Renewal Of Love

Chapter 507 A Nightmare

Anne closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She knew it was not a coincidence.

Kim had concealed the truth from everyone. If he wanted to stay undercover, he had to live in a

different city and start a different life where nobody knew him. Anne couldn't understand why he had

appeared in front of her again. The mere thought of it confused her even more. She couldn't

understand his motives.

No one but Kim could tell the reason why he was here.

Anne bit her lip and blew out a loud breath. Kevin had gone on a business trip. She wondered if she

should inform him about it.

Moreover, the police had arrested Kim and captured his loyal followers. She couldn't fathom his power

and the things he was capable of doing now.

The fear of the unknown made her restless.

When Anne had told the police about Kim, they were equally surprised. After executing him, the police

checked the body to make sure they had shot the right person. However, the man's sudden

appearance frightened them to death.

Was the man back from the dead? The court had closed all the cases against him. If he were still alive,

the police wouldn't be able to take any action against him.

They were facing a powerful opponent now. Kim was now stronger than he had ever been.

"Mrs. Anne, you might be wrong. We meet a lot of people who look alike. That doesn't prove that he is

Kim. It could be a mere illusion," said the police officer.

Anne nodded, smiling bitterly.

She couldn't tell if it was an illusion or not. However, regardless of what it was, she decided to be

careful from now on.

Anne returned home late at night. The children were fast asleep. Only Selma was watching TV in the

hall.

A frown lined her forehead when she saw the worried look on Anne's face. "What happened?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Anne plopped on the sofa and turned to look at her mother-in-law.

Everything was a mess. She rubbed her temples, trying hard to accept the fact.

Her life would become complicated if Kim was still alive. She wouldn't be able to handle it all by herself.

Anne and Kevin were the reason why Kim had turned into a desperate man. She knew the man very

well. He was perhaps lurking in the dark, waiting for the right opportunity to take his revenge. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Although Kim didn't shoot Anne today, but the thief. She wondered if it was a warning.

Anne held Selma's hand and took a deep breath to gather her words. "Mom, I think Kim is still alive!"

"What?" Selma almost choked. Her eyes widened with disbelief. The police had confirmed Kim's death.

How could he still be alive?

Anne leaned against the sofa and told her about what had happened. The woman's every word

frightened Selma.

When Anne was in danger, Kim had shot the man just in time. It only proved that he had been following

her all along, but no one had noticed him.

Besides, Kim knew the school where the kids studied. He was a heartless beast who could do

anything. Selma feared that Kim might target her grandchildren. No one could save them from him if he

attacked the little ones.

The blood on Selma's face drained in an instant. She craned her neck to look at the children's room.

Fortunately, the kids were sleeping peacefully in their rooms. Kim hadn't attacked the children yet. If

something happened to them, they would live the rest of their lives in regret.

Kevin was in a different city now. Therefore, the two had to somehow keep the kids safe.

"Well, now isn't the time to analyze whether it was an illusion or not. We can't afford to take risks. I don't

think it is safe for Eddy to go to school; ask the teacher for a long leave. Call Kevin and ask him to

come back soon," Selma ordered. Nothing else was more important to her in the world than her

grandchildren.

They could earn money and wealth any time. But if something happened to the kids, they would have

to live with the pain and loss until their last breath.

It was better to be safe than sorry.

Anne bit her lip and nodded. The Fu Family's residence was the safest place now. She decided to keep

her kids under her vigilant eyes.

Without any further delay, Anne took her phone and dialed Kevin's number. But he didn't answer. She

gulped, wondering why he hadn't picked the call. Anne took a deep breath and called him again.

After a couple of rings, Kevin finally picked the call. "Anne, why are you calling at this hour? Shouldn't

you be sleeping? Is something wrong?" His voice was raspy as he had just woken up.

Anne's heart slowed down after listening to her husband's voice -- she felt safe.

The world was a dangerous place to live, and problems happened in ways beyond one's

comprehension. However, Anne felt safe if Kevin was by her side. She could hide under his protective

embrace and forget all the danger and trouble that awaited her.

She trusted him; he was her pillar of strength.

"Kevin..." Anne sounded calm and composed. "Something happened today..."

That was the third time Anne had narrated the incident. She explained every little detail while Kevin

listened to her with rapt attention.

Kevin sat up on the bed and lit a cigarette. All traces of sleep left him in an instant.

Anne had lived with Kim for two long years. She despised the man but knew him well enough to spot

him even from a distance. Besides, except for Kim, no one in the world had the audacity to kill

someone in broad daylight before coming to see her.

All the problems in their lives had ended with Kim's death. At first, Kevin didn't believe that Kim was

dead -- everything had happened too fast. But he had seen the man's corpse with his own eyes.

'So you are still alive, Kim! You are hiding in A City, huh?'

Although Kim was a powerful man then, the police had deployed many police officers to deal with him

because he had caused a sensation all over the country. It had been a pre-planned encounter.

