Chapter 21 The One In Wrath



Chapter 21 The One In Wrath

Anne couldn't believe that Kevin would say something so preposterous. Understandably, she got upset

and stated with so much annoyance in her tone, "Kevin, whether you believe it or not, it's up to you."

Right after that, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach which caused her to lean forward.

She pursed her lips and clenched her fists, trying her best to endure the pain. But when she saw his

face right up to hers, she snapped.

"Yes, I went out with him without telling you. Did I do something wrong? Didn't you tell me that it was

fine to see my friend? Even if I didn't tell it was to see him, what's the big deal? Why are you making

such a big fuss right now? If I told you about it in the first place, would you even let me go?"

Kevin's first response to her questions was a menacing grin on his face. Anne didn't know whether he

was mocking her or he was about to go in a rage.

Unfortunately for Anne, her words struck a nerve in Kevin. With hate in his eyes, he just stared at her.

He then raised his hand and started to approach her so he could slap her in the face. As luck would

have it, the next words someone uttered would cause him to stop dead in his tracks.

"Kevin, don't forget that she's pregnant right now."

With Kevin looking like a fool, Anne sneered while staring at the hand that was about to hit her. In her

mind, she didn't expect that he actually wanted to hit her. On second thought, it made sense. Every

time something didn't go his way, he would get so furious and it was normal if he resorted to violence.

After a while, a faint smirk appeared on Anne's pale lips. Calmly, she looked straight into Kevin's eyes

and said, "What now? Are you mad? Just get it over with!"All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

At that time, she knew in her heart that it was better to stay silent than to agitate him even more.

Especially since she knew what kind of a man Kevin was. However, she just couldn't control herself

that day. The more anguish that was around her, the more joyful she became.

After a while, cold sweat started to appear on her forehead while she involuntarily rubbed her stomach

with her hands.

The moment Sam noticed what she was doing, he placed his hand on her back and said, "Let's give

her some time to rest. It's bad for the baby if she gets too stressed."

With those words, Kevin finally lowered his hand that was stuck mid-air. He didn't really intend to

physically hurt her. He honestly just wanted to frighten her. The only problem with that was he forgot

how fearless the woman who he was trying to intimidate.

He walked back to the sofa to sit down, his eyes unconsciously closing from fatigue. While rubbing his

temples, he irritably said, "Fine, send her to her room to rest. She's not allowed to leave that room

without my permission!"

"What? Do you want to lock me up for the rest of my life, Kevin?" Anne frantically asked in a loud voice.

It was as if she forgot that a child was growing in her belly. What about her life and work if she was kept

there during her entire lifetime?

"A lifetime? I didn't expect you to be so clingy."

Kevin wildly mocked Anne. He knew that if he stayed there for one more second, he would have

another fit of rage because of her. As a result, he stood up, walked to leave, and didn't bother to

answer her question.

All of a sudden, Anne collapsed to the ground when she saw that Kevin was already far away.

Sam immediately rushed over to help her up. With a frown and a meek voice, he said, "Let's go, I'll take

you to your room."

"Thank you, Sam," she replied while nodding her head. No matter how miserable things had been, she

knew she would find comfort while lying down in bed.

After a night's sleep, the pain in her stomach that she was feeling the day before finally disappeared.

However, she felt a bit nauseous when she sat up on her bed.

Luckily, things weren't all that bad. The sight of the beautiful tall trees outside the window greeted her

when she opened her eyes. Next, a soothing calm breeze entered through the window while the birds

outside chirped a beautiful melody.

Finally, the gentle winds raised up the elegant white curtains of the room which gave her an odd sense

of relief.

When Anne entered her room last night, she was too upset to look around. But now, she couldn't be

happier about the room she was staying in, especially since the entire room had the most gorgeous

interiors. The refreshing green walls and the unique doors and furniture made her feel like she was in a

completely different world. As she stood up from the bed, she noticed there was a pink rug on the

ground. It was another thing to be happy about since she knew it was specifically for yoga.

Anne didn't really have any other hobbies besides occasionally doing yoga. However, she had to wait

until she gave birth before she could start doing it again.

Next to the rug was a row of white bookshelves. She wasn't much of a book reader but she still

appreciated the fact that all of the books had hardcovers.

Right after that, Anne made her way to the window to look at the view outside.

The sun that was slowly rising from the east was the first thing that caught her attention. Then, the

green leaves dazzling and prancing around under the radiating sunlight made her smile a little. With so

much beauty around her, Anne felt much better about her situation.

And since it was a new day, she knew that letting all of the disappointments and problems fly away with

the wind was the best thing she could do for the baby.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

A series of gentle knocks came on the door. Thinking it was just the servants, Anne turned around and

softly said, "Come in."

Right after she said that, the door opened and Emily walked in. She was wearing dark blue sportswear,

which was a little different from her usual ensemble.

"Hey, how are you doing?"

Emily calmly asked. But when she saw the smile on Anne's face, she realized that there was nothing to

worry about even after what happened last night.

"I'm fine," Anne replied while walking to the sofa to sit down. Since she was wearing thin white

pajamas, Emily quickly noticed how slim she truly was.

Additionally, her long hair covered her shoulders which made her look thinner than she actually was.

Whenever a breeze would go through the window, a few strands of her hair would stuck to her face

which showed how pale she was.

Anyone who saw Anne would definitely think she was sick and would feel sorry for her. Because of this,

Emily sighed in her heart and thought to herself, 'Kevin should really take care of her. She might have

complications giving birth if her health doesn't improve.'

