Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 43 He Didn't Believe Her

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. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"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!

"Anne, you have a fever!"

Raising her hand to touch Anne's hot arm, Emily looked up at Sam and asked, "What should we do? We'd better go to see a doctor as soon as possible."

"I am a doctor." With a frown creasing his forehead, Sam picked Anne up and headed to the ward before she fainted.

In the ward, Anne woke up after lying in bed for a day.

She didn't know how long she had slept. She only knew that it was noon. She still remembered that the operation was over at night. Now the sun was so bright that it had to be daytime.

The dizziness hadn't vanished yet. She looked up at the white ceiling and smelled disinfectant in the air.

She knew she was still in the hospital.

Her hands and feet were numb, and there was a drip on her hand. She could feel a slight tingle where the needle had pricked her skin.

She wanted to get up but didn't have any strength at all. A delicate breeze blew through the half-open window, raising a corner of the white curtain.

She turned her head and looked out of the window, where she could see an ancient camphor tree.

Several old people were sitting in wheelchairs under the tree, talking and laughing happily.

Watching their smiles, she laughed too.

"What are you laughing at?"

As soon as he entered the room, Sam saw Anne's lips curl in a smile, and his frown softened a little.

Seeing that it was him, Anne shook her head. "Nothing. Am I in your hospital?"

Sam was wearing a white gown and had an intravenous drip changed for her. When did she arrive to the Feng Family's hospital? she wondered.

"Yes." He handled the drip carefully. "How are you feeling now? Better?"

Anne nodded. "Yes, I just feel a little dizzy."

"That's because you have slept for too long," Sam explained patiently. "You've slept for more than ten hours since yesterday."

"Really?" Anne's lips parted feebly. "Would you please help me sit up?"

"Are you hungry?" After Sam adjusted the bed for her, she sat up.

She shook her head. "I'm not hungry."

Even though she hadn't eaten for two days, she didn't feel hungry at all. Ruth's face suddenly flashed through her mind. "How is Ruth? How is she doing?"

Sam lowered his head and poured some water for Anne, taking his time before answering her question.

"Still the same. She is temporarily stable. But I don't think it's possible for her to wake up."

Even though Sam didn't tell her the whole truth, Anne knew what was going on. If Ruth's coma lasted for too long, she wouldn't wake up so easily.

Noticing Anne's silence, Sam handed her the water and added, "Don't think about it. You are very weak now. You must rest for a while."

"I know my body." She smiled faintly. "By the way, where is Emily? Why haven't I seen her?"

"She was afraid you'd be hungry when you'd wake up, so she went to buy some food for you."

Emily was a really good friend. Anne couldn't imagine what it would be like without her support in that difficult time of her life.

"It's very kind of her."

Anne lowered her gaze, and a trace of sadness appeared on her dainty face.

Seeing her sorrow, Sam felt deeply uncomfortable.

In the office on the top floor of the AN Tower, Kevin was sitting and staring at the pile of documents in front of him. He hadn't moved for a long time.

"What are you thinking about?"

Roy Luo had been knocking at the door for a while now, but no sound was coming from inside. After making sure that there was someone inside, he pushed the door open.

Kevin raised his gaze and, seeing the man, he asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

Roy Luo was a good friend of Kevin's. They grew up together and had a strong bond. Sometimes they went out for drinks or leisure activities, such as swimming.

Undoubtedly, Roy Luo was there now because he heard about what had happened to Anne.

The accident had been on the news since yesterday, so everyone must have heard of it.

"I am here to see you!" Roy Luo took a seat on the sofa casually. Seeing the pile of documents in front of Kevin, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? Are you still worried about my sister-in-law?"

He knew that Kevin didn't like Anne, or worse, hated her. …… But he would still call her sister-in-law, a respectful term used for the wife of one's buddy. After all, it was a fact, even if Kevin was unwilling to admit it.

"Who allowed you to call her sister-in-law?"

Hearing Roy Luo mention Anne got Kevin furious. Because of her, he hadn't dealt with the company's matters recently. He was not in the mood to take care of any of them.

"Okay, I won't call her sister-in-law. Honestly speaking, you don't really believe that what happened to Ruth has something to do with Anne, do you?"

Kevin raised his head and narrowed his eyes, grasping that there was a hidden meaning in Roy Luo's words. "What do you mean?"
