"Oh, yes, you are also the young master of the Feng Family," Emily said with a grateful smile.
She liked Sam very much and knew that he was more concerned about Anne. But despite feeling sad
about it, she said,
"Oh, If only you were Anne's husband, Sam." Emily frowned at the thought of it. She hated Kevin so
much. He did nothing but bully Anne.
Sam's hand froze when he heard that and in an hoarse voice, he asked, "Why do you say that, Em?"
"Look, since she married Kevin, all he did was just bully her. He is good for nothing. If he hadn't gone
too far, Charles would still be healthy." Emily thumped the table in anger which caught the attention of
the people who were around them then.
"Enjoy your meal. Everyone is looking at you now. And by the way, please don't say that again," Sam
said monotonously.
All of a sudden, Emily got really confused. "Wait, do you not like Anne? I'm pretty sure you do."
Emily had always been someone to speak what was on her mind. She didn't get bitter over the fact that
the person she loved adored another woman. She thought it was useless to mope over something not
meant for her.
"All I want right now is to take good care of her and keep Charles healthy," Sam said after he witnessed
how sincere Emily was.
The sweet smell of flowers and plants filled the room. Although Emily's expression was a little heavy at
first, she felt cheerful later on.
It was not wrong for Sam to like Anne. Anne was naturally a pretty likeable person, after all.
Emily was indeed a little disappointed but she just shrugged it off.
When they both went back, they found that Charles and Anne were both about to sleep.
"Anne, get some sleep. I'll take care of Charles." Emily brought some desserts for Anne from outside.
Her smile was as bright as the sun.
"Alright then." Anne gently handed Charles to Emily and decided to rest even just for a couple of hours.
As soon as Emily went out of the room, she bumped into Sam.
"You finally want to have a rest?" Sam asked jokingly.
"If I have another baby, then Charles's disease can be cured, right?" Anne asked.
"Go and have yourself examined first. Don't be too worried."
He was worried that she would be stimulated because she had been feeling emotional recently.
"Okay." Anne agreed immediately. As long as it would be good for the baby, she would do it.
Meanwhile, in the old house of the Fu Family.
The light in the main room was very bright which made the place look magnificent.
However, the atmosphere was pretty heavy.
"Tell me, who does Anne think she is? How could she just allow Kevin talk back at me for her sake?"
Selma cried to Carl as soon as she came back.
Carl frowned at her behavior which made him feel disgusted.
"Well, are you forgetting that our family owes a lot to Anne? We used to believe in rumors about her
which almost enabled Cherry to hurt the child. She has every reason to hate us."
Carl gave a fair evaluation after she heard Selma complain, but his words only caused Selma to feel
even more resentment for Anne.
"Dad, how can you say that? Everything I did was for Kevin. Even if Anne didn't do anything wrong, her
child is already sick, anyway. How can we even continue to allow that woman to stay in our family?"
After what happened in the hospital, Selma felt a sense of crisis and had decided not to accept Anne,
no matter what.
"That's enough. Haven't you made enough trouble already?" Do you want what happened with Cherry
to happen again?" Carl roared.
Selma knew how powerful Carl was so she had to stop herself from going against him at that instant.
"Dad, of course not. I'm sorry." After saying that, Selma went back to her room to rest, taking the
excuse that she was not feeling well.
"Master, don't be angry. You have to go to bed early today," the servant said.
"Alas, I am indeed getting old. I can't handle my children's affairs anymore." Carl had only seen Anne
twice.
The first time was when he celebrated his birthday where she was taunted by people because of her
clothes. At first, he also felt that she was thoughtless, until he saw her again.
He was sure that this girl was not that easy to get close to, but she was definitely not a bad person.
The Fu Family had always known people well, but for some reason, Kevin and Selma always ended up
being the ones deluded by bad people.
"Let's go back and have a rest." Carl went back to his room with the help of a servant. The hall was
suddenly peaceful again.
The prison was desolate.
It was far different from the downtown where some plants were planted when autumn came. It was
grim here, and the people here were cold to each other.
Cherry, who was used to being praised by everybody, felt unconformable being here.
The date of his appointment with Devin came.
"Cherry, someone is here to see you," said the prison guard coldly. Cherry had a faint smile on her face
when she heard that.
Devin had always been allowed to converse with Cherry face-to-face since he paid them a lot of
money.
"Anything interesting happened lately?" Cherry asked.
"Of course. I have big news for you," Devin said with his eye full of excitement.
He told Cherry that Kevin's child had congenital disease and that his relationship with Anne was
starting to become rough, which immediately made Cherry sneer.
