Attracted By My Ex-wife
Chapter 82 Preterm Labor Symptoms

"I said it was none of your business! You should pay more attention to your darling,"

Anne said in a jealous tone again while pushing Kevin away. She felt an indescribable grievance at the thought that Cherry wanted to kill her and the baby she was carrying. She felt even worse because Kevin was still favoring Cherry.

"I'm really worried about your condition. We need to go to the hospital for a checkup. Let's go!"

Although Kevin was unhappy with the attitude Anne was displaying, he still couldn't help but feel worried about her and the baby. He would never want anything bad to happen to them, especially to their child.

He then carried Anne and walked towards his car.

"Kevin, put me down! I can handle myself. And it's absolutely none of your business if I'm sick or not!" Anne was struggling to break free, but she was still furious that Kevin insisted on taking her to the hospital. Kevin started to feel annoyed at how childish she was behaving. His impatience was written all over his face. He kept thinking about how immature it was for her to keep throwing tantrums.

"Anne, I swear, you better behave yourself or I will throw you to the ground!"

Looking down at her angry face, Kevin could not help but roar in a low voice. He wouldn't have cared about her if he wasn't worried about her health.

"Go on, then! Do it! Throw me to the ground!"

Anne snorted while looking unconvinced. She thought she'd rather be thrown to the ground by this man than be held in his arms, because the thought of him just holding Cherry made her feel sick. "Damn it! If you want something bad to happen to the baby, you can give it a try and see if I would ever dare throw you down like you want!"

The damn woman didn't take his threat to heart at all. She really had a leopard's courage and became more and more daring.

When Anne heard the word 'baby', she froze all of a sudden. Although she hated Kevin's persistence, she felt a pain inside her now. She started getting really worried that there might have been something wrong with the baby, and that she was being apathetic about it. She thought that if she struggled even more, the pain she was feeling would get even worse.

She suddenly became silent and even though she was still angry, she stopped moving as if she wanted Kevin to let go of her. After all, the most important thing to her at that moment was the safety of her child. Seeing her slowly calm down, Kevin looked at her indifferently and the look in his eyes softened.

"You can stop worrying now. I won't let anything happen to the baby."

After putting her down on the passenger's seat, Kevin drove away as if he had completely forgotten about Cherry's existence.

Watching the car being driven further away, Cherry started to feel vexed. She felt neglected that Kevin didn't even look at her before they drove away.

Now all she could think about was how she wanted something bad to happen to the baby inside Anne. If Anne lost the baby, she would really have no hold on Kevin anymore.

As the car drove on, the searing pain inside Anne's belly became stronger. Soon enough, her face was covered with cold sweat.

As the pain worsened, she became more terrified for the safety of her child. She was really afraid that she might lose the baby. "Hurry up, Kevin!"

Ignoring the feeling of disgust she had for him, she caressed her belly and kept praying in her heart, hoping that no accident would happen to her baby.

"How are you feeling? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Is it still painful?" Kevin was looking at her worriedly. He was so anxious and he felt really sorry for her.

Watching her endure the pain made him feel a tinge of pain in his heart.

"I'm fine. I'm just really worried about the baby."

Anne didn't really care anymore about herself. All she could think about was the baby. She started feeling like she was the one to blame because she didn't act on it as soon as she felt something wrong. "The baby will be fine. Don't worry."

Kevin noticed that she was in a state of panic already, so he stepped on the gas to speed up the car. While he was driving, he tried to offer some words of comfort.

When they arrived at the hospital, Kevin carried her straight to the emergency room. It helped that he already asked his assistant to arrange everything before they got to the hospital.

All the best doctors were already waiting for them. As soon as they saw Anne, they quickly examined her.

An hour later, Anne got sent to the ward. Her face was so pale but she had fallen fast asleep as soon as they set her on a hospital bed.

"How is she?" Kevin asked the doctor in a low voice so as not to wake Anne up while gazing upon her.

"Mr. Kevin, I assure you that there is nothing to worry about. She is just having preterm labor symptoms. It's not a big deal. She will be fine. She just needs rest," said one of the middle-aged doctors that attended to Anne.

"How about the baby? Is the baby alright? I'm sorry, I just can't help but feel worried." Kevin was obviously unhinged.

"The baby is alright but this young lady's body is still a little weak. Like I said, she just needs rest, and she has to make sure to take good care of herself from now on. Otherwise, an accident may occur at any given moment,"

the doctor whispered to Kevin.

"I see. Thank you. You can leave now." Kevin waved his hand impatiently, gesturing the doctor to leave him.

