Renewal Of Love novel Chapter 188

In the examination room on the third floor, Anne stood by the door and waited quietly to be called. The physical examination was like a routine for her, so she wasn’t as anxious at all. For the sake of the baby, she had been regulating her emotions since she was pregnant. Her switch to a stress-free lifestyle should have done wonders for her. Her condition should be much better compared to before.

She glanced at the window, looked outside, and saw rows of green trees waving at her as the wind gently breezed in the warm afternoon. The scenery was contagiously serene, yet the expression in her eyes was vast and deep.

"Anne Luo?"

When Anne heard the doctor’s call that echoed the quiet halls, she immediately walked in.

The examination didn't take too long to conclude. It seemed everything ran so smoothly.

"Doctor, is everything okay with me?" asked Anne.

She didn't ask Sam anything before because she knew that he would tell her everything automatically, but the doctor in front of her was relatively new, and she didn't know how he was like.

"The result won't come out for the next two hours, but once I have it, I will surely inform you immediately. You can wait patiently for now," The doctor answered in the most professional tone, and Anne had to go outside to do as he said.

"Anne, how was the examination?" Emily asked while holding Charles in her arms.

Ever since Charles was diagnosed with his leukemia, he received the best and immediate medical attention, and his illness was thankfully recuperating by the day.

"I don't know yet. We’re going to have to wait for the results, but there shouldn’t be any problem," said Anne with a complacent smile.

"How is my great-grandson doing?" An anxious voice came from the silent corner of the corridor. Looking back, Anne found out it was Carl.

"He’s much better now. Grandpa, why did you come here? You should be at home resting and taking care of yourself." Anne was surprised that he was here. She was not averse to Carl so she spoke with some respect.

Hearing this, Carl frowned and said, "What's wrong with me coming here? I have never been better anyway. Can't I come and see my grandson occasionally?"

His words were a little rude, but Anne could see that he really liked Charles, so she was not provoked at all.

"Of course, you can. Although, Charles will be leaving soon, I could ask the driver to take you home," said Anne.

"No, there’s no need for that. By the way, didn't you say that you would give Charles a handsome name? How does Edward Fu sound like?" said Carl as he nodded his head. He seemed to be very satisfied with the name he suggested.

Hearing that, Anne also thought it was a good idea. She affirmed, "That's actually a good one."

But Anne's smiling face faded once Carl spoke of another suggestion.

"How about the nickname? We should change it as well," Carl proposed seriously.

"Why? I think Charles is a good name. I don't want the name to be too flashy. A heavy name just might put pressure on him. I was hoping that he remains healthy all his life," Anne insisted.

However, Carl was a little dissatisfied. He said, "My great-grandson is absolutely not an ordinary person. He will do wonders as he grows to be an outstanding man. The name Charles is not in line with my great-grandson's temperament!"

Seeing that Carl contended with assertion, Anne thought it was not appropriate to refuse. She had to be obedient for the sake of the child.

"Alright, have you thought of a name yet?" Anne asked curiously.

"Eddy. I want him to be called Eddy. He's so brilliant that everyone can't come up to be on par with him. He's going to be exceptional, but not like his father. Kevin is so full of glory that he doesn't know how to restrain himself or see kindness in other people, especially to those who care for him," Carl explained seriously.

Suddenly, Anne was moved. She admired Carl even more. His kind words were far from what she had expected to come out of his mouth.

She had always thought that Carl regarded Kevin as a perfect man, but he saw greater potential in her child. Carl didn't speak much about Kevin, but he knew him very well. It turned out that he was an observant and honest person.

"That is so true, Grandpa. I think the nickname fits him very well," said Anne in approval.

"And I think he likes it too. Look, Eddy is smiling," said Emily excitedly, pinching Edward's little face.

Suddenly, the smile on Carl's face widened like a ray of sunshine. When he looked at Edward, his eyes were full of warmth, and when Anne saw the expression on his face, she was touched by the pureness of the moment, so she too wore a beautiful smile.

