Renewal Of Love
Chapter 358 Who Do You Love Truly

Face covered with blood, Sam opened his eyes. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and uttered weakly, "Anne, I'm sorry I couldn't help you."

Shaking her head repeatedly, she held Sam tightly and immediately called an ambulance.

He had multiple wounds and blood was gushing out of his body. He couldn't hold on for long. Feeling weak and drained, Sam tilted his head and became unconscious. However, his hand tightly held onto Anne's hand.

Anne cried out, "I'm sorry, Sam. It's all my fault! I'm the one who got you into trouble!

Please, don't close your eyes. Think about Emily. Aren't you going to get married? She is waiting for you!"

However, he was completely unconscious and could not hear a word she said. Anne did her best to wake him up but he wouldn't budge.

The ambulance arrived very soon. Sam had been holding Anne's hand all this time. She could do nothing but follow him into the ambulance.

Once inside, she immediately informed Kevin and Emily about it.

After receiving the news, Kevin and Emily were both shocked and rushed to the hospital without any delay.

Emily was closer to the hospital hence she was the first to arrive.

Sam was still unconscious and his hand was still wrapped around Anne's. Anne didn't have the heart to attempt moving it. She simply stared at him, tenderness making its way to her eyes. When Emily arrived, she saw this. She couldn't help but stiffen at the scene in front of her.

She knew more than anyone how much Sam liked Anne once upon a time. She had to chase after him to finally receive his love. In short, it took a lot of effort to win his heart. And finally, they were leading a happy life together.

Emily tried to pretend like his past interest in Anne meant nothing to her. She even kept a close relationship with her. However, deep down she hadn't forgotten any of it.

Slowly, Emily had begun to feel that Sam had accepted her with all his heart. She had believed this love had erased every memory of Anne. But what happened now brought back all the sorrows. With even bothering to inform her, he had risked his life for Anne.

'Sam, in your heart, have you really given up on Anne? Or is she more important to you than your own life?' Emily wondered, her heart filling with sadness.

She slowly closed her eyes and sat in the corridor, exhausted.

'Why? Why did this have to happen? Why couldn't she call Kevin after receiving a phone call from Kim? Why did she decide to get Sam involved?' she thought to herself. Suddenly, she began to hate Anne. Everyone knew what sort of a dangerous person Kim was. Sam knew helping Anne was a dangerous thing to do yet he decided to do it.

The worst part was, he hadn't considered her feelings before he risked his life!

"Ha-ha..." Covering her face with her hands, Emily laughed wildly. 'Sam! You must still love Anne. Otherwise, how could you do such a thing?'

When Kevin arrived, he saw Emily looking like a maniac. He frowned and headed straight into the ward.

When Anne looked back and found Kevin coming in, the tears that she had been holding back began to fall freely. Kevin stepped forward and held her in his arms.

"Anne, why didn't you call me?" he demanded, sounding very tired.

A couple was supposed to face challenges together. And here, Anne had hidden her troubles from him again.

If Sam hadn't gone to help her, Kevin couldn't help but wonder what would have happened. Would she disappear from his life again?

This filled him with both fear and uncontrollable rage.

"Kevin, look, I got another person involved. Back then, if Ryan hadn't protected me, I would have been dead. Now, if Sam didn't protect me, I would be the one lying on the bed instead of him." Anne closed her eyes wearily, a mocking smile appearing on her face.

Kevin sighed and looked at Sam's hand which was wrapped around Anne's. It suddenly occurred to him why Emily had looked so crazy. It was probably because of this sight.

"Well, don't worry. Sam will be fine, okay?" he said, trying to console Anne. He had spoken to the doctor. As a doctor, Sam knew how to protect himself from internal injuries. Although the situation looked fierce, he would not die.

Anne shook her head with a sneer and sighed heavily. 'Damn Kim! You are torturing my little boy Simon by involving him in these bloodsheds!' she thought, tears streaking down her chin.

Emily, who had been standing outside for a long time, finally entered the ward. Although Sam was unconscious, he was still worried about Anne. He held Anne's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.

Anne couldn't untangle herself from him. This posture lasted for hours.

Finally in the morning, Sam gradually opened his eyes.

"Finally awake?" Anne asked excitedly. She was the first one to replace him awake.

Sam opened his eyes, taking in his surroundings. He was very familiar with the layout of this room. This was a ward in a hospital.

Since he was hospitalized, they should be safe now.

Upon realizing that, Sam heaved a sigh of relief. Just then, he saw Emily, who was standing aside, frowning slightly and looking at him with a complicated expression.

When he met Emily's gaze, he couldn't help but pass her a smile. He wanted to slowly reach out his hand to her. However, he realized his hand was tightly holding Anne's hand.

At that moment, embarrassment flashed through his eyes and he slowly let go of her. He had experienced a dangerous incident with Anne so it was only normal for him to feel protective towards her. However, he didn't expect that he had held onto her for such a long time.

Rubbing her hands, Anne stood up and walked outside. She found Kevin, who was sitting in the corridor, looking very tired.

"Kevin, Sam is awake." Anne walked to Kevin and sat next to him.

