The two of them looked at each other and realized something.
"We should hurry up and look for her. When Anne was in the hospital, she said she had something to do, so she asked us to leave her behind," Emily said in confusion. Did something happen to her in the hospital?
"I'll look for her. You stay at home and look after Eddy."
With that, Kevin left the villa without even grabbing a coat.
The car passed through the intersection swiftly, and disappeared within a blink of an eye.
He tried to call Anne, but all he got was an automated message that said, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable."
He casually tossed his phone in the car and drove to the hospital. There weren't too many patients in the hospital, but there were many doctors.
"Mr. Kevin, what can I do for you?" a doctor who recognized Kevin greeted.
"Where's my wife?" Kevin asked, slightly frowning.
"Well, she seemed to have left the hospital a long time ago, but she had an examination today and forgot to take the results. I'll give it to you."
A moment later, Dr. Liang gave Anne's examination report to Kevin.
As he read the report, he finally understood everything.
"Do you have any idea where she might've gone?"
The moment he saw what was written on the report, Kevin almost lost his mind. Anne loved their child so much, and this result must've been devastating for her.
He hurried back to his car, but he didn't know where to start looking for her in the dread of the night.
But he didn't dare to give up. He continued to drive along the road, looking for a sign or a silhouette of her figure, but still, he wasn't able to find her.
On the passenger seat, his phone rang. It was from an unknown number. He thought it was a call from his business partner, so he didn't intend to answer it.
But the unknown person kept calling, until Kevin was annoyed into answering the phone. "What do you want? I'm busy right now."
When he heard the person on the other end of the line speak, he suddenly floored the brakes and asked, "What are you talking about? Where's Anne?"
In the QY Villa
where Mark lived.
When Kevin arrived at the door, he pushed away the servant before she could even utter a word.
It was a long walk from the door to the main house, but Kevin arrived within ten seconds.
At this time, he saw Mark standing by the door. "Where is Anne?" he asked.
He was so mad that it seemed like he would explode if Mark neglected him.
"Even if she is your ex-wife, and you are the CEO of AN Group, you still have to be kind to her." Mark didn't like Kevin, because there were a lot of rumors about him. Even though Mark came from a wealthy family, he loathed playboys like Kevin.
"What did you say? Say that again! Who the hell do you think you are?" Kevin was about to hit Mark, but he stopped upon seeing Anne on the sofa, who was lonely and expressionless.
"Anne." Kevin rushed into the living room at once. His heart was almost shattered when he saw her.
"What are you doing here alone? Don't you know how worried I was? Let's go home." He was prepared to leave, so he lifted her up from her seat.
"You can go back by yourself. I don't want to see you." Though Anne was devoid of emotion, what she said displayed her disgust for Kevin.
In Mark's eyes, Kevin did terrorize her.
"Didn't you hear her say that she didn't want to go back with you?" Although the man in front of him was the CEO of AN Group, if Kevin did anything, Mark was not afraid at all. He wasn't afraid that M Group would be wiped out with a flick of Kevin's wrist.
"Shut up. It's none of your business." Kevin picked her up and walked out of the villa.
Anne didn't struggle nor did anything to resist him. She was like a doll who didn't know how to express her emotions.
"Anne. I know everything about what happened today." Kevin tucked her hair behind her ears and gently kissed her forehead.
"It doesn't matter. I will be with you and Eddy. He's going to be fine." Kevin made a promise, but it felt like nothing to Anne.
"I can't have children anymore. How am I supposed to save Eddy?" Anne smiled bitterly, her voice shaking with sadness.
"There will always be a way. Sam hasn't come back yet, but when he does, we're going to find another way!" Kevin said, trying to comfort her.
From the very beginning, Anne had known that the situation would be changed when she saw the results, and the future of her child had become uncertain.
"Anyway, we should head home. Eddy is still waiting for you at home," said Kevin.
When Anne heard Eddy's name, her heart softened and she finally came back to her senses. "Okay, I want to go back to see Eddy."
"Finally, Anne, I can get rid of you once and for all!" Selma chuckled diabolically.
What Selma hated most was that woman was so arrogant. More importantly, Kevin listened to her, which made Selma lose face. When did the Fu Family allow such a woman, who always antagonized Kevin, marry into their family?
Unwilling to wait any longer, Selma called Kevin, and told him to come over immediately.
When Kevin arrived, Selma was sitting on the sofa with a stern look on her face.
"Mom, it's almost midnight. What do you want me to do? Can't we talk about this tomorrow?" Kevin protested calmly.
Selma sneered and said, "Where is Anne? Why hasn't she come? Is she afraid of showing her face to me?"
"Anne is sick and someone needs to watch over Eddy." Kevin knew that Selma had never liked Anne.
"Humph, she's faking it. Kevin, what are you going to do about Eddy's illness?" Selma asked.
"Of course I'm going to continue looking for a suitable bone marrow. Anne and I will do everything we can." Kevin tried his best to hide the truth about Anne from Selma.
"That's enough. How long are you planning to keep the truth from me?" Selma shouted in anger. She didn't expect that Kevin would lie to her for Anne's sake.
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Kevin lowered his voice, but he sounded intimidating.
"What do I mean? Anne can't have another baby! Are you planning to see Eddy die?" Selma slammed her hands on the table, dizzy with anger.
"Who told you that?" Kevin said coldly.
He didn't expect that Selma would find out so soon. But everything about Anne was only known to Sam. What the hell was going on?
"I asked about her condition myself. Didn't the doctor say that Anne needed to have another baby? I'm concerned about Eddy's health. What's wrong with calling the hospital to let them send me a fax? Are you going to abandon me for the sake of that impaired woman?" Selma was getting aggressive, and Kevin knew her temper well. He didn't want to argue further.
"The matter between me and Anne is none of your business. If you really want Eddy to be healthy, then you can help us look for a suitable bone marrow!" Kevin retorted firmly.
Selma had anticipated that he would react like this. "I have the final say on this matter. From tomorrow on, I will find a girl with the right blood type. At least, the new girl will be a whole lot better than that deadbeat Anne!"
"I said it's none of your business!" After saying that, Kevin stood from his seat and walked out.
Selma had no choice but to shout, "If you don't listen to me this time, you can forget that I'm your mother!"
But Kevin still strode away, showing no sign of surrender.
