Attracted By My Ex-wife
Chapter 296 On The Verge Of Death

"It's impossible!" The doctor had years of experience, but he knew in an instant that it was impossible to fulfill Kim's request to save both the woman and her child.

But Kim did not want to accept any refusal. He pulled the pistol up and pointed it at the doctor again. "Only when they are alive can you live."

At that moment, Anne's condition was critical. Her blood pressure was dropping at a fast speed. The doctor was so anxious that he was breaking a cold sweat. He was afraid that something bad would happen to the patient.

At his side was a female doctor in charge of Anne's C-section. Another male doctor was there, who was mainly responsible for stabilizing the patient's blood pressure.

However, Anne was still too weak. She was long-overdue that she no longer had the strength to hold on.

Meanwhile, Kim paced outside the door back and forth. Despite his agitation, his face was expressionless. He wanted Anne to live.

At the same time, he knew that if something bad happened to the baby, it would be equivalent to killing her. Although she was just a hostage, he cared about her psyche.

Five hours later, a newborn's loud cry could be heard in the delivery room. Breathing a sigh of relief, one of the doctors came out and reported the current situation, "The operation was a success, but the woman's body is still too weak. She's currently receiving a blood transfusion and should wake up after a while."

"Got it."

Kim then walked into the room and saw Anne lying on the bed. She seemed to be dehydrated as her lips were pale and her hair lost its luster.

He touched her forehead and was about to wipe the cold sweat off her forehead. But before doing so, he took a deep breath and withdrew his hand.

He did not like the feeling that his heart was gradually changing.

Anne's body seemed to be in endless pain. It was as though she was in a swamp, sinking deeper and deeper yet unable to pull herself out.

She felt that her world was in complete darkness. The pain was like a shadow, always following her wherever she went. For a moment, she thought she was dead.

It confused her that her consciousness was clear. Could it be that her child, because of her negligence, was not able to come into the world?

Two hours later, Anne finally opened her eyes. The instant she did so, her eyes felt heavy and dull.

Upon confirming several times that she was indeed alive, she felt relieved. But her child...

Fortunately, before she could even sink into despair, she heard a baby's cry.

The loud cry pulled her back to reality. Her child was alive!

She wanted to turn her head to take a look at her baby, but she was too tired to do so. Even blinking her eyes seemed to take a toll on her.

At that moment, she did not notice that there was a pair of eyes gazing at her.

"Your baby is fine." Kim picked a baby up from her side.

Realizing what he was about to do, the first thing that came into Anne's mind was fear and panic.

"Don't touch my baby!" She did not think that a ruthless devil like him would treat her child well.

Even though she was wary of him, Kim remained calm. "Don't worry. I won't hurt him," he said in a cold tone.

"Hold him gently. It's a newborn baby, easy to get hurt." Anne looked weak, very different from before the child was born.

Kim hated it when others ordered him. But this time, he obeyed as he was told.

With his help, Anne was finally able to see her baby's face. The baby was too young to determine who he looked like, but he looked exactly like Eddy when he was born. "It's a pigeon pair," said Kim.

Anne was ecstatic. With a smile on her face, she replied, "I've always dreamt of having a daughter, but this is better."

Just as she finished speaking, she felt too tired and sleepy. Slowly, her eyes closed spontaneously.

Upon seeing that she fell asleep again, Kim left the room wearing an inexplicable expression on his face.

In the old town.

There was not a single star in the sky, making the night seem darker than usual. Although the construction of the place was done, Kevin had not sold this yet. He still had to ask Anne. In the big town, only a few lights were on. Although faint, they helped illuminate the desolate place.

Kevin's eyes were full of affection as he gazed at the place where Anne used to live.

It had been two weeks since she disappeared, yet there was still no trace of her anywhere. He closed his eyes, letting worry and loneliness engulf him in silence.

"Kevin, don't give up. There will be a clue about her whereabouts soon," comforted Sam while patting him on the shoulder.

"I won't give up until I replace her. It's just that she's due to give birth these days. I'm worried that something bad is going to happen to Anne and the baby."

Kevin pressed the table with his hand. The feeling of helplessness tingled every nerve of his.

"Don't worry or be discouraged, okay? That most important thing right now is to replace her no matter what."

"I know." Kevin's lonely voice echoed into the gloomy night.

It did not matter how desperate the night was. Everything would start over in the morning anyway.

