Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 386 The Truth (Part One)

The result implied that someone injected a drug into her.

The disbelief within Anne's eyes was so apparent that Sam didn't know what to say. He squatted down and explained to her slowly, "Kevin wasn't lying when he told you that all your feelings right now are fake."

With a deep frown on her face, she asked, "I come to hate what I like while I start to like what I hated the most. Is that it?"

He nodded at her. "Exactly."

"I don't―I don't believe such things. How could there be such a drug in the world? Did you conspire with Kevin and came up with this lie?" She threw him a dagger look and added, "I know that in my heart, I sincerely like Kim. And he also likes me just as much. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done those crazy things for me. Just because you know Kevin doesn't mean you should help him in this way!"

When he saw how desperate Anne as she tried to defend herself, Sam let out a defeated sigh and shook his head helplessly. He pulled her up slowly and said, "Come here. There are some relevant materials that I want you to see."

Anne just nodded her head and followed Sam to his lab. Her eyes were filled with confusion as she stared at the bunch of doctors in their lab gowns.

"The drastic change in Rose's behavior was suspicious. After some time, she recalled that Kim was the one behind such change. That's why we were worried about you when you got taken away by him," he began.

"Kevin had to make a lot of phone calls just to find out the origin of the drug. It turned out that it was developed by a genius madman but because it violates human rights, he was banned together with his

product. That's the reason why he hadn't developed an antidote.

Just as we had expected, you were already injected with the drug when you came back. Kevin spent a lot of money and hired these medical experts to try and develop a remedy, so that you can return to normal," he explained further and stared deep into her eyes.

"The thing is, developing a remedy for something that someone spent their whole life inventing is too farfetched. Fortunately, after a lot of calculations, we found that after a year of consumption, the drug will lose its effect. By then, you will return to normal." As he explained everything to Anne, he took out the documents and handed them to her.

Even after hearing his elaboration, she couldn't grasp anything at all. She took the documents and skimmed through them. There were a lot of terminologies and jargons that she couldn't understand. However, there were these words that made her knees went weak: 'Causing change in the way of thinking.'

She didn't believe in Kevin, but she did in Kim. She was convinced that Kim loved her and wouldn't do anything that would harm her.

Now she realized how ironic it was.

"Simon, Sally, and Eddy are all my children but when I met them for the first time, I felt a sense of disgust. It was weird because I was affectionate with them in my memory. Now that I thought about it, maybe it was because of Kevin. Since I was in love with him, I've come to hate him and everything related to him," she spat out with a mocking smile on her lips. "I didn't expect that a drug would be the cause of it all."

The man whom she trusted did such a thing to her. How could he disappoint her like that?

"The person that you love is Kevin and not Kim. The drug made you hate what you used to like. That's why it's hate that you feel towards Kevin now." Sam sighed dejectedly.

At that, blood drained in her face. She crept her hand over her chest unconsciously. It was as if something wanted to burst out but was constantly restrained. It was uncomfortable.

She didn't need to be a brainer to know that it was because of the drug.

But what had she done under the effect of the drug? Like a bolt of lightning, everything she found out took a toll on her. She suddenly felt weak that she staggered on her feet.

Good thing, Sam was quick to catch her but that was before he heard a woman's sneer.

He stiffened at the displeased sound and turned around. Standing by the door was Emily with her arms crossed over her chest. She was staring at him with disappointment.

His heart thumped hard against its cage. Just great!

Anne just found out the truth and reflexively, Sam tried to catch her when she was about to collapse. Unfortunately, Emily had witnessed that.

She had always believed that the person he loved was Anne. The happening that just transpired might have made things worse.

With a scowl on her face, she walked towards them slowly. On the other hand, Sam was shaking his head while Anne stood back on her feet.

"Emily, it's not what you think. Listen to me, please!" Sam pleaded with a dejected look on his face.

She only threw him a sarcastic smile as she gave him a once-over. This was her husband, yet she couldn't feel like he was at all. He wasn't home almost all the time and he had been acting indifferent

towards her. But when it came to Anne, he was enthusiastic as a kid in a park.

"Sam, have you forgotten? I am your wife." Even though she was calm, there was a warning in her eyes.

He nodded at her and muttered, "Emily, it's not what you think. Anne was a bit unstable after she found out the truth. I only helped her to stable her body―"

"I trust you," she cut him off, a bitter smile on her face.
