"All right, all right. Anne's foot is hurt. Quit being so mean." Holding Kevin's arm intimately, she almost
pressed her whole body against him.
When she talked to him, all his troubles seemed to disappear. It didn't matter how much he despised
Anne.
"Well, let's go. I don't want to be around her one more minute than I have to."
Kevin held Cherry's hand and walked out.
"Wait!" A second later, Cherry stopped Kevin.
"Your coat's still here. I think it's dirty. I'll get the servant to wash it for you tomorrow."
She walked to Anne's bedside, picked up the coat Anne had worn earlier and gave her a defiant look.
But when she turned to look at Kevin, the defiant look had been replaced with a soft, gentle one. She
was such a chimera, able to change her expression so radically, and so quickly.
"Just throw the coat away. It's appropriate, considering she has worn it."
Kevin looked at the coat that Anne had just worn with a frown. He took it from Cherry, looked at her,
and threw it in the trash.
When Anne watched him do this, her heart was deeply hurt. He did it unflinchingly, too, like it was the
most natural action in the world.
Even the coat she had worn was nothing but trash to him.
Cherry acted agitated, but she said his name with a bratty smile, "Kevin..."
"I get it, honey. I can read your mind. You're too kind, but it's not worth it to waste time on such a
woman!"
Kevin rubbed Cherry's nose in a disgustingly cutesy way, a gentle smile in his black eyes.
Looking at the two love birds, Anne felt so heartbroken that she could not breathe.
She turned her face away from them and tried to hide her pain from him.
It almost seemed like Kevin was tender and caring toward Cherry, and disdainful to Anne.
"Good night, Anne. I'll come by to see you tomorrow." After she said that, Cherry took Kevin's arm and
left.
Kevin closed the door, leaving Anne alone with her emotions. There was no need to hide them
anymore.
She sniffed and forced herself not to cry. She had been hurt so many times and was used to it by now.
Why was she still crying?
Maybe because her heart hurt so much? Why did she feel as if someone were squeezing her heart
when she saw the two of them show their love for each other?
Cherry started in on Kevin the moment the door was closed. She was angry and jealous, and started
demanding answers. "What happened between you and Anne? How did her foot get hurt?
And why was she wearing your coat?"
Raising his dashing eyebrows, Kevin fired back at her, smiling. "Jealous?"
"Would you think that I'm petty by asking such questions?" Cherry looked at Kevin with hesitation and
worry. There was hurt in her big watery eyes.
Rubbing Cherry's nose again, Kevin whispered in her ear, "I'm happy you're jealous. It proves you love
me."
Hearing his answer, Cherry blushed shyly, with her beautiful eyes full of tenderness.
"What about Anne? What are you going to do with her? When are you sending her back?"
Cherry had not been happy since Anne moved into Kevin's villa. She really wanted her to leave as
soon as possible.
"She's still pregnant with my kid. You saw what happened today. I need to protect my child, so she can
stay here until the baby's born."
Cherry was a little disappointed by Kevin's answer. She frowned.
Kevin's words made her anxious and resentful. It was all dependent on Anne. She had only been
pregnant for a month. She had another eight months to go.
Cherry was a little worried. Anne liked Kevin. What if she did something to win his heart while she was
staying there?
She frowned and kept plotting how to get Kevin to kick Anne out.
"What's wrong? You don't want her to stay?" Kevin asked when he saw Cherry's worried look.
"No, it's fine. If Anne lives there with you, it's very convenient for you to take care of her."
Cherry forced a smile. She didn't want him to know any different.
"It's settled then. It's getting late. I'll take you back to your room."
He knew that Cherry was the most considerate woman in the world, and what he liked most was how
gentle and kind she was.
Taking one last worried look at Anne's room, Cherry went upstairs, arm in arm with Kevin.
Kevin stayed with Cherry for a while, and it was late when he came out. Instead of going to bed
immediately, he left the villa to meet up with Alan.
Anne was carrying his baby then, so he would never allow anything to happen to her.
In the VIP room of Heaven on the Earth, Alan kept drinking with two beautiful women in his arms. The
music was deafening, but perfect for a festive mood.
