Attracted By My Ex-wife

Anne and Kevin's close friends all went to the hospital to show their support after they got the news about Eddy's relapse. They waited anxiously outside the operating room. The only person absent was Emily, who was about to give birth to her baby.

Patients walking in and out of the hospital looked at this group of stunning modelesque people in awe. A few of them even recognized Kevin and Anne. People murmured around them, causing a buzz.

Of course, Kevin and Anne were not in the mood for this and just ignored everything.

Sam raised his fingers to his temples, and rubbed his temples in gentle circles. He had just performed three consecutive, tedious surgeries. Before he had even a moment's rest, he heard news of Eddy's state.

They were not worried about the actual transplant procedure. What concerned them was Eddy's reaction to the heart after surgery.

Some people who underwent the surgery immediately rejected the heart after surgery, while others took some time before showing any sort of reaction. They could not anticipate how Eddy would respond to the procedure. All was left in God's hands now. Many felt very helpless as there was nothing they could do at all. It made them understandably a little crazy.

Time passed slowly. It was so quiet. It felt as if one could even hear the sound of a single heartbeat.

Standing in a corner with red, puffy eyes, Ella bit her lip and dared not make a single sound.

Out of nowhere, a figure appeared before her. She raised her head expectantly, disappointed to see it was Sam. Her dismay was apparent on her face.

'Eddy, this was all my fault. Will you even talk to me after this? And Mommy Anne... you treated me like your own, you were always so kind. Will you talk to me after all of this?

But I didn't mean for this to happen. I just wanted to see my father. I need to see him.' Ella's thoughts were hounding her.

"Ella, Eddy is in the operating room now. Do you want to go see him?" Sam asked considerately.

Ella nodded, looking at Sam expectantly.

"Ella, I can promise you that you will see Eddy if you want. But you have to tell me the truth. Who did you see after you left the Fu Family's house?" Sam tried to keep his voice calm and even as he asked her this.

Hearing this question, Anne raised her eyebrows in curiosity. But her look immediately became grim once again.

Now that her darling son was lying in hospital and was going through a serious operation, his life was in danger, and nothing else mattered. As for this problem, she couldn't care less.

Ella pursed her lips and looked at Sam. She was clearly having some sort of internal struggle.

"Ella, you are almost five years old now. You should know who are people that you can trust, who treats you well and takes care of you, and who doesn't. You should never believe anyone who has not earned your trust." Placing his hand gently on her face, Sam continued, "Why do you trust that person, instead of us? Besides, you haven't even told Eddy who that person was either, right? Maybe that is what made Eddy so angry."

"Did Eddy get so worked up because of this?" When she heard Eddy's name, her little face lit up.

Sam nodded slightly.

Biting her lips, she now seemed to have decided to make her choice. She responded, "It is the man in the photo."

"Photo?" Sam asked, quizzically.
