Attracted By My Ex-wife

Around twenty minutes passed before Anne entered the room.

Without so much as a glance at Kevin, she took Eddy from his arms.

"Mom!" the little boy gladly acknowledged her arrival. He tugged at the hem of her clothes, while a drop of saliva slid down his chin without his knowledge.

"Mommy bought you some porridge. How about we have some of it right now?" asked Anne.

Eddy was one year old now and could finally eat porridge. The thought of such delicious food made his mouth water.

Anne carried him over to a small bed on the other side of the room and proceeded to feed him. All this motherly love radiating from Anne made Kevin feel a pang of jealousy.

"Is the porridge yummy?" she asked. Seeing that the little boy was enjoying his meal, she began teasing him by playfully putting the bowl away. Immediately, Eddy's lips trembled as if he was about to cry.

"Anne, can I see you out here for a minute?" The sound of Sam's voice made Anne stop. She straightened up and handed the bowl to Kevin. "Please feed him. I'll only be a while."

As soon as she closed the door, Kevin eyed Eddy and grumbled, "I'm hungry, too. How come there's only food for you?"

Kevin felt hurt, and in a moment, Eddy did so, too. His mother had just left the room, and now his father wouldn't feed him.

"Waaahhhh!" he began to wail. Kevin had no choice but to comfort him.

"No, don't cry. I'll feed you." Kevin tried to soothe the little boy. However, he was still feeling hurt. He hoped that Anne would pay attention to him, too.

Outside the ward, the corridor was eerily quiet.

Anne stood with her back to the door and studied Sam carefully. "Is Kevin alright?"

She was clearly nervous. She had heard that the symptoms of the allergic reaction could sometimes be severe and surmised that Kevin had been in a terrible condition the previous day.

"You worry about him so much, Anne. You said you wouldn't let this pass that easily," Sam said with a faint smile.

"I know, but this is a serious matter. I just want to know as much as I can about it."

She wanted to appear casual, but her eyes betrayed her emotions.

"Really?" Sam asked. The truth was that he already knew how Anne truly felt.

"Of course."

"You know, you don't look so good yourself. Do you want to get checked?" Sam offered.

Anne indeed felt a little uncomfortable, but she thought she could still handle it. Kevin and Eddy were both sick, and she didn't want to cause more trouble.

"There's no need for that. I just haven't been sleeping well these past couple of days. I'm okay." She smiled, but Sam was still worried. Nevertheless, there was nothing that he could do.

"Well, that's good to hear. I've been worried about you. Your experience had been unpleasant."