Kevin and Anne were left all alone in a room together once more. The atmosphere started getting awkward. Anne had just dreamt that Cherry stabbed her stomach with a knife and a lot of blood were flowing out of it.

"My baby, don't... Don't!" Anne clutched the bed sheet tightly with both of her hands. She was obviously in pain.

Kevin felt concerned. He immediately went to her side and held her hand tightly.

Anne appeared as a formidably strong woman, but in reality, she had a really fragile heart. However, if Kevin ever tried to look back on all the terrible things she had done before, he would have every right to hate her. Despite that, when he witnessed her being hit by a car earlier, the only thing he could feel was fear.

Just when the car was about to hit her, his mind went completely blank. At that moment, all he wanted to do was protect her even if it meant that he would be the one in danger.

He seemed to have paid more and more attention to her. Every time he saw her suffering, he would feel sorry for her, and he felt jealous whenever he would see her talking and laughing with other men.

In Anne's dream, the hands that held her gave her a sense of security. As she tried to gradually relax her body, her dream became less terrible.

As Kevin continued to hold her hands and stare at her, he noticed her eyebrows relaxed, and he couldn't help but smile. The look in his eyes became gentle.

"Anne, I will definitely investigate this matter," he whispered firmly in Anne's ear, then he turned around and left the ward.

Slowly, Anne opened her eyes. There was coldness in her eyes. In fact, she had woken up once Kevin held her hand but she didn't open her eyes, so that she didn't have to face him.

She clearly heard what he had whispered. She didn't expect anything from him anymore. She was sure that Cherry was the one behind all of it. He just didn't believe her.

Meanwhile, inside the office of the Fu Group's Chief Executive Officer, Kevin exuded a strong and imposing aura. He was always intimidating without even trying. "How's the investigation going? Have you found out who owns the car?"

said Kevin in a cold tone as he looked at his assistant, Lanny Li. He was less than five meters away from Kevin, and had been standing there respectfully with his head down. "President, I found out who was driving the car. He is a man named John Li. He is a rouge and has no proper job," Lanny Li replied respectfully as soon as he heard Kevin's question. "Do you honestly think that that's what I wanted to hear? What I want is the result of the investigation!"

Kevin was completely dissatisfied at Lanny Li's response. The cold vibe that he was giving off got stronger. Lanny Li could feel that the temperature around him had dropped several degrees. "President, I've also found out that John Li met up with Alan's secretary a few days ago. Now I think Alan must have had something to do with the accident," Lanny Li replied solemnly as he trembled from fear. Alan? It was him again!

He should have known that Alan wouldn't give up so easily. It seemed that he didn't take what he said last time seriously.

"Leave me!" His eyes narrowed, radiating a dangerous light.

How bold and daring of Alan to even do such a thing when he knew fully well that Anne was pregnant with Kevin's baby. He was definitely underestimating Kevin.

Alan's sister, Ruth, had been left in a vegetative state because of Anne. If it weren't for that, he would not have let Alan go last time. It would seem that he really had to teach him a lesson this time.

In a high-end club called Heaven on the Earth, Alan played billiards with a few incompetent friends. He held two ravishing women in his arms, his large hands touching their slender bodies from time to time. "Mr. Alan, you haven't been around for a long time. I was almost convinced you had forgotten about me,"

the woman to his right said in a coquettish tone as she picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Alan. She occasionally touched him and teased him with her sexy figure.

"How could I forget about you? I have just been a little busy recently. I came to see you as soon as I had some free time,"

he said, putting down the glass. He gently pulled her in by her chin and kissed her.

"Mr. Alan, you are so bad! You're always taking advantage of me!"

the woman he just kissed said in a flirtatious tone as she pushed him away.

"Ha-ha! It's funny to see how shy you are. I really like you. Come on, have a drink!"

"Mr. Alan, you're so lucky to have two beautiful women in your arms! Suddenly, Kevin's cold and disdainful voice came from behind.

He paced towards Alan with terror in his eyes.

Alan recognized Kevin's voice and he followed where it came from. He started to feel a sense of panic as soon as he confirmed it was really Kevin.

"Oh, Kevin, as I live and breathe," he said, trying to sound confident and unbothered. "What brings you here? You here to have some fun?" Alan pushed the ladies aside and walked towards Kevin.

"I'm not here to have fun or mess around with you. You must know why I'm here right now. Don't even try to act dumb." There was a demonic smile painted on Kevin's face, and the icy stare coming from his black eyes made people tremble on their seats.☐
