Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 113 Hanging By A Thread

When he heard the baby crying, Kevin breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Congratulations, Mr. Kevin! It's a boy!" The doctor was excited as he came to Kevin with the newborn baby.

Kevin's eyes had been fixed on Anne's face, and even the doctor's words did not attract his attention. Right now, his eyes were only focused on the woman on the bed.

"My God! She's hemorrhaging!" one of the doctors exclaimed in panic.

"What? That's a big one! I need blood in here, stat! And my tools! We need to find out what we're up against here. It might be a uterine rupture!" When Kevin heard the words "big one" associated with the hemorrhage, his mind went blank for a moment, followed by mind-numbing fear.

"We're out of that blood type. It might take too long to get more. What should we do?"

The doctor's expression was grim when he saw Anne's condition.

Losing more and more blood, Anne became progressively weaker, and her eyes went glassy.

Was she really going to die like this? She hadn't even seen her child once, and worse she was still charged with murder.

She was not ready for this. So not ready.

Unable to hold on any longer, she slowly closed her eyes. As she did so, she saw Kevin's worried expression.

He did care after all...

"What are you waiting for? Save her! If anything happens to her, I'll kill you all right here and now!"

Kevin yelled at the doctors in a panic he had never experienced before.

He would never allow anything to happen to this woman! No way!

"We're trying our best, Mr. Kevin. Other hospitals might have the blood stores we need, but I don't think there's time," one of the doctors said anxiously.

He trembled in the face of Kevin's murderous fury.

"Use my blood, then! We share the same type!" Kevin didn't know why he was afraid that this woman might really die.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Kevin. We'll get that set up right away." Since Kevin was going to be the main donor for the transfusion, the hospital staff were more careful with him. He didn't even blink when they fitted him with an IV needle to transfer his precious blood to her body.

He sat on the edge of Anne's bed, and the blood in his body flowed into Anne's IV and her body. The tubes connecting them were red.

Looking at her pale face, for the first time, Kevin felt heartache and fear.

As the blood traveled through the tubes, Kevin's face turned pale.

"Mr. Kevin, I don't think this is a good idea. You'll be in danger if things go on like this. At least drink some juice."

Seeing no change in Anne's condition, the doctor wanted to give up. After all, Kevin was an important man. If anything happened to him because of a woman in their hospital, there could be lawsuits or worse. They couldn't bear it.

"I don't care. Listen to me: save her at any cost. If she dies, you all die with her!"

The doctor wanted to give up, which made Kevin angrier. As long as she was alive, he would not give up.

All the doctors present were astonished by Kevin's imposing manner. They exchanged glances, wondering if they should continue. What if something really happened to Kevin?

"Keep me hooked up!" he roared. He wanted to keep these doctors mobilized.

Whether awed by his presence or fearing what he might do, the doctors continued the transfusion process.

Finally, half an hour later, the bleeding stopped, and her vitals were good. Anne was out of danger. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

When Kevin stood up, his body began to shake. He looked absolutely drained. "Mr. Kevin, let me get some orderlies for you, and they'll set up another bed."

"No, just take care of her." Looking at the pale woman on the bed, Kevin stood up and left.

Anne was sent back to the ward. It took her two days to wake up.

She opened her eyes in a daze and looked around the familiar ward. She couldn't think clearly.

"You're awake," Cherry said indifferently.

Anne turned to look at her and frowned deeply. After her life hung by a thread for several days, the first person she saw was Cherry. She didn't wanted to see her at all.

"What are you doing here? Checking to see if I'm dead?" Although her voice was not loud, it was still icy.

"You should thank your lucky stars you know Kevin. You'd be dead if it weren't for him!"

Cherry was annoyed by Anne's attitude. This bitch really didn't know how to repay kindness. At the thought that Kevin might lose his life to save Anne, Cherry wanted to kill that woman.

"Cherry!"

It was Kevin himself. He'd seen a side of Cherry recently that he'd never seen before. Why was she being mean to a woman who had barely survived a brush with death?

