Kevin sat down on the sofa, and poured more than half a glass of red wine for himself. He drank it
slowly, but he already felt tipsy.
Then all of a sudden, he burst into laughter. Everyone knew that he did not get drunk easily. How could
so little red wine intoxicate him now?
His phone kept ringing, and he frowned at the unknown caller. He had no intention of answering it.
After it rang three times, he received a message.
"Are you insane?" He glared at the phone with cold eyes.
Afterwards, the phone rang once more. When he answered the phone, he heard the nagging voice of a
woman. "What the hell do you mean, Kevin? Are you making a fool out of me? Even if our L Group isn't
better than AN Group, that doesn't mean that we're not one of the best! You were so impolite to me,
and you left me hanging! Are you even human?"
Hearing the drunken voice, Kevin broke into laughter again. "Yes, you're right. I just don't like you. What
can you do? I'm a scum that enjoys inflicting pain on other people. It doesn't matter if you don't forgive
me. This is just how I am!"
After his snide response, Kevin threw his phone against the wall, causing it to shut down.
In the Starry Hotel, the dim lights illuminated the rooms and gave it an elegant ambiance. But out of all
the rooms, the presidential suite was the most luxurious.
A bedroom was connected to the small living room. The duplex style was indeed luxurious. There was
a staircase in the middle, which led directly to the second floor.
Rose was wearing a night gown with a mask on her face, but her eyes were brimming with anger. Her
long legs were exposed, and she looked a little sexy.
However, the only disappointment was the myriad of bottles in front of her that filled the room with the
repugnant smell of alcohol.
"Kevin, you're insane!" Rose gritted her teeth.
Since she lost against Kevin in the meeting last time, he was deliberately toying with her. In a span of
three days, every two hours, he would send her a bowl of red dates porridge, some ginseng tea, and all
kinds of blood-enriching foods.
On the surface, he said it was for her own good, and that it was a token of the friendship between the
two companies. But in reality, he was just trying to taunt her.
"This man is awful. If he keeps this up, I'm going to be tortured to death," Rose murmured.
Her face was turning reddish because of the alcohol, and her eyes were beginning to blur. Somehow,
she looked simple but charming.
She rushed out of her room, inebriated. A waiter had been waiting outside, smiling, and carrying a tonic
in his hands.
"Hello. Miss Rose."
Suddenly, the door was slammed shut. Rose looked like she had seen a ghost. "Oh my God, it's
coming again!"
On the third day, when Rose told Kevin that she had completely recovered, she was relieved that he
stopped sending her care packages.
In the East Mountain Villa.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when Anne managed to cradle Edward to sleep.
Since eight in the morning, Edward had been crying, so Anne didn't get a moment to rest. At this time,
her hair had gotten a little messy, and her face turned a little pale. When she was about to rest, she
received a strange phone call.
"Hello, are you Anne Luo? Are you free today? I need to see you!" The person on the other side
sounded tough, and Anne had an intuition that the person was not friendly.
She replied, "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. Just come out and see me." The arrogant voice reminded Anne of Wendy.
"Sorry, I don't have the time." Anne hung up the phone decisively.
Thankfully, the person didn't call her a second time. She thought it was just some random person trying
to provoke her. Maybe Kevin had done something wrong outside?
Anyway, it was none of her business.
But after a while, her phone rang again. It was Kevin. When she saw the number again, her face
darkened. She wanted to hang up, but somehow she still answered the phone,
"Kevin, what's the matter?" Her voice was cold.
The sweet voice of a woman responded, "Are you the one Kevin likes?"
Obviously, the woman on the other line was a bit surprised. She thought the person Kevin liked was
supposed to be gentle and charming, but she did not expect that Anne would turn out to be so frigid.
"It doesn't matter. If you like him, just take him. There is nothing left between us anymore, just take
him!" Anne was annoyed to hear the woman's question. She was barely handling Edward's affairs, so
she had no interest in the heroine of Kevin's scandal.
"Is that so?" The voice on the other end of the line was hesitant, but she sounded kind.
"I'm sorry. I don't have anything to do with Kevin. But he's in the hospital right now, getting his stomach
pumped because of all the alcohol he's been drinking. You should come and see him." Then the person
hung up the phone.
Anne's mood turned stale when she heard the beeping sound of the phone.
'What happened to Kevin?' she muttered.
She left the baby to the servant and drove to the hospital near the Starry Hotel.
There were many people in the hospital. Through the slightly crowded corridor, Anne saw the
consulting desk.
