Chapter 76 Cherry''s Uneasiness


    The way Kevin refused her made Cherry even more furious. She stared at Anne with such hostility and


    malevolence in her eyes. It was unknown how many times she had wanted to kill Anne.


    Anne had already been used to Cherry''s malefic gaze. She nced back at her nonchntly and then


    ignored her the rest of the time.


    Kevin was not so skilled in wrapping bandages, and it was evident in the way that he treated Anne''s


    wound. Her hand looked like a traditional Chinese rice pudding after Kevin bandaged it. She just hurt


    her palms but Kevin wrapped her hand entirely.


    "Are you really not going to let me eat? What made you think it was okay to wrap my whole hand like


    this?"


    Anne said while rolling her eyes in annoyance at Kevin. She thought he was proficient in everything


    until she saw the way he poorly wrapped her hand like that.


    "Well, you still get your left hand. Don''t you?"


    He got frustrated upon seeing the look of disappointment on Anne''s face. He thought what he did for


    her was special but her reaction clearly gave him the impression that it wasn''t. He started thinking that


    she might have been a little ungrateful this time.


    "I do, but I can''t use chopsticks using my left hand. So, what''s the point?" she grunted, while looking at


    Kevin dismissively. Was this man really just ying tricks on her?


    "Is that the only problem? Then I''ll feed you!"


    Kevin said without hesitation,pletely ignoring the reaction of the two women.


    Anne was taken aback. She couldn''t believe Kevin would respond like that. In a normal situation, she


    would expect him to just tell her to starve to death.


    But today was clearly different. He even offered to feed her. She started wondering why he had


    changed all of a sudden.


    Cherry was shocked too. Her hatred for Anne grew even more. Kevin''s inclination towards Anne was


    getting more and more obvious, and she did not want it to keep going on like that. She knew she had to


    do something to prevent Anne to get between her and Kevin.


    "Since when have you be so concerned about Anne?" Cherry said with a hint of jealousy in her


    tone and tried to force a little smile.


    "She is pregnant with my child. Shouldn''t I care about her?" Kevin said without having any guilty


    feelings about Cherry''s question.


    "Yeah, I get that she is bearing your child, so it''s only natural for you to care for her. I''m just curious why


    you seem to have changed drastically all of a sudden."


    Cherry was obviously confounded when she heard Kevin''s response. It would seem that he was aware


    of how his attitude towards Anne had changed, but he didn''t try to hide his affection towards her in front


    of Cherry.


    Meanwhile, Anne could not help but sneer while noticing the panic on Cherry''s face. Cherry had been


    so good at pretending, but he might find out about her true colors soon.


    "Cherry, go and ask the kitchen crew to prepare some nutritious soup for Anne. She needs it. She is


    too thin," Kevin ordered.


    Cherry just said one wrong sentence, so that didn''t cause Kevin to suspect too much. But what he said


    next made it more difficult for her to ept.


    She stared at Anne with so much hatred once again. She really wished she could just kill her at that


    moment. She couldn''t ept that Kevin actually ordered her to do things for that bitch.


    But she knew that no matter how much she hated Anne from the beginning, she could never let it show


    whenever she was in front of Kevin.


    So she took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I''ll take care of it." After speaking in the most gentle tone


    she could muster, she turned around and did what Kevin asked for.


    Anne and Kevin were then left alone, and the atmosphere started to get extremely awkward. As much


    as Anne really tried, she couldn''t work up a word to say.


    She would have resorted to just driving him away if he hadn''t shown that he cared for her moments


    ago. She thought to herself that if she would have her cold face on, it would seem like she was totally


    ungrateful.


    "Kevin, thank you. I really appreciate what you just did for me,"


    Anne said, as if breaking the ice after an awkward silence between them. She tried to sound more


    sincere to lighten the mood.


    "Aha, Anne! I guess it turns out that you still have some conscience left in you,"


    Kevin snorted. He felt so nervous around her just now, but this woman merely thanked him for what he


    did. He thought that was not enough.


    He should have just epted Anne''s gratitude and been content, but that was not him. He was really


    good at ruining the atmosphere.


    Anne curled her lips in dissatisfaction and stood up. She started feeling dizzy again and she felt a chill


    feeling.


    She slightly frowned and tried to ignore the difort she was feeling. She fell down again after taking


    a couple of steps. She felt as if she was stepping on something ridiculously soft like cotton, and that


    she lost her strength altogether.


    "Anne, are you alright? What''s happened?" Kevin reacted immediately and managed to catch her.


    Worry filled his eyes as he witnessed how she was that day. He wondered if she was sick or


    something.


