Attracted By My Ex-wife

"It's late at night." Anne sat at the edge of the bed, beside Kevin and looked at the disgruntled man guiltily. She hesitated for a while before saying, "I'm sorry to bother you at this time, but in order to avoid others, we had to come to you at this time. We need to talk to you about something."

The last remnants of sleep had ebbed away. The old man now looked a little vigilant.

"I hope you know us more or less since we spent time in each other's company for the past few days. Honestly, we came here to know whether your injuries were caused by Abel or by Kim." Kevin explained carefully.

The old man's eyes filled with dread but he lowered his gaze immediately. Anne and Kevin could detect his fear but the old man refused to speak.

The couple had predicted that.

The old man wouldn't budge and the couple didn't want to force out a confession from the ailing man.

Anne sighed dejectedly, "If you don't want to talk about it, we won't force you. In fact, we are here to tell you that if it was really done by Abel, then he doesn't deserve to be your son. You don't deserve such a painful life." She paused, gauging the man's reaction before continuing, "If you choose to stay with Abel then he might hurt you in the future as well. You could come with us. Kevin has donated funds to many well-known nursing homes. You could stay in one of them."

If it was really Abel who did it, then he had lost the right to be a son. Although it might be heart-wrenching to separate a father from his son but letting him stay with his son would be equally harmful for him.

"If Cory did it, even then we can think of a way to save you," Anne said with conviction.

The old man's lips trembled. He finally raised his head and looked at Anne and then at Kevin.
