Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 223

A month later, winter had completely passed.

When Anne arrived at the airport, she saw the lush green trees outside and knew that spring had finally come.

Sam was the one who came to pick her up.

She was feeling a little under the weather, but when she saw Sam, she tried to force a smile.

"Welcome back, Anne!" Sam greeted.

His eyes seemed like they were avoiding something, and it made Anne feel uneasy for a second.

"Is something wrong? Do you have something to tell me?" she asked.

"Let's go and see Eddy. He's in my hospital right now because he suddenly contracted an illness."

Anne almost fell to her knees. Her heart sank and her face darkened. "I'm going to see him right away."

This was the only thought in her mind. She didn't expect that such a thing could happen in a short period of time. During the time she was abroad to be focused on creating new designs, Eddy was still battling against his disease.

In the VIP ward of the hospital, there was a child lying on the pure white bed sheet. If one didn't look carefully, it would look like the bed was empty.

When she saw a small bulge on the quilt, her heart softened. Even if she was armed with swords and blades, she still felt defeated.

"Although Eddy's condition is stable right now, we are still worried that it might get worse. If that happens, it could be critical for his health," Sam said with full honesty.

To be perfectly honest, he wasn't sure whether telling Anne the worst result was a good idea.

"I see." Anne's voice was almost inaudible, and it made people feel that she was exhausted.

"In fact, I really want to see Eddy recover. Kevin once said that if possible, he would like to have a test tube baby. I took a test with Kevin before, but they said that I was not in good health, so it was impossible."

Her last hope was shattered. Her uterus was permanently and irreversibly damaged.

But Sam's eyes moved. "Kevin was really willing to have a test tube baby with you?"

He was quite surprised. He now believed that Kevin truly loved Anne.

"So what? It's ultimately useless. The most competent doctor around here said that it couldn't work, so I've already given up."

That was also the reason why she cut off her ties with Kevin.

Sam frowned at her remark. Generally speaking, doing IVF indeed required that the couple had a good heath condition, but it was somewhat arbitrary for the doctor to draw such a conclusion for Anne.

"I'll figure it out. You can rest here, and I'll bring you something to eat," said Sam.

Since she boarded the plane, she hadn't eaten anything yet. She had consumed all of her energy, and she was looking rather pale.

In the empty ward, Eddy's little hands exposed from the quilt were pink and lovely, but he looked even thinner than before.

He opened his eyes while Anne was absent-minded. His bright eyes resembled precious gemstones. He immediately smiled when he saw her.

He seemed to have recognized her, so he stretched his little hand from the bed to let her hold him.

Sadly, his health had deteriorated further. After a short moment, his hands felt feeble. When Anne held his soft body, she almost broke down in tears.

"Eddy is such a good boy when his mommy is around. It's the first time he didn't cry when he woke up," Sam commented.

"Yes, he's a good boy." Anne giggled a little after hearing Sam's remark. Simultaneously, he had already placed the dishes on the table.

"The food in the hospital is a little light, but you just came back. It's good for your health to eat something."

Sam took over the responsibility of looking after Eddy. So, Anne sat in front of the small table, taking a few small bites until she couldn't eat any more.

"Eat a little more," said Sam.

"No, I'm full," Anne replied.

Just now, Emily entered the ward. When she saw Anne, she embraced her and said, "Anne, you're finally back. Why have you lost so much weight?"

Emily felt sorry for her, but Sam fixed his eyes on her. When Emily saw the look in Sam's eyes, she subconsciously kept silent.

"Emily, stay with Anne. I still have some things to deal with in the hospital," said Sam.

"Okay, don't worry. I will take good care of both Anne and Eddy," Emily declared, patting her chest.

In the office of the hospital.

There was a potted cactus on the table that brought a little life to the serious ambiance of the office.

Sam leaned against his chair and frowned at the documents in his hands.

He found out that both the doctor who examined Anne's body and the doctor who she met later for the test tube baby were the same person.

He angrily dialed a number on his phone. "Ask Geoffrey to come to my office."

Five minutes later, Geoffrey entered Sam's office. Obviously, he didn't know what had happened. He was even delighted to see Sam.

"Mr. Sam, what can I do for you?" he asked.

However, Sam's sharp gaze intimidated Geoffrey.

"I want to ask you why you were here that day, when it was supposed to be Dr. Li's task," said Sam.