Kevin frowned and turned to look at Anne. When she looked into his eyes, a chill went down her spine.

"Anne, do you remember? We once agreed to share both happiness and sorrow. In spite of this, you didn't bother to inform me about the danger and got Sam involved..." Kevin shook his head slightly, self- mockery evident in his voice. "At that time, Ryan was more important than me in your heart. Now, you decide to rely on Sam to get you out of trouble.

Every time something bad happens to you, I'm not the one who gets to protect you in spite of being your husba Am I really so incompetent in your heart?"

Anne was surprised. She didn't expect that Kevin would take it to his heart. She shook her head, held Kevin's hand nervously, and explained in a hurry, "It's not like what you think, Kevin. Please listen to me!" She told him all about the threats Kim had given her. Listening to it, Kevin was lost in thought, pondering about something.

"Kim has forced Simon to call him Dad. If things go on like this, I really don't know what will become of our Simon. Kevin, I'm really worried about him..." she faltered. At the thought of Simon, she couldn't bear i anymore and tears rushed out of her eyes.

Kevin sighed and held her in his arms. His eyes were cold. How could his child call another man Dad?

He couldn't believe Kim's audacity! Kevin began to think of a plan.

"Anne, I don't care what your reasons are. This is the last time I will be tolerating another man as your savior. No matter what happens in the future, you must tell me. Otherwise..." Kevin didn't finish his sentence. After all, he found himself incapable of threatening her. She meant a great deal to him.

Normally, he wasn't the kind of man who feared anyone or anything. However, the thought of losing Anne tore his world apart.

When Anne was not by his side, everything seemed bleak. So what could he say to the woman he deeply loved to threaten her?

"Anne!" Kevin reached out his hand and held her tightly in his arms. He begged, "I'm begging you, please. No matter what danger you are facing in the future, please tell me. Let me protect you and stay with you. I really can't watch another man protect you!"

He decided to lay his vulnerability in front of her. No matter what, he thought that he was her husband, and he should be the only one to protect her when she was in trouble.

Anne nodded heavily. After getting Sam in trouble, she had learned her lessons.

In the ward, Emily frowned and stood stiffly in front of the bed, staring at Sam coldly.

Frowning slightly, Sam asked in confusion, "Why are you standing there? What's up? What happened?"

Listening to his questions, Emily began to sneer. "I am surprised you still remember me," she said with mockery.

Although Sam was injured, it didn't affect his thinking. Of course, he detected the irony in Emily's words. "Emily, why did you say that? What do you mean?"

'What did she mean?' he wondered.

Biting her lower lip tightly, Emily glared at Sam. Their wedding date was approaching, and now Sam was seriously injured. How could they get married this way?

He had risked his life and along with it, he had risked his wedding as well! He was willing to put everything at stake for Anne.

'Sam, bravo!' she thought to herself ironically.

"Emily, don't frighten me. What on earth is the matter? Please tell me!" Emily's strange behavior worried him.

With a mocking smile, Emily turned around and left.

'What's the point of a wedding when I have no place in his heart?' she thought. She couldn't marry a man who didn't love her and would go around risking his life for someone else. This wedding would be pointless.

Emily had been humble and sweet all this while. But enough was enough. She couldn't tolerate more.

Outside the ward, Anne and Kevin were watching Emily, exchanging glances with each other.

"What's wrong with Emily? Why does she look so terrible?" Frowning, Anne suddenly patted her forehead and said, "Sam is seriously injured. Their wedding will definitely be delayed because of this. No wonder Emily is angry. I'll go and explain it to her."

As soon as she finished speaking, Anne caught up with her. Kevin opened his mouth, wanting to stop her. In the end, he sighed and watched her catch up with Emily.

Once upon a time, Sam had been madly in love with Anne. It was only natural for Emily to assume he still loved her.

She had done her best to let go of the past. But right now, seeing Sam holding Anne's hand, the hurt from the past renewed. Even Kevin had been doubtful about Sam's feelings when he caught them holding hands in the ward.

However, Kevin was consoled after listening to Anne's explanation. Yet he couldn't help but worry that she wouldn't be able to explain things well to Emily. In the deepest recesses of his heart, he too doubted if Sam still had feelings for Anne. 'Only Sam can answer that question,' he thought to himself and sighed.

Kevin walked into the ward to see how he was doing. Sam had an anxious look on his face. "Since you've risked your life, Emily will definitely be sad. Now don't get too worried. You need to rest." Heaving a sigh, Sam nodded.

Anne caught up with Emily. She grabbed Emily's arm and looked at her helplessly. "I'm sorry, Emily. Kim threatened me not to inform Kevin. I found myself in a very confusing situation. I had no choice but to call Sam. I'd never expected he would be so badly injured. I am the one responsible. If it weren't for me, this wedding wouldn't be delayed. Emily, believe me when I say I'm terribly sorry.

You have full right to be mad at me. But please don't take it on Sam. It's all my--"

"Anne Luo!" Before Anne could finish her words, Emily interrupted her. Normally, she referred to her using her first name. But now, Anne wasn't a friend.

With a frown and worry in her eyes, Anne braced herself for what Emily was about to say.