Inside his office, Kevin was still wearing a cold face. The sunshine outside did not seem to warm him at all. It was as though nothing else could warm him up except Anne. "Kevin, Ryan's body was found floating on the sea," said Sam anxiously as soon as he came in.

The two felt worried upon receiving the news of Ryan's untimely death. It must be Kim who killed him. What bothered them most was that they still had no idea where Anne was. Despite that, Kevin had to put on a brave face regardless of what was happening. "Where was he found?"

"Well, because the current, location where he was found must be different from where he died. Fortunately, we can trace it back and replace some clues. I've already told the search commission replied Sam in a calm and reassuring tone.

it,"

Even so, the atmosphere was still tense.

There was a sudden gust of wind on the sea, and the island seemed safe and sound. The structure of the bay was like a natural safe haven, but the island was very close to the storm. Standing beside the glass wall, Anne quietly gazed at the strong wind outside.

"I like it here because of the unique terrain. Everywhere else is in chaos, while here is peaceful."

His voice startled Anne. Somehow, he managed to creep behind her.

"Kim, I know you want to use me to get the AN Group, but in the end, it may not turn out as you wish. Why don't you negotiate with Kevin instead? It's not impossible for you to get your company on track," said Anne slowly yet straightforwardly.

Her expression was calm. She must not have realized that Kim had been gazing at her all this time. Suddenly, a mocking smile appeared on Kim's lips. "Why? Do you think I'm not capable enough to run a company?"

His voice was so cold that it reminded Anne of the eternal glacier.

"It's not that. But since you have the ability to run a company, why don't you just defend what you have? Is it interesting to destroy what others have? You don't realize it but you're the same as your father. You only care about yourself and make everyone else suffer."

Upon saying that, Anne lifted his gaze, only to see Kim's eyes fill with anger.

"Shut up!" Kim was stunned. Nobody had told him that before.

Perhaps because nobody dared to say that. Or maybe, different people had different stands. The people around him had always been obedient to him when in fact, they just wanted to live. Everybody knew that Kim had extraordinary means to make sure whatever he wanted would fall into place. Everyone feared him for this. Although he had never killed anyone with his own hands, he was excellent at scheming. "Now that you're here, don't you dare try to escape again. If you do so, your two children will die."

As Anne faced the vast sea outside, her lips curled into a sneer. "Do you think I can do that now? Don't worry, I won't run away."

She was telling the truth. Now that she just gave birth to twins, there was no way she could escape. Escaping was a matter that needed planning and careful consideration.

"That's good then. I am never a kind person. If you dare to leave, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Are there times when you are not ruthless?" asked Anne with a hint of sarcasm.

Kim stopped for a few seconds upon hearing her question and then left.

Silence reigned again. Although Anne looked calm, her heart was desolate. She had no idea when she would be able to meet Kevin again.

The night was cold and bleak, but she must remain unfazed. She had to hold on no matter what.

Outside the villa, large waves crashed the shore from time to time. It looked dangerous and wild to look at. But Kim was currently on a reef fearlessly. It was as though he was integrating himself with the lonely reef.

"Boss, Anne is becoming more obedient recently. She doesn't go on a hunger strike anymore. She's almost recovered," reported the man who was in charge of monitoring Anne.

"That's good. As for Kevin, don't let Anne show up first. I've thought of a better idea. If Kevin loses Anne, he will lose the motivation to continue. We will watch as he slowly stumbles. Besides, it's interesting to see AN Group fall down."

"Yes, sir."

The business and political exchange meeting would be held in A City soon.

Whether they were business celebrities or important politicians, they would surely participate. Business people could take advantage of this opportunity to get more opportunities. Moreover, politicians had to see if there was anything wrong in their jurisdictions.

Kim would never miss such a meeting.

In his spacious living room, he held the newspaper with his slender fingers. Seeing the news regarding the upcoming meeting, he said, "It seems that we have to go out again. Tell Anne that I'll take her with

me."

"Why? It's been two years, but you haven't released any news about her. Why do you want to take her out now?"

As Kim heard this, his eyes narrowed. He himself could not tell the reason why he let Anne stay here for as long as two years. Perhaps because of her attitude towards her children that changed him and made him jealous.

"I thought Kevin would be depressed. I didn't expect that nothing would happen to the AN Group. Since I'm holding Kevin's weakness as a hostage, I sincerely hoped that he would be defeated. Don't you think so?" asked Kim in an icy cold tone as he lifted his gaze.

His temperament scared his assistant, who did not dare say anything.000000
