My Annabel

CHAPTER THREE

The next day, after they had been discharged, Mr Brown Charlie went home with his family.

Annabel is feeling much better now and at least can communicate even though she still needs some aids while doing some things.

Having discerned that the person who got her into that condition was related to her guardian made her feel at ease.

First, he took responsibility and took her to the hospital and did not elope like so many others.

She is not aware of who settled up with the hospital charges between the two brothers, but she can apprise from the on set that Brown Anderson is a good man.

It was a bright Monday morning when Anderson languidly scanned through his phone only to find out that it was a few minutes past 10 already.

He furrowed his brows to an arc in surprise “ooh is it 10 am already?” but nobody answered. He obviously didn't wake up early.

He got up from his bed, heavy-eyed and pendiculating. He went into the bathroom and took a cold bath, relieving the stiffness of the body after sleep and enhancing adequate blood flow to the extremities and body tissue.

Although Anderson didn't have a tight schedule for the day, he would have loved to be up early so he could assist Annabel with her chores as usual.

The duo seemed to be getting along very well lately and they are both enjoying the companionship.

Annabel couldn't get to wake him up since she realized he was still asleep. Knowing fully well that they had both been to sleep very late the previous night.

Charlie and Claire have gone out to their respective places of work as it is a new week with lots of positive affirmations.

“Good morning Annie” greeted Anderson. On hearing that voice, the tone that was used and the name being called in shorts, she felt this joy deep to her marrows as there was a sudden rush of adrenaline. She plainly cannot hide her excitement.

No one else calls her name in such a candied and lovely way other than Anderson, and she is becoming fond of it.

“Fine morning dear” she answered," how was your night? Asked Anderson, “it was good except that I didn't get enough sleep”, Annabel answered, wavering the smile on her face.

It's alright, I am sorry for keeping you late last night, and I am also sorry for not waking up earlier to assist with your chores today. Anderson apologized in a frisky way and the two burst into laughter.

I'm almost done with my chores, you don't need to bother yourself. Besides, I'm way stronger now. I don't really need your help anymore, Annabel argued.

“Annie, what are we having for breakfast?” He asked and Annabel responded almost immediately. “ We have had breakfast already, you will have to eat alone.”

Annabel served Anderson his breakfast and went to her room to rest.

As quickly as Anderson was done with his meal, he went up to inform Annabel about their unplanned date tonight.
