Renewal Of Love
Chapter 367 Simon's Call (Part Two)

Anne blamed herself for letting Rose stay with them. How could she allow it? She knew she should have driven Rose out a long time ago. Why did she let her stay at the Fu Family's house?

This was all her fault!

Kevin sighed, slowly crouching down. He held his wife and children tightly in his arms.

"Well, let bygones be bygones. Don't think too much. What matters now is that both of you are fine." Kevin's voice was gentle, but there was still a heaviness in his heart.

Thinking of Rose and her unpredictable nature made Kevin worry. If she yielded to her impulses, Anne or Sally would end up severely hurt.

One of them would even be killed. The thought sent a chill up his spine.

"Sam has helped us a lot. Let's go to see him tomorrow." Looking up at Kevin, Anne frowned slightly.

She was reminded of Sam and Emily's big day. It made her feel guilty, thinking of how because of her their relationship was off to a rocky start.

It was apparent that Emily had a grudge against her. Anne decided she couldn't let things go on like this. She needed to untie the knot in Emily's heart.

It pained her to think of the new couple. She couldn't let their relationship be strained because of her.

Kevin nodded before he noticed Selma's presence. Seeing the dark circles under her eyes, he felt sorry for her. He said softly, "Mom, Anne's fine now. Don't stay up any longer. You should go to bed now." Selma shook her head and looked at Sally with worry. Sally hadn't gone to bed yet.

Anne felt helpless. After comforting Eddy, she took Sally back to her room. However, as she was about to leave, Sally wouldn't let go of the hemline of her blouse. Feeling desperate, Anne had no choice but to sleep with Sally.

On the other side of the house, Kevin and Selma sat on a sofa, frowning.

"That damned bitch! She almost hurt my precious granddaughter. No matter what, I won't let her off so easy." Selma banged her hand on the tea table, the loud sound echoing across the room. Her eyes were cold and angry.

Selma treasured her grandchildren, loving and spoiling them to no limit. She never even scolded Sally on any mistakes. She couldn't bear the thought of Sally being so scared that she refused to sleep alone anymore. That bitch Rose!

It was normal for someone who was used to being assertive like her to feel more annoyed at this situation.

Kevin's face was cold, devoid of any emotion. Rose was diagnosed as mentally unstable at the hospital. So far, the reason was not found.

How Rose behaved recently was very strange. It was not like her at all.

The sudden change in a person was both confusing and frustrating, and it was also a signal of danger.

"Mom, It doesn't matter why she did this. We can't bear the harm Rose brought to Anne and our family!" This could not be forgiven. Rose couldn't be let go so easily.

Selma nodded in agreement. The mother and son reached a consensus that they would try their best to get Rose the punishment she deserved. Her being jailed would resolve all their worries.

As time passed by, Sally eventually walked out from the trauma. She was still scared but under Anne's care, she slowly forgot about the unfortunate incident. She returned to her old chirpy self, laughing and chattering occasionally.

However, a dark shadow in her subconscious remained even after the memories faded. Sally started suffering from a fear of heights and didn't dare go near any high rise buildings.

The adults felt sorry for her. They didn't have any choice but to take more care of Sally.

Their life slowly settled into a peaceful rhythm. Everything was perfect, except the absence of Simon by Anne's side.

During the nights, Anne still woke up in cold sweat. Her nightmares circled around the child whose absence felt like a hole in her chest.

On the other hand, Kevin had tried going deep inside H City but he still couldn't replace Kim.

Kim had disappeared without a trace. Kevin had no clue where he could be.

It wasn't until the day when Anne received a phone call.

"Hello, Anne. Long time no see. How are you?" The voice on the other end sounded frivolous and cold.

Anne's body stiffened before joy overcame her. She asked, elated, "Kim, where are you? Where is Simon? Is he okay? Let Simon on the phone. I have something to say to him. Please."

Anne was a stubborn woman who would rather die than submit to another. However, when it came to matters concerning her children, she was willing to do anything, even go as far as begging and ready to sacrifice her own life.

Her children were her life.

There was a pause on the other end of the line, before a young voice replied,

"Mommy!"

Anne closed her eyes as soon as she heard her boy's voice. Her body loosened as she fell on her bed, one of her hands clutching her chest.

It hurt. There was a sharp pain inside as if it was about to destroy her.

Simon! Her son!

"Simon, tell me, are you okay?" Anne asked in a trembling voice.

"Mom, don't worry. I'm quite well." Simon's voice was very calm.

A frown overcame Anne's face. Despite not being with him for such a long time, Anne knew her son. She could feel the slightest change in him.

The childlike innocence and liveliness seemed to have dissipated and Simon sounded mature now.

Anne had already experienced this with Eddy, who had grown into a precocious personality. Seeing the tragedy happen again made Anne's heart ache.

Children should be around their parents, be carefree, cry and make all the trouble they wanted. This way they wouldn't hide their emotions.

Despite Simon's calm tone, there was a underlying emotion behind his voice.
