Sweet Pregnant Wife: CEO Phillip's Fierce Love

Walking out of the elevator, Ann thought back to Phillip's expression, which was mixed with anger, confusion, and loss.

She unconsciously clenched her fists, letting her nails stick into her flesh.

She wanted to rush out of the elevator and hug him.

She couldn't bear to let him, who had always been proud and calm, suffer from these negative emotions.

'Ann, you are my biological daughter. I am the one who gave birth to you.'

Ann stood at the door of William's ward, kept recalling what Melinda just said.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before she felt calmer and opened the door.

After she came in, she saw that William was already awake and lying on the bed.

Only then did she feel slightly delighted.

She walked over and said, "Dad."

She was so excited and relieved that she began to sob.

William seemed to be deep in thought when he heard Ann's voice and turned around.

Even though Ann was wearing makeup, he could still tell the sorrow and tiredness on her face.

He held Ann's hand and let her sit down.

"Sorry to have you worried about me."

Ann shook her head, saying nothing while holding William's hand that was so thin due to the illness.

William knew what was in her mind, but he could only sigh and pat Ann's hand.

They remained silent for a while. Then, William seemed to make some kind of determination and looked up at Ann with firmness. "Ann, do you hate me for forcing you to break up with Phillip?"

Ann pursed her lips and shook her head.

Seeing that she had become thinner recently, William felt a mix of love, guilt, and concern.

He said, "You've always been my sweetest angel. Since I don't want to talk about your mother, you've never asked me about her."

Ann froze and looked up at William.

He continued with a self-mocking and bitter tone, "I think you have heard that your mother abandoned us for a rich man and the wealthy life he could bring her."

"I knew that your mother would leave us, but I didn't want to admit it. I knew that she had a relationship with others before she married me, but I loved her so much that I didn't care. And I was even more tolerant with her affairs after she gave birth to you. Therefore, I never forced her to register for marriage with me."

Ann felt William tighten his grip on her, sensing that he hadn't completely let go of the past.

"I should have known that she never forgot about the man who once abandoned her. That was why she left with him without hesitation. All these years, I worked hard to earn as much money as possible so that she would regret leaving me one day. But another day, I saw her on TV."

He was framed and lost everything. While he was hospitalized because of serious illness, she was still radiant and had become a popular and respected singer.

Ann asked with her eyelashes fluttering, "Is that woman Melinda?"

Although she had learned the truth from Melinda, she still felt shocked when she heard this from William.

William was surprised that Ann should guess out.

He asked, "Have you met her?"

Ann turned away, not wanting William to see the sadness in her eyes.

William remembered that Melinda had called him before he fainted.

He said with resentment in his eyes, "Has she told you everything?" Ann nodded.

William clenched his fists, cursing this heartless woman in his heart.

He couldn't believe that she would tell Ann in such a hurry just for her luxurious life and her son.

He had thought about telling Ann about the truth bit by bit, so she could slowly accept the situation. However, Melinda had ruined his carefulness for Ann.

Seeing Ann's desperate expression, he held back his curses and hurriedly comforted her.

"Ann, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been blinded by her, you wouldn't have... It's all my fault!"

If he had not been so obsessed with Melinda that he didn't want to let her go, and if he had discovered the relationship between Melinda and Phillip earlier, he would not have had her daughter suffering right

now.
