Chapter 67 Teddy Bear
Although Adams entitled Frank to take care of his birthday. Anaya still made some time to monitor
it to prevent Frank from playing tricks.
However, during the entire process, Anaya did not discover any problems.
From the selection of the ingredients and the arrangement of the banquet, Frank did it himself,
looking like he sincerely wanted to hold the birthday party well.
On the day of the birthday party, Anaya took a leave and went to the hospital to fetch Adams back to the Dutt’s house.
When Anaya entered the ward, Adams had already changed. He was packing up.
A few days ago, the doctor said that Adams could be discharged. However, Anaya was still worried, so she asked Adams to stay in the hospital until today.
Anaya walked over and put down the fruit basket in her hand. “Grandpa, you just recovered. Leave these things to others to do.”
“It‘s fine. The doctor told me to exercise more when I have time. Packing up my stuff can be taken
as today’s exercise.”
Adams was stubborn, so Anaya had no choice but to help him pack up.
There weren’t many things that needed to be packed up. Soon, it was done. Then Adams and Anaya got into the car together.
Adams had stayed in the hospital for more than half a year, and he finally left today. He was in a good mood, talking and laughing with Anaya along the way.
When they arrived at the Dutt‘s house, it was just noon. Frank‘s family had already made lunch ready and waited for them.
During the meal, Frank asked about Adams’s plan next. “Mr. Dutt, since you have recovered, are
you going to go back to work?
Adams nodded, “Yes, I haven’t worked for more than half a year. It’s time to resume work. Many
thanks to you and Mark for everything you have done these days.”
An imperceptible ruthlessness flashed through Frank’s eyes, but he smiled warmly, “Don‘t mention
1. it. We are a family. I‘ve just done what I should.”
Vivianna, who was at the side, suddenly said. “So. Mr. Dutt. Anaya, will you move back here?
Adams did not notice the slight dissatisfaction in Vivianna‘s tone. He smiled, “Yes, we will. Vivianna, did you miss me when I was hospitalized?”
Vivianna did not answer. After a moment of silence, she murmured, “Why will you move in here?
This is my home...”
There was only the clatter of cutlery at the dining table. Her voice was very low, but everyone
present heard it.
The smiles on Adams’ face faded. Anaya looked up at Vivianna. “Your home? As recalled, this house already belonged to my parents 20 years ago. Vivianna, are you saying that you are trying to take it?”
“Your parents have been dead for so many years, and you are going to get married again. This house will belong to my brother sooner or later. So this is my home.” Vivianna realized that her thought was discovered, so she did not bother to hide it anymore.
When her parents were mentioned, Anaya’s eyes were suddenly sharp. “Vivianna, didn‘t your father teach you about courtesy? Believe it or not, I will kick you out.”
*This is my home. What makes you think you can kick me out?”
Anaya put down her cutlery and did not talk to Vivianna anymore. She called out, “Albert, please get Vivianna out of here.”
The servants in the Dutt‘s house had worked for Adams for more than a dozen years. Everyone knew whose order to follow.
The butler, Albert Warner, responded and then came over, trying to pull Vivianna.
Vivianna shouted in a sharp voice, “Bastard, you‘d better know who is the owner here! If you dare to touch me, I will ask my dad to get you fired!”
Albert turned a deaf ear and lifted Vivianna‘s hand. “My lady, excuse me.”
Seeing that Anaya was serious, Frank quickly stopped Albert. Then he said to Anaya, “Vivianna is still a child it‘s fine for her to say a few wrong words. You are her elder sister, so don‘t take it personally
“If I remember right, Vivianna is turning 22, isn‘t she? This is the first time I‘ve seen a 22-year-old ‘child’Anaya revealed somewhat mockery in her beautiful eyes
Frank was lost for words. He looked at Adams for help NôvelDrama.Org content.
“Forget it. Adams waved his hand.
Hearing this, Albert let go of Vivianna and stepped back to the side.
Vivianna twisted her arm that was lifted by Albert and complained, “He, a butler, dared to treat me
like this. What a bastard he is...”
Anaya cast a glance at Vivianna. Vivianna shivered and shut her mouth.
After lunch, the make-up artist, whom Frank had invited in advance, came to the Dutt’s house.
Anaya brought the make-up artist upstairs to her room.
The furnishings in the room remained the same as when she left.
When Vivianna moved into the Dutt’s house, she wanted to occupy Anaya’s room, but she was
stopped by Albert.
The Dutt’s house was vacant before. Although Frank’s family was allowed to move in, they were
not allowed to enter Adams’ and Anaya’s rooms.
After Anaya put on her makeup and changed into an evening dress, the make-up artist went to serve Vivianna.
Anaya was alone in the room. She walked around the room and took out a small dusty box from
under the bed.
Anaya found the key and opened it. It was a small hand-made teddy bear.
The teddy bear was only the size of a palm, but the workmanship was very fine.
This was what she received from Joshua ten years ago.
That year, Anaya’s brother was missing, and her parents went to Canada to look for him. But her
parents were involved in a terrorist attack.
Adams brought people over to look for Anaya’s parents but only brought back their ashes.
Her parents passed away and her brother went missing. Anaya, who was at a young age, found it too hard to accept. So she ran away from home and tried to find her brother.
Anaya thought that at least she had one family with her.
Back then, she did not know how big the world was. She stubbornly believed that as long as she kept walking, she would find her brother.
Unknowing how long she had walked, Anaya was chased by a dog. injured her leg, and fled into a manor in a panic, where Anaya met a sickly boy wearing a half–golden feather mask.
The boy treated Anaya’s injured leg, cook food for her, taught her to make flower baskets, and
finally, went with her to the funeral of her parents.
. When her parents were buried, Anaya rushed out of the cemetery in the rain, walking while crvina.
Blood oozed from the wound on her leg that had not yet healed and soaked the hemlines of her
Princess dress with the rain.
The boy followed behind her and silently accompanied her for miles and miles.
When Anaya couldn‘t stand steadily because of the pain, the boy rushed over to hug her and patted her little head tirelessly, comforting her and telling her not to be afraid, that he would protect her in her parents‘ place.
And he gave Anaya this teddy bear at that time.
However, he did not keep his promise to protect Anaya in the end.
Anaya was greedy for the warmth given by the boy in the rain, so she asked someone to inquire who the owner of the manor was.
She was told that it was the Maltz’s manor.
Back then, the son of the Maltz family, Joshua, happened to be in the same class as her.
Afterward, the eldest daughter of the Dutt family in Boston became a follower of the son of the
Maltz family
Anaya missed the boy of that year and stubbornly followed Joshua for a full decade.
In the end, nothing remained.
That lie “I will protect you in your parents‘ place” caused Anaya to suffer in her previous life.
‘Anaya, are you ready?”
When Adams knocked at the door, Anaya’s thoughts were pulled back.
Yes, I’m ready
Anaya put the teddy bear back into the small box and hid it under the bed. Then she put on a smile,
opened the door, and walked out of her room.
