Attracted By My Ex-wife
Chapter 396 A Blessing In Disguise

In the office, the two tall figures collapsed to the side. They were Peter and Kim.

They did not do anything. But when they saw Anne brush with death, they seemed to have spent all their strength worrying about her safety.

Kim closed his eyes. He might have looked calm, but in his heart, he was afraid. He had stayed in the underworld for years, doing what he was good at: killing and setting things on fire. As a matter of fact, he himself had brushed with death a countless times. Even so, he never felt afraid until now. Seeing at Anne like that, he realized what fear looked like.

Anne was his beloved woman. What was the point of his life if something bad had happened to her?

With his head lowered, he looked at his phone and slowly dialed Anne's number. As he was about to click the dial key, he heaved a sigh and impatiently threw his phone aside.

Peter saw this and his eyes turned cold. "Kim, I'm aware that I can't do anything to stop you. But since you love Anne so much, you should have protected her. You shouldn't have let such a dangerous situation happen!"

Kim still kept his head down and was silent for a while. To be honest, he felt remorseful. He should have called Anne earlier and told her that she should protect herself no matter what!

After seeing such a perilous situation, Kim was scared out of his wits!

He stood up and walked out of the office with a sigh. Seeing this, Peter raised his eyebrows and averted his gaze.

'Anne, I know that you're willing to risk everything when you love someone. Will you regret what you've done once the medicine wears off your system and you replace out the truth?

Peter closed his eyes, a sneer at the corners of his mouth. Kim had threatened him, and he was powerless against him. He had no choice but to collude with Kim and follow his every command.

As a miserable person, what right did he have to think about Anne's state?

On the other side, Anne went straight back to the Fu Family after getting rid of everyone.

As soon as Selma saw her, she walked up to her. She grabbed Anne's hand and asked nervously, "How did it go? Did you get hurt? How's your arm?"

As Anne heard Selma's questions, a smile played at the corners of her mouth. She shook her head gently and answered, "Just now, I went to Sam's hospital. He helped me deal with the injury. There are only a few scratches on my arm, but they will be healed in a few days."

At that critical time, Kevin grabbed Anne's arm and prevented her from falling down, thus her arm was the part that carried the most of the load of her weight. Selma breathed a sigh of relief. All of a sudden, they felt that the atmosphere got cold and heavy. When they looked back, they met Kevin's icy cold gaze. As soon as he got off the rooftop, Kevin returned to the Fu Family's house quickly, even quicker than Anne.

With a frown, he stepped forward and looked at Anne and Selma. Because of his cold gaze, the two could not help but lower their heads and avert their gazes. "Mom, you knew it, didn't you?" asked Kevin coldly.

Selma's body trembled because of his question. His cold tone revealed that he was already angry. How much angrier would he be if she told him the truth?

"Kevin, this has nothing to do with Selma. In fact, she doesn't know anything about it. It's my fault. I just decided without thinking that " Anne chimed in and explained to Kevin by acquitting Selma. "Anne, how can you think of me as a fool?!" shouted Kevin while staring at her in the eye. After all, he was still fearful after watching Anne fall.

Anne frowned. There was nothing she could do but bite her lips in helplessness.

"Kevin, I know you're worried about Anne. But you should also bear in mind that I'm worried about her as well. For our future and safety, she was right in doing that. Although you're disagreeing right now, I know that your rationality is telling you that what she has done is right." Selma looked back at Kevin and continued slowly, "Only by catching Kim can you four be together safe and sound. Otherwise, you'll have to live in fear of being harassed and worrying that your wife and children will be kidnapped again one day."

Selma's last sentence made Kevin's cold face turn even colder. But in his eyes, there was also a hint of helplessness and frustration.

'Your wife and children will be kidnapped again one day.' That single sentence echoed in his head for a long time.

Kevin stumbled a few steps back and sat on the sofa. It was true. As long as Kim was around, Anne and his children getting abducted would always be a possibility. He was like a snake slithering in the dark. Whether it was Anne or the children, they were his family. What did it have to do with Kim?

He could not accept defeat. There was no way he could accept it. However...

"It's me who should solve Kim's problems, not Anne. Anne, every time you handle these dangerous things alone, do you know how incompetent I look?" asked Kevin with a deep frown.

Hearing this, Anne stood petrified in the spot. Selma, who was standing beside her, wanted to protest but was stopped by Anne at once.

Right now, Eddy was in the room with Simon and Sally.

"Mom, the three kids are being naughty. I think you'd better go and check them." Anne knew this because when she raised her head, she saw three little figures hiding. That was why she asked Selma to take care of them.

Selma had no choice but to follow Anne's order. After all, there were some things that should not be heard by children.

As she looked at the cold expressions on Kevin's face, Anne could not help but sigh heavily. She sat opposite him and said in a serious tone, "Kevin, I don't know why you think about it that way. I've actually never thought of that from the very beginning. Although I'm still not completely dependent on you, I don't hate you anymore.

