Harry was happy even, so he was so exhausted all the time after Louis visited him the first time.

He was happy but he got weaker every day but it was ok. Harry knew he would get better.

Even so Harry didn't eat most of the days, Anne was so happy when he does it, even if it means that Louis needs to come more often. In these few weeks they have done that Louis kinda grew on her, but it was never the right time to thank him again until Harry was out from his chemo that day and Louis came to visit before his shift.

Louis was about leave when Anne called him back.

"Louis, wait a minute I need to talk to you.", Anne said.

Louis turn to the brunette woman in her floral dress with worry written over his face. If his heart would still be beating his would drop in the second she said it.

"Something was wrong with Harry", he thought but still sat next to Anne on a stool.

Anne looks so exhausted but still a smile on her face.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong with him?", Louis asked worryingly.

Anne just smiled exhausted. She was happy that Louis was a good friend to her son even, so she find it a little bit weird. But she knows that this man in front of her would do anything for her child like a best friend would do because Niall is the same.

"No, everything is fine. More than fine. They're thinking they can operate him soon. But that's not why I called you back.", she answered.

Louis let out a breath of relief and Anne took a deep breath.

"I called you back because I wanted to apologise to you for my behaviour a few weeks ago. You were just a stranger and I wanted to protect my son. You make him forget his sickness for a short time and he needs you.", Anne apologized.

Louis just smiled. This little boy made his way into his heart even so he knew he shouldn't get this attached to the human boy.

""Don't worry about that, Mrs. Styles. I'm not a person who holds a grudge for eternity.", Louis smiled and thought of his aunt back in the day.

"Anne. Call me Anne. All friends of Harry call me Anne. Mrs. Styles makes me feel old.", Anne laughed.

"Ok, Anne.", Louis smiled friendly, trying not to laugh.

If she just knew his little secret, she would feel less old.

It went silence for a while so Louis debated if he just leaves when Anne spoke up again.

"I'm so worried about him even so the doctors told me he could be operated soon. Everything can still happen.", Anne sighed.

Louis understand this.

"That was probably why acted the way I acted. I feel so helpless sitting here and seeing my child suffer from an illness I can't protect him from.", Anne cried.

She hold these tears for so long inside her and finally they broke through.

Louis didn't knew what he should do except to pull the crying woman into a hug. A much needed hug.

Anne reminded Louis a lot of his mum, who would sit next to her sick children too until they get better or they died. Which was common in his time because a simple flu could take you out. But being rich he didn't suffer that much, Unfortunately one of his younger siblings die before he got turned because of a flu.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't meant to cry.", Anne sobbed and pulled away from Louis warm embrace.

"No need to apologize.", Louis smiled and stroke over her arm.
