I'll Teach You, Marianne.

When Anne was about to open her mouth to answer Edward's question, suddenly the door to her treatment room opened from the outside and Aaron entered with Doctor Robin. Not wanting to cause trouble, Anne chose to immediately turn off the video call and put her cell phone back on the table. .

"Why was it turned off? Who had contacted you?" Asked Aaron quietly.

"College friends, our conversation was over, so I turned it off," said Anne, lying a little.

"I see, what are you talking about?" asked Aaron curiously.

"At the campus there is an end-of-semester event and there will be a performance where many companies will attend as a form of their cooperations with the campus, and we were asked to make a performance," said Anne honestly.

Aaron's smile appeared on his handsome face. He actually already knew that at Anne's campus there would be an event like that without asking her. But earlier he kept asking questions like that because he wanted to just test whether Anne would be honest or not, and in fact Anne was telling him the truth. And this made him happy, because it turned out that Anne was an honest girl.

Drrttt

Drrttt

Anne's cell phone vibrated again, Linda had video called her again, but Anne ignored the call after turning off the voice button.

"Why didn't you pick it up?" Asked Aaron, confused.

"It's okay, Linda is like that. She must be very curious and want to know where I am right now, because she saw this IV pole when she made the first call. She knew I was sick and wanted to come here, but I didn't want her to. That will be troublesome. Besides, I'm already healed so I don't need to be visited, "said Anne honestly, showing Aaron her cell phone screen showing Linda's name on it.

"Well, if that's what you want to do, the important thing is that now your condition is much better and you can go home. What you need right now is enough rest, Isn't that right, Doctor Robin?" Aaron said quietly while smiling at Doctor Robin, who was standing on the side examining Anne's medicines on the table.

"That's right, Miss, right now you just need to rest so that you'll get better sooner. So tomorrow you can be active again. It would be better that when you arrived home from the hospital, get rest immediately," said Doctor Robin kindly.

Anne nodded her head slowly in response to Doctor Robin's words. Soon Doctor Robin released the IV needle that was still embedded in Anne's left hand. Afterwards, Doctor Robin put a special plaster on the wound on her arm to avoid bacterial infection, the same thing was on Aaron's right hand. However, the special plaster that was on Aaron's hand was smaller than the plaster that was now attached to Anne's left hand.

After Doctor Robin recommended Anne to take her medication, she was soon allowed to go home. Anne was very excited to go home. She greeted the nurses who took care of her last night, one by one. Seeing that, Aaron just smiled silently.

"She really is a sweet girl, young master," whispered Doctor Robin softly, teasing Aaron.

"I know, Doc, you don't have to repeat it over and over again," Aaron replied curtly, without turning his gaze from Anne, who was still talking to the nurses.

Doctor Robin chuckled at Aaron's words. He was very happy to tease Aaron like that. The reason was that it had been a long time since he saw Aaron had a woman or been close to a woman like this and it made him happy. It meant that Aaron was able to move on from his former girlfriend who had betrayed him. As Aaron's personal doctor, Doctor Robin knew him quite well, as his patient for the past years. So it was no wonder that he also knew about Aaron's love story that was not as beautiful as people would imagine. People thought that he could easily get the woman he wanted because of his good looks and wealth. But in fact, the woman Aaron wanted had betrayed him and left with her other boyfriend when she was engaged with Aaron.

"Are you ready?" Aaron asked Anne quietly, as she arrived in front of him.

"Huum, but wait a minute. I also have to thank Doctor Robin for taking care of me," said Anne quickly as she stretched out her hand towards Doctor Robin.

"You don't need to thank me like that. This is my main duty as a doctor. So you don't have to be like that," said Doctor Robin kindly, as he grabbed Anne's hand and held her tightly.

"Yes, Doctor, I know. It's just that I want to thank you directly. Even though you are a person who is credited for taking good care of me last night, I don't know what will happen to me. If you didn't take care of me, I would still be sick," said Anne, smiling.

