Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 370 Get The News

Looking at Emily from behind, Sam stretched out his hand and wanted to grab her once again. But he didn't have enough guts to say what he wanted to say. He just kept getting disappointed about the situation.

He couldn't see anything wrong about helping a friend in need, especially when their life was in danger. Sure, he might have loved her once, but did that really change anything?

At that time, Emily was well aware about it, but she had still let herself fall in love with him. Wouldn't that mean she didn't really care about it? What changed?

There might have been no news available to the public about what exactly happened inside the Fu Family, but he knew for a fact that Kim took Anne yet again!

Sure, he got injured the last time he helped her, but if she didn't ask for his help, Anne would have been taken away for sure.

He didn't regret helping her before, but the way Emily reacted about that incident made him feel horrible.

It seemed that his problem about his relationship with his wife just wouldn't end, and now he had to find the right time to talk to her seriously about it. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Meanwhile, it had been days since Anne disappeared, and Sally fell ill from the emotional pain of having gravely missed her mother.

The people left at home had no choice but take the responsibility of taking good care of her in Anne's absence.

They rushed her into a hospital, and the doctor immediately admitted her to be treated properly. Selma stayed with her all the time to make sure she was healing well.

A day of searching with no results had passed, and Kevin just heard that Sally got sick and he immediately rushed to the hospital. He quickly mustered up all the strength he had left to drag his exhausted body to rush over to the ward.

Currently, Sally had already fallen asleep. Selma sat there with big, dark eye bags painted on her face.

"Still no results?" she faintly asked him as she looked up. She tried her best not to make so much noise in order not to disturb Sally's sleep.

Kevin sat down next to her, and slightly shook his head. His weary eyes made him look almost unrecognizable from his usual elegant vibe.

'Anne, where the hell are you? I've search everywhere in both A City and H City, but you're nowhere to be found!' he thought to himself. He just couldn't take it anymore.

"Now, we are like headless flies wandering around the world, looking for a needle in the hay." Selma sighed helplessly.

It had been established that Kim had taken Anne away, but not one of them could think of a place or at least an area of where he might have brought her.

Kevin still didn't seem to back down from the search. "I'm checking the surveillance video now. I'm sure I can find some clues this time."

As careful and meticulous as Kim was, he believed there was just no way he could dodge all the surveillance cameras scattered all over the area.

As long as he could find a loophole within the records, that would give him a chance to find Anne!

Selma didn't immediately reply, and she proceeded to look down at Sally.

What if Eddy got sick before they could find Anne and brought her back?

Selma couldn't help but be anxious from her own thoughts. She tried to open her mouth to say something out of desperation, but she saw that Kevin had already fallen asleep in the chair.

He had always cared about his appearance but now he had no time to deal with such superficial things like the stubble on his chin.

He had suffered so much since Anne's disappearance.

'Anne, my dear Anne, you must come back as soon as possible. Our family will be in ruins as long as you're gone!' Selma thought to herself. In the past, she had never cared much about Anne, and didn't even recognize her value to the family. But now, she wished from every bit of her being for her to come back.

She genuinely loved her granddaughter as much as her son. There was nothing she could think of that might cheer them up except for her to return safe.

Meanwhile, Anne managed to figure out everything.

There was no denying that Kim simply wouldn't let her go easily after kidnapping her. So she decided not to struggle anymore because it was futile. She decided to eat and sleep at the right time to take care of herself. She did what was expected without any resistance.

She thought that it was only a matter of time until Kevin would finally come to rescue her.

She realized that what she should do right now was to take care of herself for Simon to be able to see Eddy and Sally in the future.

Lunch time came again.

Simon was clinging innocently into her arms, as Anne went downstairs silently. Every time they dined, Kim wouldn't miss a chance to eat with them.

He raised his head as he observed both of them coming down the stairs. He couldn't help but put on a devilish smile.

Life for him was peaceful, except for the fact that Anne often acted hostile around him.

But he had no complaints, as long as he could see Anne no matter the circumstances.

Her recent obedience certainly surprised him, but he loved her enough to just shrug off the sudden change in her approach.

His burning eyes made Anne uncomfortable, as she was unable to avoid them. She braced herself and pretended not to see him as if he was a ghost. She grabbed a seat, and placed Simon beside her.

Meanwhile, Simon, looked down and picked up the spoon.

His mother always reminded him to eat and sleep well, and to take good care of himself. There was no other way for him to grow up quickly so that he could break out of Kim's control.

Kim, on the other hand, didn't fail to always force him to call him Dad.

And she always reminded his son that it didn't matter what Kim wanted to be called.