When he saw Kevin come in, Alan waved his hand. The two beautiful women around him immediately
left, and the music stopped.
"Kevin! What do you come for at this late hour?" Alan stood up and walked towards Kevin.
His expression still cold, Kevin frowned and sat down.
"Alan, my wife was kidnapped today. Did you arrange for that to happen?" Without niceties, Kevin cut
to the chase. His eyes were black and focused on the man he considered a friend.
Alan wasn't surprised. In fact, he'd been expecting this conversation, and he figured that was why
Kevin was here.
"Kevin, my sister's in a coma right now, thanks to Anne. Is it wrong for me to want justice?"
The image of his sister lying in the hospital bed was burned in his brain. He was unable to forget about
this, and his eyes were full of hatred. He swore he'd avenge his sister.
"Of course not, but you can't hurt her now!" Kevin didn't show any emotion on his face after hearing
what Alan said.
"You want to protect her? Everyone tells me you two aren't on the best of terms."
Alan's expression was morose, his tone filled with anger. Although he couldn't hurt the person Kevin
wanted to protect, he would never let go of this grudge, not as long as he lived.
"She's pregnant with my kid now. You won't harm anyone in the Fu Family. That includes her.
Remember, I can be vengeful, too."
He'd never let anything happen to Anne, for the sake of their child.
"What? She's pregnant?"
Alan frowned and pretended to be surprised. In fact, he already knew Anne was pregnant, but he
pretended not to know.
"Alan, it's no secret. Come on, admit it. You knew, huh?" Kevin raised his eyebrows. His tone was icy.
With a flicker in his dark eyes, Alan looked away in panic.
"I really didn't know. Don't you believe me, Kevin?"
"Frankly, I don't care if you knew or not. I won't let you harm my child!" Kevin said. He glanced at Alan
coldly as he said this.
"But don't worry. This woman is just a tool to give birth to a baby. As long as the delivery goes
smoothly, then she's all yours after that. You can get your revenge after the baby's born."
Kevin's black eyes reflected a mysterious darkness.
As long as Anne gave birth to his child, his marriage with her would be terminated, and then the two of
them would have nothing to do with each other.
Alan looked at Kevin in surprise. "You can't be serious," he said, his voice full of suspicion.
If what Kevin said was true, it would be much easier for him to avenge his sister after Anne gave birth
to the baby.
"Are you doubting what I said?" Kevin frowned with displeasure, and his dark eyes flashed with
coldness.
"Not at all. I just thought I was hearing things for a sec. I hope you remember what you said."
Since Anne was pregnant with Kevin's child, it was impossible to hurt her. He would have to wait a few
more months and avenge his sister after Anne gave birth to the child!
"Of course! Then I won't disturb you anymore!" After saying this coldly, Kevin stood up and left.
"Ouch, it hurts. Sam, be gentle..." Looking at her red and swollen ankle, Anne was in such pain that
tears welled in her eyes.
"Calm down. Hold on, Anne. Your ankle is swollen like a grapefruit. I need to do this, so the blood
doesn't pool there."
Sam kneaded and skillfully massaged Anne's ankle. His eyes were focused and serious, with a unique
male charm.
"Why were you so careless? You sprained your ankle walking down the road."
Sam sounded distressed and helpless.
Anne didn't tell him that she sprained her ankle when Kevin pushed her. She didn't want to mention his
name then, because the thought of him only made her heart ache.
"I didn't mean to..." Anne didn't intend to sprain her ankle, but she couldn't help it.
"Be more careful when you walk, okay? You're pregnant now. No matter what you do later, you must be
careful. Fortunately, you just sprained your ankle this time. What if you fell?"
Sam continued to nag her as he massaged the ankle.
While she felt his concern, a smile appeared on her face. It felt good to have someone to care about
her.
But when did Sam become so nagging? He used to be a man of few words.
"Well, it's almost done. We should see a significant effect tomorrow. I'll help you apply the medicine
again, and it'll be gone before you know it."
Sam wiped his hands with a towel and quickly reassembled the medical kit.
"Sam, thank you. Thank you for taking care of me all the time..."
When she heard his caring tone, there was a sour feeling in her heart. She had no one to take care of
her until now. Maybe that was what she'd been missing.
