"Sam! Aren't you supposed to be at your wedding right now? Why are you here?" Anne gaped, his
presence taking her by surprise. She had felt that things were amiss as soon as she saw him.
Sam shook his head, his shoulders dropped in helplessness. "Emily and I are finished with our
wedding. Besides, I couldn't watch you be in danger any longer."
Hearing that, Anne smiled. Sam was a good friend indeed.
"What are you guys doing?" A cold voice rang, full of dissatisfaction.
Sam and Anne turned their heads to see Emily standing nearby. Her eyes were locked on their
intertwined hands.
Sam frowned. The effect of the drugs in Anne's body hadn't faded yet. Despite what it looked like, he
was only supporting her, afraid that she might fall to the ground.
Instinctively, Sam pulled his hand back. As he took a deliberate step back, Anne finally managed to
stand firmly on the ground.
However, the entertainment reporters had already taken their photos.
Emily, dressed in a long white gown, stood and stared at Sam. Her eyes were brimming with tears as
she struggled in silence.
She was left alone to deal with the many guests at her wedding, while Sam had gone. She had come to
look for him and found him holding Anne, already having forgotten her existence.
'Good job, Sam! Is this the love you spoke about?' Emily cursed quietly.
'His sweet words meant nothing when his heart was still yearning for his true love.'
"Emily, listen to me. This isn't what it looks like..." Due to her recent suspicion that he was still in love
with Anne, Sam didn't skip a beat in giving an explanation. However, before he could finish his words,
he was interrupted by Emily.
"You don't have to explain, I know you have nothing to do with her. Anne lost her balance and you were
only helping her!" Emily breathed deeply, raising the corners of her mouth.
Hearing her, Sam was stunned into silence before heaving a sigh of relief. "I’m glad that there's no
misunderstanding!"
A faint smile appeared on Emily's face. She darted her eyes in Anne's direction, a flash of hatred
crossing her eyes.
Emily understood in that moment why Rose and Cherry hated her so much.
She was despicable!
When Anne met her gaze, Emily's eyes were as dark and bottomless as a black hole. They looked
cold.
She struggled for words to come to her. Before she could explain, she found that Emily had turned
around to leave.
Having no other choice, Sam skipped to catch up with her. After dealing with Rose, Kevin joined Anne
and immediately engulfed her in his arms.
With her eyes shut, Anne frowned. "Emily just came by."
Kevin hummed in response. Sam had now left the wedding. To any woman who had encountered such
situation, it was like a thorn in the heart that couldn't be removed.
Kevin worried about the couple's life after their marriage.
"Anne, you shouldn't think too much. You have taken a large number of sleeping pills. I have to take
you to the hospital." As he spoke, Kevin slowly picked Anne up in his arms and strode forward.
As soon as the reporters saw them approaching, they took the opportunity to ask, "Mr. Kevin, may I ask
how Miss Rose fell in love with you?"
"Mr. Kevin, Miss Rose is willing to jump off the building for you. Are you moved by this?"
"Mr. Kevin..."
Despite the cacophony of the questions ringing by both of their ears, Kevin and Anne ignored all the
reporters and drove away without making any comment.
They were both very tired.
As soon as they arrived at the hospital, the doctor quickly took emergency measures. The hypnotic in
Anne's body, which was causing drowsiness, was slowly discharged.
Kevin was relieved but there was an underlying fear in his eyes. It was fortunate that Rose had only
drugged Anne with sleeping pills. If it had been some other dangerous drugs, what should he do?
He regretted for agreeing to let Rose stay at their house back then. It felt like a time bomb was living at
their house.
It was late at night when Anne returned to the Fu Family's house from the hospital, but the house was
still brightly lit.
Kevin swiftly held her up in his arms making Anne squeal in surprise. She couldn't help but wrap her
arms around his neck.
Kevin chuckled and said, "I don't think Mom, Eddy, and Sally are asleep yet."
Selma was worried sick and had called to ask about her situation. She couldn't rest assured until she
had seen Anne return.
Seeing the lights still turned on, Anne smiled to herself.
After knowing that Anne was safe, Selma was still worried. Her concern warmed Anne's heart.
After entering the house, Kevin laid Anne down on the sofa. Sally and Eddy quickly ran over. Sally's
eyes were red and swollen from all the crying as she looked pitifully at Anne. As Anne saw her doe-
eyed look, her heart swelled up and she couldn't help but embrace her tightly.
"Boo... Hoo... Mommy..." Sally burst into tears as soon as she was in Anne's arms.
The scenes from the afternoon kept replaying in Sally's head, making her tremble in fear.
Anne tightened her hug. She apologized, "I'm so sorry, Sally. It's all my fault. I should have protected
you. Don't be scared. I'm here!"
Selma, on the other hand, sniffed as she swiped away her tears. She sighed heavily. After Sally came
back, the child had been crying all the time.
"Mom, are you really all right?" Eddy stood aside and looked at Anne worriedly.
Nodding in response, Anne beckoned Eddy closer as she repeated, "It's all my fault. It's all my fault. I
was careless."
