Sweet Pregnant Wife: CEO Phillip's Fierce Love novel Chapter 181

Aydan peeped at Ann and frowned.

Then, Aydan gazed at Phillip sadly, who was lying on the bed.

"Especially the last two days, he went to a neighboring city on business. He and his partners were busy preparing for the negotiation and didn't sleep for several days. He almost blacked out before the meeting began. When the negotiation was over, he suddenly suggested visiting the set where you shot the commercials. He got a stomachache after leaving the set. Unexpectedly, he passed out today."

Ann felt sorry when hearing this.

She thought, 'Phillip just came back from the neighboring city after negotiating before he went to the set.

He rushed there for my sake...'

Seeing that Ann didn't react to his words, Aydan frowned.

Aydan thought, 'What's wrong with her? I've explained so clearly.

Now Phillip is in a coma. Does she not feel guilty at all?'

As Aydan was about to speak it out, Phillip suddenly opened his eyes.

Phillip gazed at Ann the moment he woke up.

When Ann looked into Phillip's eyes, she clenched two hands together and was in a daze.

Now Phillip seemed calm.

Phillip's gaze fell on Fred, who stood behind Ann. However, Phillip turned around to glance at Aydan, who looked anxious.

"I'm okay."

Aydan was stunned. He thought, 'What happened? Have I misunderstood again?'

Looking around suspiciously, Aydan rolled his eyes and suddenly realized something.

Aydan said angrily, "Nonsense! The doctor just said that your stomach should be removed if you were rushed to the hospital later."

Phillip turned his pale face around without saying anything.

Aydan complained, "How could you do this simply for a woman? You're too busy to eat or sleep every day. Yet, you still pay attention to her. Do you think she cares? She only wants to pursue her own happiness. Your stomach is almost cut, but she doesn't offer to care about you."

"Shut up!"

Aydan might enjoy acting or become really angry. He dared to disobey Phillip.

"I won't remain quiet. Why can't I speak?" Aydan raised his chest and turned around to glare at Ann.

Ann felt extremely guilty when Aydan glared at her.

She didn't even dare to look at Phillip.

Ann just wanted Philip to forget her instead of letting him suffer the pain together with her.

However, everything was out of her control now.

"I'm sorry..."

Ann lowered her head and muttered.

Phillip looked at Ann, who stood there helplessly. Then, he smiled gently.

"This isn't your fault."

Aydan seized the opportunity and walked to Ann.

"If you really feel sorry for Phillip, then stay here to take care of him until he recovers!"

Ann blinked her eyes and frowned. She hesitated.

Fred stood aside watching all this. It seemed that he saw through something and smiled.

Then, Fred stretched his hand to hold Ann's shoulders and said in a gentle voice.

"I'm afraid your suggestion isn't proper. Ann is my girlfriend now. Although I don't object to her care for Philip, I will be jealous if she takes care of a man for a long time."

The gentle smile on Phillip's handsome face disappeared. Phillip squinted his eyes and shot Fred a cold gaze.

Fred looked back at Phillip calmly, "If it's needed, I can hire a professional helper to take care of Mr. Phillip."

Aydan became anxious. He strode forward and flung Fred's hand away from Ann's shoulders. Then, Aydan pulled Fred's arm seemingly affectionately.

"Mr. Fred, how can I bother you with such a trivial thing? Actually, I am your fan. Can we have a word..."

While dragging Fred out of the sickroom, Aydan closed the door with his foot.

Only Ann and Phillip were left in the sickroom.

...

The sickroom suddenly remained quiet. Standing there, Ann wanted to leave. However, Aydan's words made her feel guilty.

Nevertheless, Ann didn't know how to face Phillip.

Thus, she only clenched her sleeves with both hands and looked down at her feet.

Finally, Phillip spoke.

"Ann."

Hearing his voice, Ann trembled suddenly and clenched her sleeves more tightly, not daring to look at Phillip.

"Look at me. I want to talk with you." Phillip seemed to be a little bit helpless.

Ann bit her lower lip and hesitated for a long time. Finally, she raised her head and looked into Phillip's gentle eyes.

"Ann, have you really decided to be his girlfriend?"

Ann hesitated. She opened her mouth, wanting to speak. However, his affectionate gaze made her unable to utter a word.

As a result, Ann simply bit her lips and nodded.

The light in Phillip's eyes disappeared. Sorrow appeared in his pale and handsome face.

Ann felt pain after seeing his facial expression. She put her hands behind her back and clenched her fingers tightly, in order to restrain her impulse to embrace Phillip.

After a long time, it seemed that Phillip made up his mind.

"Ann, I will try to forget you..."

Phillip said this sentence in a sobbing voice.

When Ann heard this, she also felt sad.

"However, I can't drive you out of my mind easily. I love you so deeply."

Ann felt her eyes become wet and tears fall.

"So, could you please not dodge me? Could we be friends? If I can't be your boyfriend, let me be your friend, okay?"

Philip, who was always proud, was now lying on the hospital bed and pleaded with Ann.

Ann had a lump in her throat and burst into tears.

Phillip rose to his feet and walked to Ann.

Due to illness, his pale face made him less look sullen. With a tall figure, Phillip gazed at Ann affectionately.

Then, Phillip wiped the tears on Ann's face.

"You silly girl, I should cry. Why are you crying?"

Looking at Phillip with tears in her eyes, Ann stood there and burst into tears as if she had lost something forever.

...

Ann followed Fred out of the hospital. Under the pressure of Aydan, Ann promised to come to see Phillip again tomorrow.

However, the premise was that she would come with Fred.

Although Aydan was unwilling, he could only grit his teeth and give in due to Ann's resolution.

Aydan scolded secretly, 'She's so heartless.

Phillip is still sick. Yet, she brings a man to hurt Phillip. Anyway, I must come up with an idea to take Fred out of the sickroom.'

Phillip met Fred's meaningful gaze before Fred left. Phillip squinted his eyes but sneered.

Fred was slightly stunned. Then, he smiled.

Phillip leaned against the bed and turned around to appreciate the golden sunset outside the window. The smile disappeared from his face. An indiscernible emotion flashed through his eyes.

Phillip thought, 'Carson and Jackson have been taken away to another city. Even if I tell Ann the truth of that year, she won't accept it.

Before that, I can only compromise temporarily. At least, I should make Ann stop dodging me.

I won't let Fred be Ann's boyfriend.'
