Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 415 Cruel Truth

'Sorry!

You trusted us so much, and we only came here for your heart and your life!

If there's a next life, I would do anything for you, Bob. But in this life, I am sorry, ' Anne said in her heart.

Eddy drew his lips in and bit down anxiously as he gazed at Bob's smiling face. He knew that his survival depended all on Bob's heart.

Especially since time was a factor.

Once Bob's terrible blood disease spread through his body, there would be massive organ failure. So far, only his liver and kidney had been affected. While Eddy's only failing organ was his heart.

No one knew if one day Bob's heart would deteriorate. They had to put Bob's heart into Eddy's body before that happened!

It was a race against time.

"Eddy, Aunt Anne! You are finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Where are we going today?" Bob held Eddy's hand as he asked so happily, his innocent eyes sparkling.

The little boy's sincerity struck at Anne's conscious causing her eyes to darken briefly from the inescapable guilt. She made sure to hide the emotion, plastering a smile on her face. "Bob, have you had breakfast?" she asked casually.

Bob bit his lips instead of answering. Anne felt a genuine smile softly pull at her lips. She already knew. The hospital didn't give out meals at this time of day. She quickly whisked Bob and Eddy out to the closest restaurant for breakfast.

While some children might have been disappointed to see only healthy food and nothing greasy on the table, Bob spared it no thought and treated it as if precious gold.

He gulped down the food and Anne felt the stirrings of guilt and sadness once more, her eyes briefly darkening. They were determined to have Bob's heart. So while he could still eat, run and dance, the least she could do was to help him enjoy these final happy moments!

Early that evening, Bob's mother ran into Anne while visiting. She couldn't take her eyes off Bob's smiling face. "He's been so happy since he met you and Eddy. Thank you." She expressed her gratitude. It meant everything to her to see him happy so much so that she was willing to overlook the other woman's odd behavior. The elegant woman had brushed aside her appreciation with a shake of her head, refusing to accept her gratitude. Even though she found it more than a little strange.

'Everyone have their own secrets, stories they couldn't tell, but it doesn't mean that it is necessarily a bad thing, ' Bob's mother optimistically thought.

The mother and son kept up their visits, arriving daily just to see Bob. It was no wonder he soon grew attached to the pair and ran around calling them cheerfully. On a few occasions, they were accompanied by another friend, Emily who was great with the boys.

The day the medical fees were due, Anne went to see Jayson. It was a surprise to Anne when he told her that Bob's family were struggling and had only been able to pay for half of their medical fees!

Since they had first met Bob, she had yet to see his father. Bob's mother had always told Anne that he was working. Once she had admitted that he didn't dare to take time off. Still, after all of that effort they had only been able to pay half of the medical expenses of this month!

Anne sighed and pulled out her card to pay the rest of the medical fees. The money might be an exorbitant sum for some, but not for her and Kevin. It wasn't even a drop in the bucket.
