"Okay!" Looking at Kevin, Selma nodded and shouted, "My son! My dear son!
It looks like you are completely hypnotized by this woman. You can't even tell the difference between
right and wrong. In that case, I think it's better if I go far away and never appear in front of you again!"
After speaking, Selma began to walk towards the door.
Kevin frowned and felt a piercing headache. His mother had never been so hard to deal with.
Eddy, who was hiding in the corner, shook his head helplessly and ran out to hold Selma's leg.
Selma lowered her head to see who it was. When her eyes caught sight of Eddy's big and watery eyes,
her heart softened.
"Grandma, don't go. Eddy won't let you go," Eddy pleaded, his eyes welling up with tears. He looked at
Selma pitifully.
He grew up around Selma, so she loved him very much. As she saw Eddy look so miserable, the anger
inside her dissipated. She squatted down and held him in her arms.
"Act like a big boy. Please don't cry. I won't leave. I will always be with you, Eddy."
Looking at the scene in front of her, Anne let out a sigh of relief.
Selma truly loved Eddy.
Selma was Kevin's mother and her mother-in-law. Their strained relationship was making things quite
difficult for Kevin.
Moreover, AN Group would also suffer if this news spread.
Anne walked towards Selma with Sally in her arms.
Frowning, Selma looked at Anne and held Eddy tightly, her eyes full of vigilance.
With a sigh, Anne said to Sally in a soft voice, "Sally, this is your grandmother. Talk to her."
With her eyes wide open, Sally looked at Anne. Then she slowly turned around and her eyes fell on
Selma. Softly, she said, "Grandma."
For a long time, there was only Eddy in the family. But now, she was blessed with a beautiful
granddaughter. Internally, Selma was brimming with happiness.
When Selma heard Sally's voice, she was quite touched.
Instinctively, she reached out and held her in her arms. A smile appeared on Selma's face. Softy, she
said, "Sally, I'm sorry that I scared you this morning. Don't be afraid of me. I will take good care of you
in the future. Okay, honey? I sincerely apologize."
Kevin smiled watching the spectacle unraveling before his eyes. Selma might act unreasonably at
times but he had to admit she was very good with children. Moreover, she rarely apologized. This went
to show how sincere her apology was.
The harmonious shift in the atmosphere brought a great deal of joy to Kevin.
"Mom, I know you did all this for my own good, but I really hope you will accept my decisions." Kevin
paused to hold Anne's head. He went on, "I know you don't like Anne very much, but she has given
birth to three children. Can't you accept her at least? Think about your grandchildren. I want nothing but
for us to live happily."
Selma looked up at her son in surprise.
Her son was a cold man, and it was rare for him to show his emotions. However, today he was
pleading.
"Grandma, I not only want Grandma, but also father and mother. We are a family. We shouldn't be
apart," said Eddy, holding Sally's hand.
Confused, Sally immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Grandma, I want all of us to be together."
"Ha-ha..." Selma couldn't help but smile at Sally's innocence. Clearing her throat, she said, "Anne, to
be honest, I don't really like you. But now, for my son and grandchildren, I'm willing to give you a
chance. If you don't do well, then it will be your fault. I am willing to give this relationship another
chance."
At this point, Selma finally understood that if she continued to make things difficult for Anne, not only
her son, but also her grandson and granddaughter would hate her.
She had a lot to lose. There was only one choice and that was to give Anne another chance.
Anne was taken aback by her words.
Eyes filled with joy, Anne started nodding her head.
"Mom, don't worry. I will try my best to prove myself a good daughter-in-law," she promised. Her tone
was confident. Since she could even excel in something so difficult as designing, she believed that as
long as she worked hard, she would impress Selma and make her really accept her one day.
Selma glanced at her with disdain. Not wanting to make her distain obvious, she went upstairs with
Sally and Eddy in her arms.
As Anne looked at Selma's receding figure, a faint smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.
Kevin shook his head and said, "My mother is a wise woman."
Nodding her head, Anne poured herself a glass of water and moistened her mouth. "Today, you didn't
take your mother's side. You mother seemed to understand the adversity of the situation. She can see
that if she continues to make trouble like this, she is the one who will have more to lose."
Even though Selma pretended like she was being easy on Anne, it wasn't the case. She did it only for
her son and grandchildren. She compromised, but in fact, it was a win-win result.
By now, Sally had overcome her fear of Selma. Selma, on the other hand, was already growing fond of
her. She now had a lovely granddaughter, and had made peace with her son.
Kevin took the cup from Anne's hand and said, "Isn't this the best result?"
Anne nodded her head. Indeed things had fallen back to place. She was very grateful for that.
However, they had more important things to do now as Simon was still in Kim's hands. 'Is Simon being
treated well?' she couldn't help but wonder.
Anne kept telling herself her son would be fine. But her motherly heart insisted on being worried.
Kim did a great job at hiding his whereabouts. Kevin did everything he could but failed to find where
they were.
"Don't worry. Kim hasn't achieved his goal yet. He will take good care of Simon. Even if we don't look
for him, he will come to us one day," Kevin assured her.
Anne was worried but managed to nod her head.
