Renewal Of Love

Chapter 76 Cherry's Uneasiness

The way Kevin refused her made Cherry even more furious. She stared at Anne with such hostility and

malevolence in her eyes. It was unknown how many times she had wanted to kill Anne.

Anne had already been used to Cherry's malefic gaze. She glanced back at her nonchalantly and then

ignored her the rest of the time.

Kevin was not so skilled in wrapping bandages, and it was evident in the way that he treated Anne's

wound. Her hand looked like a traditional Chinese rice pudding after Kevin bandaged it. She just hurt

her palms but Kevin wrapped her hand entirely.

"Are you really not going to let me eat? What made you think it was okay to wrap my whole hand like

this?"

Anne said while rolling her eyes in annoyance at Kevin. She thought he was proficient in everything

until she saw the way he poorly wrapped her hand like that.

"Well, you still get your left hand. Don't you?"

He got frustrated upon seeing the look of disappointment on Anne's face. He thought what he did for

her was special but her reaction clearly gave him the impression that it wasn't. He started thinking that

she might have been a little ungrateful this time.

"I do, but I can't use chopsticks using my left hand. So, what's the point?" she grunted, while looking at

Kevin dismissively. Was this man really just playing tricks on her?

"Is that the only problem? Then I'll feed you!"

Kevin said without hesitation, completely ignoring the reaction of the two women.

Anne was taken aback. She couldn't believe Kevin would respond like that. In a normal situation, she

would expect him to just tell her to starve to death.

But today was clearly different. He even offered to feed her. She started wondering why he had

changed all of a sudden.

Cherry was shocked too. Her hatred for Anne grew even more. Kevin's inclination towards Anne was

getting more and more obvious, and she did not want it to keep going on like that. She knew she had to

do something to prevent Anne to get between her and Kevin.

"Since when have you become so concerned about Anne?" Cherry said with a hint of jealousy in her

tone and tried to force a little smile.

"She is pregnant with my child. Shouldn't I care about her?" Kevin said without having any guilty

feelings about Cherry's question.

"Yeah, I get that she is bearing your child, so it's only natural for you to care for her. I'm just curious why

you seem to have changed drastically all of a sudden."

Cherry was obviously confounded when she heard Kevin's response. It would seem that he was aware

of how his attitude towards Anne had changed, but he didn't try to hide his affection towards her in front

of Cherry.

Meanwhile, Anne could not help but sneer while noticing the panic on Cherry's face. Cherry had been

so good at pretending, but he might find out about her true colors soon.

"Cherry, go and ask the kitchen crew to prepare some nutritious soup for Anne. She needs it. She is

too thin," Kevin ordered.

Cherry just said one wrong sentence, so that didn't cause Kevin to suspect too much. But what he said

next made it more difficult for her to accept.

She stared at Anne with so much hatred once again. She really wished she could just kill her at that

moment. She couldn't accept that Kevin actually ordered her to do things for that bitch.

But she knew that no matter how much she hated Anne from the beginning, she could never let it show

whenever she was in front of Kevin.

So she took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I'll take care of it." After speaking in the most gentle tone

she could muster, she turned around and did what Kevin asked for.

Anne and Kevin were then left alone, and the atmosphere started to get extremely awkward. As much

as Anne really tried, she couldn't work up a word to say.

She would have resorted to just driving him away if he hadn't shown that he cared for her moments

ago. She thought to herself that if she would have her cold face on, it would seem like she was totally

ungrateful.

"Kevin, thank you. I really appreciate what you just did for me,"

Anne said, as if breaking the ice after an awkward silence between them. She tried to sound more

sincere to lighten the mood.

"Aha, Anne! I guess it turns out that you still have some conscience left in you,"

Kevin snorted. He felt so nervous around her just now, but this woman merely thanked him for what he

did. He thought that was not enough.

He should have just accepted Anne's gratitude and been content, but that was not him. He was really

good at ruining the atmosphere.

Anne curled her lips in dissatisfaction and stood up. She started feeling dizzy again and she felt a chill

feeling.

She slightly frowned and tried to ignore the discomfort she was feeling. She fell down again after taking

a couple of steps. She felt as if she was stepping on something ridiculously soft like cotton, and that

she lost her strength altogether.

"Anne, are you alright? What's happened?" Kevin reacted immediately and managed to catch her.

Worry filled his eyes as he witnessed how she was that day. He wondered if she was sick or

something.