"Before we head back, Emily will accompany you back home, okay? I still have something to do, but I'll be right behind you," said Anne to Carl.

Soon the night fell into darkness and the whole hospital was shrouded in a hazy atmosphere.

The busy hospital soon grew weary after a long day of service. Anne stayed for her test results, and she returned to the hall to see the doctor who had examined her.

"You’re just in time, Anne. Here is the result of the examination." The doctor gave her the result without any hints about what kind of news she was about to read.

Anne took the piece of paper and looked at the examination result casually. She found the words ‘permanent injury of the uterus’ in bold. She thought she had seen it wrong, so she read it twice, but the words were just the same. She realized that she saw it correctly the first time.

"What does this mean?" pointing at the words, she asked in confusion as she started to panic.

But the man said lightly, "I’m afraid your uterus has been damaged. This means that you are no longer capable of bearing a child," the doctor answered.

"That's impossible! I'm in good health. How did this happen? Why can't I have a baby?" The news threw Anne in a state of incredible disbelief, and her face sulked as if she was thrown into a dark and cold cave, lost and helpless.

"We don't know the reason yet. Was there a possible trauma that could have caused this complication? Maybe, you have suffered irreversible damage from before. If you are worried, you can always go for a second opinion, have it checked somewhere else just to be sure, but your results don’t have irregularities. The result is likely conclusive." The doctor's cold words confirmed that she indeed had some problems, but he was unaware of the grave implication of her infertility. Without her ability to make life, she would also be incapable of saving another.

"Are you okay?" the doctor asked. When Anne was about to faint, the doctor reached out to help her, but she slowly pushed him away and barely had the strength to keep her balance.

Like a puppet, Anne dragged her feet across the hall to the exit, step by step as slow as the creeping dim of the dusk without saying another word.

Standing outside the gloomy hospital, she didn't know where to go. Her mind was out of place and her heart was repeatedly flooded by the devastating disclosure.

If she couldn't give birth to a baby, then Edward would have no donor to save his life. What was going to happen to him now that all his chances of surviving were as slim as a twig?

She continued to walk facing her feet. She had left the hospital unconsciously and lost her sense of direction. Her figure was like a wilting rose, and her expression was dead. There seemed to be dried rivers of tears on her face from all the crying she had done, but now she was just cold and blank.

The deepest despair came from the highest of hopes. She was extremely excited to learn that her son’s way out of misery was right there inside her, but that enthusiasm turned into oblivion as it disappeared in the pouring disappointment. She was broken, both literally and figuratively.

Out of the blue, a voice said, "Miss. Are you okay?" On the broad road, the sound of an emergency brake screeched as the man spoke. The dazzling light lit her face, but she did not blink. All the driver could see was her lifeless expression.

Anne didn't say a word, but her arm was accidentally grazed by the side mirror as the car moved towards her. Mark Mu was the name the man claimed to have. The accident made him worried and he pleaded to take her to the hospital to be treated.

"I'm sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I'll take all the responsibility for the poor driving. Allow me to take you to the hospital and have you checked. I’ll even pay for it!" Mark Mu said politely.

However, Anne, who had remained silent, suddenly shook her head and said with great resistance, "Don't take me to the hospital! I don't want to go to the hospital!"

With these words, Anne hugged herself in her embrace. She doesn’t want to go home with the devastating news, and she was too rattled to think rationally.

"Mr. Mark, what should we do with her? We're going to be behind schedule," the person accompanying him said. They were getting late for a business appointment. A delay could have crucial consequences for their company, but Mark Mu was quick to decide.

"It doesn't matter. Call my brother and ask him to deal with the matter there by himself. Let's take her home first. We’ll give her first aid."

At this time, it seemed that Anne didn't realize it, but Mark Mu already pulled her into the car.

