Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 416

For a while, Selma kept quiet and just squinted her eyes. Finally, she said, "As long as the price is reasonable, there's nothing we can't buy. We just have to use the right approach to do it. Now, let's go back first. There's no need to hurry."

Eddy's health was very stable right now. There was no need to rush.

Anne and Kevin were both surprised at Selma's words. They didn't expect for her to be so level-headed about this.

Nonetheless, her reaction was great for them. She didn't cause any trouble after all.

They then returned to their home. Selma immediately picked Eddy up and retired to her room. Looking at Kevin, Anne said, "Someone messed up our plan."

She truly believed so. Otherwise, how could Bob's parents know about the plan, let alone get their hands on so much money overnight?

Kevin nodded with a cold expression etched on his face. It was obvious that someone deliberately exposed them.

"I'll find it out who did it," he said gravely.

While it was true that they were not in A City, Kevin still had connections in this place. He had formed a relationship with the police officers here back when he was still looking for Anne. If he came to them, they would surely help him.

Tiredly, Anne closed her eyes and nodded. She always felt guilty these days, especially whenever she saw Bob and his mother smiling together. Now that her real intentions had been revealed, she felt very relieved.

She herself hated to be lied to; so, of course, she didn't want to do that to others. Bob's mother probably thought the same. To add, it wasn't like she was asking for some irrelevant thing, it was about Bob's heart and life!

The request was hard to accept so it was normal for the parents to kick her out. Anne couldn't be angry at them because if someone asked for her son's heart, she would probably want to kill them!

Kevin stood up and looked at Emily who instantly understood what he wanted her to do. Worried about Kevin, Sam followed him.

While in the room, Selma quietly held Eddy in her arms.

"What are you thinking about, Mom?" Anne's voice suddenly interrupted.

Selma's eyes looked cold and flashed with a murderous intent. Looking down on Eddy, she smiled and kissed his forehead. Then, she turned to Anne. "You think too much of others and are always sentimental. You complicate simple problems too. For me, it's not that hard of a situation."

The sudden sermon was confusing. Anne frowned and waited, but Selma didn't say anything else.

Shaking her head, Anne went back to her room. She slowly closed her eyes as she tiredly lay on the bed. Just when she was about to succumb to sleep, someone knocked on the door. She stood up and opened it to a very anxious Emily.

The look on Emily's face was grim. She gritted her teeth and said, "Anne, Mrs. Selma went out just now. I'm afraid she'll go to the hospital."

They didn't tell Selma about Bob's ward but there was no doubt that she could find that information out herself.

A moment of silence passed. Anne picked up her clothes and walked out. She instructed Emily, "Take good care of Eddy here."

The woman nodded. She gave a sigh of relief as soon as Anne went out the door.

As expected, Selma did go to the hospital. It only took her a few minutes to find out where Bob's ward was located.

It was very easy, to be honest. Bob was the only patient with blood disease in the whole hospital. If one were to ask the doctors here, one would quickly know.

Bob's parents didn't go home tonight. The two of them just sat there and watched their sleeping son. From time to time, they both sighed heavily and furrowed their forehead.

The situation was totally unbelievable. They thought Anne was a good woman. They didn't realize early enough that her true intention was to take away their son's heart!

Once a person lost their heart, how could they stay alive?

If it happened to an adult, medical equipment could be used to assist them, but Bob was just a child. He was too young to survive such a thing!

Furthermore, why should their son give his heart away to another child?

"How can they be so arrogant? Is it because they're rich? Do they think people's lives could be bought with money?" Bob's mother sighed and bitterly smiled. "If we still had enough savings, one of us could have stayed to accompany Bob. We wouldn't have given Anne the chance to approach our son."

"Well, it already happened. What's the use of talking about it still?" Bob's father sighed. They were weary and old. Both parents had grey hair already.

"We already paid Anne back. But we still have debts to pay to others. We should go to work tomorrow. It's not a good idea to just stay here with our child." All the wrinkles on Bob's father seemed to indicate his deep sadness.

Worriedly, Bob's mother shook her head. "Maybe I should stay here with Bob. What do you think? Anne might not give up so easily."

He opened his mouth to refute but nothing came out in the end. He just sighed. It would be less worrisome if his wife stayed here with Bob.

"Excuse me. Can I talk to you?" The ward's door was opened all of a sudden. A woman with designer clothes and delicate makeup stood at the door. She was very beautiful and elegant. It was hard to tell her age.

The couple looked at each other, surprised at the newcomer. They both wondered who this woman was.

"It's very difficult to treat blood disease. With your current economic status, you can't even get the disease under control, can you?" Selma intrusively stated as she stared at the couple. Then, she glanced at the sleeping child with cold eyes.

As long as this child died, Eddy could live. She would get his heart for her dear grandson!
