Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 373 The Changes After The Injection

Kevin was only one step away from finding Anne. However, since he had failed, his heart was reluctant, so he decided to stay in M City. If in case he couldn't find her, he at least had to make sure that she hadn't left the city.

As time went by, even though Simon was by her side, Anne's heart was filled with unwanted feelings.

This child was hers and Kevin's. That thought was enough for negative feelings to well up and overwhelm her.

Suddenly, the past flashed through her mind, but she shook it away immediately. What he had done to her in the past was heartless and in turn, it had hurt her so much.

He was the easily jealous kind of man and domineering male chauvinism. He might have had changed but the pain that he caused her couldn't be undone anymore.

Anne was certain that she loved Kevin very much, but with those recollections of the past, she wasn't very sure anymore.

"Mom, what's wrong? Do you miss Dad and the others?" Simon raised his head and looked at Anne with worry.

She had been undergoing emotional changes during the past few days. That concerned him very much.

Of course, Anne knew that the Dad her son was talking about was Kevin.

With a scowl on her face, she asked. "Why would I miss him?"

Again, the memory of the past appeared before her. That time when Rose brought Anne and Sally to the rooftop, she remembered clearly what Kevin said. He said that he loved Rose, not Anne anymore.

Was he forced to say that, or was it the truth from his heart?

Anne shook those thoughts that clouded her mind and confused her further. Kim liked her so much but not in a way she had in mind. However, that wasn't a reason for Anne to hate him, right?

Besides…

The door suddenly creaked open. Knowing who it was, Anne turned around with a gentle smile on her lips.

Kim put a glass of drink at the table and met her gaze with a faint smile. "Are you thirsty? Would you like to drink some fruit juice?"

Anne nodded her head as if she was in trance and she took a sip from the glass. After she took a drink from the apple juice, she lifted her head and looked at the man.

Kim always had a cold and gloomy aura around him. Strangely, she didn't find that annoying at all. He looked very charming if she might say.

Kim was tall and handsome. Aside from that, he was decisive and capable. Anne wondered that maybe, she was sick before. If not, how could she ignore Kim's strong points but be obsessed with that scum Kevin?

"Anne…" Kim called her out as he lowered his head. There was a complicated emotion in his eyes as he frowned at her slightly. He was about to speak again but he held himself back.

It was unusual how gentle Anne was as she looked at him. He was aware that the drug could make someone like the things or people they once hated. However, those drastic changes always made him feel strange.

She might have had the same look as before, but her personality had undergone tremendous changes. True enough, it was quite bizarre for him.

Now that he thought about it, everything that was happening was because of the choice that he made.

It took Kim a while before he pulled himself out of his deep thoughts. He took a breath and asked, "You two are home all the time. Don't you feel bored? The weather is good today. Shall we head to the amusement park?" Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

He remembered that yesterday, Simon told him that he wanted to go to the amusement park.

When Anne heard that, her heart skipped a beat. She gazed at him affectionately as her heart got blanketed with appreciation. Simon was the child of hers and Kevin's. But even so, Kim treated him well because he loved Anne. Now, who wouldn't be moved by that?

She turned her head to Simon and frowned when he was only staring at Kim in surprise.

Unaware of her actions, she had instructed, "Simon, thank your Dad."

At that, Simon lifted his head and peered at her. Kim was not his father. She didn't outright reject the idea of her son calling him his Dad as it was for his safety. But today, her voice was full of warmth. What was this feeling?

Simon was young but he was quick to pick things up and he was sure that his mother was acting weird.

"Are you Rose?" He jumped from the woman's hold and took a step back. There was a look of doubt in his eyes as he peeked at her.

Simon would never forget that he had an aunt who looked exactly like his mother. Their only difference was personality, and her name was Rose.

This woman had changed a lot after that rainy night. Had her mother already been taken away and the one in front of him was someone else? And he was kept in the dark all the time until now?

Anne was surprised at her son's claim. Afterward, she raised an eyebrow as she sneered at him with discontentment. "Simon, are you that stupid you can't even recognize your mother?"

Kim also turned his attention to the kid's astonishment. He didn't expect that he would be this sensitive to find that something was quite out of place.

He shook his head slightly as he sighed heavily. Kim kneeled in front of Simon and ruffled his hair gently. "What are you talking about, little kid? Look, you made your mother unhappy."

Simon bit his lower lip when he saw that dissatisfied look on his mother's face.

His mother had never been angry with him, nor had she looked at him with such cold eyes. However, the woman in front of him was acting weird that he couldn't help but assume that she was a different person.

"Forget it. If you don't want to go, then don't." Once she spat out those words, she saw how her son's expression fell and that tinged her heart a little. Anne couldn't put her finger on what she was feeling but the hate in her heart lessened a bit.

It was very strange, indeed. How could a mother hate her own child, right? Anne knew that she hated Simon but that was only because he was Kevin's son.

Now that she pondered about it deeply, he was her child too.

