Attracted By My Ex-wife
Chapter 312 She Must Be Strong

Kevin could not help but wrap Anne tightly in his arms. "Anne, I'm as sad as you when Sally got hurt. For now, calm down, okay?"

Hearing his words, Anne, who was struggling, quieted down. Kevin was overjoyed to see that his solace was working so he continued, "Anne, Eddy and Sally want us to be together, remember? Have you forgotten?"

With her deep eyes, Anne looked coldly at Selma, who had just got up from the ground.

All this time, she endured all the humiliation from the Fu Family. However, she had gotten sick of it! She knew she had to go back to what she used to be for the sake of her children.

The corner of her mouth slowly lifted into a smirk, revealing her indifference. At the sight of it, Selma had a premonition. Sure enough, Anne turned to Kevin and said something which greatly surprised her. "Kevin, I want you to choose one of us. Either choose me and Sally, or choose your mother!"

Kevin was stunned. Never in his life did he think that Anne would make him choose.

With a disdainful smile, Anne tapped on his chest and explained, "Kevin, it's never my intention to make things difficult for you. I just can't live with the person who wants to hurt my daughter!"

Upon saying that, she shot Selma a cold look and then walked away.

Worried that something bad would happen to Anne, Emily followed her. Sam also followed suit.

Meanwhile, Kevin closed his eyes exasperatedly. Once he opened his eyes, he looked at Selma in the corridor with intense cold eyes.

"Kevin, I've thought everything through before doing this. Still, I felt that it was the right thing to do. I couldn't let anything happen to Eddy, even if it means sacrificing my own life!" Even though Selma's face was pale with guilt and culpability, she stepped forward and acted brave in front of Kevin.

His deep, dark eyes looked down at Selma. When he spoke, he looked at her with an obscure gaze and his tone was icy cold. "Mom, do you really think that you're helping? Just this morning, the doctor said that Eddy's condition is improving. But look what you did..."

As Selma heard this, her body froze and she subconsciously took a step back. Eddy was getting better, which meant the he could hold on for a few more years. They would have time to replace a suitable heart donor for him.

Perhaps, they could save Eddy without sacrificing Sally. There were so many wonders in the world anyway. If they spent a lot of money, they would definitely replace a donor for him. 'Then, what did I do just now?'

Selma's body fell heavily to the ground. Looking at the ceiling of the corridor, she unexpectedly burst into laughter. She almost killed her granddaughter, Sally, just now!

"Sally, it's all my fault. I was so stupid!" Tears of regret streamed down her face. She looked pitiful, but sadly, no one sympathized with her.

With so many people in the hospital, the news spread like wildfire. While Kevin was sitting in the corridor wearily, he suddenly received a call from his assistant.

As it turned out, the entertainment news reported what had happened. This could ruin AN Group's reputation and further affect the stock price which was directly related to the company's financial interests. Upon hearing this, Kevin shook his head with a mocking smile. But behind that smile was dejection and anguish.

Right now, he did not care about anything else other than his family.

Kevin ended the call abruptly without any instructions, which in turn made his assistant surprised. For a moment, the assistant stared blankly at the phone but he immediately dealt with the problem as usual. His job was to minimize the repercussions of the matter. Although he had done it before, he was surprised to replace the CEO's family in a huge mess.

Meanwhile, instead of going back to the Fu Family's house, Anne decided to take Sally to another house.

She was not a poor girl. In fact, she had her own financial resources. She could live on her own without relying on the Fu Family. Even if Kevin was no longer by her side, she could definitely support her child. Anne put her unconscious daughter on the bed. Gazing at Sally, she could not help but bite her lips tightly as tears streamed down her face. "Anne, calm down now. Look, Sally is fine," comforted Emily. The truth was, she felt sorry for her friend to have experienced this kind of suffering. Anne slowly closed her eyes. To Emily's surprise, she suddenly laughed sarcastically. The moment she opened her eyes, they seemed to have changed.

"I was wrong. This is all my fault. I liked Kevin so much that I was willing to endure humiliation for him. But now, I realized that my concession and cowardice would just hurt my children. From now on, I will never care about anyone again. Only when I'm strong can I protect my child. I won't ever allow anyone to bully us again!"

Whether it was Kevin, Selma, or Kim, Anne would never let them. If only she had enough power, no one would dare to bully her children.

Kim controlled her for two years. If only she had the power to fight him, would he still dare to manipulate her?

Not to mention, Simon was still in his hands. If only she was powerful, would Kim still have dared to do such thing?

"To be honest, I don't blame anyone. This is all my fault. I lost myself just to feel that so-called love!" Anne touched Sally's little face gently and continued, "From now on, I won't let this happen again. I will protect my children well on my own!"

Standing outside the door, Sam shook his head helplessly as he heard what Anne had said. She had changed. She was no longer the woman she used to be, but perhaps it was a good change. Tears welled up in Emily's eyes. She squatted down and hugged Anne comfortingly. How much suffering did Anne have to endure to obtain the happiness she deserved?

In the hospital, Selma came again with a food box in her hands.

Kevin was sitting at the corridor when she came, his eyes red and glassy like a sculpture.

He had been sitting there for a long time that it seemed that he had perished there and then. He had not eaten nor drunk since yesterday.

