What on earth happened to her own child?
'Damn you, Kim!' Anne cursed in her heart, feeling extremely furious.
And while she endured the pain and guilt, Anne calmed herself before saying, "Simon, don't be afraid. I'll come and save you. Don't worry."
Meanwhile, Simon didn't say anything. Instead, it was Kim's voice that resounded.
"Anne, I know you miss Simon, and your son miss you too. How about we make an appointment for you to see each other like the way we did last time? What do you say?"
Last time?
'When I asked for Sam's help last time, Kim almost beat him to death!' Anne thought with a frown.
"I believe you still remember what happened last time, right? So, this time, I hope you know what to do. Of course, if I can catch Kevin this time, I will be very happy. And not to threaten you, but I've hired some people with guns this time, Anne. You can tell Kevin to come, and I'd be very glad to see him. As for the police...
Well, if you still want to see Simon, you better not call the police." Kim broke into a diabolic laugh as he warned her.
However, on the other end of the line, Anne was so lost in her thoughts. She didn't hear Kim's last words as the call abruptly ended before she could get back to her senses.
The thought of seeing her son again had thrown her into a whirlwind of mixed emotions. Anne knew it was dangerous, but she also wanted to save her Simon!
Feeling conflicted with such a dilemma, all Anne could do was massage her temple as she tried to calm herself. But it was useless.
If she went there alone, she could see Simon, but at the same time, she knew how dangerous the situation was.
Last time, Kim wanted to take her away. Maybe it was because Sam was severely injured that Kim decided to let her go. But this time...
Anne knew Kim very well––he would never set her free once he got a hold of her.
But if she really wanted to see and save Simon, she had to go there alone.
With a heavy sigh, Anne poured a glass of wine and stood by the window.
As a mother, she not only needed to get Simon back but also she had to take care of Eddy and Sally!
Her children were all irreplaceable, and she just couldn't choose one over the others.
Kevin pushed the door open and saw Anne seemingly lost in deep thoughts as she stared at the scenery outside. Frowning, he picked up a coat and put it over her. The sudden warmth made her tremble in surprise, causing the wine to spill on the ground.
Anne immediately turned around. When their eyes met, she lowered her head subconsciously.
At the sight of this, Kevin sensed that something was wrong.
"Anne? What's wrong?" he asked, trying to catch her gaze.
Raising her head, Anne hesitated to speak. She had promised him that she wouldn't take any risk alone. As husband and wife, they were life partners. No matter what difficulties they encountered, they shouldn't hide any secrets from each other.
Moreover, Anne was determined not to let herself be controlled by such a devious man as Kim again.
So, after heaving a heavy sigh, she finally revealed, "I just received a call from Kim."
The moment Anne uttered those words, Kevin's face became gloomy while his jaws hardened.
As Anne told him everything while he listened, Kevin couldn't help but curse Kim internally,
'Damn him! He is such a cunning and powerful guy. More disturbingly, he doesn't afraid of death! I have always tried to avoid such people, because they are difficult to deal with. But how dare he go after my son and now my wife?! He is digging his own grave!'
Kevin thought in utter fury.
Clearly, Kim took the initiative to provoke them, and it aggrieved Kevin even more.
"Anne. Don't worry. I'll take care of it," he comforted. After a moment of silence, Kevin gently kissed her forehead and encircled his arms around her.
"If Kim finds out, I'm afraid we won't be able to see Simon anymore!"
At the thought of not seeing his child forever, Anne was entirely grief-stricken.
"I know. So, we must succeed this time!" Kevin knew that if they were to lose to Kim, it would cost Simon's life. And Kevin would never forgive himself if something were to happen to his son.
Raising her head, Anne opened her mouth but said nothing. Instead, she just sighed heavily while a hint of worry and hesitation was painted all over her face.
After both of them had a serious talk, the two decided not to tell Selma of their plan.
After all, the old woman was impulsive. If she knew about their plan, she might do something that they might regret later on.
Time passed quickly before the said date, and all that time, the Fu Family's house was filled with a strange atmosphere. Even Selma, who had noticed the unusual air in the mansion, had asked them if something had happened.
Recently, Kevin had been leaving the house so early and only coming back late at night. But not once did he go to his office. He was obviously busy preparing for the day they would face Kim.
After a few more sunrise and sunset, the day had finally come. Anne didn't sleep all night, as she was occupied thinking of her long-lost son.
'Hang in there, Simon. We're coming to save you,' she silently thought as she sat silently in the car.
On the early morning of the second day, Anne set out alone in her car. She couldn't wait to reach their destination, their agreed meeting place.
It was an inconspicuous restaurant.
When she got there, Anne sat in one of the corner chairs and waited for Kim. She waited patiently all morning and only saw him when afternoon came.
When the young boy saw his mother, his eyes flashed with ecstasy. However, he just stood there and did not take a step to come closer. All he could do was stare at his mother while a frown of sadness and longing crept on his lips.
Gritting her teeth, Anne immediately walked towards Simon and held him in her arms, afraid that he would vanish in her sight if she were to let go of him. The boy equaled her embrace, evident that he longed for his mother too.
Earlier, when the three of them were under Kim's control, Anne took care of the children very well, and Simon was a little chubby. But now that Anne could closely touch him in her embrace, she could feel that her son had lost a lot of weight.
