"I said it was none of your business! You should pay more attention to your darling,"
Anne said in a jealous tone again while pushing Kevin away. She felt an indescribable grievance at the thought that Cherry wanted to kill her and the baby she was carrying. She felt even worse because Kevin was still favoring Cherry.
"I'm really worried about your condition. We need to go to the hospital for a checkup. Let's go!"
Although Kevin was unhappy with the attitude Anne was displaying, he still couldn't help but feel worried about her and the baby. He would never want anything bad to happen to them, especially to their child.
He then carried Anne and walked towards his car.
"Kevin, put me down! I can handle myself. And it's absolutely none of your business if I'm sick or not!" Anne was struggling to break free, but she was still furious that Kevin insisted on taking her to the hospital.
Kevin started to feel annoyed at how childish she was behaving. His impatience was written all over his face. He kept thinking about how immature it was for her to keep throwing tantrums.
"Anne, I swear, you better behave yourself or I will throw you to the ground!"
Looking down at her angry face, Kevin could not help but roar in a low voice. He wouldn't have cared about her if he wasn't worried about her health.
"Go on, then! Do it! Throw me to the ground!"
Anne snorted while looking unconvinced. She thought she'd rather be thrown to the ground by this man than be held in his arms, because the thought of him just holding Cherry made her feel sick.
"Damn it! If you want something bad to happen to the baby, you can give it a try and see if I would ever dare throw you down like you want!"
The damn woman didn't take his threat to heart at all. She really had a leopard's courage and became more and more daring.
When Anne heard the word 'baby', she froze all of a sudden. Although she hated Kevin's persistence, she felt a pain inside her now. She started getting really worried that there might have been something wrong with the baby, and that she was being apathetic about it. She thought that if she struggled even more, the pain she was feeling would get even worse.
She suddenly became silent and even though she was still angry, she stopped moving as if she wanted Kevin to let go of her. After all, the most important thing to her at that moment was the safety of her child.
Seeing her slowly calm down, Kevin looked at her indifferently and the look in his eyes softened.
"You can stop worrying now. I won't let anything happen to the baby."
After putting her down on the passenger's seat, Kevin drove away as if he had completely forgotten about Cherry's existence.
Watching the car being driven further away, Cherry started to feel vexed. She felt neglected that Kevin didn't even look at her before they drove away.
Now all she could think about was how she wanted something bad to happen to the baby inside Anne. If Anne lost the baby, she would really have no hold on Kevin anymore.
As the car drove on, the searing pain inside Anne's belly became stronger. Soon enough, her face was covered with cold sweat.
As the pain worsened, she became more terrified for the safety of her child. She was really afraid that she might lose the baby.
"Hurry up, Kevin!"
Ignoring the feeling of disgust she had for him, she caressed her belly and kept praying in her heart, hoping that no accident would happen to her baby.
"How are you feeling? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Is it still painful?" Kevin was looking at her worriedly. He was so anxious and he felt really sorry for her.
Watching her endure the pain made him feel a tinge of pain in his heart.
"I'm fine. I'm just really worried about the baby."
Anne didn't really care anymore about herself. All she could think about was the baby. She started feeling like she was the one to blame because she didn't act on it as soon as she felt something wrong.
"The baby will be fine. Don't worry."
Kevin noticed that she was in a state of panic already, so he stepped on the gas to speed up the car. While he was driving, he tried to offer some words of comfort.
When they arrived at the hospital, Kevin carried her straight to the emergency room. It helped that he already asked his assistant to arrange everything before they got to the hospital.
All the best doctors were already waiting for them. As soon as they saw Anne, they quickly examined her.
An hour later, Anne got sent to the ward. Her face was so pale but she had fallen fast asleep as soon as they set her on a hospital bed.
"How is she?" Kevin asked the doctor in a low voice so as not to wake Anne up while gazing upon her.
"Mr. Kevin, I assure you that there is nothing to worry about. She is just having preterm labor symptoms. It's not a big deal. She will be fine. She just needs rest," said one of the middle-aged doctors that attended to Anne.
"How about the baby? Is the baby alright? I'm sorry, I just can't help but feel worried." Kevin was obviously unhinged.
"The baby is alright but this young lady's body is still a little weak. Like I said, she just needs rest, and she has to make sure to take good care of herself from now on. Otherwise, an accident may occur at any given moment,"
