Having stayed by Kevin's side for such a long time, Cherry understood what he meant. He didn't believe her explanation.
"Kevin, I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry. I know I shouldn't have done that, but I'm really jealous. I'm a human being. I'm afraid that you will fall in love with Anne and abandon me. I'm sorry. I shouldn't be so selfish!"
Throwing herself into Kevin's arms, Cherry spoke in a hurry, fearing that he would change his opinion of her because of that matter.
With a displeased frown cutting through his forehead, Kevin pushed the woman away and replied in an indifferent tone,
"I don't want this kind of thing to happen again. She is pregnant with my child. Until the baby is born, I will never allow anything bad to happen to her. Do you understand?"
Cherry's actions had really disappointed Kevin that time, making him a little angry too.
"I know. I will never do such a stupid thing again. Please, don't be angry with me."
Feeling Kevin's indifference, Cherry panicked.
"Cherry, I can forgive you this time, but there will be no next time!"
Kevin still couldn't bring himself to scold her harshly. After all, he had always thought that she was the woman he loved.
"It won't happen again. I won't do anything to make you angry again."
Looking at him in surprise, Cherry wrapped his arms around him and smiled proudly. The fact that he was not angry with her for what had happened could only mean that she was much more important than Anne in his eyes.
"I have to go to the hospital. Ask the cook to make some tonic soup and send it there." Irritated, he lightly pushed Cherry away from his arms.
"Kevin, how is Anne now? Is she feeling better?"
Seeing his gloomy face, Cherry asked that question cautiously. She really hoped to hear him say that Anne was in a bad condition.
"She is fine now!"
After pronouncing those words with indifference, Kevin turned around and left straight away without looking back.
Staring at his receding figure with malice in her beautiful eyes, Cherry clenched her fists.
'How lucky Anne is! Nothing happened to her!'
Soon, Kevin arrived at the ward where Anne was hospitalized. Looking at her pale face while she was sleeping on the bed, he felt a little sorry for her.
He gently smoothed the hair on her forehead with his slender fingers. Even though he was careful, Anne felt his touch.
She slowly opened her eyes and focused them on Kevin's handsome face. For a moment, her brain was totally absent.
"Kevin, why are you here?" She was surprised by his presence. Hadn't he left? Why was he still there?
"I am here for you!"
He let out those words in a casual but serious tone.
Staring at him in shock, she felt her heart starting to beat wildly after hearing his words.
"Kevin, in fact, I don't need anyone to take care of me. You are so busy with your work, so you don't need to worry about it. I can protect the baby in my belly."
As she realized that Kevin's behavior might be only caused by his worry for the baby's well-being, she felt a wave of disappointment wash over her.
But after all that time, she had learned to disguise her emotions. Kevin didn't even notice the disillusion in her eyes.
"Anne!"
He glared at her angrily with his piercing dark eyes. 'This damn woman always talks about the baby. I haven't even mentioned it!'
"What is it? Did I say something wrong?"
Anne asked confused, after sensing the sudden anger in Kevin's voice and seeing the gloominess on his handsome face.
She recalled quickly her words, and it seemed to her that she didn't say anything wrong. What happened to that man? Why did he get so angry all of a sudden?
"How dare you say the word 'baby' again?" 'Damn it! She doesn't know what was wrong.
Good, very good! This woman is really heartless.'
"……"
She looked at Kevin in confusion. What happened to him? Could that man be more capricious?
"I thought you were worried about the baby, so..."
Trying to explain herself, Anne kept her voice low. She didn't want Kevin's growing anger to affect her in any way.
"You didn't understand what I just said. Anne, are you an idiot? Do you really think I'm just worried about the baby?"
'Damn this woman! How can't she see that I care about her?'
Anne's confusion turned quickly into shock as she tried to make out the meaning of Kevin's words. Did he indirectly tell her that he cared about her?
But her astonishment only lasted a few seconds. She was well aware that Kevin hated her too much to be able to care about her.
"Kevin, it's getting late. I want to get some rest."