Unfortunately, Kevin only had his heart set on Cherry even though Anne looked as pitiful as a person

could be.

"Look at you, you look much better today. That being said, you should probably comb your hair since

you look a bit worn," Emily playfully said while walking towards Anne to cheer her up. When she sat

down beside her, she added, "How about we head downstairs right now? Sam has been awake before

the sun rose just to prepare a very nutritious breakfast for you."

As soon as Anne heard the word "breakfast", she felt sick to her stomach. Even if she didn't eat a

single thing before going to bed, she didn't feel hungry at all.

"What's wrong?"

Emily asked when she saw the frown on her face. She thought something wrong must've happened so

she moved closer and asked, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine..." Anne replied while waving her left hand without so much force. Then she added, "I just have

a stomachache right now but I'm fine. Let's go downstairs and eat."

Their breakfast that morning was just what a pregnant woman needed. It was full of highly nutritious

food that would keep a baby and a mother healthy. It was obvious that Sam tried his best to provide

Anne what she needed.

However, as soon as she sat down, Anne covered her mouth with her hand and quickly rushed to the

bathroom to vomit. The aroma of the food instantly made her feel nauseous.

Emily couldn't help but feel sad for Anne when she heard how badly she was throwing up.

"Ewww..."

Anne said to herself in disgust after lifting her head up. Although she didn't let out much, she couldn't

bear the repulsing taste of retching that was left in her mouth. When she was done in the bathroom,

she almost didn't have the strength to stand up. Fortunately, Emily came to her aid and helped her

walk.

"Sadly, you need to get used to these kinds of things," Emily said while helping Anne sit on the sofa.

While this was happening, Sam stared at Anne with worry in his eyes.

During the first month of pregnancy, morning sickness was extremely common. However, Anne's

reaction to any food she smelled was too severe for it to be considered normal.

Even after all of Sam's effort to cook her the best food possible, she still couldn't put a single bite of

food in her mouth.

As a response to Emily, Anne just nodded her head. She frowned at the fact that it was wrong of her

not to eat anything, especially since the baby in her stomach must be starving.

With that in mind, Anne couldn't help but feel like she was an inadequate mother. No matter how strong

the love she had for her child, she still couldn't muster up the strength to eat anything.

"I'm sorry, I really can't eat anything right now," Anne sorrowfully uttered while looking up at Sam. After

a while, she asked out of desperation, "Is there any other way?"

Sam immediately knew what she meant by those words. If eating solid food wasn't an option, they

would have to rely on injections to give the baby enough nutrients to grow healthy. But that kind of thing

was Sam's last resort. After all, it wasn't the best for mother and child.

He swore to himself that he would never do it unless he really needed to. Because of this, he answered

her in a serious tone, "No."

With his frigid gaze, the look on Anne's face changed little by little. It was clear to her that Sam was

telling her not to even think about relying on injections.

Hoping not to upset him anymore, Anne sat quietly on the sofa and didn't bother to insist on the matter.

After a while, Anne picked up some fruit since there was nothing else she could eat without vomiting.

Emily couldn't help but worry about her. She would always throw up anything which Sam had tried to

feed her.

"What?" Kevin exclaimed after he slammed his desk with his broad palms. After a few minutes, he

managed to calm down a little and asked, "Are you sure that Anne hasn't eaten anything in a few

days?"

The anger he was feeling from his fight with Anne had held him back from visiting her in the past few

days. He didn't know a single reason why she wouldn't eat so he thought, 'Damn it!

What does she think she's doing? Is she intentionally hurting the baby?'

"Kevin? Was it about Anne?"

Cherry, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately stood up and asked when she saw the look on Kevin's

face. She hadn't heard any news about Anne for several days. The only thing that Kevin had told her

was that he sent her to the East Mountain Villa.

'Damn it! I've never even been to that villa and that damn Anne is living there already. Hmm... I should

probably check up on her and make sure she's not doing anything fishy, ' Cherry thought to herself.

"Okay, I'll be there in a few minutes," Kevin said before hanging up the call. He stood up to leave, but

before he did, he turned to Cherry. "I have to settle something at the East Mountain Villa. You should

head back for now."

After that, Kevin walked towards Cherry while staring at her lovingly. Before saying goodbye, he

lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead.

Although he was sincere with his actions, Cherry felt it was half-hearted. Despite this, she grabbed on

to his arm with a smile and said, "Kevin, can I come with you? I don't mean to be clingy or anything. I

just overhead that Anne hasn't eaten anything for days and I'm a little worried about her." To convince

him even more, Cherry started to show a worried face and even shed a few tears. Then she added, "In

fact, I think I know exactly what's happening to her. Maybe I can recommend a few things to ease her

troubles."

Kevin stopped, stared at Cherry's face, and nodded in agreement.

When they arrived at the East Mountain Villa, Anne was trying to entertain herself by sitting on a swing

in the backyard. She didn't really like the feeling of being imprisoned.

However, she had to admit that the East Mountain Villa was pretty much one of the best places to be

imprisoned in. Even the courtyard's design was well thought of, to the point that she couldn't help but

sit on the swing which was the yard's centerpiece.

Emily feared that Anne would fall on the swing so she tried her best to stop her from riding it.

Unfortunately for her, Anne's sweet words and promise to be careful won her over. As a result, she just

stayed quiet while standing beside her in case something did happen to her.

While this was happening, Sam went out to buy something and didn't tell them when he would come

back. Since Emily was the only one there to keep Anne safe, she kept repeating in her head these

words, 'Don't let anything happen to her.'

"Anne, you'd better come down. I'm still a little worried."
