Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 110 Ruth Is Dead

Anne smiled bitterly. She convinced herself not to think of Kevin anymore.

She went out of bed and drank a glass of water. She felt a little sad while looking around at the empty ward.

Now, she was really lonely. No one was there to accompany her. Even Emily, who was the kindest person to her, had gone abroad to protect her. She felt guilty in causing her friend to sacrifice so much for her.

When Anne was bombarded with these thoughts, she thought that her life had been miserable since then, so maybe her existence in this world was no longer necessary.

The door of the ward was opened, and the slender figure of Kevin appeared in her sight. He looked at Anne with sadness in his eyes and frowned slightly.

"Why don't you lie down on the bed? What are you going to do?" He strode to Anne and spoke with so much concern in his tone. He looked down at her pitifully.

Staring at his handsome face, Anne couldn't help but wonder why he still hadn't left.

"You didn't leave?" she asked softly with curiosity in her eyes.

"Are you expecting me to leave?" He looked at her with discontentment. 'What the hell was she talking about? Doesn't she want me to be here?

I have stayed with her the whole night and haven't slept. How could this woman be so heartless?'

"No, no!"

Anne didn't know why she responded so quickly. Did she also hope to be accompanied by Kevin in her heart?

Kevin was surprised to hear her answer. He smiled sweetly.

This woman finally made him satisfied with the way she responded to him.

"So you want me to be here? Am I right, Anne?" Kevin asked wanting to confirm what she meant, and to assure that the happiness he felt was for real.

Feeling a little awkward, Anne took a step back. She didn't dare to look into his eyes. She wanted to appear tough and not give in to him, but she couldn't ignore what her heart truly wanted to say.

"I…"

She spoke with full hesitation of how she would articulate the emotions in her heart. If she told him that she wanted him to be here, how would he react?

Kevin looked at her patiently waiting for an answer. Suddenly, her belly made a sound.

Her stomach growled abruptly in the quiet ward. She felt so embarrassed, so she looked away.

"Are you hungry?" Kevin furrowed his eyebrows, and asked Anne with concern.

"Yes,"

Anne answered in a low voice. Her face was turning red in so much discomfiture that she couldn't even look into his eyes.

Hearing her answer, Kevin clapped his hands to call the attention of the servants. They immediately came inside and brought a variety of dishes.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Anne was shocked at the moment. She looked at Kevin in disbelief.

"These are…"

"Aren't you hungry? Hurry up and eat."

Her eyes were wide open, and the disbelief in them amused Kevin. Sometimes, this woman made him feel that she was a person who tended to be happy even in the smallest things.

"You left this morning to prepare breakfast for me?" Anne's eyes were dazzling in so much happiness. Her tone was full of satisfaction.

"Or what?"

Kevin didn't give a direct answer, but what he meant was very clear. The reason as to why he wasn't in the ward in the early morning was that he had gone to prepare breakfast for her.

Her heart was beating so fast. It was the first time that Anne had felt touched by this man.

"Thank you."

Tears welled up in her eyes. She looked away unnaturally, because she didn't want to show what she truly felt for what Kevin had just done. She thought that no one would ever accompany her, but she was surprised that Kevin did despite of being the least person to be capable of such thing.

"You are hungry. Come and eat. I consulted the doctor yesterday and he said that you needed more nutrition."

Kevin ladled a bowl of soup for her and handed it to her gently. He was acting so unusual.

Anne took a sip of her soup. Her heart was fluttering in so much happiness because of Kevin's unusual attitude.

He really cared about her. He even took the time to consult the doctor for her.

Anne raised her head and was about to say something to Kevin when the door suddenly opened.

Recognizing who just came in, Anne frowned and didn't continue what she wanted to say.

"Kevin, Anne." Cherry walked in gracefully with a smile on her face.

"Didn't I say that I didn't want to see you? Could you please leave right now?" Anne frowned. She was more irritated by her presence.

"Anne, I know you are still mad at me," Cherry said in a gentle tone.

Anne looked at her, curious of what she was thinking right now and what she was going to do next.

"Well, you two should calm down. Cherry, come and have breakfast with us."

