Renewal Of Love

Chapter 424 A New Life

"Humph!" With a snort, Emily said, "Until now, they haven't figured out the patients' cause of death yet.

They're all blindly blaming Sam and insisting on killing him. Are they savages?"

The situation was drastic. Anne sighed and replied, "They lost their loved ones. All of them are very

angry right now. Don't take it to heart. I'm sure they will all calm down after a while. Don't worry, we'll

always be here to support you."

There was nothing else left to say. Emily just nodded in response.

Seriously, Kevin and Sam looked at each other. 'This is definitely not a simple matter!'

On one hand, Kevin's company was in trouble. A shareholder who held 5% worth of stocks had died!

That shareholder was merely in his early 40s. The sudden death was really surprising.

On top of that, the shareholder didn't leave any will so his son automatically inherited the shares. That

son wasn't interested in business before and was only known as a playboy. Kevin got worried that the

shares would be endangered so he tried to buy it, but the shareholder's son was unexpectedly

determined not to sell!

He was really hardheaded about it and nothing Kevin did could convince him to do so. There was no

other choice but to give up.

On the other hand, Bob's parents had been staying with them for a while now. There was still no news

about Bob, and this got them more and more worried as time went by.

After receiving a phone call from them, Anne and Kevin came to visit the couple. They brought some

meat and vegetables with them.

The house they currently stayed in belonged to Anne so there wasn't any need to charge for it, but

Bob's parents were insistent. They wanted to pay rent, so Anne had no choice but to name a price.

Unfortunately, Bob's parents were really resolute in paying so they went out to find jobs and tirelessly

saved up.

There was one time Anne visited and saw that they were only eating steamed buns. She truly felt bad

for them.

After all, this was the couple whom Anne requested to give up their son's heart. She had a soft spot for

them, of course.

Knocking on the door, Anne and Kevin waited outside until it was opened. When Bob's parents saw the

meat and vegetables, they frowned and immediately said, "We don't need that. We have enough food

here. It would be better for you to take it back home and feed your children with it. Growing youngsters

should eat a lot."

They knew by now that Anne and Kevin had three kids.

Unsurprisingly, children were a sensitive topic. The eyes of Bob's parents turned red as they thought

about their son. They hadn't heard any news about him for a long time now.

It seemed to be the right decision not to tell Bob's parents about the kidnapping done by Kim. As a

cruel and merciless man, Kim would most likely kill Bob's parents if they went to see him. Anne kept

the information to herself to protect them.

"There are still a lot of things under investigation that we cannot divulge to you. But we have secured a

method to know that Bob is safe right now. Although he relapsed, he has been receiving treatment that

is even better than what the hospital can give him," said Anne as the teary eyed couple softened her

heart.

The couple raised their heads in surprise. Firmly, Anne nodded and said, "It's true. I'm not lying to you."

A surge of bliss filled up their hearts. The couple couldn't stop smiling at the great news. They shouted,

"That's great! That's great!"

"That's wonderful! Bob is fine!"

The mother said as she cried out tears of joy. She had been so worried about her child! This news

eased up her anxiety a little.

With a sigh, Kevin glanced at Anne and helplessly shook his head.

As much as they were happy for the other couple, they hadn't forgotten their true intentions. They still

needed Bob's heart!

They wouldn't know what to say to the child and his family when the time came. They wouldn't be able

to offer anything but a sincere apology.

"What method did you use to obtain that information? You know his current situation, but how come

you don't know his exact location?" Frowning at Anne, Bob's mother gradually became wary.

'She knows Bob's current condition, but she doesn't know where he is. How is that possible?'

Silently, Anne stared at Bob's mother with a deep frown.

"You've found him, haven't you?" A swift step forward was all it took for Bob's mother to grab Anne's

arm. Her eyes were filled with so much anger. "You found him, but you didn't bring him home to us.

What are you planning to do instead? Will you dig his heart out and give it to your son?!"

What happened last time was unforgettable for her. Immediately, Kevin pulled Bob's mother away in

fear that she would hurt his wife.

Panicking, Anne shook her head and explained, "No, it's not like that. We haven't found him!"

"Then how can you possibly know his current condition?" The badgering questions continued to come

out from Bob's mother.

It wasn't just her, though. Bob's father didn't trust Anne as well.

In need of backup, Anne turned to Kevin. He instantly clarified, "Since you really want to know, Bob is

in the hands of a very powerful person. That's all I can tell you about that man. We had news about

your child recently, but they moved him to another place and disappeared."

While all these were happening in the past few days, Bob's parents constantly asked Anne and the

police for updates. Regrettably, the police said that the criminal was very smart and cautious, so they

didn't have any evidence yet.

So now…

"What should we do, then? My Bob…" Finally, Bob's mother took a step back and let go of Anne. Her

eyes looked slightly unfocused.

"He'll be fine," said Anne in a low voice.

A bitter smiled appeared on the face of Bob's mother. Suddenly, her legs gave up which led her to

kneel on the ground. It was so unexpected, but the next scene was worse. Her body slowly fell back

down.

'She fainted?'