Knowing that she had made a gaffe in front of Kevin, Cherry shut her mouth and walked quickly over to him.

"Kevin, I just feel sorry for you, so I—" Kevin cut her off. "Let bygones be bygones!"

He walked over to Anne's bedside. He looked down at the woman whose life he just saved.

Her face was still pale, but she looked much better after two day's rest.

"Where's my baby?" she asked. Where's the kid? I want to see him," she insisted.

It was not until she saw Kevin that she thought of her child. She hadn't seen the little tyke since he was born.

As a first-time mother, she couldn't help getting excited at the thought of seeing her child.

"I took him away. You can't see him," Kevin said uncaringly. He looked down like a king.

"Why? Why won't you let me see him? He's my kid too!"

Hearing that Kevin wouldn't allow her to see her newborn, Anne suddenly sat up and glared at him.

Kevin was patient, and kept his voice even. "Well, we're pretty much over now. The agreement is clear on that. Once the baby is born, then we won't have anything to do with each other."

Kevin just stared at her. He had no sympathy for her situation.

"Kevin, can you let me see my child? Just once? Please?"

She felt very sad that she couldn't see the child she almost died giving birth to. Only despair dwelt in the smoking ruins of her soul.

"No way! From now on, that child has nothing to do with you. Since we're done, he's not really your kid, is he?" Kevin turned on his heel after he said that coldly, ready to walk out.

She held Kevin's hand with all her strength and looked at him with pleading eyes.

"Kevin, please let me see my child. I promise this will be the only time." She was satisfied as long as she could see her child.

If she never knew what he looked like, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"I'm not going to change my mind. You have nothing to do with the child. Cherry is the kid's mom now."

Shaking Anne's hand loose, Kevin turned around and strode away.

As she watched him leave, Anne's throat clenched in grief, despair in her beautiful eyes. He was his same ruthless self, the one who could bring her to tears with a word.

After Kevin rounded a corner and vanished from sight, Cherry walked over with a smug look on her face.

"Just give up. You're not going to see him. Kevin doesn't owe you anything. Get out of our lives now, while you still have some dignity."

Cherry couldn't help feeling complacent when she thought about Anne having nothing to do with Kevin now. Kevin's heart was as good as hers.

Cherry's words completely irritated her. All thought of how weak she was flew out the window. She unleashed her rage on Cherry.

"Why? Why are you doing this to me? What gives you the right to stop me from seeing my son?"

She risked her life to give birth to this baby, and no one had the right to prevent her from seeing him.

"Why? He's Kevin. Is that enough?" Her agitation made Cherry feel even happier. She liked to see Anne desperate and helpless.

The ward quieted down instantly. Yes, because of Kevin, she had no chance to see her child, but she wasn't about to give up.

Looking at her devastated face, Cherry became more and more arrogant and delighted.

She snorted disdainfully and said something to crush Anne again,

"Anne, now that you've given birth to the baby, you're nothing. Don't expect Kevin to treat you like he used to!"

Anne almost heard the sound of her heart breaking.

Why? Why was he so cruel to her...

Seeing her words had the intended effect, Cherry left gracefully.

Now that Kevin had broken up with Anne and they had nothing to do with each other, he would be hers.

Lying on the bed, Anne seemed to have lost her soul.

The pure black Rolls Royce sped down the road. Kevin sat in the back seat with a dark expression, and a mysterious emotion flashed through his black eyes.

"Mr. Kevin, if I may... I think you've been too hard on Mrs. Anne. She's just given birth. She nearly died. It might be too much for her."

The assistant drove the car and looked at his employer's gloomy expression in the rearview mirror.

"What do you know? I'm protecting her. Alan's probably going after her as we speak. If I break her, if she loses all hope, then she'll go overseas with Sam. She'll be safe that way."

Kevin did this just to force her to leave here. If she saw the child, she might be reluctant to leave.

"It's not easy for a man to find a woman he truly loves, Mr. Kevin. Why don't you stay with her and protect her? She's probably safer with you than out on her own."
