Renewal Of Love
Chapter 454 Shot

Almost as a reflex action, Kevin stood in front of Anne to protect her. He then pierced his sharp, cold eyes at Kim's subordinates and warned, "The police are coming soon. If you don't want to die here, you'd better leave as soon as possible!"

"We know!" Kim's personal bodyguard sneered. Then, he looked around his accomplices and shouted, "Guys, tell them that we are not afraid of death!"

"Yeah!" Everyone answered in unison.

Obviously, they were all loyal to Kim, even with his current situation of being locked up in jail.

But then, this kind of loyalty was troublesome and toxic.

Looking around, Kevin saw that there were more than 30 men armed with guns in their hands. Although he too had a gun on his waist, he was clearly outnumbered. Although he could use the gun to shoot, he was not as familiar with weapons as these people were.

More than that, these men didn't have any families to protect, so killing was basically child's play for them.

"Have you even talked to Kim? Did your boss really agree to this?" After hearing the siren from afar, Kevin thought of asking those men questions to buy some time.

"You don't have to worry about it. Just stay still and let us kill you now!"

After saying that, everyone immediately rounded up their guns and aimed at Kevin and Anne.

The bullets deep from the dark muzzle would definitely take a person's life in one fire.

Anne bit her lips tightly. At this point, she would be lying if she said she was not afraid at all.

"You can choose between the two of us and Kim!" Suddenly, Anne managed to speak after trying to conceal her fright.

And although Kim's subordinates were ready to shoot at any time, they suddenly paused upon hearing her proposal.

"What do you mean?" the bodyguard asked, eyeing her in confusion.

"What if I tell you that we can help you save Kim if you let us get out of here safely, what will you choose?" Anne asked as she gazed at everyone while firmly holding Kevin's hand. She was clearly trying to gair their trust and establish rapport.

Kevin looked at her and immediately understood what she was doing.

"News that our boss is in jail has attracted the attention of the public. We can't save him at this point!" That was why these bodyguards were willing to risk their lives to kill Kevin and Anne.

In the distance, the police siren was getting closer and closer, and everyone was getting more and more anxious.

"Yeah, you can't save your boss, but it doesn't mean that Kevin couldn't!" she persuaded in a firm voice as a gleam of hope hinted in her eyes, The bodyguards looked at each other in utter confusion. Clearly, they were faced with a dilemma and did not know how to choose.

They didn't dare to underestimate Kevin's power after he completely beat Kim-the boss of an underground mafia.

They were willing to risk their own lives to kill Kevin and Anne because they had no other choice.

"Do you really have a solution?" The bodyguard gazed at Kevin, his expression wavering but a hint of hope was evident on his face.

"If you don't believe me, then I can't help you. We're on the same boat now. It's either we die together, or we live and save your boss." Kevin continued to cajole while concealing his nervousness. The calmer he was, the more confused the bodyguard was.

Seconds later, Kim's bodyguard sneered and raised his gun again, pointing it at Kevin's head. "You'd better keep your promise, or we will definitely come back and take your lives. For now, we'll teach you a lesson first so that you won't forget to save Kim!"

Kevin was surprised to see that the bodyguard shifted his gun and pointed at Anne!

Yes, they had grasped Kevin's weakness!

If he were shot, he wouldn't care about it. But if Anne were to get severely wounded, then Kevin would definitely lose his mind.

Being the gangsters that they were, these men clearly knew how to make Kevin keep his promise!

Meanwhile, Anne's body became stiff. Suddenly, a sharp and life-threatening bullet was shot from the dark muzzle towards her leg!

Her breathing fastened while she could feel that time had slowed down.

The bullet flew so fast that Anne's body could not move.

No!

She tightly closed her eyes, but before she could even feel the burning sensation of a bullet, a strong force had pushed her. The next second, she felt falling into a warm embrace, followed by a muffled groan that penetrated her ears.

Feeling no excruciating pain at all, she opened her eyes and trembled at what welcomed her sight.

Kevin, who was holding her tightly, had turned pale. And although he was clearly tormented with throbbing pain, he still managed to smile at her.

"Anne, don't be afraid. I'm here with you." His voice was still so gentle and reassuring.

Meanwhile, Kim's subordinates were all dumbfounded. They didn't expect that Kevin could move so fast to block the bullet meant for Anne.

At the same time, the police siren was fast approaching. These bodyguards knew that if they didn't leave now, there would really be no chance to escape anymore.

"Remember, this shot is just a small lesson. Next time, we will come with more people, and not only Kevin will get hurt!" After the cold voice, everyone immediately dispersed and hurried to their cars. "Kevin, where did you get shot? Tell me! Will I graze your wound if I move?"

There was a bit of sob in Anne's voice as she stayed still under his embrace. Kevin smiled and shook his head before struggling to sit on the ground.

As Anne watched him search his legs, she couldn't help but cover her mouth in shock. Because Kevin was wearing black suit pants, the stain of blood was not evident. But his whole leg had become wet! More that, a pool blood had already stained the ground-clear evidence tha he was sho

"Kevin, what should I do? What should I do?" Anne asked with her lips trembling. She knew she needed to be calm, but she just couldn't after seeing him like this!

