There was peace for a while. Then, one day, Anne and Kevin visited Sam. They brought flowers and
fruits for him.
But when they entered his room, the bed was empty!
With a raised eyebrow, Anne stared at Kevin. "Have Sam and Emily reconciled?"
She still hadn't forgotten what happened that day at the hospital. Additionally, Emily hadn't contacted
her lately.
Kevin gave a slight nod. "Well, I have no idea how many apologies Sam has to make for Emily to
forgive him."
Anne nodded and wanted to ask another thing. However, the couple suddenly showed up. As such,
she sealed her lips.
Emily assisted Sam as they approached Kevin and Anne. Sam was talking something to Emily with his
head lowered, a gentle smile plastered on his face. Emily raised her head and smiled back.
The scene made the lovely couple look as if they came out of a beautiful painting.
Meanwhile, Anne and Kevin smiled as they looked at each other. Despite the conflict that happened
between them, it was great that they reconciled at that time.
Then, Emily and Sam realized that they had company. With a slight frown, the former looked at Anne
and lowered her head, as if to avoid eye contact.
With raised eyebrows, Anne stepped forward and smiled. "Congratulations on getting engaged."
Sam slowly shook his head and said in a serious tone, "Anne, that's not right. Emily and I are already
married. It is only that the wedding is delayed because of my injury. I really feel sorry to her. I promise I
will give her a luxurious wedding after I am discharged from the hospital."
He got confused when Emily lost her temper recently. Although he apologized several times, she didn't
forgive him. In the end, he suggested that they file a marriage license first to appease her.
She was silent for a while. Then, with a nod, she nodded in agreement. It was only after getting the
marriage certificate that Emily forgave him.
But whenever he asked why she was angry, Emily would act cold. As such, he still didn't know the
reason for her anger.
Surprised, Anne gaped at Emily. The former smiled with narrowed eyes and said, "Well,
congratulations to both of you. Don't forget to invite us to the wedding!"
Emily quietly looked at her and slightly frowned. However, she immediately relaxed her strained
expression and slowly nodded. There were no more signs of their once intimate interaction anymore.
Kevin nodded as Anne looked back at him. A strange atmosphere radiated between the four of them.
Since they had nothing but awkwardness, the two visitors decided to leave after a rather short stay.
While in the car, Anne frowned as she stared at Kevin in confusion. "Kevin, do you have any idea why
Emily's in a bad mood? I already apologized for what happened last time. But I don't think she's mad
because of that."
With a smile, Kevin gave a slight nod.
Emily felt a sting in her heart. Since she loved Sam so much, Kevin knew that Sam could address her
fears. Only then would she return to normal.
However, some things shouldn't be rushed. If Anne got involved, it might only worsen the situation.
As such, they could only wait for Emily to calm down.
"Well, women always feel something wrong for a few days every month," Kevin said with a playful
smile.
Anne looked at him and rolled her eyes.
Meanwhile, Emily was in the hospital. She had a slight smile as she peeled an apple for Sam. With a
perplexed look, he asked her, "Emily, don't you and Anne get along well? Why were you acting cold
towards her earlier?"
"Is that so? I didn't notice it. Maybe I was talking too much with you that I was too exhausted to speak
with her." As she reasoned out, Emily unconsciously stopped peeling.
A helpless look painted Sam's face as he shook his head.
She resumed cutting the apple and placed them in front of him.
Earlier, he was the one who told Anne about them getting their marriage certificate. It was beyond
Emily's expectations and satisfied her somewhat.
As such, regardless of their past, she was Sam's lawful wife.
Nothing could separate her from him anymore.
"Sam, I already told you that if you really want to marry me, always remember that I am the most
important woman in your life." Emily carefully put an apple slice into his mouth with a toothpick. Then,
she lowered her eyes and said in a soft voice, "Since you promised me, don't forget it."
A confused expression clouded Sam's face as he couldn't do anything about it. Immediately, he
embraced her and kissed her hair. "I thought everything clearly before deciding to marry you. You're the
most important woman for me. That will never change!"
She smiled and slowly closed her eyes. Whether Sam was telling the truth or not, she promised to
make it come true.
Anne and Kevin arrived at the Fu family's house. As they entered, they saw Rose playing with Sally.
The couple looked at each other with raised eyebrows.
Although it had been some time that Rose acted like she had changed, it was still uneasy to see her
smile so cordially again.
"Anne, welcome back!" she said when she noticed Anne and Kevin standing by the door. With Sally in
her arms, she approached the couple. A look of admiration painted her face. "Anne, you're very lucky.
