Attracted By My Ex-wife

Inside the ward, Anne woke up several times.

The window was open, but the blinds were pulled down. She rubbed her eyes. The outside world seemed hazy and dreamlike.

As she hadn't seen Eddy in days, she wanted to leave the hospital as soon as possible.

But just as she was about to lift her blanket, the door suddenly opened.

It was Rose and Mark. Anne hadn't seen Mark in a long time.

"Anne, are you feeling better?" Rose asked worriedly.

She seemed sincere, while Mark looked equally concerned.

This touched Anne's heart. She was grateful for the care they had given her. Despite everything that happened between Rose and her, it felt like neither woman held a grudge against the other.

It was true that they shared the same father but had different mothers. But Rose never made her feel like an outsider.

"I feel much better. Thank you," Anne replied with a smile, feeling a little relieved. She had dropped the hatred for his father who caused her mother's tragedy.

"That's good. I heard you were in an accident just as I arrived home. I was so anxious that I asked Mark to come with me and visit you," Rose said.

"Does... Dad know about it?" This was the one thing Anne cared about the most.

Rose chuckled and replied, "I see that you're not used to calling him Dad. Don't mind us. You can call him whatever you like."

But yes, he does know that something happened to you. He was supposed to come with us, but my mother said something to him, so he didn't come. But he promised me that he would visit you soon."

Rose tried her best to explain everything, hoping that Anne would understand.

In their family, only she and Liam accepted Anne wholeheartedly. Valentina would always make it clear that she didn't care about her husband's other daughter.

Not only was Anne the child of her rival in love, but she was also the one who took away her son-in-law. How could Valentina possibly approve of her?

"Okay," Anne nodded slightly before sitting back on her bed.

"Do you want to go out for a walk? I'll go with you." Rose sat next to Anne, worried that she might be bored.

"Yes, but I'll go later. I'm not hurt. I was just a little scared. It's nothing serious," Anne replied indifferently.

Hearing this, Rose frowned. "How can you say that? When I was a child, my mother would constantly worry for me over the littlest slip or injury. To think that you were just in a car accident!"

Her words suddenly reminded Anne of the childhood she spent with her own mother. Her eyes turned blank as her thoughts drifted to the past.

Watching the shift in her expression, Rose wondered whether it was because she mentioned Valentina. She knew that her mother did a lot of things to her half-sister that made the latter uncomfortable. "My mother is a good person. She was just shocked because she had never heard of you before. She didn't know that Dad loved your mother so much."
