Chapter 468 Miscarriage
All the reporters looked at Cherry with expectant eyes.
"Actually, it was a trick!" Cherry smiled and continued, "Kim was a criminal; he concealed his true Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
identity well. But the man was in love with Anne. The police decided to use his weakness. They asked
Anne to express her love to lure him.
However, Kim was smarter and more cunning than they had expected. He took up a new identity as
Cory and fooled everyone."
Cherry explained everything in detail. The reporters listened to the story with rapt attention. They didn't
think that there would be another side to the story.
Some of them shook their heads in disbelief.
If Cherry was indeed telling the truth, Anne had done a lot to catch the criminal. She had risked her
reputation to help the police.
The woman had done an admirable job and set an example for others. Calling her a slut was a
disgrace to womanhood.
The crowd erupted with gasps and murmurs as they began discussing the new piece of information.
"Miss Kristine, are you telling the truth, or is it an attempt to flatter Mr. Kevin? He is a big shot in the
entertainment industry. Are you pressurized to please him by saving his wife's reputation?"
a reporter questioned, trying to create a controversy.
Kristine looked at the reporter and smiled. "If you don't believe my words, you can very well ask the
police. Perjury is a crime; you can sue me for it."
Her boldness surprised everyone. There was not a trace of hesitation or worry in her voice.
Anne and Kevin watched everything from a distance. A contented smile stretched across their lips.
Cherry had finished doing her task; things would happen on their own accord now. Anne would regain
her lost reputation.
"Well, let's go back." Now that the truth had come to light, the reporters would look for them now. Their
suspicions might intensify if Anne readily accepted the interview. However, both Kevin and Anne
wished for them to find the truth on their own rather than explaining themselves.
Cherry had spoken the truth. The reporters would only find evidence supporting her statement.
Therefore, neither of them was afraid of the investigation.
Kevin nodded and walked out of the hall. He carefully held Anne's arms. His tall figure blocked any
view that might notice Anne. In the end, they successfully left the place without anyone's notice.
After returning home, Anne browsed the internet. As expected, the information about her had spread
like a wildfire. She had become the talk of the people.
Satisfied with the response, Anne put the phone aside. Time would prove the truth and heal all wounds.
The next few days, reporters crowded at the Fu Family's residence. However, they had no choice but to
wait at the door.
Everyone in the house, including Selma, ignored the reporters and refused to answer their questions.
The other reporters who had investigated the truth went to the police station to interview the director.
Kevin had already talked to him. Since the director had caught Kim, he was about to receive a
promotion and a transfer to a different city. The man owed everything to Kevin and was ready to help
him.
The director confirmed the truth to the reporters. He even showed the evidence to prove Anne's
innocence, so they had no choice but to believe him.
The news about Anne had become the hottest topic on the internet. People's opinions of her gradually
changed with time, and she finally regained her reputation.
The people who once cursed and told her that she didn't deserve to be with Kevin began showering her
with compliments and wishes after knowing what she had done for her husband.
Selma had been hesitant to attend parties and social gatherings in the past. However, after finding the
truth, the ladies envied her for having a courageous daughter-in-law. Selma was proud of Anne and
greeted her with a smile every time she saw her.
Eddy came back home from school and told Anne that his friends were jealous of him for having a cool
mother. She was glad that everything was back to normal.
The Fu Family held a powerful position in A City. Although Kevin and Selma knew the truth, they
couldn't shut the mouths of the people complaining about her. However, everyone understood Anne
now. She was happy that her family and children wouldn't be affected by the problems anymore.
Meanwhile, people were still raving about Kristine's spectacular outfit at the award ceremony. They
were all the more surprised to find out that Anne had designed it. They praised her talent and
encouraged her to design more outfits. A lot of people suggested her to start her clothing line.
Emily and Rose had nothing to do, so they came to the Fu Family's house to hang out with Anne.
"Anne, everyone's been apologizing to you after finding out the truth. They have been asking you to
design more clothes as well. Everything is finally falling into place. Now is the perfect time to start your
company. When are you planning to open it?" Emily asked as she continued to peel the orange.
Anne put down the fashion magazine on the table and smiled at her. "Two days later!"
The collaboration of the LF Group had been going well without a hitch. Reopening the company
required proper planning. Therefore, Kevin had asked her to wait for two days.
"I want to join your company!" Rose finally spoke. "I have nothing to do at home. Why don't I work in
your company?"
Anne's eyes widened; she nodded excitedly. "That would be great. I'm glad to have you by my side."
Although they didn't get along with each other in the past, Anne admired Rose's talent. She was an
incredible designer. With her insights and talent, the two could create amazing designs and earn an
unmatchable position in the industry.
"Even I want to join your company after I give birth to the baby,"
Emily chimed in.
Anne and Rose glanced at each other and burst into laughter.
