"Eddy, I'm sorry. I was missing again. But don't worry. I won't do that again. I'll always be with you,
Eddy," said Anne with a smile. She reached out and rubbed Eddy's face.
Eddy nodded heavily and threw himself into his mother's arms. He was greedy for the warmth of his
mother, but his eyes were full of coldness that didn't match his age.
In the past, all things his parents experienced were all because of Selma, who always wanted to
separate Anne and Kevin. If it weren't for her, they wouldn't suffer this much.
Now, Anne had given birth to three children for Kevin. They should have a happy family, but it was also
because of Selma again that the whole family couldn't have a peaceful life. Especially now, Selma had
gone too far this time.
For this point, Anne couldn't bear it, and neither could Kevin. Even Eddy was unable to endure.
In the name of Kevin's mother and Eddy's grandmother, Selma did so many things to hurt their family.
They couldn't allow it.
Kevin asked Emily to take care of Anne. He stood up and walked out. Looking at his back, Anne pursed
her lips and wanted to say something, but it turned into a helpless sigh.
At first, he shouldn't have put Kevin in a difficult position, nor should she have let Kevin have an unfilial
reputation. But what Selma had done had reached her rock bottom.
Anne reached out and held her forehead. Suddenly, her hand was grabbed by Eddy. She lowered her
head and looked into her son's eyes.
Eddy's eyes were big, dark, and deep. Looking at his mother, Eddy pursed his lips and suddenly said,
"Mom, if we continue to indulge her, we will still get hurt. Dad is a man, and he should protect our
family. Now he should do what he ought to."
Anne was surprised when hearing his words. Although Selma didn't treat her well, she treated Eddy
quite well.
"If she does something to hurt me in the name of love, then this love is not true love, and I don't want it
either." Eddy turned her face aside and Anne couldn't see his expression clearly, but his voice showed
that he wasn't calm at all.
Anne heaved a sigh, but she couldn't say a word.
Eddy was way too considerate and sensible.
On the other side, Kevin drove away and soon found Selma. Sitting on the sofa, Selma looked at him
blankly with a cold face, as if she had been absent-minded for a long time.
Kevin frowned slightly and walked slowly towards her. The sound of his leather shoes stepping on the
floor was particularly loud, but particularly harsh, which made Selma feel creepy.
Her body stiffened. She slowly raised her head and looked into her son's eyes. There was no warmth in
Kevin's eyes, only disgust and coldness.
Did he hate her, his own mother?
Selma's body trembled, and the anger in her heart surged up again. She sneered and said with a false
smile, "Are you going to cut ties with me because I hurt Anne?"
Kevin frowned and his eyes became colder. At this point, Selma still didn't regret it at all.
"If I didn't check the surveillance video in time, how are you going to deal with Anne? Keep her in that
cave until she starves to death?" Kevin lowered his head and asked.
Selma frowned and bit her lower lip. After hesitating for a while, she replied, "I know I've done some
crazy things, but I'm not going to kill her. I'll send her dry food and water regularly."
"And then? Will you just imprison her for a whole lifetime?" Kevin continued to ask.
Selma shook her head and said, "Kevin, I've never thought of that. I know it's wrong to imprison her,
but I don't want to imprison her for the rest of her life. I just want to release her after you can't find her
and give up eventually,"
Selma explained in a hurry.
Kevin shook his head.
His face became colder. Speaking of this, Selma still wanted to separate them.
"Mom, I love Anne wholeheartedly." In the silence, Kevin said solemnly, "Those who dares to hurt Anne
equals to me enemies. If someone is against me, what do you think I would do? I believe you know it!"
Kevin gained the power of the CEO at a young age. If he didn't have any ability, who would submit to
such a young man?
Selma had watched Kevin grow up. She knew how Kevin dealt with his enemies. She knew it much
better than anyone else did.
However, Selma had never expected that one day, she would become an enemy in Kevin's eyes.
But she was his mother, wasn't she? Selma still didn't believe Kevin would do anything to her.
"Mom, I always told you it was the last chance, but because you are my mother, I always retreat again
and again. But this time, you've really touched my rock bottom. If I keep retreating, I will really be on
the cliff and be smashed to pieces."
"You forced me to do this!
As for the kidnapping, Anne is kind-hearted and she doesn't want to blame you, but I can't just let it go.
I'll keep the evidence well. If you do anything to hurt Anne again, I'll hand the evidence over to the
police."
"What do the directors in the group think of you now? I don't need to tell you about it. You know clearly
in your heart about the currently situation. They would only mind their own business unless I tell them
to do something."
"Mom, if you don't want to go to jail, just behave yourself."
Before leaving, Kevin had a serious conversation with his mother. Selma's roar rang out behind Kevin,
but he didn't change his mind at all. All this was caused by Selma herself, and she couldn't blame
anyone else!