Every time Anne glanced at Cherry, her eyes were full of hostility, which made Kevin a little dissatisfied. He didn't understand why this woman didn't like Cherry. Was it because she was jealous of her relationship with him?

Having this thought made Kevin smile slightly. It seemed that this woman cared about him a lot. She was jealous of Cherry, so she was hostile to her. That must be the case.

"What are you laughing at?"

Anne frowned and glared at him. He seemed to be in a good mood. Did he ask Cherry to come here on purpose?

Anne was moved by his efforts this morning, but now, she was filled with anger.

Noticing the displeasure in her eyes, Kevin was about to ask her when a loud sound was heard outside.

"Mr. Alan, you can't go in. Mr. Kevin is inside now. If you break in by force, we can't bear his blame."

A nurse's anxious voice was clearly heard from outside. Anne looked at the door curiously.

"Get out of my way! I'm going to kill that bitch, Anne!" Alan shouted at the top of his lungs.

Hearing that it was Alan who was causing the trouble outside, Anne couldn't help but frown. 'Why did he come here at this time? Does he still want to avenge his sister?' Anne thought.

"Mr. Alan, don't make things difficult for us. We are in the hospital. Please calm down."

The nurse tried her best to suppress Alan's aggression. Kevin was still in the ward. If anyone barged in and irritated him, the nurse would definitely lose her job.

"Let him in!" Kevin ordered loudly, while staring at the door with a gloomy face.

Alan's tall and strong figure appeared in the ward as expected. When he saw Anne sitting at the corner, he was infuriated and acted as if he was crazy.

"You bitch, I'm going to kill you!" Alan pounced on Anne, with a shiny knife in his hand.

Seeing the knife in his hand, Anne was frightened. She quickly stood up and retreated.

'Is Alan crazy? He wants to kill me.'

Kevin stepped in front of Anne immediately and stretched his hand out to control Alan.

"Mr. Alan, do you still want to hurt my woman in front of me? Don't you take me seriously?"

Kevin's face was intimidating. His deep eyes were burning as hell, and his voice was as cold as death.

"Mr. Kevin, I will kill this woman today no matter what! It's her! She killed my sister!"

The bright knife pointed at Anne. Alan was so eager to pierce the knife into her. He stared at her sharply, as if he wanted to skin her alive.

Looking at the agitated man, Cherry sneered. A wry smile appeared on her face.

'Anne, let's see if you are still so lucky this time!'

Knowing that Alan still wanted to take revenge for Ruth, Kevin frowned and he felt more irritated.

"I said I would give you an explanation after she gave birth to my baby!"

Alan was really annoying. He had made a concession before, but now he was haunting Anne aggressively again. What urged him to do so?

"Explanation? My sister has been killed by her. I don't want the explanation anymore."

Alan stared at Anne with murderous eyes, his hands shaking violently. He was really determined to take Anne's life right at the moment.

"Killed?" Kevin frowned in surprise.

"What? Ruth is dead?"

Kevin was not the only one who was shocked, but Anne as well. Now, Alan was not the only one mourning for his sister, Anne also felt bad.

"Anne, you are still pretending. You killed my sister, and I'm going to take my revenge!"

Alan held the knife tightly, and tried to get rid of Kevin's control. However, he was not able to get past him.

"Alan, what are you talking about? When did I hurt your sister? Don't sling mud at me!"

Alan said that she killed Ruth. Anne was so angry over his accusation. She would never bear such a big crime as murder.

Moreover, Ruth's death had nothing to do with her. In fact, she still couldn't believe that Ruth had died.

"Sling mud at you? Now you still deny, huh? Do you think I will let you go no matter what your response may be? I'm telling you, Anne, no matter what it takes, I will kill you with my own hands!"

Alan had been overwhelmed by hatred and angst over the death of her sister. He wanted to do nothing but end the life the woman who killed his sister. It was the only way to make himself feel relieved.

"Mr. Alan, do you have any evidence that Anne killed Ruth?" Kevin said coldly.

Killing was a serious crime. Kevin would never turn a blind eye even to his woman, if the accusation was real.