When they arrived, she was greeted by a wide living room that was decorated with luxurious and rustic European style interiors. There were layers of beads on the window, which were densely packed but orderly dropped down. The heating in the room had been turned on, and the temperature was set to maintain a comfortable 26 Degrees Celsius. Mark Mu had immediately taken off his coat, but Anne didn't move at all. Her limbs were frozen, and her eyes were blank.

"I'm going to treat you, okay? It may hurt a little so just tell me if you can't handle it," Mark Mu said patiently. However, he was met with nothing but empty silence.

"What the hell are you doing? You told me you would go with me and talk about the case, then you cancelled on me the last minute?" An angry voice resonated from an unknown man in a corner which made Mark Mu frown.

"Brother, watch your mouth. We have a visitor," Mark Mu said to Trey in a cold voice.

"Who is this woman? Wait… Anne?" Trey asked in surprise as his eyes widened and his jaw dropped.

He didn't expect to see Anne at his brother's house, but it appeared that she was shaken. Something wrong must have happened to her.

"You know each other?" Mark Mu asked.

"Of course, I know her. She is the designer of our Rebirth Series, the genius behind the rebuilding popularity of our M Group," Trey said seriously as he rushed to check on Anne.

"She’s the designer? But what do you think happened to her?" Mark Mu was puzzled by the unknown story behind her poor state,

but his concern made Trey roll his eyes. He said, "I just came back from Europe. How would I know? Why are you asking me? Why don't you ask her?"

"Will I ask you if she already answered me? She hasn’t said a word except ‘don’t take me to the hospital.’" Mark Mu made a mocking face as he was not satisfied with his brother's remark.

"Maybe, she is just in a bad mood, but go ahead and take good care of her. I’ll deal with some clients. I won't be back in two months. This one’s urgent," Trey said.

Although he also wanted to stay here to take care of Anne, business was more important. He had to make the choice of leaving her in his brother’s protection.

"Okay, but could you at least tell me where she lives? Maybe someone to call?" Mark Mu couldn't help but complain about his brother's lack of empathy.

"I don't know," Trey answered confidently.

Then he glanced at the pitiful Anne and said with hesitation, "You can try Kevin Fu."

"Kevin Fu? The CEO of AN Group? Is she his wife or something?" Mark Mu was shocked. Why was she in such a dangerous place? The freeway was no place for a big shot's wife to wander around.

"No, she’s his ex-wife." After that revelation, Trey stormed out of the room without saying anything else.

"You could have said they divorced. You have to watch out for that mean mouth of yours." Mark Mu shook his head in disappointment as if he was not used to Trey's sharp tongue.

After carefully applying first-aid, Mark Mu finally let out a sigh of relief. He said, "Miss Anne, I'm sorry for what happened. You can stay in for the night, and have some rest. If there's anything you need, please tell the servants. Just ask them for what you want to eat or if you need anything."

After saying that, Mark Mu stood up and left. However, the look on Anne's face was still plain but dejected.

In the Fu Family's Villa, the bright lights gleamed like a beacon.

Rows of brilliance illuminated the rooms that were far more dazzling than those installed in the most deluxe hotel in the city. The house overlooked the lake, so the lights reflected the house's silhouette in the water like a painting.

With the sound of the smooth engine, Kevin's Rolls-Royce appeared at the front driveway. He opened the door, stepped out and handed the key to the valet servant. Then he walked directly inside.

He took off his suit jacket and a servant came to take it from him. In the living room, Emily was sitting there giving Edward a lullaby.

"Good evening, Mr. Kevin. Mr. Carl was here but he couldn't wait for you, so he left a few moments ago. But he did ask me to tell you that they decided to change this cute child's name. He is now Edward Fu a.k.a. Eddy." Emily passed on Carl's words to Kevin with a smile.

However, Kevin just nodded slightly and didn’t seem to care. He asked, "Where is Anne? Why isn’t she here taking care of the baby?"

Suddenly, Emily grew a little anxious and said, "I thought she was with you."