When a person's rock bottom was trampled, no matter what, they should do something.
When Kevin returned to the hospital, Sally had fallen asleep beside Anne. Sitting on a chair, Eddy was
peeling an apple for his mother.
Kevin stepped forward and held Anne in his arms. Her body stiffened, while Eddy turned his face away
subconsciously, as if he was ignoring them no matter what they were doing.
At that moment, Anne's face turned red. She gently pushed Kevin and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Kevin gently stroked her hair and kissed her on the uninjured cheek.
"Anne. Don't worry. I have made up my mind this time. I won't let her do anything evil again. You will be
safe."
Kevin's voice was very calm, as if he was talking about something usual, which showed how
disappointed Selma had made him.
Eddy had been staying with Kevin for two years. Of course, he understood what Kevin meant by saying
that.
His father must have broken up with his grandmother.
Eddy shook his head slightly and continued to peel the apple. It was not her father's fault from
beginning to end.
Anne sighed and hugged Kevin back. They all knew how embarrassed Kevin was.
But this time, what Selma had done was too crazy and dangerous. Anne wondered what Selma would
do if they couldn't control her track. Would she directly make a car accident? What if she bumped into
her to death?
Now, Kevin's warning to Selma was also a helpless way to protect Anne.
Perhaps only in this way could Selma restrain herself.
"Kevin, I know it's hard for you. Thank you." Looking at the tired look on Kevin's face, Anne said with
concern.
Kevin shook his head slightly in silence. What he did now was what a husband should do. As a father, it
was not hard. This was his responsibility.
On the second day, Ryan brought a bunch of fruit flowers to visit Anne. Anne looked at him with a smile
on his face.
Perhaps, many things had happened between them before, but once again, they had gone through
thick and thin together. Now, they had a new understanding of each other.
At the moment when Anne thought she was going to die, Ryan's voice haunted her ears from
beginning to end. He gave her strength, hugged her tightly and warmed her. At that moment, she
thanked him for having such a friend.
So, there was nothing that couldn't be let go, and there was nothing that couldn't be overcome.
She needed Ryan as her friend.
"Hi Ryan. Here you came! Have a seat. I was about to call you and ask how you are doing? Did you
catch a cold?" Anne looked at Ryan worriedly.
Although Ryan was not as badly injured as she was, he was also badly beaten by two brawny men.
Moreover, he was thrown into a cave, which would naturally make him sick.
Ryan raised his arm and said with a smile, "I have eaten something and slept for a while. Everything is
fine. As for you, you should get better soon."
Smiling and nodding, Anne raised her head to look at Kevin, who seemed to be lost in thought, and
raised her eyebrows slightly.
Kevin looked at Ryan up and down and shook his head slightly. Although he felt that Ryan was alright
at one moment, there seemed to be something wrong with him at this moment.
"Ryan, did you have a plastic surgery this time? I feel a little strange when looking at your face," Kevin
rubbed his chin and asked Ryan.
Ryan's expression changed. He frowned slightly and looked at Anne. Then he asked almost tentatively,
"Anne, look at my face. Is there any change?"
Raising her eyebrows, although Anne didn't know what was going on, she still observed seriously. She
shook her head and said, "I didn't find anything."
What else could she see when she was used to a person's face. Some things that existed in the
memory were quietly changing.
Ryan smiled and said to Kevin, "Since Anne said, there's no any change. It seems that you are wrong."
Kevin smiled but didn't say anything. Maybe he was really wrong.
Sally and Eddy opened the door and came in. When they saw Ryan, Sally immediately ran over and
climbed on his legs.
In the world of children, there was a clear distinction between good and bad people. Sally knew that the
bad one was her grandmother and the good one was this uncle.
When the bad grandmother wanted to kill her mother, it was this good uncle who protected her mother.
So, Sally decided to like the good uncle.
"Good uncle, I haven't seen you for days. I miss you so much." Sally stared at Ryan with her big eyes.
Ryan's eyes flashed and he frowned slightly. Somehow, hearing Sally's way to address him, he felt
uneasy.
Then he asked in a low voice, "Sally, why do you call me good uncle?"
With a smile at the corners of his mouth, Sally answered in an innocent and serious tone, "That day, a
bad guy wanted to catch Mom, but you protected her. I know that you are a good man, so I call you
good uncle."
Ryan nodded slightly. So that's how it was. Looking at Ryan, Eddy also smiled aside. To protect her
mother in that situation, Ryan was a good person indeed to both Sally and Eddy.
So, how could they be stingy with a good person? Of course, they should give him the most beautiful
smile and the most obedient performance.
Shaking her head slightly, Anne looked up at Kevin, who was still lost in thought. The smile on her face
slowly disappeared. Although she didn't know why, she could tell that Kevin had been suspecting Ryan
always.
