"Oh, yes, you are also the young master of the Feng Family," Emily said with a grateful smile.
She liked Sam very much and knew that he was more concerned about Anne. But despite feeling sad about it, she said,
"Oh, If only you were Anne's husband, Sam." Emily frowned at the thought of it. She hated Kevin so much. He did nothing but bully Anne.
Sam's hand froze when he heard that and in an hoarse voice, he asked, "Why do you say that, Em?"
"Look, since she married Kevin, all he did was just bully her. He is good for nothing. If he hadn't gone too far, Charles would still be healthy." Emily thumped the table in anger which caught the attention of the people who were around them then.
"Enjoy your meal. Everyone is looking at you now. And by the way, please don't say that again," Sam said monotonously.
All of a sudden, Emily got really confused. "Wait, do you not like Anne? I'm pretty sure you do."
Emily had always been someone to speak what was on her mind. She didn't get bitter over the fact that the person she loved adored another woman. She thought it was useless to mope over something not meant for her.
"All I want right now is to take good care of her and keep Charles healthy," Sam said after he witnessed how sincere Emily was.
The sweet smell of flowers and plants filled the room. Although Emily's expression was a little heavy at first, she felt cheerful later on.
It was not wrong for Sam to like Anne. Anne was naturally a pretty likeable person, after all.
Emily was indeed a little disappointed but she just shrugged it off.
When they both went back, they found that Charles and Anne were both about to sleep.
"Anne, get some sleep. I'll take care of Charles." Emily brought some desserts for Anne from outside. Her smile was as bright as the sun.
"Alright then." Anne gently handed Charles to Emily and decided to rest even just for a couple of hours.
As soon as Emily went out of the room, she bumped into Sam.
"You finally want to have a rest?" Sam asked jokingly.
"If I have another baby, then Charles's disease can be cured, right?" Anne asked.
"Go and have yourself examined first. Don't be too worried."
He was worried that she would be stimulated because she had been feeling emotional recently.
"Okay." Anne agreed immediately. As long as it would be good for the baby, she would do it.
Meanwhile, in the old house of the Fu Family.
The light in the main room was very bright which made the place look magnificent.
However, the atmosphere was pretty heavy.
"Tell me, who does Anne think she is? How could she just allow Kevin talk back at me for her sake?" Selma cried to Carl as soon as she came back.
Carl frowned at her behavior which made him feel disgusted.
"Well, are you forgetting that our family owes a lot to Anne? We used to believe in rumors about her which almost enabled Cherry to hurt the child. She has every reason to hate us."
Carl gave a fair evaluation after she heard Selma complain, but his words only caused Selma to feel even more resentment for Anne.
"Dad, how can you say that? Everything I did was for Kevin. Even if Anne didn't do anything wrong, her child is already sick, anyway. How can we even continue to allow that woman to stay in our family?"
After what happened in the hospital, Selma felt a sense of crisis and had decided not to accept Anne, no matter what.
"That's enough. Haven't you made enough trouble already?" Do you want what happened with Cherry to happen again?" Carl roared.
Selma knew how powerful Carl was so she had to stop herself from going against him at that instant.
"Dad, of course not. I'm sorry." After saying that, Selma went back to her room to rest, taking the excuse that she was not feeling well.
"Master, don't be angry. You have to go to bed early today," the servant said.
"Alas, I am indeed getting old. I can't handle my children's affairs anymore." Carl had only seen Anne twice.
The first time was when he celebrated his birthday where she was taunted by people because of her clothes. At first, he also felt that she was thoughtless, until he saw her again.
He was sure that this girl was not that easy to get close to, but she was definitely not a bad person.
The Fu Family had always known people well, but for some reason, Kevin and Selma always ended up being the ones deluded by bad people.
"Let's go back and have a rest." Carl went back to his room with the help of a servant. The hall was suddenly peaceful again.
The prison was desolate.
It was far different from the downtown where some plants were planted when autumn came. It was grim here, and the people here were cold to each other.
Cherry, who was used to being praised by everybody, felt unconformable being here.
The date of his appointment with Devin came.
"Cherry, someone is here to see you," said the prison guard coldly. Cherry had a faint smile on her face when she heard that.