With her teeth clenched, Selma walked up to Kevin slowly and crouched down to get his attention. "Kevin, Eddy is getting better. Look at him. He's looking at you with his eyes wide open. You should eat something to regain your strength," she urged.

"Go away!" Kevin's voice was cold and emotionless. He no longer respected nor yielded to Selma.

Her body stiffened after she heard his words, and tears streamed down her face again. "Kevin, I really didn't know, I swear! I wasn't aware that Eddy's condition is getting better. I never expected that it would turn out like this. This is all my fault. Let me make up to you. Please don't be like this to me.

Anne may be gone, but Eddy needs you. What if you get sick? Who would take care of Eddy? Even not for me, but for Eddy, eat a little."

At that moment, the nurse, who was guarding Eddy's room, suddenly came out.

She saw a man in the corridor who was like a sculpture. He gave off an intimidating aura that it seemed as though he had a killing intent. The feeling was extremely frightening. When the nurse spoke, her voice trembled and it was so low it seemed that she was whispering, "Eddy said he wanted to see his mom. I don't know it it's convenient for you—"

"Fuck off!" shouted Selma. She turned around and glared at nurse. "Are you stupid? How can you work here? Get out of here, or I'll fire you!"

Stunned, the nurse looked at Selma and her tears fell uncontrollably on her face. She turned around and ran away, fearing that she would indeed be fired.

Kevin raised his head and looked at Eddy through the glass. On his son's face was a smile, and his eyes were full of hope and charm.

He just woke up and missed his mother!

Kevin immediately lowered his head and took out his phone in his pocket. He then dialed Sam's number hurriedly. "Sam, are you still with Anne? Please tell her that Eddy has woken up. He wants to see her right now.

I know she doesn't want to see me....

but Eddy misses her so much. She's the first thing he looked for the instant he woke up."

After hanging up the phone, he stood up and looked down at Selma coldly.

"Mom, Anne will come to see Eddy no matter how angry she is. I'm afraid she doesn't want to see you again. You'd better leave. Don't come here again."

With eyes wide open, Selma looked at him in disbelief. How could he talk to his own mother like that?

"Kevin, I'm your mother. Are you really going to do this to me?" She stood up hurriedly and clung on Kevin's arms.

Unfortunately, Kevin just pushed her away with no remorse. He clenched his hands that were hanging on either side of his body and then loosened them helplessly.

"Mom, I don't want to talk about the things that had happened in the past. It's not only you who made a huge mistake. I am also at fault here. But, do you realize how depressed I was during the past two years? When Anne came back, I finally felt happy. Even the gray sky in my heart became brighter when I finally saw her again. What's more, I found out that I have two more children. It was so exciting, but what happened now?

In my eyes, the company is nothing, so is my career. Nothing is more important than my family. Mom, as your son, I tried my best to respect and tolerate you, but look what you did in return. You destroyed my family single-handedly.

You know, you should be glad that you're my mother. Otherwise, you would never stand a chance against me. Heck, I doubt that you'd even be unscathed.

You can go back now. I don't want to see your face again. When Eddy learns that you almost killed his sister, he will not want to see you again either."

After Selma heard these words, her body was petrified in spot. She realized this was what Kevin truly thought about her. She had done so much for this family but she didn't get what she deserved.

It had become clear that Kevin loathed her with every inch.

How could it be possible?

"Kevin, how can you treat me like this? How can you do this to your own mother just for a woman?" Selma shook her head disapprovingly before she turned around and left.

Seeing this, Kevin heaved a heavy sigh. Did Selma think until now that all these were caused by Anne?

All of these must stop. In the past, he was complacent and lenient to them. From this moment on, he had to protect his family at all costs. He must ensure that nobody would ever hurt his children again, even his mother!

The only thing that mattered to him now was his family!

Inside the ward, Eddy lay on the bed while looking through the window with wide eyes. Although he could not hear a thing, he could tell from his father's and grandmother's expressions that something had happened.

If that was the case, what happened then?

On the other side, the effect of the drug had finally subsided. Slowly, Sally opened her drowsy eyes.

"Mom..." The instant she saw her mom, she burst into tears.

Feeling sorry for Sally, Anne wrapped her in her arms. "Sally, please don't cry. I'm here. I'm going to protect you. I won't let anyone hurt you again. I'll always be by your side, okay? Please don't cry," she said in a calm and comforting tone.

"Grandma... she..." Sally shivered at the memory in the operating room a while ago, her eyes filled with tears.

Anne closed her eyes and let herself drown in the pain. Surprisingly, not a single drop of tear escaped from her eyes. Tears only belonged to those who were weak, and she must be strong!

"Sally, please don't cry anymore. Mom feels sorry for you. I promise I won't let you get hurt in the future. This won't happen again."

Sally nodded and wiped her tears with her little hands. She looked like a homeless kitten as her face was tear-stained and messy from profuse crying. Looking at her precious child, Anne could not help but smile.

She gently wiped the remainder of Sally's tears with her hand and comforted her until the child stopped crying. Looking around, Sally suddenly said, "Mom, I miss my brother."

Anne fell stunned upon hearing her words. She frowned as she suddenly remembered something: Simon and Eddy!

Where on earth was that damn Kim hiding? How were they going to replace Simon? And lastly, how was Eddy in the hospital?☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
