Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 42

Emily immediately felt irritated when Cherry knelt down and cried.

"Miss, we don't blame you. It's not your fault. You don't have to kneel down to us!"

Linda was quite shocked at her action. Her heart softened at the sight of the poor girl as she sincerely apologized to her. She understood that she couldn't bear to blame her.

She shifted her gaze at Anne. The moment she looked at her, she knew she could not sympathize with her.

"Is she your cousin?"

Linda walked closer to Anne with the help of her husband, Craig Sun. They resembled old people. Although they were getting older, they were still full of energy.

It was an unfortunate event for them. The trauma was still evident in their faces.

"What did our daughter do to you? How could you do this to her?"

Linda started to question Anne. Her eyes were begging. Anne stood up and looked straight into their eyes.

She said, "Mrs. Sun, I didn't touch Ruth. I swear!"

The way she spoke was so quiet, and her aura was so strong. Although Linda was already on the verge of collapse, she couldn't care if Anne's words were truthful or not.

But Craig Sun was still a sensible person. He nodded and answered, "Girl, I believe you won't do that. When the operation is over, everything will be clear."

"Thank you." Anne moved aside and made room for the two elders.

As they were waiting for the operation to end, Linda sat on the chair anxiously with a dull look on her face. Craig Sun tried to comfort her and managed to calm her down.

Cherry was left astonished as she stared at Anne. She was amazed that Anne was able to resolve their problem with a few words.

Emily was breathless for a moment. She came back to her senses, finally relieved and exclaimed, "Oh my God, I was scared to death. I thought they would hit you!"

"How could it be?" Anne shook her head. "Don't think too much. Does Kevin know we are here?"

"Yes." Emily nodded. "I called Sam as soon as I got here. They should be arriving soon."

At a critical moment, the first person Emily remembered was Sam. She was really afraid that something bad would happen, so she couldn't help crying when she called Sam.

Hearing her crying like that, Sam realized the gravity of the situation and immediately called Kevin.

"Okay." Anne nodded. She leaned against the wall as she stared at the operation lamp. She clasped her hands and started to pray that Ruth would be fine.

Emily was right all along, even though she didn't push Ruth, it was partly her fault. If she hadn't moved aside, Ruth wouldn't have fallen down.

But if she didn't move, she could have fallen down instead.

Anne touched her abdomen and smiled bitterly. She did that for her baby. If she weren't pregnant, she would've sacrificed herself and fallen down instead.

"Humph, don't be smug." Cherry stood beside Anne without her noticing. "If something really happens to Ruth, you will have a hard time."

Anne raised an eyebrow and glanced at her with cold eyes. "Really? Do you think you'll be better off?"

"Why won't I be better?" Cherry smirked and whispered in Anne's ear, "For me, as long as I play a little trick, you will be doomed. Haven't you understood this until now?"

"Cherry, you are in such a hurry."

Anne turned her head and stepped aside. She didn't want to hear from Cherry anymore.

Emily noticed that Cherry was getting too close to Anne. She quickly stepped in and stood between the two, leaving no chance for them to speak.

"Anne!"

A loud scream was heard along the corridor of the hospital. Linda immediately recognized who it was. "Alan, you're here!"

As soon as Alan received the phone call, he immediately set aside his work and rushed over to the hospital. While he was on his way, he had heard that Anne was involved in the incident. He wanted to cut Anne into a thousand pieces, thinking that she was the reason behind all of it.

"Anne, what kind of feud do you have with the Sun Family? How could you do this to my sister?"

He walked straight towards Anne. His eyes were sharper than a sword, as if he was trying to pierce her heart.

"What do you mean?"

Anne knew that Alan thought that it was her fault. He had always thought badly of her. Sure enough, she could tell from the moment that he arrived here and headed straight to confront her, he was definitely counting it over her head.

"Don't you know what I mean?" Alan started pointing at the tip of Anne's nose. He clenched his teeth as he spoke accusingly, "What can't a woman like you do?"

Anne bit her lips and stared at Alan blankly. "I didn't do anything to your sister. Don't blame me for this."

"You are really—" He stopped mid-sentence. He suddenly smirked and contained his anger. "Let me tell you, if anything happens to my sister, I will never let you go for the rest of my life."

After he spoke, he turned his back at her, and walked towards his parents and began to comfort them.

Anne leaned against the wall as she felt a sudden chill run down her spine. She clenched her fists tightly as she tried to contain the pain. She couldn't feel any warmth either.

Emily knew that Anne must be hurting. She approached her and held onto her arms as she tried to console her.