Doctor Robin just smiled at Anne's words, and soon they parted ways because Aaron had kept asking her to come home. Aaron finally left the Capitol Hospital, headed for Anne's apartment with his car. Meanwhile, Anne, who was sitting next to Aaron, looked very happy to be home from the hospital. She repeatedly thanked God and Aaron.

"If you say thank you again, it will be your fiftieth times, Anne," Aaron said quietly, cutting off Anne's words that would say thank you again to Aaron.

"Did I say thank you to you more than fifty times?" Asked Anne innocently.

"You didn't count them?" Aaron asked quickly.

"Of course not," answered Anne shortly.

"Well then don't bother to remember it, Anne," Aaron said with a big laugh.

Anne hit Aaron's arm suddenly when she realized that she was being teased by Aaron, even though she wasn't really angry. Soon they both laughed as they discussed some funny things along the way to Anne's apartment. Even though Aaron still felt a little pain in his stomach, but, somehow, when he was with Anne, he felt like he instantly had energy and could endure his relapsing stomach ache. After driving for nearly forty-five minutes, they finally arrived at Anne's apartment. It took a while from the hospital to Anne's apartment because the road was a little congested as it was lunch time, where people were busy passing through the streets looking for food.

Initially, Aaron wanted to return to his house immediately, but Anne forbade him. She said that Aaron should not go home before drinking the tea she made. Not wanting to make Anne feel sad and disappointed, Aaron finally complied with Anne's request. Without Aaron's knowledge, Anne actually realized that Aaron wasn't in a good condition. When Aaron was driving his car, she saw the bandage on Aaron's right hand which could be seen because Aaron's shirt's sleeve was lifted.

Arriving in her apartment, Anne immediately forced Aaron to sit on the sofa. She went straight to the pantry to make warm drinks for Aaron. Soon Anne returned with a glass of warm tea.

"Thank you," Aaron said quietly as he accepted the glass from Anne.

"You're welcome," answered Anne, smiling.

Aaron drank Anne's tea slowly then put the glass back on the table. He felt a little uncomfortable being watched by Anne without blinking.

"What do you want to say, Anne? Don't look at me like that," Aaron asked softly.

"I don't want to be friends with you anymore, Aaron, you've broken your promise" answered Anne quickly.

"Break the promise what?" asked Aaron in shock.

"What it means is that you're hiding something this big from me. And I don't like it," said Anne quickly as she took Aaron's hand so that the plaster covering the injection needle was clearly visible.

"Wasn't it you who said that you won't hide anything, that as a friend you will be open. Then what is this, Aaron? Don't lie to me. This is an intravenous needle injection, just like the one on my left hand," said Anne again as she aligned his needle mark with hers.

Aaron was silent upon hearing Anne's words, he couldn't lie this time. This was because the wound plaster that covered the marks of the IV needle had the same pattern as the one on Anne's hand, plus the IV needle mark was slightly swollen and blue like Anne's.

Impatient, Anne finally pulled her hand back and let go of Aaron's hand. She then got up from the sofa and stood in front of Aaron.

"Go home, I don't want to talk to you anymore," said Anne quietly, pointing towards the door, asking Aaron to leave.

"Anne ..."

"I don't like to be lied to, Aaron, especially when you made the pact yourself that you won't keep any secrets and have to be honest with each other. But you've lied. I won't force you. Well you better go, I want to rest, Aaron I don't want to fight with ..."

"Agghhh!"

Anne fell on the sofa when Aaron pulled her suddenly. Now she fell on top of Aaron. The two sharp noses touched each other as they were so close to each other.

"Don't ... don't ask me to get away from you, I won't be able to do it, Anne," Aaron said softly in a hoarse voice right in Anne's right ear. His hot breath hit Anne's long neck which made all the fine hairs on Anne's body stood up.

"Aaron ..."

Smack!
