If it had been before, Anna would have thought that she could be 100% calm when she heard such news, but in reality, for a moment, she really didn't think of anything.

After a few seconds, Anna calmed down and asked, "How's it going?" She didn't notice that her fingers were shaking unnaturally as she said this, but she instinctively held her hand tightly so that the fear would not leak out.

Because she wants to stabilize her emotions and restrain herself, her expression is actually a little scary.

"No, not well, ma'am, there was a lot of blood...... "The servant stammered, frightened by Anna.

And Anna couldn't hear what he was talking about when she heard a lot of blood, and she learned that Karenin was still in the government building, so she directly let Kondraki drive over in a carriage, and during that part of the journey, she did not think that if Karenin was really seriously injured, he would not still be in the government building.

"Calm down." Anna said to herself, biting her lip, her eyes fixed on the straight ahead, her mind had so many things on her mind that she couldn't think of anything.

When she got out of the carriage at the government building, she felt that her legs were a little empty.

Anna walked briskly, and the guard knew her and seemed to say something, but Anna didn't hear clearly, and it wasn't until she saw Vlamichir that she asked stiffly, "Where is he?" ”

As soon as she asked, Karenin came out of an office, not wearing a coat, but wearing a coat, and his shirt was splattered with some blood, a little oozing, but he looked fine, and his expression was still a little puzzled.

Anna looked at the other almost quickly, and after confirming that Karenin had no external injuries except for a bandage on her left hand, she was completely relieved, but she only inhaled carefully, as if she had forgotten to breathe at that time.

"Anna, are you alright?" Karenin frowned and asked, he walked towards Anna, a little fast, almost in the blink of an eye, in front of her, and Anna realized that she could no longer walk calmly.

The breath he had held before was completely released after seeing Karenin.

"Hold me." She whispered that she didn't want to lose face in front of people.

"Are you alright?" Karenin gently supported her with his intact right hand.

Anna shook her head, and it took a long time for her to recover.

She looked up at him and made a somewhat stiff smile.

"I think something went wrong with the person who came to report it, and he said you were stabbed, and it's a bit serious." It took a lot of effort for Anna to spit out the last few words, and her fingers unconsciously tightened on the forearm of Karenin's right hand.

Karenin said: "I was attacked, but only slightly, the guard wounded the man, and the blood was not mine. ”

"Ah, I guess so." Anna said softly, and with a half-sound, she let go of her grip on Karenin's hand and moved her hands and feet.

"It's okay." Anna smiled, as if she had recovered again. She tugged at her hair and licked her lips unconsciously.

"Then, you should stay for a while, I, I'll go back first." Anna spoke almost to herself, and before Karenin could react, she turned to leave.

"Wait, Anna."

Karenin grabbed Anna's hand with his uninjured hand.

"What's wrong?" Anna turned around, her eyes filled with panic that she couldn't hide. That look made Karenin stunned for a moment.

Seeing Karenin's stunned, Anna pursed her lips, and she suppressed her emotions.

"I'll go back with you." Karenin said, still not letting go of his hand.

This is not like him, outside, except for the necessary etiquette, Karenin is not intimate with Anna physically.

"Wait a minute." Karenin whispered, slightly softer. If it weren't for the fact that there was only Flammykiel here, people from other departments would have been surprised to see it.

Anna finally composed, and she nodded, but remained somewhat silent.

Karenin exchanged a few words with Vlammykiel, and then left the government hall with Anna.

Kondraki cared about Karenin's injuries and made sure he was okay before driving home.

It was very quiet in the carriage, and Karenin turned his head to look at his wife, who deliberately turned slightly to the window of the carriage, almost to mean that he refused to communicate at the moment.

His wife's hand rested on her knee, and Karenin remembered that when he pulled the other man, Anna's fingers trembled nervously.

"I'm sorry, Anna, I've worried you."

As Karenin had finished saying this, he saw his wife look back sharply at him, but after looking at him for a while, she only smiled uncomfortably.

"As a wife, it is my responsibility and obligation to care about your health and safety."

"In the same situation, you will be the same."

Anna took a deep breath after saying that, and then changed the subject: "Will the wound hurt?" ”

"Not really." Karenin said that before Anna wanted to say anything else about nonsense, he was the first to say, "I'm very happy." ”

Anna's facial expression stiffened slightly, and then smiled.

