Attracted By My Ex-wife Chapter 223 Return

A month later, winter had completely passed.

When Anne arrived at the airport, she saw the lush green trees outside and knew that spring had finally
come.

Sam was the one who came to pick her up.

She was feeling a little under the weather, but when she saw Sam, she tried to force a smile.

"Welcome back, Anne!" Sam greeted.

His eyes seemed like they were avoiding something, and it made Anne feel uneasy for a second.

"Is something wrong? Do you have something to tell me?" she asked.

"Let's go and see Eddy. He's in my hospital right now because he suddenly contracted an illness."

Anne almost fell to her knees. Her heart sank and her face darkened. "I'm going to see him right away."

This was the only thought in her mind. She didn't expect that such a thing could happen in a short
period of time. During the time she was abroad to be focused on creating new designs, Eddy was still
battling against his disease.

In the VIP ward of the hospital, there was a child lying on the pure white bed sheet. If one didn't look
carefully, it would look like the bed was empty.

When she saw a small bulge on the quilt, her heart softened. Even if she was armed with swords and
blades, she still felt defeated.

"Although Eddy's condition is stable right now, we are still worried that it might get worse. If that
happens, it could be critical for his health," Sam said with full honesty.



To be perfectly honest, he wasn't sure whether telling Anne the worst result was a good idea.

"I see." Anne's voice was almost inaudible, and it made people feel that she was exhausted.

"In fact, I really want to see Eddy recover. Kevin once said that if possible, he would like to have a test
tube baby. I took a test with Kevin before, but they said that I was not in good health, so it was
impossible."

Her last hope was shattered. Her uterus was permanently and irreversibly damaged.

But Sam's eyes moved. "Kevin was really willing to have a test tube baby with you?"

He was quite surprised. He now believed that Kevin truly loved Anne.

"So what? It's ultimately useless. The most competent doctor around here said that it couldn't work, so
I've already given up."

That was also the reason why she cut off her ties with Kevin.

Sam frowned at her remark. Generally speaking, doing IVF indeed required that the couple had a good
heath condition, but it was somewhat arbitrary for the doctor to draw such a conclusion for Anne.

"I'll figure it out. You can rest here, and I'll bring you something to eat," said Sam.

Since she boarded the plane, she hadn't eaten anything yet. She had consumed all of her energy, and
she was looking rather pale.

In the empty ward, Eddy's little hands exposed from the quilt were pink and lovely, but he looked even
thinner than before.

He opened his eyes while Anne was absent-minded. His bright eyes resembled precious gemstones.
He immediately smiled when he saw her.



He seemed to have recognized her, so he stretched his little hand from the bed to let her hold him.

Sadly, his health had deteriorated further. After a short moment, his hands felt feeble. When Anne held
his soft body, she almost broke down in tears.

"Eddy is such a good boy when his mommy is around. It's the first time he didn't cry when he woke up,"
Sam commented.

"Yes, he's a good boy." Anne giggled a little after hearing Sam's remark. Simultaneously, he had
already placed the dishes on the table.

"The food in the hospital is a little light, but you just came back. It's good for your health to eat
something."

Sam took over the responsibility of looking after Eddy. So, Anne sat in front of the small table, taking a
few small bites until she couldn't eat any more.

"Eat a little more," said Sam.

"No, I'm full," Anne replied.

Just now, Emily entered the ward. When she saw Anne, she embraced her and said, "Anne, you're
finally back. Why have you lost so much weight?"

Emily felt sorry for her, but Sam fixed his eyes on her. When Emily saw the look in Sam's eyes, she
subconsciously kept silent.

"Emily, stay with Anne. I still have some things to deal with in the hospital," said Sam.

"Okay, don't worry. I will take good care of both Anne and Eddy," Emily declared, patting her chest.

In the office of the hospital.



There was a potted cactus on the table that brought a little life to the serious ambiance of the office.

Sam leaned against his chair and frowned at the documents in his hands.

He found out that both the doctor who examined Anne's body and the doctor who she met later for the
test tube baby were the same person.

He angrily dialed a number on his phone. "Ask Geoffrey to come to my office."

Five minutes later, Geoffrey entered Sam's office. Obviously, he didn't know what had happened. He
was even delighted to see Sam.

"Mr. Sam, what can I do for you?" he asked.

However, Sam's sharp gaze intimidated Geoffrey.

"I want to ask you why you were here that day, when it was supposed to be Dr. Li's task," said Sam.

