Attracted By My Ex-wife
Chapter 226 I Want To Take Eddy Away

Spring was approaching, and there wouldn't be too many hospitals filled with vitality. Due to the change of the season, life unexpectedly bloomed. And when observed from afar, the view was refreshing enough to make people relax.

However, Anne wasn't into it.

She wore a simple windbreaker, and her slightly curly hair was tied up into a ponytail. Her eyes were neither cold nor warm. In fact, any trace of emotions in her eyes seemed to have vanished.

"Anne, when I came here just now, I saw Rose come around."

When Mark arrived at the hospital, he saw Anne and remembered that Rose also came to the hospital. Anxiety enveloped him as he told her what he had seen.

But when Sam saw this scene, he immediately paused and said, "Anne, Eddy just woke up."

"Okay, I'll go and have a look."

Anne immediately proceeded to walk over to the ward.

Mark, on the other hand, wasn't very familiar with Sam, but he felt strange when he was suddenly interrupted because he knew that she knew Sam well. But he always suspected, since then, that he purposely and deliberately changed the topic.

"Why don't you allow me to tell her?" Mark straightforwardly asked.

To which Sam simply replied, "No need. She probably knows already. Why do you have to stir trouble for others?"

"I see."

Looking at her who was gradually disappearing from his sight, he couldn't help but imagine the smile on Rose's face. For some reason, she had a different vibe from the first time they met.

Anne managed to walk over to the corner and arrived at the spot where she could see Rose with the report on hand.

They weren't friends in the first place, but now it seemed that they were actual enemies.

Selma followed Rose, fearing that something might happen to her.

"Anne, you're not allowed to get close to Eddy now that Rose is pregnant," she said.

"Eddy is my child. I won't give up and simply back away." Anne didn't want to interact too much with her. She wouldn't listen to anyone no matter what they said. It was better to deny it from the get-go. "Mom, don't be mad. Let's take some time to think about it." Rose patted Selma's back to calm her down.

"You are so considerate. Okay, let me worry about what I need to prepare."

When Selma looked at Rose, she resembled so much like a kind and loving mother. Anne, on the other hand, had a stoic expression all through it.

When Selma walked over, Anne noticed that the delicate and pitiful Rose looked at her with a hint of contempt.

Sure enough, some people would change, and Anne felt that there wasn't anything strange about it.

This was like another Cherry, except she was no longer the Anne she used to be.

"Anne, are you okay?" Mark rushed over first, but he almost bumped into Rose, which provoked Selma to react violently.

"Are you blind? What if you hurt someone for being too reckless?"

The moment Rose saw him, her face slowly softened and she once again comforted her mother with a faint voice, "Mom, I'm fine. He didn't mean to do that. He was just worried about Anne."

These words, however, didn't help to calm her down, and instead fueled her anger even further. "Humph! She is so unfaithful anyway. Not only did she latch onto Kevin, she also had an affair with another man."

As always, she despised Anne.

"Mom, you can go back now. I'll wait for the result. I've already checked into another hospital. You don't have to worry about it. Also, grandpa isn't feeling well recently, so you'd better be there to take care of him."

"You are truly considerate. Fine, I'll go now. Call me if anything happens."

"Okay," Rose replied and gave her a warm smile.

While she was waiting, she saw Mark. A strange, sudden rush of emotion flashed through her being. Thinking of his attitude towards Anne today, she felt extremely unhappy.

"Mr. Mark," she called as she walked over to Mark.

He turned around and politely smiled at her. "Miss Rose, it's been a long time."

"Are you familiar with Anne?" she asked tentatively, not wasting any of her precious time.

At the mention of Anne, his voice suddenly became gentler. "Yes, she's my friend."

"Oh, I see. Mr. Mark, didn't you say that we were friends as well?" She felt a slight discomfort recalling the moment that he almost knocked her down.

"You mean what happened earlier today? I was too anxious at that time and I almost ended up hurting you. I'm so sorry." He genuinely felt sorry.

But Rose could tell that the nature of relationship between him and Anne was somehow more than what he claimed it to be.

Obviously, he cared more about Anne. While to Rose, he always seemed polite and kinder when she was around.

"Anne is fortunate to have a friend like you." She tried to hide her disenchantment with a facade of being nice.

"I have something else to do for now, Miss Rose."

Mark walked over towards Eddy's ward almost immediately. Looking back, he saw Rose being lost in her own thoughts.

A burst of laughter came from the child's ward.

The door was closed, but when he opened it, he saw Eddy smiling together with his pair of bright, lively eyes.

"It seems that Eddy has recovered well," he said.

Anne forced a smile.

