Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 365 I Like You, Rose

Anne couldn't help but look at Sally with worried eyes. She just couldn't bear to see her dear child get traumatized. Rose's words were now incoherently structured, and Anne began to think that Rose had become fully insane.

But now, the most important thing to think about was to find a way out of the situation.

"Rose, I'm the only one you hate. It has nothing to do with my child. Look, I'm right here in front of you. I'll willingly accept it if you want to die with me. Just please let Sally go! You have a daughter too. I'm sure you understand. Look at Sally right now. She's just like your own daughter!" Anne pleaded as she looked straight into Rose's eyes.

Rose kept a frown painted on her face. She turned to look at Sally, whose cheeks were now covered with tears streaming across them. Her eyebrows resembled much of Kevin's.

Rose proceeded to smile as she turned her gaze again to Kevin. She couldn't help but wonder that if her child was Kevin's, would she end up looking like Sally as well?

Meanwhile, in the wedding venue, Sam checked his own phone. He was intensely watching the coverage of the breaking news.

Sam couldn't help but frown at Rose's behavior. He thought, as a doctor himself, that she was acting rather maniacally. There was no denying now that she had fully lost her mind.

Sam tried to call Kevin on the phone, but, as expected, he didn't answer because he was busy trying to reason out with Rose.

Sam's heartbeat complemented the heavy weight of his breathing.

Emily stood behind him, and immediately got worried after seeing how tense and nervous he was.

At this point, he couldn't hide his worry around Emily anymore. He kept gritting his teeth, and said, "The wedding ceremony is done, and we have to focus on the celebration and entertain the guests. But, Emily, I have to go now. It's very important. Can you forgive me for doing this?"

Emily looked at him with a cold smile. She did not say anything, but Sam had already left.

Although it was true that the main ceremony had been completed, there were naturally still other traditional practices they must complete.

With acute sense of importance, he left her behind in the ceremony to go and make sure Anne was safe.

Not too long ago, he even reassured her that he saw Anne merely as a good friend. But the bride felt betrayed as he left yet again to save that friend from danger.

She couldn't believe how naive she was! She felt all sorts of guilt, anger, and jealousy. For her, the pain was like a full force slap to the face.

She suspected that he said those words just to hide the fact that he still had residual feelings for Anne.

'Anne, from now on, I declare you my enemy!' she thought out loud. She gritted her teeth out of rage.

She fantasized about getting rid of Anne from her world. She wondered how much better her life must be by then!

"Rose, do you want to marry me?" Meanwhile, on the roof, Kevin tried his best to keep Rose occupied with a bright but desperate smile on his face. Nevertheless, he looked just as handsome, and elegant.

Rose simply continued to look at him with unchanging expression. He slowly approached her while stretching his hand. "Rose, I have fallen in love with you when we met again this time, but you hated

me so much, so I couldn't get close to you. Now I know you still love me, so please, it's not too late. We can start over!

I don't love Anne anymore. I don't even care much about Sally either. Come here, now. We can be together, okay?"

The reporters around them couldn't help but feel the adrenaline rush through their system. The sound of the shutters of cameras clicking like a factory with endless metals clashing against each other was rather deafening. What Kevin said just now would be such a huge news!

Of course, most of them thought it was only a good use of his silver tongue, but they also wanted a piece of controversy to put up in the news.

Rose seemed to have calmed down, but only very slightly. She stared at Kevin again, but with visible confusion on her face.

"Rose, what's wrong? Do you still hate me? Don't you want to have a good, peaceful life with me? Kevin added.

He carefully chose his words to charm Rose even further.

"It's impossible! It's impossible! I know I've done so many things to seduce you, but you've always liked Anne better. I know these are all lies to save both of them!" She rigorously shook her head and screamed at him at the top of her lungs.

He took a step back and gently shook his head. "Rose, believe me. What I said is true. It's all true!"

She now violently shook her head like an insane person would. He was the man she absolutely adored and loved, but for some reason, it wasn't what she felt now.

'No! He's not…' An inner voice suddenly spoke to her like her conscience.

She turned to look at Anne again with her whole body in tension. The woman in front of her was supposedly the one she hated the most, but she somehow didn't feel repulsed by her presence.

She couldn't stop wondering what the hell was going on. Her mind seemed to be in a constant loop between anger and confusion.

When did it all go wrong? How come her emotions had betrayed her?

A memory hidden deep beneath her mind slowly crawled back like a monster waiting for its chance to return. She slammed her head with her fists, desperately trying to clear it up.

She was certain that she had forgotten something important. When Kim kidnapped her, he kept injecting her with an unknown substance every few days. That was another problem she couldn't stop herself from wondering.

She lost count of the nights she had been in the presence of the man in black, who kept repeating the words that manipulated her into hating the person she loved the most, and vice versa.

Those words acted like a cursed spell that led her to a prison inside her mind. The damage, as it seemed, was irreversible.

Anne was the one she loathed the most, but her adoration of her suddenly grew. She even loved her children. That feeling was now engraved in her heart, which she was unable to get rid of.

Moreover, the moment she saw Kevin, the anger welled up inside her so much that his every breath and the faintest of his voice would send a painful and annoying sting inside her head.

It felt like her world was turned upside down.