He tried to check her temperature by touching her forehead with his slender fingers that were a little

cold from fear and worry. His face turned pale and he felt flustered when he felt that her temperature

was high.

"Oh, Anne! Didn't you feel that you had a fever?" he said while anxiously looking at her. He had never

felt so worried before.

"Ah, well. I'm fine, I'm fine. Don't worry. I'll just drink some water and then I'll be okay." Anne said while

struggling to stand up from Kevin's arms, but he was holding her tightly.

"What do you mean you're fine? Your temperature is too high right now for you to tell me you're just

fine! You are pregnant. You're sick, and you're trying to just ignore it. Don't you care about the safety of

the child you're bearing?"

He was starting to get angry for he had never seen a mother who couldn't care less if she had a fever Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

while she was pregnant.

Hearing him talk about the baby made Anne slightly tremble. She said she was fine because she didn't

want to accept that Kevin was trying to show that he cared. She forgot that the baby might be affected

by her fever.

"I'll call Sam later. He should be here soon." She put away Kevin's arms that were wrapped around her,

and picked up her phone to call Sam.

Kevin knew how much Sam cared about Anne. When he heard her mention his name, his face instantly

darkened. He had planned to stop her from calling Sam, but when he remembered her current physical

condition, he thought he'd rather not object and just bear the unhappiness he was feeling in his heart.

After she hung the phone up, she lay on her bed, still feeling uncomfortable. She wanted to get some

sleep.

Her body seemed to be in an ice cellar, shivering from the chills. Her thin body seemed to shrink into a

small ball into the quilt.

Seeing her like this, Kevin felt heartbroken. Her pale face and tightly furrowed eyebrows which were

painful to watch.

He took off his coat and laid it down on the quilt. He held Anne tightly from behind to try and give her

some warmth.

The sudden warmth startled Anne, and when she came to her senses, she pushed Kevin away with all

her strength.

"What are you doing? Let go of me!"

She was really angry, but she could not even shout, so it didn't sound intimidating at all.

"What did you think I was doing? Anne, don't be ridiculous. I'm not being dirty or anything. I just wanted

to try and provide you some warmth."

Seeing the vigilance and surprise in her eyes, Kevin figured out what she might have been worrying

about. This woman's thoughts were pretty odd. She was so sick now and she was still thinking that he

might do something to her? Was he such a bad man who would even take advantage of a sick woman

in her eyes?

"I… when did I say that? It was you who went to my bed without my permission!" Anne blushed a little

while speaking in an unnatural tone.

She was thinking too much. How could a man like Kevin want to do that to her? The two of them had

sex before because Kevin wanted to have a baby. But now that she was already pregnant, this man

should feel disgusted to touch her again. Besides, he already had a beautiful woman like Cherry by his

side.

"I had pure intentions when I went to your bed. It was for your own good. Tell me, don't you feel warmer

now after I just held you?"

he said looking at Anne while feeling a little annoyed. He cared about her so much but she wasn't even

appreciative of it.

She wanted to push him away until she heard him say that. She felt a little warmth in her chest. It

turned out that he did have some humanity in him.

Thinking about how Kevin did something nice for her she felt relieved. She moved her body while still in

his arms and finally found a comfortable position.

Kevin's face became a little stiff while Anne moved restlessly. He asked himself if she was deliberately

torturing him.

"Anne, you better behave yourself or you will pay for it!" he whispered in her ear while gritting his teeth.

As soon as she felt his warm breath on her neck, she moved her body, and in an embarrassed tone

she said,

"What did I do to offend you this time?"

She thought about how capricious Kevin was. She didn't even say anything, so she couldn't think of a

reason why he had to threaten her like that.

"Anne, are you trying to seduce me?" Kevin leaned his thing against Anne's thigh. The sound of his

voice was quite charming.

Having done a considerable amount of intimate things with him before, Anne knew what he was trying

to do. She started feeling agitated and somewhat annoyed. She wanted to kick him out of bed.

However, when she felt something hard against her thigh, she didn't dare to move anymore. She

feared it would just cause his desire to grow stronger.

"How about you leave my bed?" she blurted out.

All she wanted then was for him to leave her alone immediately. She was really worried that he

wouldn't be able to control himself. After all, she shouldn't be doing something like that with him now.

"Do you honestly think you can decide that for me right now?"

Kevin said in an enticing and surly voice, showing his strong desire that he clearly didn't want to let go

of her.
