Attracted By My Ex-wife

In the examination room on the third floor, Anne stood by the door and waited quietly to be called. The physical examination was like a routine for her, so she wasn’t as anxious at all. For the sake of the baby, she had been regulating her emotions since she was pregnant. Her switch to a stress-free lifestyle should have done wonders for her. Her condition should be much better compared to before.

She glanced at the window, looked outside, and saw rows of green trees waving at her as the wind gently breezed in the warm afternoon. The scenery was contagiously serene, yet the expression in her eyes was vast and deep.

"Anne Luo?"

When Anne heard the doctor’s call that echoed the quiet halls, she immediately walked in.

The examination didn't take too long to conclude. It seemed everything ran so smoothly.

"Doctor, is everything okay with me?" asked Anne.

She didn't ask Sam anything before because she knew that he would tell her everything automatically, but the doctor in front of her was relatively new, and she didn't know how he was like.

"The result won't come out for the next two hours, but once I have it, I will surely inform you immediately. You can wait patiently for now," The doctor answered in the most professional tone, and Anne had to go outside to do as he said.

"Anne, how was the examination?" Emily asked while holding Charles in her arms.

Ever since Charles was diagnosed with his leukemia, he received the best and immediate medical attention, and his illness was thankfully recuperating by the day.

"I don't know yet. We’re going to have to wait for the results, but there shouldn’t be any problem," said Anne with a complacent smile.

"How is my great-grandson doing?" An anxious voice came from the silent corner of the corridor. Looking back, Anne found out it was Carl.

"He’s much better now. Grandpa, why did you come here? You should be at home resting and taking care of yourself." Anne was surprised that he was here. She was not averse to Carl so she spoke with some respect.

Hearing this, Carl frowned and said, "What's wrong with me coming here? I have never been better anyway. Can't I come and see my grandson occasionally?"

His words were a little rude, but Anne could see that he really liked Charles, so she was not provoked at all.

"Of course, you can. Although, Charles will be leaving soon, I could ask the driver to take you home," said Anne.

"No, there’s no need for that. By the way, didn't you say that you would give Charles a handsome name? How does Edward Fu sound like?" said Carl as he nodded his head. He seemed to be very satisfied with the name he suggested.

Hearing that, Anne also thought it was a good idea. She affirmed, "That's actually a good one."

But Anne's smiling face faded once Carl spoke of another suggestion.

"How about the nickname? We should change it as well," Carl proposed seriously.

"Why? I think Charles is a good name. I don't want the name to be too flashy. A heavy name just might put pressure on him. I was hoping that he remains healthy all his life," Anne insisted.
