Renewal Of Love

Chapter 539 Desperate To Find Kim

Anne took a deep breath in, nodded and said, "Mr. Colin, don't worry. The Fu Family will take all your

losses that you have suffered and for anything arising therefrom from this moment forth. Plus, we have

enlisted the services of bodyguards to ensure your safety."

Initially, Anne wanted to tell him that he should have a good rest and look after himself. But she didn't

know how to breach the topic considering that she genuinely felt that he blamed her for everything he

had been through, whether he openly admitted or not.

With an exasperated sigh, Anne turned around slowly.

Standing just outside the door, Kevin could make out Colin's voice. He frowned but he nonetheless felt

helpless in terms of actively doing something.

After all, it was wholly their fault that had caused Colin the torture he'd suffered. It was completely

understandable, even justified, that he would be furious over this.

They had no leg to stand on. They really couldn't blame him one bit.

When Anne walked out of the room, she heard Ella say angrily, "Dad, how can you do this? Mom is so

good to me. How can you say that?"

"Ella, you are still young. There are many things you don't fully comprehend yet. When you grow up,

you will definitely understand my reasoning" Colin said in a tired voice.

Kevin held Anne by the hand, looked her deep in the eyes and shook his head feebly.

The couple slowly made their way across the hallway. Anne felt as if she was skating on thin ice, and

that she could just be engulfed by the frigid water below at any moment.

"Kevin, now that Kim doesn't have anyone hostage, do you think we're safe from his threats and

interference? Looking up at him, Anne broached this all important question.

After a moment of silent consideration, he nodded. He responded, "The police together with Peter are

searching high and low for Kim. Whether he is dead or alive, they will not stop their search until they

find him.

A dangerous fugitive like Kim who had somehow managed to deceive the government and escape

death row would have to be captured, whether dead or alive.

Anne nodded. Things wouldn't be so bad if they managed to catch Kim.

"We should attend to procuring a really wonderful gift and pay a visit to the mayor," Kevin said with a bit

of a cold tone.

The mayor's daughter was dating none other than Brandon.

It was a reasonable notion that no one could truly know where Kim's current whereabouts were,

especially since he had mastered the art of flying under the radar. But Brandon was different. He was

working for Kim.

Anne nodded. When she returned home, she packed the gift up, ready to go. She put on light make-up

which made her look natural, and then made her way to the mayor's home with Kevin.

At this particularly time, the mayor was out of town for work. Just his wife was at home.

The mayor's wife seemed surprised to have guests when she noticed their arrival, but as soon as she

made out that it was the two of them, her surprised disappeared and she graciously invited them into

their home.

The mayor's wife took the time to make sure she personally poured their tea for them. She was indeed

an obliging host. She said, "I must apologize, but the mayor is investigating matters out of town at the

moment."

"Ah, that isn't a problem," Kevin replied courteously. "We haven't come to see the mayor."

Slightly astonished, she responded, "If not the mayor, for whom have you made the trip?"

"We are here to see Eliza," Anne explained.

The mayor's wife's astonishment grew ten-fold. Eliza was a young woman. What business could Kevin

and Anne possibly have with her?

"Wait a few moments. I'll call Eliza now," the mayor's wife answered politely.

Anne and Kevin both nodded, and after a little waiting, Eliza graced them with her presence.

At the ball, Eliza was impressed by Anne and Kevin. She admired their relationship greatly, as well, as

something to look up to. Naturally seeing them now, she greeted them with warmth and familiarity, "Mr.

Kevin, Mrs. Anne."

Anne and Kevin nodded politely in acknowledgement. Anne smiled and asked, "Eliza, do you

remember all the events that transpired at the all that day?"

Eliza nodded, but looked a little confused. "Is something wrong?"

With a genteel smile, Anne continued, "Well, on that day, when I had danced with Brandon, he had

expressed some interest in working in Kevin's company. But unfortunately, amidst the festivity, I had

forgotten to take his phone number. Will you be able to help us make contact with him?"

"Is he planning on joining Mr. Kevin's company?" Eliza was astonished. "I was of the impression that

his intentions were to stay in his own family business?"

Anne looked at Kevin for assistance. He took the lead and complimented Eliza, "Brandon is your

boyfriend. He was to be an exceptional fellow to be courting someone of your caliber!"

After all. Eliza was just a young lady looking out for her future, without anything to hide. Hearing Kevin's

words, she blushed a deep crimson.

Within herself, she understood the reasoning behind this notion. After all, if he remained in his family's

business, he would not be able to showcase his own talent to its full potential.

If he took a position in another company, there would be no accusations of nepotism and his hard work

and skills would be given due credit.

Plus, Brandon had already proposed that he would take her hand in marriage!

After some thought, Eliza dropped the idea that Brandon would not have considered this.

She immediately whipped out her phone and found Brandon's number. Anne noted down the number

as soon as she saw it.

"Eliza, let us not make any mention of this to Brandon. He had told me that he wants to surprise you

with his success after he achieves what he sets out to do." Anne winked at Eliza.

Eliza nodded with a smile, looking rather pleased. He promised them repeatedly that she would not

mention a word to him.

Anne sighed slightly. She knew that Eliza and Brandon were not cut from the same cloth. They

definitely could not be together.

It was quite obvious that the young lady had been swept off her feet by Brandon... Alas, her heart was

destined to be shattered in the near future.

Unfortunately for Eliza, Anne could not advise her on the relationship now.

Kevin looked at Anne, and they nodded at each other. They stood up and said their goodbyes.