"Oh my God, what's wrong?!" Panic immediately consumed Bob's father as he tried to pinch his wife's

philtrum. However, it didn't have any effect. She remained unconscious with her eyes closed.

"Let's bring her to the hospital right now!" Within the next second, Kevin called for an ambulance.

Recently, it seemed like they had plenty of reasons to go back to the hospital. Anne sighed as she

looked back at Kevin's tall figure.

At the hospital, the doctor broke another surprising news. Apparently, Bob's mother had been pregnant

for one and a half months now.

It was a fairly new pregnancy which meant that bodily changes weren't easy to notice yet. Also, Bob

had just disappeared. They really had a lot on their plate, so it was understandable for them not to

notice the pregnancy. At the moment, Bob's mother was in a coma due to emotional stress and

malnourishment.

The doctor advised her to take care of herself since they had detected a sign of miscarriage. If

something else were to happen, the baby would face the risk of abortion.

The couple was old. They believed they couldn't conceive another child unless they used advanced

medical technology, but they were proven wrong.

The pregnancy news didn't generate any excitement. It actually left the couple shocked and upset.

They miserably cried as they looked at each other.

There was so much going on. Bob was still in the hands of a bad guy and they were going to have a

new baby. To add more, all of their savings had been spent on Bob's hospital fees. Their entire family

was in utter despair.

How could they raise another child?

The sudden news anguished them.

"Don't think too much. God has given you another child, you're lucky. You have to take good care of

yourself so you can give birth safely." The sincerity oozed in Anne's eyes as she held the pregnant

mother's hand.

Subconsciously, Bob's mother nodded and touched her belly. She closed her eyes, but tears continued

to fall out of them.

She was carrying a baby!

'Back then, the doctor told us that the probability of suffering from blood disease is very small. That

must mean that the baby in my belly will be very healthy, right?'

The question Selma asked her before once again plagued her mind.

'The baby will be born into a poor household. Will the kid hate us when he or she grows up like Selma

mentioned before?

In addition, my pregnancy will need a very large amount of money. Can my husband earn enough to

support us?

Besides, does this mean… If we give birth to this baby, we must give up on Bob?

Both of them are our kids. I love them both with all my heart. I will be devastated no matter which one I

let go.'

"Are we really going to keep this baby?" asked Bob's mother. She looked at her husband with eyes full

of inquiry and uncertainty.

Sternly, Bob's father said, "Of course we'll keep it. That's our child!"

She wanted to talk about it some more, but it was hard to discuss family matters in the presence of

Anne and Kevin.

However, they had been married for a long time already, so her husband naturally understood what she

was trying to say. Sighing heavily, he reassured her, "There are some things that you don't need to

think about. I am your husband. You just have to take care of yourself and I will deal with the rest."

An idea popped into Anne's mind. She looked at Kevin, but he shook his head in response. Although

Bob's parents were good mannered, they weren't people who easily bowed their heads. It would be

regarded as an insult if Anne and Kevin offered them money.

It would be better for them not to risk offending Bob's parents.

Earlier, they had asked Anne and Kevin to take away the food they brought but now they had no choice

but to keep it.

There had just been a sign of miscarriage. It would be best for Bob's mother to be well nourished

during this pregnancy.

She shouldn't suffer as much as she did before.

"This hospital is fancy. It must be very expensive to stay here, right? I'm fine now. Let me leave this

hospital." Only one day had passed by then. Bob's mother made sure that there was nothing wrong

with her body and immediately asked to leave.

This time, Anne visited on her own.

There was moment of hesitation on Bob's father's face, but he nodded in agreement in the end. The

cost of staying in the hospital was too much for them to afford.

After they got home, Anne came by with nutritious food that she had cooked.

"Although it doesn't look that appetizing, I promise it tastes good. Have a bite." With a smile, Anne

handed them the chopsticks.

The two looked at each other with unsure faces. Neither of them began to eat.

The dishes were extravagant. There was chicken, duck, fish, lobster, and even abalone. These kinds of

food were very expensive. It wasn't something they could afford!

"I'm healthy, Anne. I don't need to eat these. I…" Embarrassment flashed in the eyes of Bob's mother

as she lowered her head. Her black hair had turned white in the past few days. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

With a heavy sigh, Anne put down her chopsticks and seriously turned to the two. She felt very guilty.

In a low voice, she said, "The truth is, it was us who got you into all these troubles. We were the bad

guy's target, but Bob is the one they kidnapped. I feel so indebted to you. Let me compensate you by

giving things such as these!

I know you personally don't need it but for the baby's sake, please eat."

A deep sigh escaped Bob's mother as she accepted that Anne had a point. It wasn't only about her

now. She also had to think about the baby's wellbeing. She had no choice but to pick the chopsticks up

and swallow the food in front of her.

Since Bob got sick, they hadn't eaten anything like this. They usually just ate cheap food that could fill

their stomachs.

Of course, Bob's father felt the same way too. After a few seconds, they finally enjoyed and wolfed

down the lunch.

Lowering her head, Anne felt a heaviness in her chest. 'Poor them!'