Sally and Eddy are so adorable and cute!"
With a stiff smile, Anne gave a quick nod before heading upstairs.
A disappointed expression painted Rose's face. Since she did something wrong, there were
consequences for her to face. However, she had no idea when Anne would forgive her.
Kevin squinted his eyes and looked at Rose from head to toe. A trace of disgust flashed across her
face when she met his gaze. She was about to leave when he said, "Rose, what do you think about
Anne?"
Immediately, she answered without any hesitation, "My sister is the most important person for me. I
value her more than my life!"
His jaw dropped.
Shaking his head, he turned around and left. Rose frowned as she tightly embraced Sally.
The kid smiled and kissed her on the forehead. Immediately, Rose blushed and admired how cute her
sister's child was.
Meanwhile, Sam was finally discharged from the hospital. He was so excited to prepare for his wedding
with Emily.
He also sent Anne and Kevin an invitation.
Fortunately, Sally and Eddy were in great health during the preparation. The bone marrow transplant
successfully treated that latter's leukemia.
Nonetheless, no one let their guard down. Even with his leukemia, Eddy still had a heart condition. It
was like a time bomb that could explode any time.
The search for a suitable heart donor put a heavy burden on everyone else. Up to that moment, they
still hadn't found a match.
However, it was not a reason for them to give up.
Additionally, Kevin and Anne grew more worried about Simon as time went by. Thanks to Rose's
description, they found Kim's house. Unfortunately, Kim was cunning enough to move to a new location
before they could find him.
H City was quite large. Searching for a few people was rather difficult. Despite Kevin's abilities, he
remained helpless about the situation.
On the other hand, amidst their desperation, there was a thin silver lining. Sam and Emily had set their
wedding date.
The morning of the event, Anne and Kevin wanted to bring their kids with them. Unfortunately, Sally
caught a mild cold.
But since Sam was marrying Emily, Anne and Kevin were supposed to be there. Additionally, Selma
should also be present.
Anne revealed a worried face as she looked at Sally's situation.
"The last time I spoke with Emily, she was rather cold. If I go to her wedding, I might ruin her most
important day. Maybe I should stay here and take care of Sally instead," she said as she glanced at
Rose.
Although Rose was doing better lately, Anne still wasn't confident to leave the child to her.
Kevin and Selma reluctantly nodded. Since they went to the wedding to congratulate the new couple,
they should avoid any troubles.
A heavy sigh escaped Kevin's lips. He promised to talk with Sam after the wedding about the situation
between Anne and Emily.
Soon, Kevin and Selma left for the wedding. Rose stood quietly and frowned.
In a cold tone, Anne asked with raised eyebrows, "What's the matter?"
Rose slightly shook her head and immediately smiled. "It's nothing. I'm fine."
However, she felt something was wrong deep inside her.
With Sally in her arms, Anne headed to the room and ignored Rose. The child fell asleep because of
the cough medicine.
Anne reached her hand out and playfully rubbed Sally's chubby cheeks as her mind wandered off.
Simon was rather thin when they last met. She had no idea about his current condition.
Deep inside, she wished for the day she could reunite with her son.
A deep sigh escaped her lips as her eyes welled up. At that moment, a person was standing by the
door. The person revealed a complex look before leaving.
Anne didn't notice it all.
After some time, the door opened again. Rose gave a faint smile as she handed a glass of water to
Anne. "Anne, have a drink."
Without much thought, Anne took the glass and drank a few mouthfuls. Then, she put the glass on the
table beside the bed.
With a yawn, she slowly swayed her head. She pecked Sally's cheek before closing her eyes.
Kevin's torment the night before might have caused her to feel a little sleepy.
Meanwhile, Kevin and Selma finally arrived at the wedding. Sam, a handsome man, and Emily, a
gorgeous lady, were a perfect match.
Emily approached them while holding Sam's arms. Confused, the latter raised his eyebrows and asked,
"Where's Anne?"
With a gentle smile, Kevin glanced at Emily. However, she immediately lowered her head to avoid his
gaze. In a light tone, he explained, "She's at home taking care of Sally. The little critter has a cold. My
mother and I are here to congratulate you two."
Sam didn't think much of the situation since it was normal for children to get sick. He nodded and smile.
It was more than enough that Kevin was there to attend their wedding. He decided not to dwell on
Anne's absence.
Emily finally raised her head and watched Sam's expression. A sigh of relief escaped her mouth when
she noticed that Sam wasn't displeased. She guessed that Anne was not that important for
Sam.
