Having stayed by Kevin's side for such a long time, Cherry understood what he meant. He didn't
believe her explanation.
"Kevin, I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry. I know I shouldn't have done that, but I'm really jealous. I'm a human
being. I'm afraid that you will fall in love with Anne and abandon me. I'm sorry. I shouldn't be so selfish!"
Throwing herself into Kevin's arms, Cherry spoke in a hurry, fearing that he would change his opinion of
her because of that matter.
With a displeased frown cutting through his forehead, Kevin pushed the woman away and replied in an
indifferent tone,
"I don't want this kind of thing to happen again. She is pregnant with my child. Until the baby is born, I
will never allow anything bad to happen to her. Do you understand?"
Cherry's actions had really disappointed Kevin that time, making him a little angry too.
"I know. I will never do such a stupid thing again. Please, don't be angry with me."
Feeling Kevin's indifference, Cherry panicked.
"Cherry, I can forgive you this time, but there will be no next time!"
Kevin still couldn't bring himself to scold her harshly. After all, he had always thought that she was the
woman he loved.
"It won't happen again. I won't do anything to make you angry again."
Looking at him in surprise, Cherry wrapped his arms around him and smiled proudly. The fact that he
was not angry with her for what had happened could only mean that she was much more important
than Anne in his eyes.
"I have to go to the hospital. Ask the cook to make some tonic soup and send it there." Irritated, he
lightly pushed Cherry away from his arms.
"Kevin, how is Anne now? Is she feeling better?"
Seeing his gloomy face, Cherry asked that question cautiously. She really hoped to hear him say that
Anne was in a bad condition.
"She is fine now!"
After pronouncing those words with indifference, Kevin turned around and left straight away without
looking back.
Staring at his receding figure with malice in her beautiful eyes, Cherry clenched her fists.
'How lucky Anne is! Nothing happened to her!'
Soon, Kevin arrived at the ward where Anne was hospitalized. Looking at her pale face while she was
sleeping on the bed, he felt a little sorry for her.
He gently smoothed the hair on her forehead with his slender fingers. Even though he was careful,
Anne felt his touch.
She slowly opened her eyes and focused them on Kevin's handsome face. For a moment, her brain
was totally absent.
"Kevin, why are you here?" She was surprised by his presence. Hadn't he left? Why was he still there?
"I am here for you!"
He let out those words in a casual but serious tone.
Staring at him in shock, she felt her heart starting to beat wildly after hearing his words.
"Kevin, in fact, I don't need anyone to take care of me. You are so busy with your work, so you don't
need to worry about it. I can protect the baby in my belly."
As she realized that Kevin's behavior might be only caused by his worry for the baby's well-being, she
felt a wave of disappointment wash over her.
But after all that time, she had learned to disguise her emotions. Kevin didn't even notice the disillusion
in her eyes.
"Anne!"
He glared at her angrily with his piercing dark eyes. 'This damn woman always talks about the baby. I
haven't even mentioned it!'
"What is it? Did I say something wrong?"
Anne asked confused, after sensing the sudden anger in Kevin's voice and seeing the gloominess on
his handsome face.
She recalled quickly her words, and it seemed to her that she didn't say anything wrong. What
happened to that man? Why did he get so angry all of a sudden?
"How dare you say the word 'baby' again?" 'Damn it! She doesn't know what was wrong.
Good, very good! This woman is really heartless.'
"……"
She looked at Kevin in confusion. What happened to him? Could that man be more capricious?
"I thought you were worried about the baby, so..."
Trying to explain herself, Anne kept her voice low. She didn't want Kevin's growing anger to affect her
in any way.
"You didn't understand what I just said. Anne, are you an idiot? Do you really think I'm just worried
about the baby?"
'Damn this woman! How can't she see that I care about her?'
Anne's confusion turned quickly into shock as she tried to make out the meaning of Kevin's words. Did
he indirectly tell her that he cared about her?
But her astonishment only lasted a few seconds. She was well aware that Kevin hated her too much to
be able to care about her.
