Thursday continued … .

Anna looked at James, simply in shock with everything that had gone on .

James was struggling with what had happened, and turned to Anna saying "I cannot talk now" . He stood up and walked back to the patio shutting the door behind him as he needed a few minutes away from Anna .

Logically he knew Anna had nothing to do with Lu Jinhu and his crimes . However Anna brought him into the family . Yes, he had abused her knowing what he now knew she unintentionally placed the family and their friends at risk . He was an animal . Staying around Anna there and then would result in him saying something he knew he would regret in the future .

Walking over to a seating area, he sat down . James started to question himself as to why he was reacting in the way he was . This immediately turned him to thinking about had occurred in the last, as he glanced at his watch, eighteen hours . He could not believe the beautiful woman he met, when he observed her standing next to another woman, who was Anna's friend . She immediately fascinated and drew him in, even before he knew her age .

James realise in himself, at High School he had been a poor student, but he knew what he wanted to pursue as a career, nursing . He considered it his calling . being the only male in his year, everyone thought him gay . He decided within the first few weeks in his first year not to bother arguing against this presumption, despite having a girlfriend at the time . the benefit was he was not hit on by women at university, allowing him to concentrate on his studies .

What a quirk of fate with Anna getting injured that allowed him to get some hours of one-on-one nursing and rehabilitation work, meaning that the balance of his practical placement hours would come down .

He remember in the days after arriving, the discussion he had with his brother-in-law . He questioned Hou Yi ruthlessly about his relationship with his sister, as something never felt right with him . Yi took all that questioning and simply took the abuse he directed at him for allowing his sister get hurt . She did not deserve what had happened to her since her marriage .

However, the look when Hou Yi spoke about falling in love with Anna, said it all . He knew it was the absolute truth . The words stuck in his mind, "All it took was just a glimpse of her, and I knew that she was the love of my life . I would do anything for her . If all she wanted me to be was her friend, than I accept take that as it would mean I was part of her life and I could satisfy myself she was happy, safe and protected . When I had the chance to claim her as mine, I took it with both hands, because it represented all my hopes and dreams in one . I cannot help but to blame myself for the event that have happened but in the end we will deal with these things and move forward together . "

James simply thought that his brother-in-law was spouting rubbish, about knowing Anna was the one for him on a simple glance . No one falls in love with someone at first sight, let alone is willing to sacrifice themselves and their happiness for the other .

Little did he know at that time his brother-in-law was right . Just spotting the beautiful young woman, convinced him of everything his brother-in-law had said and more . The problem was, he could not have a relationship with her . She deserved the world, and he was a simply student, without wealth or a career .

The other problem was that she was only sixteen . Yes, there was six years between them, but that was more than a third of her life . He hoped when she turned eighteen that there would be a chance for him with her, as he would have started his career and be in a position to offer her something, particularly given her families likely wealth .

The one thing, that was already haunting him was the hurt in Alecia's eyes, and he wanted to kill all those responsible for that . When she told him last night she had been r*ped he wanted to kill those responsible but wanted a true relationship with her .

However as the night wore on, he realised that that changed nothing for Alecia . He had to focus her, not the impossible and do what his brother-in-law suggested, make sure that she was happy, safe and secure . Being her friend would achieve that, and regardless of what the future would bring he would always be there for her without anyone being suspicious of him .