His stern expression frightened Geoffrey Zhang, but he managed to adjust his mood and said, "Dr. Li
requested for a leave to stay at home, so he asked me to fill in for him. If you don't believe me, you can
see for yourself that Dr. Li has been on duty for two days later."

"Okay, I see." The hint of anger on Sam's handsome face immediately disappeared.

"Is there anything else?" Geoffrey Zhang asked nervously.

"No, I just wanted to know why. You can go carry on with your work," Sam said flatly.

After Geoffrey Zhang stepped out of the office, Sam's face darkened.

In the Joy Hotel.



The chairs had been arranged neatly, and some of the dishes had been served.

The central light was turned on, and the room was elegantly decorated. The temperature was set to
maintain a comfortable 26 Degrees Celsius, but Anne felt cold.

She was wearing a white, sleeveless off-shoulder top, and a red A-line skirt. Her cold expression was
admirable, and her seven-centimeter high heels highlighted her incredible legs.

When the person in charge of the business of the S Group in this region saw her, he was stunned.

"So, you are the owner of such a beautiful work, Miss Anne? You are incredibly different from what I
have imagined." The director's voice was full of admiration.

Anne smiled and took a sip of her wine without saying anything.

"Our designers always separate their work from their personal lives. The inspiration comes from their
own work. In life, she is a completely different person." Although Mark hated this kind of social
engagement, for Anne's sake, he obeyed Trey's orders and attended.

"You are correct." The director looked at Anne and smiled.

In fact, Anne didn't need to come. Noticing that she was not in a good condition, Mark told her that she
should head back first. But she had already committed to it, so she felt worried if it was anyone else
that handled it.

For some reason, she just drank a little but she already felt weak.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I need to go to the bathroom." Anne got up on her feet and left the room.

Everyone was stunned because of what happened.



"Miss Anne is not feeling well today. She really cares a lot about this design. Perhaps she's been
working too hard and now that suddenly she came here to relax, she needs some time to adjust." Mark
announced with a smile on his face.

"Oh, I see," the attendees remarked.

Mark felt sorry for Anne as he watched her leave.

He knew that she was feeling unwell, but she still insisted on coming. She also said that she knew
more about the contract than him, so it was imperative for her to attend.

In fact, she was just afraid that she couldn't cope with it. However, she didn't know that even if she had
no interest in becoming a businessman, it didn't mean that she wasn't.

In the room, everyone continued to drink one glass after another. Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Anne
was vomiting the wine that she drank.

At this point, she stared at herself in the mirror and felt strange. She noticed that she looked haggard
even with makeup on. Her collarbone was apparent, but now it looked a little awkward.

In order to cheer herself up, she applied lipstick on her lips and smiled. Compared with the red, her
face seemed much whiter than normal.

After that, she returned to the room and continued discussing the contract.

Everything went smoothly. Two hours later, the contract was finished and the M Group and S group
were officially partners.

"Anne, are you okay?" Mark asked with worry.

Anne waved her hand in dismissal. "I'm fine. I think I'm just a little tired."



"Then I'll drive you back," said Mark.

"Okay, take me to the hospital." She was starting to feel frail.

"Are you really sick? Anne, let's go. I'll take you to the hospital at once!" Even though he was agitated,
Anne was still smiling helplessly at him.

"I'm fine. I'm going to the hospital to see my child. He's the one who's sick," said Anne.

It was not until then that Mark realized she was worried about her child.

"Okay, I'll take you there right away."

In the hospital.

The door of the room was ajar, and there were faint voices coming from inside. She knew that it was
Selma and Rose.

"Why don't you go in?" Mark asked.

"There are some people that I don't want to see inside. I'll just go inside later." It seemed that she was
smiling, but she couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes. It made Mark feel sorry for her.

About half an hour later, Selma came out of the room with a stern expression, and Rose's face was
riddled with uneasiness.

"Mom, let's go. We will visit Eddy again tomorrow. He's going to be fine soon," Rose comforted her as
she gently rubbed Selma's back.

Selma nodded and left the hospital with Rose. Finally, Anne went in and saw Eddy, his eyes open. No
one knew what he was thinking, or perhaps he wasn't really thinking about anything.



"Is this your child? He's so cute!" When Mark saw Eddy, he felt quite disappointed, but he was more
willing to see Anne happy.

"For the sake of my child, I have to hold on. I absolutely cannot fall!" Anne clenched her fists with stark
determination.

After sending Mark away, she stayed in the hospital the entire night.

She didn't know why her body suddenly began to deteriorate, as if it was slowly collapsing.

After she fell asleep, Sam came to see her, and wanted to do something for her, but there was nothing
he could do.