"Kevin, it's getting late. I want to get some rest."
She didn't want her hopes to transform into disappointment again. She would rather believe that Kevin
had never cared about her.
"Are you sending me away?" His frown deepening, Kevin spoke in a much colder tone. Anne could
always make him angry easily.
"I..."
Glancing at his cold eyes, Anne lowered her head in panic, unable to explain herself.
"Answer my question!"
At her silence, Kevin's face turned even colder. 'This damn woman. Would she die if she said
something to make me feel better? She doesn't know how to please a man with words. I really don't
know why I care about her more and more.'
"I... I didn't mean that. I just think you must be very tired after a whole day's work, so I want you to go
home early and get some rest,"
she said hurriedly, not really meaning those words. She just didn't want to fuel Kevin's anger even
more.
That man was a little moody recently. She had to be careful.
"Really? Anne, you'd better tell the truth, or I will not spare you."
He was satisfied with her explanation.
"I'm telling the truth. It's getting late. Kevin, you'd better go home and get some rest."
She felt a little guilty saying that. All she wanted now was that Kevin could leave as soon as possible.
She always felt depressed when he was around.
"I'll stay here with you tonight."
"……"
Shock spread across her features as she began to doubt his sanity. Since when did he talk to her in
such a gentle tone?
It was not his style at all.
"In... In fact, I can stay here alone. Besides, there are two maids outside. Kevin, you'd better go back
and get a good rest."
However, in her heart, she hoped that he could stay there with her. But his personality was so uncertain
that she felt uncomfortable in his presence.
"Don't make me repeat myself!" 'Damn this woman! Didn't she understand what I just said?'
"I see..."
Lowering her head, Anne stayed silent. She didn't dare to say anything more, fearing that Kevin would
punish her if he was unhappy with her answer.
"But there is only one bed here. Where are you going to sleep?"
Although that was a VIP ward, there was only one bed. If Kevin wanted to stay, there was no place for
him to rest.
"Over there!" He pointed at a sofa not far away from the bed.
Anne couldn't imagine that the famous and powerful boss was going to sleep on a sofa. It wasn't in line
with his identity at all.
"How about I sleep on the sofa and leave the bed to you?" Anne sat up and lifted the quilt, ready to get
out of bed.
She didn't even dare to think about letting a man like Kevin sleep on the sofa.
"Lie down!"
'This damn woman wants to sleep on the sofa. Doesn't she know that she is still very weak? Who is the
patient now?'
Shocked by Kevin's roar, Anne froze in her tracks.
Why did that man get angry for no reason? Was it wrong for her to leave the bed to him? Wasn't it
enough to make him satisfied?
"Anne, don't be silly. Remember, you are a patient now!" Standing up, Kevin stared at Anne sullenly, his
black eyes brimming with anger.
'What is she thinking about? Why does she want me to get the bed?'
Anne looked at Kevin in shock, wondering whether the reason why he got angry all of a sudden was
because he was caring about her.
At that idea, Anne's heart started beating uncontrollably.
She gazed at Kevin with a serious look in her beautiful eyes. For the first time, she could clearly feel
that he cared about her.
Kevin frowned awkwardly and eyed her with discontent. 'Why does this woman keep looking at me like
this? Has she realized that I care about her by now?'
He strode up to her and wrapped his arms around her.
Feeling his warm embrace, Anne felt like she was dreaming. Was that a dream? How could he be so
gentle to her?
Suddenly, the door of the ward flung open and Cherry came in. As she watched the two people
hugging, her face froze and a vicious expression flashed through her beautiful shiny eyes.
'What a bitch! Anne has been seducing Kevin all this time. That's why he cares about her so much,'
Cherry thought.
"How are you, Anne? Are you feeling better?" Trying to suppress her anger, Cherry put on a faint smile
and walked toward the two.
Hearing her voice, Anne frowned uneasily and wiggled out of Kevin's arms.
"What are you doing here? I don't want to see you!" she said coldly, shooting a pointing look at her.
