Renewal Of Love novel Chapter 455

Everyone was under the impression that police would solve the case quickly since they had found clues and evidence, but it seemed that the case was not as simple as everyone had thought it to be.

They were all gangsters, and each of them was involved with homicide. They were brilliant at not leaving a single trace behind because the moment they had left the alley; they had dispersed in different directions, leaving no evidence of their presence.

And even if they did accidentally leave a trace behind, it would have been erased quickly, as if erasing a pencil mark with an eraser.

The case's complexity made even the police's brows crease with frustration, but there was nothing that they could do.

At the hospital, Sam appointed new bodyguards for Kevin's protection and instructed them to guard him 24X7.

Kevin had refused to be guarded initially. He was content with having Anne by his side, but when Sam had told him about the dangers that might crop up if the former wasn't protected and that Anne might end up getting hurt, Kevin had begrudgingly consented.

Kevin was recovering steadily, courtesy to Sam who was a brilliant doctor.

The DG of police had visited Kevin in person. After talking to him for some time, he looked at Anne.

He opened his mouth and closed it again. He looked flustered, and that perplexed Anne as well as Kevin.

"Sir, you can say whatever you wish to. There's no outsider in this room. Therefore, you don't need to refrain yourself," Anne said politely.

The director looked at Kevin who nodded reassuringly. He sighed heavily and said helplessly, "That group of people can establish an underworld empire in a society ruled by law. They are extremely shrewd." He shook his head in dismay. "We can't find them now. It seems as if their very existence had vanished into thin air."

The couple knew this from beforehand but they did not interrupt the director and let him continue speaking.

"You had promised them to get Kim out at that time. I want to use him as a bait and lure them out of their den," the director said to Anne.

Kevin was injured and confined to the bed due to which Anne was the only option available. The only person who would be able to help the police now.

Anne looked at Kevin. After a moment of silence, he looked at the director and said thoughtfully, "I have heard that Kim is literally worshipped by those men and they are loyal to him. Therefore, it's a good idea to use him as a bait. But you will have to wait until my legs recover completely."

Kevin was quick-witted and it didn't take him long to understand that the police was eager to do something about the case and was getting impatient, but he also knew that the director would want to involve Anne in this and he wouldn't let that happen.

The director didn't say anything. He looked at Anne who averted her gaze.

When he saw that even Anne didn't wish to agree to his proposal, he sighed. "All right. I'll wait a few more days." The director had no choice but to agree with Kevin.

After the director left, Kevin let out a breath and murmured, "It's good that he came to meet. Otherwise, I would have gone to meet him."

Anne smiled knowingly. She knew that even Kevin wanted to see the end of this case. She was also thankful to him for not letting her get involved in this.

The day of Kim's execution was drawing near, which was making the group more restless with each passing day, and they were starting to get desperate and in that desperations they might do anything. What Kevin and others had planned to do was to use their desperation to defeat them.

Although Kevin was in hospital, he still handled the business. His assistant would arrive with a pile of documents every single day and today was nothing different. Anne, on the other hand, had nothing to occupy herself with so she felt bored. Sitting on the bench in the corridor, she sighed as she thought of how she could while away her time.

"How is Kevin?" Anne was startled by a familiar voice.

Looking up, she raised her eyebrows in surprise. The woman in front of her was still skinny but she looked more radiant than what she did when they had last met.

The woman was none other than her younger sister, Rose, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Anne was taken aback because. She had thought that Rose would have gone back to her family after Sam's hospital closed down. But surprisingly, she hadn't left.

"What are you doing here? I thought you had left." Anne furrowed her brows, baffled. She knew Kevin had let go of Rose so she shouldn't be here anymore.

Rose frowned as she took a seat opposite to Anne.

"What do you want?" Anne asked gravely.

She felt tired to the bones. So many things had happened in the past few days. Anne decided that unless Rose provoked her, she wouldn't say anything unpleasant to her.

"Anne, have you ever loved Ryan?" Rose asked her out of the blue.

Surprise flashed through Anne's eyes. She didn't expect that Rose would ask her such a question. She shook her head and said firmly, "From the very beginning until now, I have treated Ryan as a friend."

Rose nodded without countering her answer. She lowered her gaze and looked thoughtful.

Anne was at a loss. She had never seen her sister so quite.

"Rose, why didn't you tell me that you were here? I was worried about you," she said softly. She was about to say more when an anxious man appeared in the corridor. The moment his eyes landed on Rose, they filled with tenderness and relief.

Anne's eyebrows rose up. She turned her quizzical gaze at Rose before it went back to the man who was now walking towards them. The man was Rose's husband, Mark, but she was under the impression that they were divorced.

'Why is he here then?' she wondered.

During the two years when Anne had been prisoner to Kim, a lot of things happened, including Mark and Rose's divorce.

After the plastic surgery, Rose had come to meet Anne where she had said that she wanted to compete for Kevin again.

So Anne thought Rose and Mark would never get back together again.

After all, no man would like his woman to harbor feelings for another man.