At this point, she had lost her mind that even she herself couldn't remember who she was.

'Kim! It's all because of his damned sick plot. What did he do to me? What did he inject me with?!' she kept uttering those words inside her head. How and why did this happen?

There were a lot of things inside the dark corners of her mind that started trying emerge. She couldn't take it anymore, and she screamed in agony.

Sam rushed over in a hurry. His face darkened as he saw Rose desperately holding her head.

"Why are you here?" asked Kevin while keeping his eyes at Anne and Sally. He found Sally to be dangerously placed at the edge of the roof, and any careless move would send her to her death.

No matter how anyone saw it, she was still a child with a fragile body, and she would definitely die even if they placed a cushion to shield her from the impact of falling from such incredible height.

Now that Rose sunk deeper into her insanity, nobody dared to make a move. All of them were swallowed by the fear that something unexpected would happen with one wrong move that would trigger her.

In the meantime, Kevin kept wondering why Sam came all the way here when it was his wedding day.

The latter gritted his teeth, and replied, "I kept calling you on the phone, but you wouldn't answer. So I have no other choice but to personally come here."

Besides, as a doctor, he was confident that he could resolve the situation with the right approach.

Kevin frowned in dismay. He knew he was so anxious about this whole thing that he didn't even notice his phone ringing.

Sam went on to add, "Now, keep telling Rose that you like her!"

Kevin nodded in agreement and proceeded to prepare his words. "Rose, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well? If so, then let me accompany you to the hospital. I can take care of you, okay?"

It didn't help at all. His voice only made the situation worse than it was. She fiercely glanced at Kevin, and squinted as if she just woke up from a deep slumber. The two voices in her head kept clashing against each other. One was telling her that she liked Kevin the most, the other was convincing her how she hated his guts.

It kept going on and on that it was impossible for her to know who to believe.

The only thing she knew for certain was her disgust.

What was going on? What just happened?

"Rose why are you just standing there? Aren't you afraid? Come here with me. Let's get out of here together." He once again reached out his hand with a warm smile on his face.

'Get out of here?' she skeptically thought.

She tilted her head like a curious animal. It was supposed to be a joyful thing that the man she loved was going to get her out of her misery, but she just couldn't get rid of the disgust she felt deep inside.

"Kevin, don't push me! Don't you dare keep pushing me!" She shook her head again while she screamed.

"Rose, what happened to you? Can't you see that it's me? Tell me what's bothering you. We can sort this out." Sam suddenly emerged from his peripheral vision; he was now rapidly getting closer and closer to Rose. Kevin stepped forward to attract Rose's attention.

As usual, Rose kept shouting, "Kevin, stop right there! Don't get any closer!"

"Okay!" Kevin completely halted. "No matter what you say I will listen to you."

Rose's actions were getting rather repetitive. She slammed her fist into her head again and again that one would think she was regular patient in a mental institution.

The sun had already set down, and the clouds in the sky were painted with a bright red hue. It was a stunning view.

She went ahead and struggled to lift her head up.

What on earth did she plan to do just standing there all the time? To kill Anne and Sally?

She stopped to reflect and evaluate who was the most important between Anne, Sally, and Kevin.

Anne, who was tied to the ground, bravely and anxiously looked at Sam, who now stood only inches away from Rose.

"Kevin, I'm willing to—" She stopped and smiled as she stared at Kevin in surprise. She slightly raised her hand, but before she could finish what she had to say, her face changed abruptly. Someone tightly held her from behind. She let out a deafening screech, tried to break free, and shouted, "Let go of me, Sam! Let go of me!"

Kevin quickly grabbed Sally and took her to a safe place. He then rushed over to break Anne free.

Anne finally got up, and quickly rushed over to tightly wrap Sally with her warm embrace. Her child did the same and cried her heart out.

The child was traumatized.

Meanwhile, Selma, who stood with the crowd, finally got to breathe a sigh of relief. She quickly embraced Sally the moment her mother handed her over.

Anne turned around to take a contemptuous look at Rose.

She thought that no matter how Rose treated her, she could choose to be the bigger person and forgive her. It was only this time that Rose tried to harm her child that she couldn't bring herself to do so.

Her child was her life.

"Kevin, I'm going to make sure Rose will end up in jail this time!" she shouted at him with determination, her face cold as ice.

Kevin, on the other hand, continued to blankly look at Rose. What she did really pushed him into the edge.

He decided upon himself that he would do everything he could to give her what she deserved!

Meanwhile, a swarm of news reporters quickly snapped photos for an aftermath story. Rose struggled to break free until she passed out.

Sam didn't expect her to lose consciousness almost immediately.

"Stop making so much noise!" he snapped at the media, "There is something wrong with Rose. She should be sent to the hospital as soon as possible for observation," he said to Kevin as he slowly released his grasp.

Kevin nodded in agreement, and proceeded to arrange everything they needed to do next. The moment finally gave Anne a fresh air to breathe in and a sigh to rid herself of the stress. Sam noticed that she was about to fall off, so he quickly grabbed her before she could slam hard into the ground. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Anne got back to her senses, and shook herself heavily. The effect of sleeping pills was still there, apparently.

However, she frowned as she looked up and saw that it was Sam who held her. Something suddenly crossed her mind and sent a sudden sharp jolt in her spine.