Kim suddenly noticed that she had lost some weight. He picked up a piece of braised pork, and carefully gave it to her. He then proceeded to remark at his recent observation, "Look at you. You had lost so much weight. Eat more."

She locked her sight into the braised pork, and ignored it until she finished her own food.

He obviously didn't care about that.

Both Anne and Simon simultaneously finished eating in silence. She then picked her son up and went straight upstairs, when Kim's voice suddenly came from behind. "Anne, are you going to ignore me for the rest of your life?"

Anne's face scowled as she stopped in her tracks. She put down Simon, and whispered to him, "Wait for me in the room."

He nodded, and immediately ran away with haste. She turned around with her eyes as chilling as before. She bravely pushed her lips to say with outward mockery, "Kim, you seem to have forgotten that you kidnapped me, forcing me to leave my husband and children. Did you really think I would be grateful to you for doing that?"

He raised his eyebrows and a smug appeared on his face. Although it was not a very positive thing, it was the most words she had spoken to him for a very long time since she got here.

Instead of anger, he felt joy filling his heart.

"Anne, I get that you still love Kevin, so you're angry with me. But I'm taking my time. I'm willing to wait until you fall in love with me instead," he said.

She retorted with a more hostile demeanor, "Kim, I didn't fall in love with you in the two years that you imprisoned me. What makes you think this time would be any different? Let me tell you, even if you lock me up here for twenty years, I wouldn't have any feelings for you!"

The bright smile on his face suddenly disappeared out of the blue. He squinted, and now his expression became even more serious.

Anne bravely stood up to Kim. He smiled and his speech suddenly and unexpectedly turned soft. "Anne, you're wrong. I'm not going to imprison you for two or twenty years. I'm going to imprison you for a lifetime!"

A lifetime?

She couldn't believe it. He was truly out of his mind! She forcefully turned around, and shouted with such anger, "Madman!"

He grinned, as he returned to his seat. Yes, he was indeed a madman. From the moment that he fell in love with her, all his sanity had already left him.

And a madman would always cling to his goal, like how he stayed true to tying her down to his side.

It didn't matter how much patience he would have to give!

The words "a lifetime" really gave her a shock.

Did he actually mean that? Would she have to spend the rest of his life trapped in this cage?

"Mom, it's all my fault. If I had known better and jumped right into your car instead of hurting myself and having to stay here, he wouldn't have gotten the chance to imprison you again." Simon did grow up rapidly. He felt guilty and responsible after what happened.

Anne was caught off guard. She looked back at him and tightly held her in her arms. "Simon, it's all his fault. You have nothing to do with it! How could you say that?

Please stop thinking that way. You are my dear child, always!"

The boy pursed his lips, and slowly closed his eyes.

Meanwhile, Kevin was preoccupied all day long. He finally got some news that he thought might have the key to finding his wife.

He stayed in the police station as he checked the surveillance records one after another. On one footage that showed a part of the road, he noticed the most suspicious black car.

"Mr. Kevin, we got news that this car was headed to M City!" the policeman intently reported.

Kevin squinted his eyes, and a smile began forming from the corners of his lips.

He gradually relaxed as he finally got at least a promising lead. He heaved a sigh of relief.

He had thought that Kim was either hiding in A or H City, but he didn't expect him to actually head over to M City.

That was a great catch! After many sleepless night, they finally had a chance to track him down!

'Anne, I've found you. You're in M City, aren't you? Don't worry, I'll come to you soon. I'll make sure Kim will rot in prison. That way he will not be able to disturb us anymore!' he thought to himself.

Kevin scanned the crowd, as he shouted, "Thank you, everyone, for your efforts. Dinner's on me!"

After so many days of rigorous investigation, the police finally got a result. All of them seemed exhausted as they simultaneously heaved a sigh of relief.

The cheering of the crowd complemented the ecstasy of the moment.

Later that night, Kevin returned to the Fu Family's house with joy in his heart. He had just contacted M City's own police department, and they had been notified to stay on alert.

Anne would be back now. He was sure of it!

He first told this good news to Selma. She felt like a thorn in her heart had just been taken away. She went straight to Eddy to tell him the news.

Eddy had always been obedient and precocious. He kept everything in mind like a proper adult. One might think that Anne's sudden disappearance had no effect on him, but deep inside, he always cared.

"That's great! We will finally be reunited!" he shouted.

As long as they found Anne, they would also be able to bring back Simon. They'd finally be complete again.

Eddy's words filled Selma's heart with bittersweet delight. She couldn't help but revel in the fact that they finally found Anne!
