Attracted By My Ex-wife

"Anne, are you alright?" Sam stepped forward and tried to grab her arm, but she avoided him.

"Mom, you should leave. Otherwise, don't even dream about seeing Charles again!" Kevin coldly declared.

This was the first time that he had threatened his own mother for Anne's sake. Naturally, Selma was furious, but she knew that there was nobody who could ever disobey her son's commands.

"Fine, I'll leave. If something happens to that child, I'll make sure you'll pay for it with your life, Anne!" Selma picked up her bag and stormed out.

The room was quiet again, and Anne didn't say a word. She stood there, like an outcast that nobody could understand; but she didn't need to be understood by anyone.

"Stop with this nonsense! Just tell me the worst that is going to happen to my child!" In her heart, she had prepared to hear the worst.

Sam heaved a sigh. He never intended to tell her about this.

"The child's condition is unstable right now. If we don't find a suitable bone marrow soon, I'm afraid that he won't even live to be seven years old," he said in a foreboding tone.

He figured that telling her about the situation would cause her to break down, but Anne handled it well.

"Kevin, would you please step outside with me?" Her voice was cold and unrelenting. There was not even a tinge of warmth in her tone.

"Anne—" Sam shouted, he was worried that Anne would do something stupid.

"Stop! You don't need to come with us. This is between Kevin and I." She shifted her gaze away from Sam, still carrying the same coldness in her voice.

Her words pierced his heart. He felt like his heart was frozen, but he had no choice but to accept the truth.

Perhaps he and Anne were just a doctor and a patient, nothing more. Or she was Kevin's wife, and he was her cousin.

As for the matter between them, it would be wise to let them handle it by themselves. If he meddled in, it would only make things worse.

In front of the entrance to the hospital, rows of trees and lush greeneries gave comfort to the bleak autumn.

The area's terrain was high. Anne looked down, feeling desperate.

She wore a white shirt and a high-waisted dress that complemented her slender waist. Looking at her think figure made Kevin feel distressed.

"Anne, why did you ask me to step outside with you? If this is about our child, I'm sorry."

He sincerely admitted his mistake, but in Anne's heart, things would never be the same again.

She smiled, her face delicate like a solitude flower blooming on a branch. Every time she smiled, it felt like a spring in the mountains; it was the peak of beauty. But whenever she wasn't smiling, it felt like a cruel winter.