"Anne, how about we take advantage of the time we have and recuperate Sally's body and give Eddy
her bone marrow?" Kevin suggested, looking straight into Anne's eyes.
Frowning, Anne looked out of the window. The sun was setting, and the surrounding sky was dyed light
red. It looked quite beautiful.
The reason why she gave birth to Sally and Simon was to save Eddy.
Eddy was her son and she was determined to keep him alive.
"Then go and check if Sally could be the match," Anne said, her voice reeking with sadness.
Although Sally was a little girl, it wouldn't cause any harm if they took good care of her.
Kevin nodded and hugged Anne, slightly feeling guilty about what they were going to do.
When Sally and Simon were born, Kevin hadn't been with Anne. Now that Sally had come back, he
didn't have any time for fun. Instead, his interests lay in matching their blood type.
Even though he felt like a terrible father, he had no choice.
In the room, Selma patiently watched Sally and Eddy play together. Her eyes were filled with love.
Eddy handed the toy to Sally.
Sally was in high spirits, but Eddy's face suddenly changed. His body tilted and he fell down from the
bed.
Selma was shocked "What has happened to Eddy?" she exclaimed.
Due to Kevin's and Anne's special blood type, Eddy had been diagnosed with leukemia since he was a
child. They had done everything to keep his illness in control but he hadn't recovered.
As Eddy lay under the bed, his face suddenly turned purple and his body curled up in pain. He wanted
to open his mouth to speak, but he found that his tongue had gone numb.
At this moment, he couldn't help but cry out of pain. After all, he was just a child. This was more than
he could bear.
"Kevin! Anne! Come here quickly. Eddy has fallen ill!" Selma screamed as soon as she found her voice.
As Anne and Kevin heard this, their faces changed. They rushed upstairs.
Selma had managed to carry Eddy to the bed. His chubby little face and lips had turned purple.
What did purple indicate? Everyone knew the answer to this. Purple signified death!
"Eddy? Eddy, what's wrong with you? Open your eyes and look at me, Eddy..." Anne stepped forward
and hugged him tightly.
"Go to the hospital! Hurry up!" Kevin stepped forward and climbed down the stairs with Eddy in his
arms.
Without any hesitation, Anne followed him.
Selma gritted her teeth, looked at Sally who seemed confused. Immediately, she went towards her and
held her in arms.
All of them followed Kevin, their hearts thudding against their chest.
"Eddy, open your eyes and look at me. You are the most obedient boy. Won't you listen to your
mother?"
Along the way, Anne held Eddy tightly and tried to wake him with her gentle words.
Gritting his teeth, Kevin drove at a high speed. Traffic made things difficult for him. After running many
red lights, he finally arrived at the hospital.
Once Eddy entered the operating room, it seemed like every ounce of energy had left Anne's body. She
leant against the wall for support but ended up falling onto the ground.
'How could this happen all of a sudden?' she kept thinking.
"Eddy's leukemia has been under control. Why did this happen?" Selma broke the silence.
Kevin lifted Anne up and put her on the seat. He held his forehead in frustration. His heart was beating
so fast that it would jump out of his body any minute.
He couldn't believe how this had happened. The family was reunited and everything was going well.
And all of a sudden, this terrible incident happened!
He stared firmly at the door of the operating room. The thought his son was in pain hurt him.
Time passed slowly as everyone was in agony.
Anne kept looking at the door. Her eyes were red, but tears wouldn't fall.
'Eddy will be fine! He will be absolutely fine,' she chanted in her mind.
"Mom, my brother will be fine, won't he?" Sally pulled Anne's top and asked softly. That little girl was
quite frightened for what happened to her brother.
Nodding solemnly, Anne held Sally in her arms and said firmly, "Yes, he will be fine. He will come out
any second. You'll see him soon, so don't worry."
Kevin reached out and held the two in his arms, frowning at the operating room.
'Eddy, you must get better. Your Mom and I are waiting for you outside!' he prayed.
"Ding!"
A clear sound rang in everyone's ears. They stood up in a hurry, watching the door of the operating
room open.
The doctor looked tired. As soon as he walked out of the operating room, they went and queried him.
"Doctor, how's it going? How's Eddy now?"
The doctor's expression was very serious. With a sigh, he said, "Because of the strange characteristic
of blood, the child is not only diagnosed with leukemia now, but also has a weak heart. If you hadn't
brought him here in time, his heart would have stopped!"
His words were like a slap against Anne's face. She stood frozen for a few seconds and burst into
tears. 'How did this happen? Why is my boy's health becoming worse?
He is such a dear boy! Why is he being attacked by all these diseases! He doesn't deserve this!' she
though and began to cry.
Selma's face froze. She looked at the doctor in disbelief. Grabbing his hand, she asked, "Doctor, what
do you mean by that? What happened to Eddy?"
The doctor sighed and looked even more embarrassed. "There is a recessive heart disease in the
blood!"
Heart disease!
These two words struck them like a bolt of lightning.
The poor child, who was already quite sick, had a heart disease to deal with!
'No!' Anne thought and shook her head vehemently. She couldn't let him die. Her son wouldn't give in
to this heart disease!
"Doctor, does he need a heart transplant for it?" Anne looked at the doctor hopefully and went on, "If he
gets one, will he survive?"