    He tried to check her temperature by touching her forehead with his slender fingers that were a little


    cold from fear and worry. His face turned pale and he felt flustered when he felt that her temperature


    was high.


    "Oh, Anne! Didn''t you feel that you had a fever?" he said while anxiously looking at her. He had never


    felt so worried before.


    "Ah, well. I''m fine, I''m fine. Don''t worry. I''ll just drink some water and then I''ll be okay." Anne said while


    struggling to stand up from Kevin''s arms, but he was holding her tightly.

    "What do you mean you''re fine? Your temperature is too high right now for you to tell me you''re just


    fine! You are pregnant. You''re sick, and you''re trying to just ignore it. Don''t you care about the safety of


    the child you''re bearing?"


    He was starting to get angry for he had never seen a mother who couldn''t care less if she had a fever


    while she was pregnant.


    Hearing him talk about the baby made Anne slightly tremble. She said she was fine because she didn''t


    want to ept that Kevin was trying to show that he cared. She forgot that the baby might be affected


    by her fever.


    "I''ll call Samter. He should be here soon." She put away Kevin''s arms that were wrapped around her,


    and picked up her phone to call Sam.


    Kevin knew how much Sam cared about Anne. When he heard her mention his name, his face instantly


    darkened. He had nned to stop her from calling Sam, but when he remembered her current physical


    condition, he thought he''d rather not object and just bear the unhappiness he was feeling in his heart.


    After she hung the phone up, shey on her bed, still feeling ufortable. She wanted to get some


    sleep.


    Her body seemed to be in an ice cer, shivering from the chills. Her thin body seemed to shrink into a


    small ball into the quilt.


    Seeing her like this, Kevin felt heartbroken. Her pale face and tightly furrowed eyebrows which were


    painful to watch.


    He took off his coat andid it down on the quilt. He held Anne tightly from behind to try and give her


    some warmth.


    The sudden warmth startled Anne, and when she came to her senses, she pushed Kevin away with all


    her strength.


    "What are you doing? Let go of me!"


    She was really angry, but she could not even shout, so it didn''t sound intimidating at all.


    "What did you think I was doing? Anne, don''t be ridiculous. I''m not being dirty or anything. I just wanted


    to try and provide you some warmth."


    Seeing the vignce and surprise in her eyes, Kevin figured out what she might have been worrying


    about. This woman''s thoughts were pretty odd. She was so sick now and she was still thinking that he


    might do something to her? Was he such a bad man who would even take advantage of a sick woman


    in her eyes?


    "I… when did I say that? It was you who went to my bed without my permission!" Anne blushed a little


    while speaking in an unnatural tone.


    She was thinking too much. How could a man like Kevin want to do that to her? The two of them had


    sex before because Kevin wanted to have a baby. But now that she was already pregnant, this man


    should feel disgusted to touch her again. Besides, he already had a beautiful woman like Cherry by his


    side.


    "I had pure intentions when I went to your bed. It was for your own good. Tell me, don''t you feel warmer


    now after I just held you?"


    he said looking at Anne while feeling a little annoyed. He cared about her so much but she wasn''t even


    appreciative of it.


    She wanted to push him away until she heard him say that. She felt a little warmth in her chest. It


    turned out that he did have some humanity in him.


    Thinking about how Kevin did something nice for her she felt relieved. She moved her body while still in


    his arms and finally found afortable position.


    Kevin''s face became a little stiff while Anne moved restlessly. He asked himself if she was deliberately


    torturing him.


    "Anne, you better behave yourself or you will pay for it!" he whispered in her ear while gritting his teeth.


    As soon as she felt his warm breath on her neck, she moved her body, and in an embarrassed tone


    she said,


    "What did I do to offend you this time?"


    She thought about how capricious Kevin was. She didn''t even say anything, so she couldn''t think of a


    reason why he had to threaten her like that.


    "Anne, are you trying to seduce me?" Kevin leaned his thing against Anne''s thigh. The sound of his


    voice was quite charming.


    Having done a considerable amount of intimate things with him before, Anne knew what he was trying


    to do. She started feeling agitated and somewhat annoyed. She wanted to kick him out of bed.


    However, when she felt something hard against her thigh, she didn''t dare to move anymore. She


    feared it would just cause his desire to grow stronger.


    "How about you leave my bed?" she blurted out.


    All she wanted then was for him to leave her alone immediately. She was really worried that he


    wouldn''t be able to control himself. After all, she shouldn''t be doing something like that with him now.


    "Do you honestly think you can decide that for me right now?"


    Kevin said in an enticing and surly voice, showing his strong desire that he clearly didn''t want to let go


    of her.