The mayor's wife attempted them to stay for a little longer, but they politely declined and ensured that

she showed them out.

Although Eliza hadn't caught onto anything, there was a hint of suspicion coming from the wife.

But given that everything seemed fine, perhaps she was overthinking.

Instead of making their way back home, the two of them when straight to the police station to request

that the police monitor the location of the user of the phone number.

The location services showed that the phone was situated at the AN Group.

"Is Brandon at your office?" Anne was thoroughly bewildered.

Kevin shook his head and began, "No, it can't be. But..."

"Brandon can't be so foolish. If he were there, he'd have been caught by you easily on several

occasions," Anne finished his thought. Suddenly a jocular voice came from behind them.

They turned around to be greeted by the sight of Peter.

After the police had seen Peter's strength and ability, they were eager to cooperate and work with Peter

in order to find Kim.

So Peter was now working in the police station.

"Don't be so desperate to find Kim. He will not be easily discovered. For now, the matter of utmost is

importance is protection of those around you." Peter yawned and continued, "I could tell someone was

following me today."

Someone was stalking him?

Upon hearing this bit of information, Anne was struck dumb. Who was so gutsy and confident to have

the nerve to follow a detective in the employ of the police force?

Although Peter was making a joke to make light of the heavy atmosphere, he was quick to realize he

shouldn't be too easy with his words.

"I have let everyone close to me know of the situation. Accordingly, bodyguards have been assigned to

them, night and day. There are a few stationed at the hospital to ensure Eddy's safety. We shouldn't

have a problem," Anne said very seriously.

Although Kim and his men were indeed madmen, the police were keeping a close eye on the situation.

Once they uncovered their location, the police would move quickly to ensure they were caught. Kim

and his team of bandits were wise enough not to take this lightly, so the chance that they would strike

in public was exceedingly low at this point.

"Maybe this number can still be very useful..." Peter added.

Kevin and Anne exchanged a look of confusion and shook their heads in disbelief.

After departing from the station, Anne and Kevin made their way to the hospital to check up on Eddy.

He was making a speedy recovery.

Since Eddy had his operation, Selma could not care less about anything except being at his side.

Simon and Sally were at the family mansion while Selma stayed at the hospital so as to be close to

Eddy.

"Dad, mom, you're here." Eddy raised his head from his supine position and smiled happily at the sight

of the two of them.

A small smile appeared on their faces. Seeing him dispelled some of the heaviness that the entire

situation had caused them. Their feeling of incompetence and helplessness slowly ebbed away now.

They felt their courage come back. They would ensure they won this battle and protected their kids and

everyone around them!

"How are you feeling today? Is the wound still itchy?" Anne was sitting next to Eddy. A single strand of

her long hair tickled his little nose.

Eddy smiled and answered seriously, "I'm recovering well without any complications. The doctor said I

should be discharged soon."

"Don't focus on leaving the hospital." Kevin looked at Eddy and said, "You must take good care of

yourself!"

After such a big operation, he couldn't afford to be careless when it came to his health.

Eddy nodded obediently, but he looked back at Kevin with a look of slight confusion.

In the past, Ella would definitely come to give him some company for a while, but today she hadn't

come.

"Mom, where is Ella?" Eddy asked, after some hesitation.

Registering his question, Anne froze and then turned her fax in a highly unnatural way. Eddy and Ella

had a very good relationship. How could she tell him that she would never be seeing them again?

Eddy was very intelligent. He immediately deduced that something was strange about Anne's

demeanor, so he turned to Kevin for an answer.

Kevin's face was stiff. He let out a heavy sigh.

"Dad, Mom, what's happened? What happened to Ella?" Eddy could not help but become anxious at

the thought of something happening to her.

"Don't move. I'll tell you what happened." Realizing that it would be impossible to keep this from him,

Anne told him everything. Eddy fell into a strange silence.

It turned out that it was all because of them that Ella's father disappeared!

Now, Ella's father was seriously injured and one of his fingers was cut off. It was all because of them!

If he were Colin, he wouldn't let Ella get in touch with the Fu Family either!

In the kindergarten, he had no feelings for any children except for Ella. But now...

His only playmate he had allowed into his life had disappeared from his life. It was as if a huge part of

his heart had disappeared, leaving a big, gaping hole in its place.

But at the same time, Eddy understood that only by keeping away from the Fu Family could they live a

safer, happier life.

"Mom, it doesn't matter. As long as Ella's dad has come back alive, it doesn't matter whether Ella

comes to see me or not. I don't care." Eddy forced a smile. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Anne's heart ached for him. She almost burst into tears.

"Eddy, don't worry. After we catch Kim, Mommy will take you to find Ella. Ella will forgive us." Anne

sounded firm. She didn't dare to apologize or visit Colin, because that evil, vile man had his eyes on

her, like a thief in the night.

Only by pretending not to care, could they protect Colin and Ella!

However, everything would be different after they caught Kim!

Eddy nodded and immediately changed the topic. "Where are Simon and Sally? What are they doing?"

"The two of them are bored all day long and want to go out to have fun, but they have just been taught

a lesson by your dad." Thinking of the two little guys, Anne felt helpless.

Maybe it was because that the two kids grew up together with her. Although they were more mature

than ordinary two-year-old children, they were not as good as Eddy.

But about this, she wasn't sure if it gave her more comfort, or even less in respect of worrying about

them.

Every age had its own state. If this wasn't the case, there must be something wrong.

Eddy smiled and shook his head. His younger brother and sister were energetic and naughty. They

were much better than him!

But he was not jealous, because if they lived well, it meant that he also lived well!