I know you're insanely powerful and formidable. It's just that I'm afraid!"

When Anne spoke, there was a touch of fear in her low voice. She frowned, and her body trembled slightly.

Her words made Kevin look at her in confusion. He pursed his lips and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

Although Kim could kidnap Anne and the children in the future, he would never hurt them. That made Kevin more puzzled when Anne told him she was afraid.

"Ryan was killed by Kim at that time. I begged for Sam's help, but he was then beaten black and blue. He fell in front of me and passed out. Every time I think about it, I get scared, really scared!

Kevin, you're my husband. Kim hates you to the core. We all know what he's capable of and what he could do if he catches you. I can't even imagine it! If anything bad happens to you, I won't be able to accept it!" Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke. She then looked at Kevin pitifully while biting her lips hard.

"After going through so many things, I also realized that Kim wouldn't hurt me. That's why I chose to do these things alone. That way, everyone can be safe." That was the reason why Anne was so determined to carry out the plan alone. "I never thought that you'd think that way. You should know that I think of you as a powerful person."

Kevin was both surprised and incredulous upon hearing her words.

She shouldn't have had such feelings given that she was controlled by the drug, but now, she acted sensible.

According to Sam, it would take at least a year for the effect of the drug to wear off. It had been only two weeks...

What was going on?

With a frown, Kevin stepped forward and moved his face close to Anne's. At the sight of this, she froze and shrank back to her seat subconsciously.

"Why are you so close to me?" Anne was still not used to it.

Kevin sat back on the sofa and shook his head slightly. "Anne, have you returned to your old self?"

What she said was very different from what she was supposed to feel under the influence of the drug.

All of a sudden, it dawned on her and her eyes widened in shock. She looked at Kevin incredulously. Why did she indeed have these feelings?

The change happened so suddenly and silently!

Kevin stood up at once and said to Anne urgently, "I'm calling Sam now. Get ready. We'll go to the hospital for a detailed examination!"

He had no idea whether her change was a good or a bad thing. He also did not know what had happened to the drug in her body. Although her change felt great, he could not be careless.

Knowing the importance of the matter, Anne immediately stood up and followed Kevin out. They had to be careful so they would not be photographed by reporters.

Meanwhile, Sam had already arranged everything. As soon as Anne arrived, she immediately underwent a thorough examination. The result shocked the medical experts.

Until now, the experts only knew few characteristics of the drug. To their surprise, it was clearly written on the lab results that the effect of the drug was fading quickly.

Based on their estimation, they never expected that it would weaken so quickly.

"It's a miracle! It's really a miracle!" Sam gave a thumb-up sign to Anne as he looked at the test report.

Anne raised her eyebrows at him. All of a sudden, a memory flashed in her mind. With her head lowered, she said in a low voice, "The moment I fell down, I felt something break inside of me. At first, I hated Kevin, but when I looked at him at that very moment, I didn't anymore."

"Is there such an effect when a person brushes with death?" With his eyes wide open, Sam looked at her in confusion.

Hearing that, Anne threw up her hands and looked at Kevin. The two of them smiled at each other, and she continued, "As a doctor, you shouldn't ask me that."

Sam turned around and saw the group of experts discussing with each other. He smiled helplessly at them and nodded. "Anyway, it's a good thing that the effect of the drug in your body is subsiding."

"According to our assessment of the current situation, you have to take more medicine for detoxification and metabolism. After that, your body will completely get rid of the drug in three days," concluded one of the medical experts.

Anne's eyes were wide in shock, and she looked utter surprised. Three days?

Kevin was even more shocked. He thought that it would take at least a year before she recovered. But now, the experts were saying that it would only take three days for her to completely get rid of the drug. Fantastic!

"Great! That's great!" The news made Kevin get up in happiness. He held Anne in his arms and whispered, "Anne, did you hear that? You'll be fine soon!"

Anne nodded her head. She, too, was very happy. It could be said that what had happened was a blessing in disguise.

Unfortunately, there was still no scientific explanation for this. Although the near death experience contributed to the cure, it was only a spiritual moment. What did it have to do with her body?

Perhaps it was only a miracle. The world was so big, and it was impossible for everything to have an explanation. Not only that, miracles could happen. Perhaps it was God Himself who gave it to Anne.

Not long after, Kevin took Anne home and told everyone the good news. Everyone was ecstatic to hear it. At first, Kevin opposed the plan because Anne could not control her emotions, but now everything was well.

'Damn you, Kim! How dare you fight for my own wife and take away my son? This time, I am going to give you the taste of your own medicine,' Kevin cursed in his mind.

"Haha! So this is what they call 'a blessing in disguise'!" Selma was also very happy. With her eyebrows and chin raised arrogantly, she looked at Kevin and said, "Someone resolutely opposed it, but now it seems to be a blessing in disguise. I wonder if that person will still act so tough!"

Helpless, Kevin could not help but rub his forehead. "Mom, I'm sorry. I was just in a bad mood. But this matter is no joke..."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