Although the police force hadn't captured all his people, it was definitely a heavy blow to them. Even if

Kim were still alive, he wouldn't be as powerful as he once was. He wouldn't stand a chance against

Kevin.

But the more he had lost, the more desperate he might become.

Now that the man had nothing to lose, the sole purpose of his life was to seek revenge. Kim was the

dangerous leopard that could attack them any time.

"Anne, stay home with the kids. Don't go anywhere else. Wait for me. I'll be back soon." Kevin was

composed. He had to deal with the problem now before things went out of hand.

His business collaboration wasn't important compared to the task of keeping his wife and children safe.

"Okay!" Anne nodded, smiling. Kevin couldn't read her expression, but she was grateful for having a

brave husband who could save her from danger.

Kevin hung up the call and stood up. He opened the curtain and stared at the lamps on the street.

Why did people like wandering in the dark? Why did they choose to return to their problematic life when

they had a chance to escape?

Alan had the opportunity to live a peaceful life in a different country. However, he returned to A City.

Aden and Paul had left A City -- people couldn't trace them. They could have erased the past and

started a new life, but they didn't. They came back again and started trouble.

Now Kim, whom everyone believed to be dead, was back again.

Was this city the lifeblood of everyone?

Kevin took another puff of smoke and smiled coldly. "Since you prefer hell over paradise, I will show

what it is like to suffer," he muttered to himself.

Kim was a dangerous man. He couldn't let him come anywhere near Anne and the children. Kevin had

defeated Kim once; therefore, he could destroy him again.

"Now that you are still alive, the war is still on. I will end your life and make sure you regret setting foot

into A City. You will not escape this time, Kim!"

Kevin growled.

Just then, the phone rang. A frown lined his forehead when he saw the number.

Colin had gone to the construction site but didn't come back yet. The man never called during wee

hours; Kevin couldn't help but wonder if he was in trouble.

Moreover, Kevin couldn't stay here any longer when his family was in trouble. He had to return to A City

early the next day. He was worried that the cooperation would end here, or Colin might have to manage

everything by himself.

"What's the matter?" asked Kevin.

"Mr. Kevin, there seems to be a problem at the site. Please come here as soon as possible!" Colin

panicked. "You must be here before dawn!"

He hung up the call before Kevin could question him further.

Kevin couldn't understand what was going on. The never-ending loop of problems frustrated him.

However, he understood that Colin wouldn't call him unless it was something important.

He checked the time and sighed. He still had a couple of hours left to do as told. He planned to go to

the construction site first and rush to the airport after dealing with the problem.

Kevin called his assistant right away to arrange everything.

The Fu Family's house was a thousand miles away from where he was.

Anne was on the second floor where her children slept. She didn't want to enter the room in case she

disturbed them. Therefore, she stood by the window and stared at the empty street.

Both Anne and Kevin knew what Kim was capable of doing. Their only job now was to protect the

children. The three kids meant the world to them. They couldn't let Kim lay his finger on them.

A sudden cry broke Anne's reverie; panic surged through her veins. She turned around to find out what

had happened.

The bedroom door opened; Ella walked out in her pajamas; her face had turned red as tears streamed

down her cheeks. The little girl's eyes widened for a split second before she ran to Anne and hugged

her for dear life.

Anne looked at her in shock. Before she could question her further, Ella cried, "I had a bad dream,

Mommy. I dreamed that something had happened to Daddy. He was covered in blood." She began

hyperventilating.

Anne's lips twitched. Ella's nightmare seemed strange. How could a child her age have a dream about

such a horrifying incident?

Anne forced a smile and knelt beside her. "Ella, do you know that dream is the opposite of reality?"

Ella's eyes sprang open. She sniffed loudly and looked at Anne, shaking her head in confusion.

Anne wiped the tears and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "Well, if you dream of

something bad, then good things will happen in life. For instance, if you dream that something bad has

happened to your father, it means that he will come back to see you soon."

Understanding crossed Ella's face.

She held Anne's hands and looked at her with expectant eyes. "Will dad really be back soon? Are you

sure nothing has happened to him? Is Dad okay?"

Anne didn't know how to answer Ella's questions. She held the girl in her arms and went downstairs.

Once they came to the living room, she placed Ella on the sofa and stared into her eyes. "Your father

must be sleeping now. Why don't you call him in the morning? I'm sure you will feel better once you

hear his voice and understand that I wasn't lying to you."

Ella smiled, nodding in agreement. She realized that nightmares could make her happy too. The girl

couldn't wait to see her father.

"Mom, it is almost dawn. Why haven't you gone to bed yet?" Ella asked concernedly.

It was three o'clock in the morning, and she knew that the sun would rise in two hours.

Anne smiled and ruffled Ella's hair. How could she tell the little girl that she was worried, and that was

the reason why she couldn't fall asleep?

"I overslept in the morning, so I'm not able to sleep now," she lied.

Ella nodded, stifling a yawn. Sensing that the little girl was sleepy, Anne took her upstairs.

However, little did she know that Ella's nightmare wasn't a manifestation of her fear but a prophecy of

her father's downfall.
