The day before the end of the holiday, Ann made an appointment with Emery to meet William at the hospital.

Ann was a little nervous when inviting him.

After all, they had been in contact for less than a week since the blind date.

Unexpectedly, Emery was very calm hearing the proposal.

"Before three in the afternoon, I will end the lecture and visit Mr. William in the hospital."

When they hung up the phone, Ann was still in a trance.

'Are people these days so casual about meeting parents?

When Ann left the bathroom and was about to return to the ward, she saw Phillip, who was still wearing a hospital gown.

She was unable to move.

Phillip seemed to have been waiting for her outside for a long time.

It had only been a few days since they last saw each other, but his handsome face had visibly become thinner. And the original outline of his face had become even deeper. Phillip stared at her with his deep eyes. Ann felt a sense of guilt at the thought of the phone call.

She shifted her gaze away, pretending that she did not see him and was about to leave. But Phillip grabbed her by the wrist when she passed by.

Ann was about to struggle, but Phillip suddenly fell to the side.

"Phillip, stop pretending!"

Phillip was tall, Ann almost fell with him while she trying to support him.

She originally thought that this was Phillip's plan and wanted to push him away.

However, when she touched his body, she felt that her body temperature was a little abnormal.

Panicked, she gritted her teeth and helped Phillip sit down on a bench. She let Phillip lean on her shoulder and freed a hand to touch Phillip's forehead. He was having a high fever!

Ann frowned and patted Phillip's face. Seeing that he did not react, she felt anxious. She wanted to get up and call the nurse, but Phillip held her arm tightly. Ann looked at Phillip's pale handsome face, and his hand that refused to let go, her eyebrows tangled.

She tried to soften her tone and whispered into Phillip's ear.

"Phillip, let me go. I'm going to call the doctor for you."

Phillip did not loosen his grip.

Ann pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively.

"I'm not leaving. I'll be right back after calling the doctor. Okay?"

Ann was anxious and nervous. Only when she felt that Phillip had loosened her hand slightly did she hurriedly get up and run to replace the doctor.

Phillip, who had closed his eyes and fainted, opened his eyes shortly after Ann left.

Looking in the direction that Ann had left, he retracted his gaze and picked up the phone that Ann had left on the bench in a hurry.

He easily unlocked the password lock, and found the nearest call, and called over.

"Is this Mr. Emery? I am Ann's boyfriend, the father of her child..."

Emery was unexpectedly decisive. Phillip hung up the phone with satisfaction and deleted the call records.

Just as he was about to turn off the phone, he saw the screen of the phone change.

It was the back of a man.

The background was the amusement park that they went to on the day they officially started dating.

Thinking back to that time, she deliberately fell behind him for a long time, so it was for this?

Phillip's eyes darkened.

Hearing the hurried footsteps not far away, he put the phone back in its original position and closed his eyes. However, he couldn't calm down.

In Ward A01.

Ann was forced to sit beside Phillip's bed. Phillip was still holding her hand tightly. Aydan's gaze seemed to pierce through her. She didn't know how things suddenly turned out like this.

She wanted to leave directly after calling the doctor.

However, she found that she had left her phone on the bench. So she could only follow the doctor.

Just as she was about to take out her phone, Phillip grabbed her hand. No matter how she tried, she could not pull it away.

A large group of doctors and nurses were watching. She couldn't force it, so she could only follow.

The doctor gave Phillip a check-up and a drip.

"Doctor, how is my brother?" Aydan quickly followed.

Ann originally had her head lowered, as if she didn't care about all of this.

At this moment, she tilted her head slightly and listened to the doctor's reply.

"The patient had an operation and is weak. He needs to rest and recuperate. You need to pay attention to his diet. His nutrition hasn't caught up and the wound hasn't healed yet. Mr. Aydan, you should persuade him to take care of his health. Otherwise, I'm afraid the condition will be more serious."

Aydan sent the doctor away. Ann turned to look at Phillip who was lying on the bed.

She thought he was pretending, she didn't expect it to be true...

Ann looked at his exquisite and deep eyes in a daze.

If they... did not have that kind of relationship, how good would it be?

At this time, Aydan pushed open the door and came in. When he saw Ann, he frowned with dissatisfaction.

As he approached and saw the tears on Ann's face, he restrained his emotions.

His gaze fell on Phillip, who was sleeping on the bed. Aydan frowned, his expression complicated. He suppressed the thought of chasing Ann out and turned to leave.

After an unknown period, Ann fell asleep by the bedside of Phillip.

Phillip opened his eyes and turned his head to look at Ann, who was sprawled on the ground, sleeping.

Her chin became sharper and thinner. Even in her sleep, she still had tears in her eyes. He raised her hand and gently touched Ann's face, helping her wipe away the tears bit by bit. "Phillip..."

Phillip paused when he heard the unconscious murmurs in her sleep.

His deep eyes stared at her, and then he saw Ann's tears fall even more fiercely.

"Why, why us... If, if you weren't... how good would it be..."

Phillip frowned as he listened to Ann's intermittent words.

He wasn't? He wasn't what?

He waited with rapt attention for Ann to speak again, but Ann only shed tears.

Phillip pursed his thin lips, thinking about all possible reasons when his phone suddenly vibrated.

"Hey, Phillip, I heard you fainted again?"

Phillip frowned, looked at Ann who was still asleep and lowered his voice.

"What do you want to say?"

"It's like this. My subordinates sent news saying that Adam secretly returned to the country last night. But he did not return to River City. Instead, he went to a remote area. He has never given up searching for the whereabouts of his mother, Hilda. So we suspect that his abnormal behavior this time is related to Hilda."

"Continue to follow him!" Phillip said coldly.

As long as they could replace out the whereabouts of Hilda, they would replace out why she had designed to let Ann have three children five years ago.

"Alright! I'll get someone to keep an eye on him... By the way, I heard that Melinda and William knew each other before?"

"Is there any news?" Phillip asked with a cold look in his eyes.

"Originally, I wanted to send someone to Clear Water Town to investigate if there were any grudges between them in the past. However, the young people in that small town all moved around. The people living there were old people in their seventies and eighties with bad memories. They could barely remember people's names. However, I have already sent people to continue investigating. There should be news in a while."☐☐