"Call an ambulance!" In between gritted teeth, she dialed the number at once. Her shaking hands made it quite difficult to press the screen.

And as Kevin watched her, he couldn't help smiling. "Only one of my legs was wounded. There's no need to worry that much. Calm down."

Although he sounded so firm, his face had already turned pale, and Anne knew he was not safe yet.

Seconds later, the police car had finally arrived, and the first one to get out was Sam. A grimace of dissatisfaction immediately registered on his face as he saw the scene. "Where are your bodyguards? Why didn't you bring them with you?" Sam asked anxiously as he looked around and saw there were only the two of them.

Anne bit her lips, thinking of the same thing too.

"Nothing has happened for so many days. I didn't expect that they would catch us without our bodyguards this time," Kevin replied in a calm voice. Meanwhile, Sam frowned at him, feeling defeated.

"The gangsters have escaped. We will immediately replace clues to chase them," one of the policemen uttered after making a quick check of the surroundings.

And as they waited for the ambulance to arrive, a sharp and deadly look flashed in Kevin's eyes.

How dare those goons try to shoot Anne! They could hurt him all they wanted, but not Anne! Certainly not her!

Anne's mere existence was what transcended Kevin's own life!

He would never allow anyone to hurt her! This time, he would definitely capture them all!

As the ambulance roared and halted to a stop near them, Kevin closed his eyes, thankful that they were finally in good hands.

Once he was loaded in the ambulance, Anne followed inside and never left his side. Fortunately, only his right leg was injured, and it was nothing serious. After the bullet was taken out, he just needed to have a good rest to heal.

Once at the hospital, Anne was relieved to hear the doctor assure that he was indeed safe.

"Anne. Don't let Mom and the kids learn about this. I don't want them to worry about me." Thankfully, Kevin didn't fall into a coma, or else Anne wouldn't know what to do.

Nodding in agreement, she looked at Kevin and sighed heavily. "Kim's subordinates just wanted to teach us a lesson. They were aiming at my legs. You shouldn't have rushed up like that. What would I do if something terrible happens to you?" she said with a light sob coming out of her mouth.

With pursed lips, Kevin pulled her into his arms.

Although Anne was caught off-guard, she didn't dare to struggle from his embrace, considering his current condition. Instead, she just asked, "What's wrong?"

"Anne. I will protect you until I die!" Kevin tightened his hold around her as he swore those words. He was not the only one frightened by what happened just now. So was Anne.

And although he looked calm on the outside, it did not mean that he was not afraid at all!

Especially when those men aimed their guns at Anne! Kevin could feel that his heart had stopped beating at that moment!

It didn't matter whether it was him in danger as long as Anne was safe and sound!

Suddenly, tears streamed down her face as she nestled closely on Kevin's neck. And for a moment, his body froze out of shock. He surely wasn't expecting this reaction from her. But after a while, he held on to her even tighter.

They knew that this matter wasn't over.

It was not easy for them to send Kim to prison, so they would never let him out ever again!

It didn't matter if his subordinates would seek revenge for him again.

This time, Kevin and Anne would be fully prepared. They would definitely catch them all!

The group of men had lost their leader, the person and faith they believed in. No matter how hard they struggled, they would still meet their end!

Both Anne and Kevin didn't care about their own safety so long as the other was safe and away from danger. Indeed, their love was selfless!

On the other side, Emily was frightened to the core after hearing the news. She immediately came to the hospital to visit Anne and Kevin.

"Is your leg going to be all right?" she asked worriedly, looking at Kevin's leg covered in bandages.

"The doctor promised me that there will be no problem. Don't worry." After replying, Anne shifted her gaze at Emily's womb and added, "The first three months of pregnancy is very important. You can't just go out whenever you want. You could have just called me. Why did you still come here by yourself?"

"After learning I'm pregnant, I've done nothing but stay at home almost every day. I'm very bored. It's good for my physical and mental health to go out for a walk," Emily retorted, caressing her swollen womb. Hearing this, Anne smiled helplessly and looked at Kevin. She saw him staring at Emily with an indescribable and complicated expression in his eyes.

"What's wrong with you?" Anne asked and poked his arm.

Suddenly, Kevin came to his senses and turned his gaze at her before shaking his head lazily.

When Anne was pregnant, Kevin had never let her enjoy so much care and love.

Now that he thought about it, he did not give her anything when she was in the most difficult pregnancy period.

"Anne. I will protect you and treat you well for the rest of my life," Kevin promised so suddenly.

Not expecting his unsolicited promise, Anne and Emily raised their eyebrows at the same time and looked at him in confusion. As a reply, Kevin merely smiled at them.

Some things didn't need to be explained. The past was gone, and the most important now were the present and the future!

Anne shook her head helplessly, but a ghost of a smile was etched on her lips. Although she didn't understand what Kevin was thinking, she trusted him with all her heart.
