show your body, do it later when we're at home, when we are alone. Not in a public place like this!"

"Who showed what?" asked Anne confused.

"What were you doing earlier? Unbuttoning your shirt in a public place like this! Indeed we are currently alone. However, this is a hospital, Anne, a public place. Many people are passing by, aren't you ashamed!" replied Jack curtly. .

Anne, who was previously confused, finally understood why Jack suddenly became angry. With her lips curling into a smile, Anne grabbed the necklace that was wrapped around her neck without unbuttoning her shirt again with great difficulty to pull out the ring that Jack gave her as a pendant.

"I wanted to take out the necklace to show you this ring. After all, I'm still sane Jack. There's no way I would undress here," said Anne slowly as she lifted the beautiful and luxurious diamond ring even higher.

Jack's sharp eyes were perfectly rounded looking at the diamond ring that he had specially ordered for Anne was right in front of his eyes. Instantly, the big fire that had been burning inside him was extinguished and Jack wanted to smile, but suddenly he realized it.

"Why did you make it into a pendant? Why don't you wear it on your finger? Do you want to hide it from other people, Anne? Is there a heart you want to protect?" asked Jack repeatedly.

Anne took a deep breath and lowered the diamond ring she had just shown Jack. "The main reason why I wear this ring as a pendant is that I don't want to spoil the beauty of this diamond if I wear it on my finger. After all, it's actually safer to wear it as a pendant because this ring will be closer to my heart."

"What's that got to do with being closer to the heart?" asked Jack confused.

"It means that I will remember you more often, every beat of my heart will immediately feel in this ring and it will make me realize that I already have you now," replied Anne quietly trying to find a reasonable reason so that Jack wouldn't be angry. Anne couldn't say the real reason to Jack right now.

"Really? You're not lying are you?" Jack asked again excitedly.

Anne smiled widely. "Of course not. After all, how could I lie to you? But if you don't like it then I'll just put it on my finger."

Jack immediately restrained the movement of Anne's hand, who wanted to open her necklace. "No, Anne, I trust you."

"So you're not mad at me, are you?"

"Of course not, why am I angry? It's better this way, Anne. In the future, when there is a problem, we better talk it out like this. Don't run away because it won't solve the problem," replied Jack softly.

"Geez what are you doing..."

Anne's words stopped when she saw the door to Linda and Paul's treatment room opened from the inside. She immediately stood up when she saw Doctor Pierre come out with his smart phone. Likewise with Jack, who also immediately stood beside and greeted the doctor's arrival.

"I just sent my brief interview with the two patients to your cell phone, Mr Muller," said Doctor Pierre quietly.

"Really? I'll check it out in a minute." Jack then grabbed his cell phone and smiled when he saw the message that had just been sent by Doctor Pierre. Although he had not opened the recording in full, Jack immediately sent the video message to the police who he had asked to investigate this robbery case.

Anne, who also had the chance to peek at Pierre's interview with Linda and Paul, smiled. "And about the two of them, are they all right, Doctor?"

"They are good. What they need right now is a comfortable rest, so that their physical and psychological wounds heal quickly," answered Doctor Pierre kindly.

"Very well, thanks for the information, Doc." Jack immediately extended his hand towards Doctor Pierre to thank him.

Doctor Pierre also accepted Jack's hand and he left the place to continue his work. Meanwhile, Anne immediately ran to the door of Linda and Paul's treatment room. Gazing through the glass to see the condition of the two best friends and Jack also gave time to her to do that. Linda and Paul were the only close friends of Anne, who she really trusted and Jack understood that very well. Therefore, he was not angry when Anne immediately left her job to be with Linda and Paul.

Meanwhile, in a new sports car, Daniel and Aaron were confused, because they had completely lost track of Anne. Aaron looked so desperate and sad. He had never been this fond of a woman before. Even when he was with Candice Skyriver, the model who had above average beauty, his feelings were not as deep as his feelings for Anne. Anne really made him unable to think logically.

"Should I let go of Anne and focus on my dream again, Daniel?" Aaron said quietly breaking the silence in the car.

"Are you sure, sir?" Daniel asked Aaron back.

Aaron closed his eyes. "I feel no matter how hard I try to approach Anne, nothing works, Daniel. I'm really tired."

Daniel, who really understood Aaron, seemed silent. He knew the feelings of his best friend and boss, were very deep for Anne. Hence he was speechless at this time.

"Are you ready to let her go?"

Aaron was silent. He didn't respond to Daniel's question for a long time. His mood was really very bad right now. On the other hand, he still wanted to keep fighting for Anne. But on the other hand, he was starting to feel tired because his struggles were not getting good results at all. He felt that what he had been doing all this time was sitting in place and there was no progress at all. That was why he was getting tired of trying to get Anne, even though all this time every time he liked a girl, in just one night she had managed to come to him and surrender to him. However, everything was very different with Anne. Even though he had asked Anne to marry him, Anne's attitude towards him was still cold and there was no change at all. That was why Aaron felt that his efforts that he had done were fruitless.

"Do I really have to give up on my deepest first love, Daniel?" Aaron uttered a sentence that showed his immense despair over Anne.

"If you are really sure about your decision, then I can't say anything else, because you're the one who is going through all this, boss. And to be honest, I don't like seeing you tormented like this. Loving a woman who doesn't love you back, that's very painful and I don't want to see you continue to suffer. Because believe me, you deserve happiness, perfect happiness from a woman who also loves you sincerely, no matter what has happened to you in the past. I think, true love is a love that doesn't see their partner's past or their partner's shortcomings, so I support you to let go of Miss Anne and find your new love. Believe and believe that out there, there will be a woman who is sincere and, of course, beautiful, who loves you as much as you love her, boss," Daniel replied at length, pouring out all the feelings that he had kept bottled up inside.