She didn't know what to do now. As a matter of fact, she wanted to take Eddy away, but she was afraid that she couldn't defeat the Fu Family on her own. Most importantly, Eddy would still need follow up treatments for him to fully recover.

"Yes," Anne said while she seemed to be spacing out.

Knowing that she was not in the right mood, Mark didn't bother to interrupt her exchanges with Eddy. He instead sat aside and simply observed them.

It was Anne who broke the silence first.

"Mark, I have something to ask you." The serious look on her face aroused his interest. It was the first time that he had seen her this serious and cautious. "About Eddy?"

With a barely visible smile on his face, Mark thought of her words' actual intention.

"Yes, I want to take Eddy away now that we know Rose is pregnant. Although the Fu Family prefers to have a male child, I don't want Eddy to live in a luxurious cage alone. Kevin's mother likes Rose. Once he child is born, my own child will be isolated from the rest. I'd rather my child not be involved in the family's affairs. I owe it to him to have at least a normal and healthy childhood." When Anne spoke, it was obvious from the look in her eyes how she mustered up her courage and determination. At first, he was worried, but he eventually accepted her idea. After all, he believed that she gave this a lot of thought, and that it wasn't a decision she made out of impulse.

However, it also meant that she would suffer more in the future. "Did you really think this through?"

"I've already made up my mind. Now that I'm fine, I'll replace another way to treat Eddy."

Anne looked down below. Back then, the main reason she married Kevin was that he had a rare and unique blood type. Only a few people could give him a child, unlike her who had a lot of choices. For now, she didn't want to rely on others' support.

She even had completely given up on Kevin. When she thought of him, she couldn't help but hate him even more.

"Then I'll help you. I'll take you out of here first, and then I'll contact a foreign hospital. Because Kevin is too powerful for us to deal with, the only person I can think of who can probably match him is lan." Mark quickly laid out a plan.

"Okay, tell lan. I will definitely thank him if he's willing to help us."

However, Mark smiled and said, "Anne, don't you know that the most important thing for a man like lan is love? Even if all the forces in the world will unite together against him, the last thing he'll do is refuse when you ask for his help, especially when it comes to Kevin."

When Mark assured her, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes. But he was a smart person. He had an answer from the very beginning. He was just naturally calm and stoic, and used to putting up a facade of ignorance.

His occasional feelings for Anne paled in comparison to lan's love for her.

He was a gentle man. He didn't like taking anything to the extreme, but in the situations like this, he knew only the stronger one could protect her.

Therefore, he was willing to quit, not because he thought he didn't try his best, but because he could basically see through everything at a glance. And it just wasn't him who could effectively protect her. "Okay."

She didn't feel any sort of embarrassment at all. There were many ways to repay a person. Either way, they had a long journey ahead.

"Although I can't help you a lot, you can hand over the rest of the work to me after you take Eddy away," Mark firmly said.

Although he knew they were only destined to be friends, he still cherished their relationship.

"Then let's start to prepare now. The Fu Family has just known that Rose is pregnant, so they will most likely lighten their vigilance here. I will take Eddy abroad first." "Don't rush. Ian has something urgent to deal with recently. I'm afraid he won't be back until a week later. Let's wait and see. Otherwise, it will be troublesome." Anne nodded and thought it was reasonable.

Meanwhile, in the Fu Family's house.

Every room was empty and comfortable. They were worried that Rose would fall down, so they deliberately got rid of obstacles from the inside and outside of the house.

The floor was covered with a soft blanket. Rose leaned against the sofa and joyfully rubbed her belly as if to protect it from harm.

More than a dozen servants were arranged in two rows for her to order around. At this point, she felt a little uncomfortable, and said, "Don't just stand in front of me. You can go on with your own business." "But our business is to take care of you."

Rose didn't have much of a choice but to hesitantly give up.

Meanwhile, Selma heard someone talking from the other side of the room. She walked over and whispered, "Rose, I just heard you express some complaints. Did these people make you angry?"

"No, I just needed some space. I want to have less people following me around," Rose honestly replied.

"It doesn't matter, Rose. I want to ask you, can you tolerate it and just let it go for now, for the baby's sake? After all, the baby in your womb is the child of the Fu Family."

Rose's mood gradually changed as soon as she was assured of Selma's words. She painted a faint but awkward smile on her face and said, "Okay."

"Well, then, that's good. I have something else to do now. Again, please take good care of yourself for the baby's sake," Selma gently reminded her.

Although Rose agreed, the discomfort she was feeling didn't entirely go away. Because she knew that although Selma was usually good to her, it wasn't actually for her but for the child.

If she wasn't pregnant, would she still have what she had today?

She looked out of the window to ponder, and focused on the unknown and uncertainty of the land beyond the horizon.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