"Alexei, maybe you really need to show Dr. Cullens that no one is going to be happy after being hurt."

"But you're worried about me."

Karenin is like a wolf approaching step by step, but the expression in his blue eyes is soft.

Anna exhaled slowly, then said, "As I said, that's the duty and obligation of being a wife. She paused, then spoke quickly.

"If you're happy about it, so be it." As she spoke, she noticed Karenin's hand on her chin, and a shallow kiss landed on her lips.

She looked at each other in a daze.

A smile still curled up at the corners of Karenin's mouth, but it didn't fade quickly.

"I'm glad I repeat again, Anna."

A flush appeared on Anna's face, and she turned her head, she shouldn't have done it, because when she did, it was tantamount to admitting.

Fortunately, Karenin didn't say anything more, she didn't want to be disturbed by the other party again.

As soon as they got out of the carriage, Seryosha ran out of the door, his eyes a little red.

"Father, are you hurt?"

Anna looked at the stammering servant, who winced.

She knew that she couldn't blame that person for this, but she couldn't help but be angry in her heart.

"Next time, make important things clear first, and don't say anything that is meaningless or unrelated to the main event." Karenin's words saved the servant.

Seryosha stood beside Karenin, carefully examining the other with his eyes, making sure that he was all right.

"Are you badly hurt?" Seryosha's voice was a little choked.

Karenin unconsciously softened his voice: "I'm fine, but I have a little injury to my left hand, and it will be better in about a week." ”

Seryosha wiped his tears, and finally began to cry, he was frightened.

How afraid Karenin was of the tears of children and women, and it was his son who wept.

Anna saw Karenin's panic, she reached out and took Seryosha into her arms to comfort him.

"Right...... I'm sorry...... Father ......" Seryosha sobbed, he wanted to express that he really didn't want to cry, he didn't want to be a crybaby in his father's mind.

Karenin may not immediately understand this sentiment, but he can do so with a little more of his observational skills in officialdom.

He is not the kind of father who will hold his son in his arms and love him, and he is not very good at coaxing a child, let alone comforting such a little boy who is not yet ten years old.

He lacked a role in his life to teach him how to be a father, but fortunately, Karenin always had his own kind and simple ideas.

"You're scared, and at your age, it's forgivable, and, next time, I think you'll be able to overcome your emotions, will you? Seryosha. ”

......Seryosha nodded, wiped his tears again, and then hiccuped, burying himself in Anna's arms with shame and guilt before Karenin could say anything.

At dinner, Seryosha's eyes were still a little red, he was not as lively as usual, and he didn't coquettish with Anna, but just stared at Karenin seriously, until Karenin said: "Why don't you eat?" ”

"Uncomfortable?"

Seryosha shook his head: "Do you need me to help you with anything?" Father. ”

"No, Seryosha, you just need to finish your dinner and don't waste food." Karenin said calmly.

"I'm not badly injured, I don't need to worry too much, I'm fine."

Seryosha finally nodded and slowly began to eat his own dinner.

Although Karenin had been informed after dinner that he could recuperate for a week, he had no intention of putting the work at hand on hold.

However, there will always be someone who will not be afraid of his grim face.

Anna took the documents from Karenin's hand, and she was followed by Seryosha.

"Father, the doctor said you should rest early." Seryosha looked at Karenin with a disapproving look, as if he were the disobedient child.

Karenin was almost stunned, he had never encountered such an act that forced him to stop working.

"Your son is right." Anna said.

"If you insist on continuing like this instead of resting, he may still cry." Anna threatened slowly.

Seryosha blushed a little and retorted in a low voice: "I won't cry, Mom, I will reason with my father." ”

Karenin looked at the person in front of him, and finally, he said: "I will rest early." ”

Now that he had decided to rest earlier, Karenin said he needed to take a bath.

"But, you're hurt." It was Anna's turn to speak dryly.

Karenin looked at his wife lightly: "From a scientific point of view, I only have an injury to my left hand, and I can still take a bath, as long as my left hand does not touch the water." ”

"So, does Father need help?" Seryosha was a sincere child, and then, Anna, finding that the eyes of father and son were focused on her. 166 Reading Network
