Attracted By My Ex-wife

A shadow appeared in front of Eddy, demanding his attention. He slowly raised his head, sadness lining his eyes.

Anne gazed at him from above, shocked at his reaction.

Having gone through so much, Eddy was now more mature than an adult. Knowing that Bob's heart would be put inside his chest made him anxious.

With a downcast expression, Anne stretched her hand towards him. Holding her hand, he was guided towards his room.

As he settled down on the bed, Anne crouched in front of him, looking into his eyes. He stared back, unmoving. All of a sudden, his eyes started to water, and tears slowly spilled down his cheeks.

"Mom. If it weren't for me, would Bob have died? Do you think I'm cursed? Otherwise… I wouldn't get sick all the time! Why am I always troubling you?" Eddy choked through his sobs.

Anne bit her lip as her heart stung at his words. She tightened her arms around him, shaking her head. "Where did you hear these words? How could you think this? You are my life, our treasure! How could you be cursed?"

"Then why am I always sick? I've been causing you trouble and involving Bob in this mess." His small figure clung onto Anne's, trembling between sobs.

"Eddy, how can you think so? You inherited the blood disease. If you want to blame anyone, blame us! It's our fault, it has nothing to do with you!

Besides, it's a very rare illness, which makes you special as compared to others!

When you met Bob, he was already in a critical condition. He couldn't have lived any longer. It had nothing to do with you. How could you think it was your fault?"

Eddy blinked, his eyes red and swollen. He looked at her and thought for a while, then asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Anne had no choice but to nod. "When have I ever lied to you? What I said is completely true!"

Eddy threw himself at her, putting his arms around her neck, and burst into tears.

He didn't want to get sick, he didn't want Bob's heart and he certainly didn't want to cause his family so much trouble!

"Eddy, listen to me carefully. He is indeed not with us anymore, but if his heart gets replaced in your chest, he will live on through you. Your life will not only be yours but also Bob's. You should live a wonderful life for both yourself and him. This is the only way you can make him happy in heaven, right?" Anne gently rubbed his shoulder, coaxing him in a soft voice.

He tilted his head, lost in thought at her words. After a long pause, he nodded and spoke in a serious tone. "Mom, you're right. After I take Bob's heart, I won't be alone anymore, I'll have him with me!"

His words stunned Anne as she stared at him in awe.

She mumbled an encouraging reply, but couldn't remember what she had said. Eddy's words were still playing in her mind.