"No!" Simon shook his head and immediately ran up towards his mother. He held her hand carefully with a pleading look on his face. "Mom, it's been a long time since I've been to an amusement park. Please, let me go."

Anne looked up at Kim who only gave her an assuring smile before he turned around and left.

His tall and strong back gave Anne a fluttering feeling.

Only such a man deserved her love.

As for Kevin, maybe it was time to get a divorce.

Perhaps, she should tell Kim about her thought when the right time came.

Kevin was still looking all over the place for Anne. He instructed all his men to do so. As for the company, he already handed the things to Selma and the board of directors. They fell into chaos initially but there was nothing that they could do.

Fortunately, the company was not affected so far, and no one knew what had transpired in the Fu Family.

With severe bags under his eyes, he sat there lifelessly with his exhausted body.

'Anne… Where the hell are you? Are you safe? Did Kim harm you? Just hang in there… I'm sorry. It's all my fault that I haven't found you yet.'

"Tell me, when can you find Anne?! When?!" Kevin who had been silent and who was usually calm and collected stood up and kicked the nearest chair away. He glared at the crowd who fell into silence.

Everyone's eyes were on him. It was the first time that Kevin lost his composure.

They could only sigh as they understood where his anger was coming from. Anne had been missing for so long and they had no idea where she was at all. Anyone who encountered such a situation would lose their mind.

They couldn't find them not because they were incompetent but because Kim was a sly and smart man. Ever since he disappeared, there was not even a trace that could lead to his whereabouts. They had no clue at all.

"Mr. Kevin, please be patient and give us more time. We will do our best to find Mrs. Anne." The police captain sympathized with Kevin and spoke in a comforting manner.

Kevin could only grit his teeth and clench his fist hard.

He sighed heavily, exasperated at himself. He had been here for God-knows-how-long and he knew how everyone tried their best.

"I'm sorry, I was too agitated." He sat down once again and breathed deeply to calm himself.

The crowd only shook their heads before they continued to do the task at hand. They were investigating the surveillance video as it might lead them to something.

At that moment, Kevin's phone suddenly rang that made his eyes flash with annoyance.

The company's affairs were already handed over and Selma was in charge of the Fu Family now. If they were not incompetent, then how could someone bother him at this important time?

His eyebrows creased in confusion when he saw that the caller was an unregistered number. Despite his doubt, he picked up his phone.

"Hello, Kevin?" The cold voice over the phone was somewhat taunting.

He stared at the phone number once again with disbelief. He knew this devil-like voice. This came from the very person that took Anne away and made everyone suffer in the process.

It was Kim. He had the guts to call him, huh?

The policemen who were beside him picked up their devices and began to track the location of the caller.

"I thought you'll find this place in no time, but it seemed like I overestimated you. So, is this you doing your best? Pathetic. Don't worry. I'm willing to give you another chance. I'm in an amusement park with Anne and Simon. Do you want to come here? Remember, this is your last chance."

Without waiting for any reply, Kim hung up the phone.

As if on cue, the tracking device had shown the exact place where Kim was. Kevin glanced at the address before he rushed out of the premises. The police were quick to follow him.

Kim was a shrewd man. They didn't even know if it was part of his plan to call and invite Kevin over. Since they were powerless regarding the matter of Anne, they had to do their best to protect Kevin at all cost.

As if he wasn't tired of everything that was happening, Kevin left with his car. The recent events had drained every bit of energy he got but when Kim called him, his exhaustion dissipated. All that was left was anxiety.

Kim was a manipulative person and he loved drama. Kevin doubted that he would call him just like that with no trick in his sleeves. He had said that Anne and Simon were in the amusement park with him, so what was his plan?

As the question ran through Kevin's mind, his heart became swelled with worry. At that, he stepped on the gas and sped up his car.

On the other side, Anne and Simon were indeed in the amusement park.

With Simon in her arms, Anne rode on the merry-go-round. Even though her son tended to act mature, he was still a child deep inside. He wore a blissful expression all the time as he enjoyed the ride.

She looked around with a troubled look on her face as she hadn't seen Kim for a while now.

Earlier, he had told her that he would just go to the bathroom, but he hadn't come back yet ever since. She glanced at her phone to look at the time. Where on earth had he gone to for such a long time?

Simon turned to look at his mother with a smile, but it eventually disappeared when he saw the conflicted look on his mother. She pulled her arm and whispered in her ear, "Mom, didn't you always say that you wanted to escape before? It seems that Kim and his men weren't around. I think this is the best time to escape."

'Escape?'

Something blurred flashed through her mind but she couldn't remember what that was.

"Simon, you know, there's something in my heart that I can't seem to figure out. I don't hate Kim the way I used to before. I don't want to escape anymore." She hesitated for a moment before she stared at her son and spoke in a serious manner.

The expression written on him was pure perplexity. Simon quickly withdrew his eyes as he became more bewildered with each second that passed. Was this woman in front of him his mother?
