Attracted By My Ex-wife

In the afternoon, Anne took Eddy to the hospital.

Bob's father came out to greet them. He let out a weary sigh and shifted his gaze to Eddy.

His heart took a sprint in his chest. Regardless of whether the boy had his son's heart or not, he always reminded him of Bob.

Perhaps he was emotionally connected to Eddy. Seeing him comforted his agitated mind.

"Sir, don't worry. I will behave well." Eddy took the man's hand and smiled sincerely.

Tears welled up in the man's eyes. He swept Eddy into a tight embrace and began to sob uncontrollably. Eddy's petite body was as soft and warm as Bob's.

Bob's father had missed holding his son and sought solace in Eddy's presence.

Anne sighed helplessly. "I have asked the makeup artist to draw a scar on Eddy's chest. Seeing that would convince Bob's mother."

The artist was the best in the industry. Every stroke on Eddy's chest looked like a scar -- no one could tell that it was makeup.

Bob's father sniffed loudly; his eyes shone with gratitude. He clutched Eddy's hand and walked towards the ward.

Anne took a deep breath and followed them.

When they arrived at the room, she stopped outside and let Eddy inside. Her presence might confuse the woman, so she stood by the door and looked inside, in case something happened.

Bob's mother was sitting on the bed. She looked frail; her hair had turned grey. The woman was holding a doll in her arms and looked at it with tender, loving eyes as if it were her child. She was talking to the doll, a morbid smile stretched across her lips. Anne couldn't hear what she was telling but understood that the woman was expressing her love.

Bob's parents gave birth to him at an old age. However, the boy had inherited rare blood disease. His parents had tried their best to save him, but the problems Kim had created only seemed to complicate everything. Unable to cope with the condition, Bob left them. They thought that God would bless them with another child but didn't imagine that he would be cruel enough to take their second child as well.

No mother could bear such a devastating loss.

Anne's eyes glinted with pity and concern for the woman.

Holding Eddy's hand, Bob's father trudged towards his wife. "Look who has come to see you," he whispered in her ear.

Bob's mother sat motionless as if she didn't hear a thing.

The man sighed and looked at Eddy. As if understanding his emotion, Eddy stepped closer and held her arm.

The warmth of his fingers seeped into her skin. Bob's mother trembled and lifted her head to look at him. Her eyes widened when she saw Eddy.
