Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 164

The AN Group had caught the attention of reporters from all over the country. Today, they flocked to the company's gate.

"Everyone, please calm down. We were informed about the circulating rumors that are detrimental to our company's reputation, but they are merely rumors. The AN Group with its CEO, Kevin Fu, will do further investigation and we will make sure that those responsible would be held accountable," Daniel faced the press and explained patiently until Kevin came.

Question after question, the crowd decreased until finally everyone left. Daniel wiped the sweat on his forehead and gave a sign of relaxation after doing a lot of intense talking. When Kevin's car appeared in the background, he finally felt relieved.

Alas, he managed to deal with the reporters before his boss came. He was not frightened by the overwhelming sea of reporters, but what made him terrified was the thought of Kevin getting angry.

"Mr. Kevin, it's good to see you." Daniel smiled again when he faced Kevin.

"Tell the emergency services team to find out the ins and outs of this matter and look into Cherry's whereabouts." Kevin then went straight into the office after giving the order.

In his workplace, he considered all things thoroughly and dialed quickly. "Also, go and find out if this has something to do with Garret."

The last time he saw Cherry, she was with Garret. It was hard to guarantee that Garret wouldn't plot anything behind his back.

Although Kevin knew Anne's personality, he was still worried sick that Anne would start to overthink. When he called her, he was anxious of and was still figuring what to say because he seemed to have never comforted Anne before.

"Hello, Kevin. What's up?" Anne's voice was calm and not too surprised at Kevin's sudden phone call.

Hearing that Anne was composed, Kevin was still tongue-tied. A few second later, he spoke up. "I'll handle this mess very well. Don't worry."

Obviously, Anne didn't expect him to let go comforting words to her, but, on the second thought, it shouldn't be a surprise because it was his reputation and legacy at stake.

"Thank you. I'll be going now. The baby needs to be fed." Anne hung up the phone as Kevin's ears were filled with the constant beeping of the phone.

In less than two hours, the emergency services team had already figured out who sent the article. To their surprise, it was a newly established company within the district and hadn't made a name for themselves yet.

When Daniel passed the information to Kevin, he was perplexedly.

"Bold of this small firm to find fault with our company and try to stain our reputation. Mr. Kevin, why don't we knock them out their micro business directly?"

Daniel was exasperated. He thought it was a despicable move for a small company to slander a corporate giant in order to gain fame.

"That would be unnecessary. Don't act rashly now. This company may be the scapegoat of another company. They have nothing to lose. They're already at the bottom but destroying them might not resolve this commotion." Kevin spoke superciliously.

Seeing that Kevin had a plan ahead of everyone, Daniel breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "Well, let's talk about it once we are finished gathering information about Garret and Cherry."

About half an hour later, the information was completely passed on to Kevin with the help of AN Group's efficient and skillful personnel.

"Mr. Kevin, this is the latest information we got on Garret and Cherry. You should give it a look."

As soon as Daniel finished speaking, Kevin's phone rang. He could have just ignored it, but it showed that the call was coming from Anne.

Without hesitation, he took the call to find that the baby had a fever all of a sudden.

"I'll just take these reports. I'm going home. Keep investigating the two's movement."

Kevin left the company in a flash. He was worried about Anne. She wouldn't even bother calling him if something big came up, but this time she did, and it was because of the baby.

Half an hour later, Kevin arrived home.

As he neared the door, he heard the slight whimpering of the baby. He walked briskly to reach the door. As soon as he entered, the baby's cry exploded in his face.

Anne was there anxiously carrying the baby and walking back and forth in the room. With worry written all over her face, she had lost her composure. She was completely powerless, a mother who stood there and watched as her child wailed.

"Kevin! Finally, you're here."

Anne felt a sense of relief the moment she saw Kevin. A sudden rush of reassurance flooded her heart.

"What's wrong with the baby? Why hasn't he been sent to the hospital yet? Where's Sam?" Kevin probed and wonder why Sam didn't came.

"Sam just flew abroad. He probably turned off his phone once he came aboard, so I have no choice but to call you. If I had the key to the garage, I would have left you unbothered and driven to the hospital myself." Anne reasoned as she tried to calm her nerves.

"Okay, but we have to go now."

Kevin took the baby from Anne's embrace and tucked him in his. The butler immediately opened the door and assisted Anne to the car. Kevin gave back the baby to Anne as he started the car's engine.

Kevin's house was distant to Sam's hospital. It took them about fifty minutes of anxious driving before they arrived.

At this time, the baby had fallen asleep, tired from all the crying, but Anne was far from complacent. She changed the antipyretic patch of the baby and felt the burning temperature of the baby's forehead.

After they arrived, they were led to the consultation room of the hospital. There a pediatrician asked, "What's wrong with the baby?"

"He suddenly had a fever, but there were no symptoms. No cold or whatsoever. I don't know what happened."