"Excuse me, is there a person named Kevin here?" Her voice sounded calm, but there were glints of
uneasiness in her eyes.
"Hang on, I'll check the registry," the person said politely.
After a minute, she said, "Room 4305."
"Thanks!" Anne immediately made her way to the room.
The door of the ward was half-open, so Anne could see everything inside.
She saw the white bed sheet, the side of Kevin's pale face, and a woman.
She couldn't see the woman's face because she had her back to the door. The woman was dressed in
a pink suit, her long ivory legs exposed, and she wore an elegant white high-heeled shoes; she looked
so young and sweet.
Seeing that Kevin was awake, Anne felt that it didn't matter if she came to see him or not. She
hesitated for a few seconds and finally left with her handbag.
"Is that you, Anne?" The woman's voice sounded pleasant but hesitant.
At that moment, Anne turned her head and saw the person who spoke. It was none other than Rose.
"Hello. You should take good care of him. I'm leaving," Anne said. She was not interested in Kevin's
private affairs at all.
"Why are you leaving? Is everyone in AN Group like this? One was reluctant to sign the contract with
me, and the other went too far. I've already transfused 400cc of blood to him. You don't really have to
thank me, but isn't it going too far if you asked me to take care of him?" Rose clenched her fists.
Hearing that, Anne finally realized that this woman really had nothing to do with Kevin.
"You saved Kevin, the president of AN Group. You don't need me to thank you. Someone else will do
that. I'm leaving." After the cold remark, Anne disappeared from Rose's sight.
"So this is the most unique person in Kevin's phone. Her temper is something else. I like her too!" Rose
flashed a knowing grin.
"Our CEO has something to say to you. Please come in," the assistant walked out and said to Rose.
"No, I'm sorry but I can't. Find a nurse to help him. I have something to deal with. I have to go now!"
Rose was angry with the assistant's words. She turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait! I won't treat you unfairly. You saved me." Rose was startled when she realized that Kevin was
already behind her.
"No. thanks. You have been working day and night, and now you're sick. I wouldn't dare to bother you. I
would appreciate it if you would just stop fooling me around," Rose snorted.
But after taking a few steps, she turned her head and said to Kevin, "By the way, can you tell me more
about Anne? She has great personal charisma, just like a queen. I like her!"
Kevin was speechless. How dare she try to get her hands on his woman?
His eyes turned cold, and his assistant's face began to sweat. The assistant stared at Rose with relief.
She should be glad that she was born a woman!
"I'm not telling you anything. You can leave." Kevin just went out of the ward to look for Anne. Now that
she had left, he had to go back to have a rest.
Seeing that Kevin, who still looked handsome even in the hospital gown strode into his ward without
saying anything else, Rose frowned and said, "You don't really have to give it to me if you don't want to,
but how could you treat your savior like this?"
With that, Rose decided that it was best to leave.
Kevin lay on the bed, coldly staring at the ceiling. After suffering from a gastric hemorrhage, he looked
much thinner than usual, exuding a depressingly chilling aura.
'How cruel Anne is! She didn't even come to see me when I'm suffering like this!'
As he battled with his thoughts, he smiled bitterly as he closed his eyes to rest.
"This is your porridge, try it!" When he opened his eyes, Kevin thought that it was Anne, so he was
overjoyed. But then he found that it was just Rose who resembled Anne in appearance. He turned his
face away.
"What are you doing here?" His glacial voice frightened Rose.
"I'm here to visit you. You're a patient, I won't argue with you. If you don't eat, it doesn't matter. I'll just
throw it away." Rose opened the box, and the fragrance filled the air. Its fragrant smell reminded him of
the porridge Anne had cooked for him before.
"Give it to me," Kevin said blankly.
"Here you go. It's supposed to be delicious," said Rose.
She smiled as she watched him finish the porridge.
"Why are you here?"
He still sounded arrogant. She felt that his attitude was particularly bad, so she didn't want to answer
this question.
"If you have some questions, we can talk about them later. I'll dispose of the food container first."
Then she went out with the food box. On the corridor of the hospital, Anne was sitting on a chair. She
stared at the wall and seemed to be thinking, but Rose didn't know what she was thinking of.
"Why don't you give it to him by yourself? I'm sure he would've been very happy to see you. Shouldn't
you try to seize his heart?" Rose asked in confusion.
"There's no need." Anne's voice held the same indifference as Kevin's.
"You two have a similar temper. Since you feel that you don't need to take care of him, why did you
cook for him yourself?" Rose asked curiously.
However, Anne grabbed the lunch box and prepared to leave.
