Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 413 Never Give Up As Long As Bob Is Alive (Part One)

"How is your child doing now?" Bob's mother asked as she turned around to look at Anne worriedly.

Anne couldn't stop the corners of her mouth from twitching upon hearing that. She then nodded slightly. "He's good and stable now. But we don't know what might happen in the next few years."

Bob's mother opened her mouth as if to say something only to shut it again when she noticed Anne's exquisite dress and thought of the toys and clothes she bought for Bob. She knew that Anne came from a rich family. She didn't have to worry about the medical bills.

"Mom..." It was at that moment when Eddy showed up behind Anne.

She couldn't conceal the astonishment in her eyes as she turned around and faced Eddy. He just stood there, biting his lips slightly. Right behind him was Emily, who lowered her head and refused to look at Anne at all.

Anne frowned, feeling helpless. It seemed like nobody could stop Eddy from coming over here.

On the other hand, Kevin and Sam frowned at the sight of Eddy.

Anne quickly turned around and glared at Sam. It was then he realized that he had no choice. Everyone loved Eddy. Emily loved him, too. He guessed she also couldn't resist Eddy's begging and gave in to his request. And now, he was here.

But now that Eddy was already here, what else could they possibly say?

Smiling gently, Anne waved over at Eddy. He immediately walked towards her, mirroring the smile on her face.

Bob's mother smiled at Eddy, too. Anne then wrapped her arms around Eddy and said in a soft voice, "Eddy, this boy here is Bob. He's also sick like you. This is Bob's mother. You should call her Aunt."

Eddy nodded his head obediently and said, "Hi, Bob. Hi, Aunt."

Eddy had inherited all of Anne's and Kevin's good traits. His face was fair and gentle. It was complimented with a pair of big, black eyes and a slightly upturned mouth. He titled his head as he looked at the mother and son. It was as if he was trying to peer through their hearts. No wonder people found him irresistible.

Bob's mother smiled and squatted down. Her eyes were bright as she said, "You're so adorable, Eddy."

Anne couldn't help but feel proud upon hearing this. After all, it was a mother's natural reaction whenever she heard someone praise her child.

"Auntie, can Eddy play with me?" Bob looked up at Anne and her mother with his wide eyes. He waited patiently for their answer.

However, his mom seemed to falter and frowned. Their family was poor. They were so poor that she had no choice but to put Bob in a ward with so many other patients. Moreover, they had just met Anne and Eddy. If they were staying in this hospital, they must be in a high-end ward. Why would such people willingly make friends with them?

She was thoroughly convinced that Anne would refuse. And if that would happen, why should she embarrass herself any further?

After all, a person should know his place in the world. Shouldn't he?

With that, she scolded her son, "You just recovered, Bob. How can you possibly want to play now? Eddy is also still unwell. He can't play with you. How thoughtless of you!"

She then looked at Anne. Guilt was written all over her face as she said, "Don't mind him, Anne. He didn't know what he was talking about.

However, Anne only shook her head and rubbed her hand on top of Eddy's little head. "The two are probably around the same age. They also share the same symptoms. It must have been fate that brought them together. Isn't it just right for them to play together?" she asked. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

"What's more, you and your husband can't be in the ward all day long. The nurses have their own duties as well. Bob must get very bored and lonely. Why don't you let me take care of Bob for you? We can keep him company while he's here."

The offer caught Bob's mother off guard. She looked down at Bob and saw that his eyes were wide and excited. She couldn't help but sigh heavily.

Indeed, the medical expenses had forced her and her husband to work harder and longer. They couldn't afford to stay with Bob in the hospital. Otherwise, they couldn't pay his medical bills. And if that happened, they would be forced to take Bob to leave the hospital.

He was getting better lately in the hospital. If they brought him home, they could imagine what would happen to him.

They had no other choice but to leave him alone in the hospital while they had to work.

"Thank you, Anne. Thank you so much!" Bob's mother grasped Anne's hand. Her eyes shone with gratitude.

"We know that Bob can't just stay in the ward by himself all the time, but we have no choice. We cannot afford to always stay by his side. So I really thank you for your offer. I really appreciate it." Tears sprung in her eyes as she said this.

Indeed, Eddy and Bob had the same disease. Anne would be taking care of her own son, so she would also be capable of taking good care of Bob.

A complicated look passed over Anne's face before shaking her head and smiling. She wondered how angry Bob's mother would be if she discovered the real reason why she was here.

They let Eddy and Bob talk to each other for a while before Anne left the hospital with Eddy in her arms.

Meanwhile, Sam had arranged everything well in M City. They now had a temporary residence in the city.

After walking out of this hospital, Anne had fallen into a strange silence. Kevin reached out and held her in his arms. This made her look up and sigh heavily. "Judging from the conversation with Bob's mother, I can tell that they will never give up as long as Bob is still alive. They are willing to do everything for their son..."

Anne pursed her lips before she could even finish what she was saying. However, her message was already clear.

As long as Bob was alive, they would never give away his heart. And now, he was getting better. He might even continue living for many years. But now, what would happen if Eddy got sick someday? What would happen to him then?

Silence hung heavily over them.

What should they do in such a situation?
