Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 43

Ruth was the daughter of a rich family. It was inconceivable for such a young woman to lie unconscious in bed for the rest of her life!

"Yes, she will wake up." Sam nodded and raised his hand to touch his forehead. "Let's get inside and see her."

As he started to make his way to the ward, Emily stood still, unable to take a step.

"No, I don't dare to go in there."

Anne grabbed hold of Emily's hand. "Don't be afraid. We should go to see her."

"But..." Emily sniffed, tears streaming down her face. "I'm really scared, even at the thought of seeing her lying there."

"Okay. I'll go by myself."

Anne turned around and headed in the direction of the ward.

"Anne, tell me, why did you do that?"

Kevin finally opened his mouth. With that simple question he made Anne's pride and self-esteem sink through the floor. He still didn't believe her!

Or better, he had never believed her.

As Kevin's voice resounded coldly from the empty corridor, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of Anne's lips.

"Do you really think I did it?"

"Or what? I didn't expect you to be so vicious." Kevin didn't give Anne any chance to take a breath.

Holding Cherry's hand tightly, he strode toward Anne with an icy stare that seemed to penetrate her heart and soul.

Anne averted her eyes. "I thought you knew I've always been so cold-blooded and ruthless."

After pronouncing those words, she felt a sharp pain take hold of her heart.

Emily knew that Anne was saying that out of anger. But without Kevin's support and help, she would indubitably be hated by the Sun Family for life.

Only Kevin could solve this matter once and for all.

"None of this is Anne's fault. Ruth got off the escalator by herself. Anne didn't touch her at all."

Emily tried her best to vouch for Anne, but neither of the people involved in the story cared.

Anne's heart had been dead for ages. As long as she knew that she hadn't done anything wrong, she would be fine. As for Kevin, what he thought was his business and had nothing to do with her.

"Really?" Kevin sneered. "I believe what I heard before more than what you said just now."

"Kevin! Don't push it!"

Sam couldn't stand it anymore. He knew that Kevin didn't like Anne, but this time he had gone too far.

"Did I do anything wrong?" Kevin turned to look at Sam. "She took a life away this time."

For him there was no difference between a vegetable and a dead person.

Sam matched his glare. "Do you really think that Anne would do such a thing?" He couldn't believe that someone could be so brute.

"Should I trust her?" Kevin suddenly burst into laughter. A complacent smile spread across his cold and hard-featured face, making him feel even more ironic.

"You-"

Emily couldn't put up with him anymore. How could he be like that! She threw a worried glance at Anne, who was standing still, a layer of sadness stretching over her beautiful face.

"Don't think that I will clear up your mess for you."

Kevin looked up at Anne, his gaze penetrating. He was well aware that if he stood up for Anne, the Sun Family would not cause any trouble for her.

But he knew that he wouldn't do that. Because he believed that the woman in front of him was vicious and didn't deserve pity or sympathy.

Anne nodded, her face expressionless.

"I know. I have never thought about asking you to clear it up for me."

She felt dizzy and couldn't see Kevin's face clearly. Although he was not standing far from her, she could vaguely make out his eyebrows and eyes.

But his expression was so unmistakably glacial that she felt a chill run down her spine.

He was the only one who could make her feel cold whenever he looked at her. Unfortunately, she could not tell this feeling to anyone, especially Kevin, for he would never care.

"Good." Squinting his eyes, Kevin lowered his head and whispered in Cherry's ear, "Let's go home."

Then he turned around, refusing to be in Anne's presence for one more second. Cherry sobbed in Kevin's arms, looking miserable.

As their figures faded along the corridor, Anne let her body collapse against the wall, unable to hold on any longer.

"Anne!"

Sam rushed over and helped her up. "You're feverish. I'll drive you back!"

Perhaps that happened because she had stayed in a dark place for a long time, and now she was burning up.

At the sight of Anne's pale face, Emily felt scared, but she was mostly pissed off with Kevin for not believing Anne. What was more, he left the hospital with Cherry without caring about her well-being at all!
