Renewal Of Love novel Chapter 417

Early the following day, before anyone was awake, loud banging rang throughout the property. It seemed like someone was hell-bent on breaking through the front door.

Kevin immediately got up, an annoyed expression contorting his face. As he put his clothes on, he turned his bloodshot eyes to Anne and said, "I don't know what's going on outside. Stay here and don't go out."

Anne, now also wide awake, rolled her eyes. As soon as Kevin went out the door, she, too, put on her clothes and followed him out.

The banging not only woke the couple up, but also everyone else in the house. Sam, Emily, Selma, and Eddy had also started preparing to go down and see what was happening.

Holding Eddy's hand, Selma yawned and said impatiently, "It's still so early! Who would be so impolite to disturb us?"

As soon as Kevin reached the doorbell monitor and saw who were on the other side of the door, his frown deepened.

There were five people outside: Bob's mother, Bob's father, and three people donning police uniform.

'It is still so early. Why does it seem like they're in a rush? What is happening?' Kevin thought. While he was annoyed, he couldn't help but feel nervous as to what might be the reason for such an untimely visit.

With his heart filled with doubts, Kevin opened the door. Bob's mother rushed in at once. Unfortunately, her legs were so weak that she fell on her knees in front of Kevin.

This shocked Kevin. He immediately tried to help her, but she pushed him away, refusing to let him come anywhere near her. With visible tear streaks on her face, she got up and looked around. After a few moments, her stare landed on Anne and Selma, who had just arrived downstairs.

She was right. These two women indeed knew each other.

She then burst into tears. "Anne, Kevin, please! I beg you! Give Bob back to us! You are also parents. How can you treat Bob like this?" Bob's mother once again fell to her knees, now crying bitterly.

The heartbreaking scene confused Kevin and Anne immensely. They turned to each other, looking for answers, but there was none.

Anne walked over to the despairing mother to console her, but Bob's mother tightly gripped Anne's hand, pulled her closer to her, and begged, "Please, please, Anne! You are also a mother! You know how important a child is to his parents. How could you do what you have done! Please give Bob to us, please!"

Anne squatted in front of Bob's mother, with confusion written all over her face. "I'm sorry, but I have no idea of what you're talking about. Can you stand up and tell me about what is happening?"

Bob's father sighed, looked at Anne, and shook his head. "Last night, while my wife was sleeping, our son disappeared. We tried to check the surveillance footage from the hospital, but they told us that something was wrong with it. We didn't get anything, so we found nothing at all!

The only people who has the power to do that are you two! Not to mention, you have a good motive!"

Stunned silence filled the room. Kevin and Anne were shocked beyond belief.

Indeed, they needed Bob's heart, but they would never take him without consent from him parents.

"I understand why you would think that. We need Bob's heart, but we would never do such a thing!" Kevin adamantly denied, looking directly into Bob's father's eyes.

Surprise flashed through Bob's father's eyes. Before he could say anything, however, Bob's mother had already shouted, "We are just ordinary people. We have never offended anyone. If it is not you, who else will kidnap our child?"

Anne tenderly held Bob's mother's hand and said with all sincerity, "This is the first time we got the news that Bob had disappeared. We do not know what happened or where he is right now. Please trust us!"

"No one would be so despicable and shameless to do these things except for you! Why should we believe that you had nothing to do with this? You took my child! Give him back to me! Give him back!" All of a sudden, Bob's mother pulled Anne towards her until they were both on the ground. She then got on top of her and started to pull on her hair and beat her face with her fists.

No one expected Bob's mother to act like this, and so no one was able to help Anne instantly. After some moments, Kevin came between the two women, while Bob's father held her wife back.

"Calm down, please! We have to find our boy first!" Bob's father shouted loudly, sounding anxious and uneasy.

Emily ran up to Kevin and Anne, intending to help.

Anne was already on her feet, straightening her clothes and fixing her hair. She had several little scratches on her beautiful face, and Bob's mother was still holding some of her broken hair in her hand.

Emily frowned and glared at Bob's mother. The air around Kevin suddenly became cold.

Seeing this, Selma, too, couldn't help but feel annoyed. She immediately held Eddy in her arms, turned around and walked back towards the bedroom.

Eddy didn't want to go, and so he struggled against Selma's grip for a while. As he looked at Anne, he felt hurt deep inside.

"Anne, I'm warning you! Give me back my child, because trust me, I will not rest until he's with me! Even if I die right now, I swear I'm going to come back as a ghost and haunt you until I achieve justice! I will make your life miserable! And your child, he will go to hell with me, too!" Bob's mother shouted. Her eyes were wide and unfocused, a clear sign that she was having a mental breakdown.

Instead of answering, Anne just let out a big sigh as she put her hand on her forehead. Kevin, however, was more confrontational. "If you still want your boy back, you'd better shut up!" he warned, rage visible in his eyes.

The aura he was exuding was so cold and hostile that Bob's mother immediately became quiet and even Bob's father froze up.

The three police officers had been quiet until that moment. Sensing that the meeting wasn't going well, one of them chimed in, saying, "I know you are worried about your missing boy, but terrorizing these two would not help you find your son faster. Instead of fighting, we must focus our efforts on the search and rescue."

Although Bob's mother was once again bawling her eyes out, she nodded in agreement with what the officer said. Her husband was still holding her tightly out of fear that she might do something reckless again.

"But what happened to the security footage? What happened to it? Also, isn't there a footage from any cameras installed in the streets?" Kevin asked the officers, his expression serious.

The policeman shook his head. "At the beginning, we just thought that the boy ran out secretly to play, but when we checked the surveillance video, we found that it recorded nothing during that timeframe. Because of that, we felt that something bad had happened. We immediately searched the immediate areas, but we also found that the same thing happened to the surveillance. It seems like a hacker deleted every important footage."
