"Mr. Kevin, are you sure you can leave Anne to me after she gives birth safely?"
Alan looked over at Kevin suspiciously. If he continued to protect Anne, then his sister's revenge would be impossible!
"You are eager to get even. I can understand. As soon as this baby is born, I will have nothing to do with this woman." Kevin gritted his teeth. How could she have been so merciless?
"Okay! I'll wait until she gives birth, just for your sake." Casting a pointed stare towards Anne, Alan turned around and left.
A deafening silence settled in the room. Anne had a sullen look on her face, as she gazed towards Kevin. She wondered if she should thank him.
"Kevin, don't you trust me? Do you really believe I killed Ruth?" with hopeful eyes, Anne questioned Kevin as she looked at his expressionless face.
"The evidence is irrefutable. Do you still want to deny it? How could you be so heartless?" He looked at her with a cold expression.
A sharp pain cut through her abdomen and her face scrunched up in an instant. She let out a painful moan, her forehead breaking into a sweat.
"What? You feel guilty now?"
Unaware of the pain she was in, Kevin droned on. He was growing angrier, now that she no longer defended herself.
"It hurts..." Her breathing grew heavier, as the pain shot up her belly like fire. She stumbled as she sat down on the bed, the intense aching making her dizzy.
As soon as he saw her tormented expression, Kevin's anger dissipated. He was quick to rush to her side, as he asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
"I think I’m going to have a baby..."
Anne could feel the baby moving in her belly, impatient to come out. Maybe she was also sad seeing her mother being wronged.
"What are you waiting for? Find the doctor!"
Turning back towards Cherry, Kevin roared in her face. His emotions were getting out of his control.
"Okay, I'll go!" Cherry was startled by his outburst. She quickly turned around and ran out to look for a doctor.
"Anne, how do you feel? Is it painful?" Kevin moved closer to Anne, rubbing her back.
Although he was still angry that she had killed Ruth, his heart crumpled at the sight of her suffering.
"You don't have to pretend to care about me. I'll give birth to the baby. Don't worry." As far as Anne knew, all Kevin cared about was the baby in her belly.
"Are you mad at me? Don’t speak like that."
He was aware that Anne was hurt by his words, but he only said them to ensure her safety. Even if the birth safely happened, he would still try to protect her. He would never let Alan hurt her even in the slightest.
"It hurts..."
The stabbing pain in her belly was growing worse. She couldn't help but cry out softly, her face twisting in torment.
Kevin's heart clenched. Looking at her suffer, he wished he could share her pain.
About half an hour later, a scream tore through the delivery room.
Kevin paced outside, his forehead creased in worry.
The delivery was taking so long, but the baby still hadn't been born. How much pain did that little woman have to suffer?
Cherry, on the other hand, was seated calmly. There was a malicious smile playing on her lips, every time she heard Anne’s painful cry.
However, when her eyes fell upon Kevin’s worried face, her dissatisfaction grew. He was still concerned about Anne in his heart.
"Have a rest. You have been standing there for a long time," Cherry slowly walked up to him and whispered, not being able to watch him be anxious anymore.
"No! I’m fine!" he coldly replied, his eyes not leaving the entrance to the delivery room.
His heart was wrenching at Anne's painful cry. How could he rest?
After a long time, Anne’s screams gradually faded away, but there was still no cries of a baby heard.
Kevin was growing impatient, and he couldn't wait anymore. He pounded on the door so hard that his knuckles turned red.
"Open the door. I want to go in!" It was torture for him waiting outside. He wanted to know how she was doing.
"Kevin, what are you doing? This is the delivery room. You can't just go in."
Cherry hurried to stop him, seeing his absurd behavior. ‘Why is he so worried about Anne?’
"Get out of my way!"
Kevin’s face darkened as he pushed her hands off of him.
