Kevin kept a straight face, his eyes narrowed in dissatisfaction.
"Well…"
Anne wanted to ask more about Emily, but seeing that he was a little bit angry, she shut her mouth.
"Mr. Kevin, it's getting late. Return to your room and have a rest. You must be exhausted from work. You should take good care of yourself,"
Anne promptly said to prevent him from getting angry.
"Did I say that I wanted to go back to my room and have a rest?"
Kevin's face was still sullen. The aggravation in his eyes remained as it is. 'This damn woman is so pretentious.'
"Mr. Kevin, do you want to…"
Anne was speechless about this man. He was extremely difficult to please.
"Sleep with you! I'm going to take a shower. Wait for me on the bed!" Kevin walked into the bathroom immediately after saying that. He did not give Anne any chance to explain.
"……"
'What is wrong with him these days? He takes my room as his own.'
At the thought of his domineering behavior, Anne felt aghast. But when she thought that he hugged her and slept with her every day, she seemed to be at ease and looking forward to it.
For the past two months, Kevin slept in Anne's room almost every night. His attitude towards her was much better.
Cherry had witnessed all the changes in Kevin. She knew that he cared more and more about Anne, or perhaps he had fallen in love with her.
After Cherry's plan failed last time, she had always held a grudge against Anne. The baby would be born soon. What if Kevin decided not to kick Anne out of the villa?
It couldn't be. She must find a way to sever their relationship.
One day, Kevin left early for work, leaving Anne and Cherry alone in the villa.
Cherry looked at Anne, who was eating her breakfast silently. A vicious look flashed across Cherry's ravishing eyes.
"You seem to be in a good mood these days, even though someone sacrificed so much for you. You don't have any conscience at all,"
Cherry said sarcastically, raising her brow at her.
Frowning, Anne stopped eating and gave her a cold stare.
"I don't know what you are talking about. Please don't disturb me. I'm having my breakfast!"
Anne did not seem to be affected as she had already been used to Cherry's mockery.
"You are indeed a broad-minded woman. How could you sit here and leisurely eat breakfast? Haven't you figured out why your assistant went abroad long ago?
Kevin had given an order not to tell Anne about what happened to Emily, but Cherry did not care so much now. If she just let Anne live such a peaceful life, she would lose her position in the villa eventually.
Hearing Cherry mention Emily, Anne interrupted what she was doing and fixed her eyes at her sharply.
"Cherry, what do you mean? Just say it. Don't beat around the bush!"
She anticipated that what Cherry was about to say must be something bad.
"Your assistant went abroad so suddenly. Don't you know why? She went away because of you!"
Cherry glared at Anne contemptuously. As she remembered that her last plan fell through because of Emily's interference, hatred took hold of her heart.
"Emily suddenly decided to go overseas. You must know the reason, right? Cherry, tell me!"
Emily had been away for some time. During that time, Anne had asked Kevin over and over, but she didn't get an answer. The longer she waited, the more worried she got.
"Although Alan promised Kevin that he wouldn't harm you before you give birth to the baby, he wouldn't let you go easily since he wanted to avenge her sister so much. Your assistant was afraid that Alan might do something to hurt you, so she went to him and claimed that she pushed Ruth down the stairs. She did it all to protect you!"
Cherry gave Anne a frigid look. She could not help, but feel jealous when she thought Anne had a friend who cared so much about her.
"What did you say? Emily went to Alan and said that she pushed Ruth down the stairs?" Anne immediately stood up from her seat and asked. She could not believe what she heard.
She put herself in danger for her. How could Emily be so reckless?
The pain grew worse in Anne's belly. She knew that she had to go to the hospital now. She might have a miscarriage if she did not act immediately.
Cherry, who had been dying to see a good show, stopped smiling as Anne's words sunk in. She looked at Anne viciously. This woman finally began to suppress her using Kevin's influence.
"Are you threatening me, Anne? Do you think I will get scared if you say that?" She walked up to Anne and whispered cold-heartedly.
"I'm not threatening you. I'm just telling the truth. If anything happens to my baby, your wedding with Kevin will never take place!"
Anne sought support from the chair and walked out with difficulty. She had to go to the hospital as soon as possible.
Being intimidated by Anne, Cherry knew that what she said was true. If Kevin knew she did not do anything to help Anne when she was in danger, he would definitely think that she was a heartless woman.
It seemed that she had to send Anne to the hospital today.
"Okay, I'll take you to the hospital. But it has nothing to do with me if something wrong happened with your baby."
A sneer flashed across Cherry's lips as she walked to help Anne.
Anne stared at her in surprise. She did not expect that Cherry would be struck by conscience and changed her mind. Did she get frightened of what she just said?
After she got inside Cherry's car, the pain in her belly became worse. Her face turned paler and paler.
There weren't many cars on the road, but Cherry's driving speed was unexpectedly slow. It was not until then that Anne realized that why Cherry suddenly changed her mind to help her. She was obviously doing it on purpose, so she could buy time.
It took the car nearly half an hour to arrive at the nearest hospital. The doctor gave a series of tests upon Anne.
"Doctor, is my baby all right?" The pain was alleviated a little. Anne looked at the doctor who examined her, anxiously waiting for his reply.
"You have preterm labor symptoms. Fortunately, it is not too serious. You must learn to control your emotions as you are pregnant,"
the doctor reminded her when he saw the distress on her face.
"Thank you, doctor. I'll be careful."
Anne was relieved when she knew that the baby was fine. If something happened to her child, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