Emily had been pregnant for four months. The baby bump had grown bigger. Sam treated her like a
fragile doll, taking extra care of her. Once she gave birth to the baby, Sam wouldn't let her work and
exhaust herself.
Moreover, many patients were admitted to Sam's hospital. Although he wasn't as wealthy and
successful as Kevin, he was still a talented man. He didn't need Emily to support him financially.
It would at least take two or three years for Emily to start working again.
"No. We can't trouble Sam's treasure. He will get mad at us for bothering his dear wife," Rose teased.
Emily's face reddened with embarrassment. She glared at Rose, making her laugh harder.
The loud ringing of Anne's phone interrupted their conversation. A frown lined her forehead as she
looked at the name on the screen.
The joyful atmosphere suddenly disappeared. Rose and Emily looked at Anne in confusion. She took a
deep breath before answering the call. "Hello!"
"Anne, we failed to keep the baby. Bob's mother had a miscarriage!" Bob's father choked between his
words.
The blood on Anne's face drained in an instant. She anxiously stood up. "What? How did this happen?
She seemed fine. How did she lose the baby?"
When Bob's mother just got pregnant, the couple were reluctant to receive Anne and Kevin's help. But
Anne and Kevin still cared for them. They had been looking after her. The woman was in good health
even after getting discharged from the hospital. There was no logical reason behind the miscarriage,
for both the mother and the fetus were in good condition.
Bob's father sniffed loudly. "This house is filled with memories of Bob. My wife got upset after returning
home -- she couldn't stop thinking about him. Although she was pregnant, the fact that she had lost her
son continued to torment her. She stopped eating and began losing weight. The baby didn't get enough
nutrition, so it died in the womb."
Anne closed her eyes and sighed.
She had believed that Bob's parents would be happy again with the coming of the new baby after Bob's
death. The child would have been a beacon that lighted up their dark world. However, the little one had
died even before they could catch a glimpse of him. No one expected this to happen.
Bob's mother had lost two children in succession. She must be heartbroken.
"How is she now?" Anne croaked.
Bob's parents were strong people. They would never call her unless the problem was impossible for
them to handle. She knew that they needed her!
The pain and guilt of Bob's death continued to haunt Anne. She would perhaps blame herself until her
last breath. Regardless of how the boy died, both Anne and Kevin couldn't escape from their
responsibilities.
She would do her best to help Bob's parents.
"She couldn't accept the fact that the baby is gone. She is shattered," Bob's father said in a weak voice.
Anne could tell that he, too, was devastated.
The tone of his voice had answered all her questions.
When Bob died, his mother managed to suppress all her emotions. However, losing her second child
was a huge blow. She couldn't control herself.
"What can we do for you?" asked Anne.
After a long pause, Bob's father spoke again. "You haven't transplanted Bob's heart into Eddy's body,
have you?"
The frown on Anne's forehead deepened. "Eddy's body is stable now; he can hold on for a few years.
Moreover, he is too young for the surgery -- his body will not cope with it."
"Anne, will you do me a favor? Can you tell Bob's mother that our son's heart is in Eddy's body now?
She would be happy to find that her son still exists in this world in a different form." He whimpered.
Anne's lungs constricted. She knew that this was the only way to help Bob's mother.
Besides, their compensation wouldn't make up for what they had suffered.
"Don't worry. Please give me your address. I'll bring Eddy to your place this afternoon," Anne assured.
Bob's father gave her the address. She quickly noted it down and hung up the call after comforting him.
Rose and Emily looked at each other in silence. Neither of them had thought that such a thing would
happen.
"Do you really want to take Eddy there?" Emily asked skeptically.
Bob's mother would be in a vulnerable state now. No one could predict how she might react after
seeing Eddy.
If the woman hated Eddy, she wouldn't hesitate to harm him.
Eddy was the apple of their eyes. They couldn't let anything happen to him.
After a moment's silence, Anne nodded. "I have to take him there. Eddy feels responsible since he has
taken Bob's heart."
Even though Eddy wasn't responsible for the boy's death, Bob had given him the hope to live. Eddy felt
the need to do something for Bob's parents.
If Anne didn't take him to their house, Eddy would blame her when he found the truth.
She knew her child best and tried to fulfill all his needs.
Rose and Emily nodded in understanding. Perhaps that was all they could do now.
Anne called Kevin to inform the news. Kevin was quiet at first but later agreed to her plan.
He wanted to go with them to make sure Eddy was safe. However, Anne assured him that Bob's father
was a clearheaded man and that he would never let his wife harm Eddy.
Kevin seemed convinced; therefore, he continued with his work.
At noon, Anne took Eddy home and informed him about the unfortunate incident. As expected, he told
her that he wanted to see Bob's mother. Anne's heart swelled with pride; she was happy that her son
cared for other people.
However, her stomach clenched with anticipation. For some reason, she felt that this issue was hard to
solve. But regardless of what might happen, Anne had to see Bob's mother. That was all they could for
the mourning parents.