"Did Anne really think she could just live peacefully all of sudden just because she put me in a prison
cell? I want to let her know that it's not gonna be that easy," Cherry snorted and Devin looked at her in
astonishment.
"Cherry, you are already in prison. What are you going to do?" Devin frowned and thought how Cherry
was just as troublesome as her mother was.
"Did Anne find any bone marrow?" Cherry asked.
"How am I supposed to know, Cherry? I'm not a doctor," Devin said with a frown on his face.
"Then promise me one thing." Cherry then whispered something in Devin's ear.
When Devin nodded, her mischievous smile became brighter.
In the Feng Family's house.
The green carpet and the furniture were all freshly-cleaned and polished.
The tables and chairs inside were all exquisite. The biggest difference of the Feng Family from the Fu
Family was that they were not too flamboyant by nature.
In fact, their family was not particularly keen on becoming a first-class group. They believed that for as
long as they could stand firm, they did not have to compete with other families to gather too much
wealth.
It was also because of this environment that Sam developed such a character.
"Sam, my darling, I especially prepared this suitcase for you. Remember to take it with you tomorrow,"
Lynne said with a reassuring smile.
"Mom, you're always like this. I will just have go abroad for a while. Why do you have to be so nervous
about it?" Sam asked helplessly.
Lynne just cast a gentle glance at her son.
"Look at how grown you are now. Kevin is much younger than you are and he even has a child already.
You always say that it's still early to get married," Lynne said with hints of anxiety and concern for her
son in her tone.
"Kevin and I are different, mom. You gotta stop worrying. Did you also forget that I am a doctor?" Sam
reached out his hand to massage her shoulder. He didn't use much strength, just enough to relieve her
fatigue.
"Son, another thing. I know it's none of my business, but can you please stay out of what happened to
Anne? Your aunt is so domineering. It's not a good thing that you care about Anne so much." Lynne
knew everything, but she didn't want Sam to get involved in it. That way, it would cause tension
between the two families.
"Mom, I understand your concern but I don't think it will be a good idea to leave Anne alone, especially
at this time. Besides, you used to like her, didn't you? Unlike the Ye Clan or the Fu Family, the people
of our Feng Family love and help each other. So I don't think it's gonna be such a big deal if I continue
helping her."
Lynne was full of regrets and with a sigh she said, "I know that you like peace and I do, too. But this girl
had suffered a lot already. If only I had known before how a good person she was, I would have let you
marry her instead. But it's too late for that now."
Although she was understanding, she didn't want Sam to live like this for the rest of his life.
"I know. I assure you, I am just taking care of Anne like a friend. Don't worry. I won't do anything wrong.
Don't you believe me?" said Sam, frowning.
"Well, even if I won't urge you myself, I'm sure your father will. If you don't get married soon, your father
might get anxious and force you to marry for our business' sake," Lynne said, wanting to threaten her
son and pretended to be angry.
"Don't worry, mom. I will think about the marriage after I deal with the matter of Anne. It's getting late.
Go to bed early." Then Sam went upstairs with his luggage.
Lynne looked at him with pride in her eyes. Although the Feng Family was not as powerful as the Fu
Family, her child was her greatest pride.
Even though Kevin was a legend, in her eyes, she was more fond of Sam's sympathetic and just
nature.
The morning came and the cold wind blew hard while Anne sat by the corridor. She wore her gray
sweater which wrapped her slender figure.
There were rows of green potted plants behind her that made her look lonely.
She stared blankly into space, lost in thought,
until someone wrapped a blanket around her back which made her come back to her senses.
"What are you doing here? I don't want to see you except for when I have to sleep with you," Anne said
coldly.
In fact, even the thought of having physical contact with Kevin disgusted her, but Anne did not have
much of a choice.
Suddenly, Kevin's hand stopped.
In his heart, he thought it was karma. The pain he had given Anne was being returned to him.
"I'm just afraid that you'll feel cold. I have something to deal with in the company. I'm leaving now,"
Kevin said in a cold voice and pretended not to care.
"Then you can leave now." She clenched her fingers. She also felt bad for hurting Kevin.
The two of them had been wrong from the very beginning. If she hadn't been with him at the time, the
child wouldn't have suffered today.
If she ever gave birth again later on, she most likely would just take the baby with her and leave Kevin.
"Okay." Kevin's heart was deeply hurt by Anne's words, but he still sounded arrogant.
Whenever she hurt Kevin, she'd felt a tinge of pain in her heart but she would just always remind
herself,
'Anne, no matter how much pain you cause him, it will always be less than one-tenth of the pain that he
has caused you.'
