Renewal Of Love novel Chapter 42

Emily immediately felt irritated when Cherry knelt down and cried.

"Miss, we don't blame you. It's not your fault. You don't have to kneel down to us!"

Linda was quite shocked at her action. Her heart softened at the sight of the poor girl as she sincerely apologized to her. She understood that she couldn't bear to blame her.

She shifted her gaze at Anne. The moment she looked at her, she knew she could not sympathize with her.

"Is she your cousin?"

Linda walked closer to Anne with the help of her husband, Craig Sun. They resembled old people. Although they were getting older, they were still full of energy.

It was an unfortunate event for them. The trauma was still evident in their faces.

"What did our daughter do to you? How could you do this to her?"

Linda started to question Anne. Her eyes were begging. Anne stood up and looked straight into their eyes.

She said, "Mrs. Sun, I didn't touch Ruth. I swear!"

The way she spoke was so quiet, and her aura was so strong. Although Linda was already on the verge of collapse, she couldn't care if Anne's words were truthful or not.

But Craig Sun was still a sensible person. He nodded and answered, "Girl, I believe you won't do that. When the operation is over, everything will be clear."

"Thank you." Anne moved aside and made room for the two elders.

As they were waiting for the operation to end, Linda sat on the chair anxiously with a dull look on her face. Craig Sun tried to comfort her and managed to calm her down.

Cherry was left astonished as she stared at Anne. She was amazed that Anne was able to resolve their problem with a few words.

Emily was breathless for a moment. She came back to her senses, finally relieved and exclaimed, "Oh my God, I was scared to death. I thought they would hit you!"

"How could it be?" Anne shook her head. "Don't think too much. Does Kevin know we are here?"

"Yes." Emily nodded. "I called Sam as soon as I got here. They should be arriving soon."

At a critical moment, the first person Emily remembered was Sam. She was really afraid that something bad would happen, so she couldn't help crying when she called Sam.

Hearing her crying like that, Sam realized the gravity of the situation and immediately called Kevin.

"Okay." Anne nodded. She leaned against the wall as she stared at the operation lamp. She clasped her hands and started to pray that Ruth would be fine.

Emily was right all along, even though she didn't push Ruth, it was partly her fault. If she hadn't moved aside, Ruth wouldn't have fallen down.

But if she didn't move, she could have fallen down instead.

Anne touched her abdomen and smiled bitterly. She did that for her baby. If she weren't pregnant, she would've sacrificed herself and fallen down instead.

"Humph, don't be smug." Cherry stood beside Anne without her noticing. "If something really happens to Ruth, you will have a hard time."

Anne raised an eyebrow and glanced at her with cold eyes. "Really? Do you think you'll be better off?"

"Why won't I be better?" Cherry smirked and whispered in Anne's ear, "For me, as long as I play a little trick, you will be doomed. Haven't you understood this until now?"

"Cherry, you are in such a hurry."

Anne turned her head and stepped aside. She didn't want to hear from Cherry anymore.

Emily noticed that Cherry was getting too close to Anne. She quickly stepped in and stood between the two, leaving no chance for them to speak.

"Anne!"

A loud scream was heard along the corridor of the hospital. Linda immediately recognized who it was. "Alan, you're here!"

As soon as Alan received the phone call, he immediately set aside his work and rushed over to the hospital. While he was on his way, he had heard that Anne was involved in the incident. He wanted to cut Anne into a thousand pieces, thinking that she was the reason behind all of it.

"Anne, what kind of feud do you have with the Sun Family? How could you do this to my sister?"

He walked straight towards Anne. His eyes were sharper than a sword, as if he was trying to pierce her heart.

"What do you mean?"

Anne knew that Alan thought that it was her fault. He had always thought badly of her. Sure enough, she could tell from the moment that he arrived here and headed straight to confront her, he was definitely counting it over her head.

"Don't you know what I mean?" Alan started pointing at the tip of Anne's nose. He clenched his teeth as he spoke accusingly, "What can't a woman like you do?"

Anne bit her lips and stared at Alan blankly. "I didn't do anything to your sister. Don't blame me for this."

"You are really—" He stopped mid-sentence. He suddenly smirked and contained his anger. "Let me tell you, if anything happens to my sister, I will never let you go for the rest of my life."

After he spoke, he turned his back at her, and walked towards his parents and began to comfort them.

Anne leaned against the wall as she felt a sudden chill run down her spine. She clenched her fists tightly as she tried to contain the pain. She couldn't feel any warmth either.

Emily knew that Anne must be hurting. She approached her and held onto her arms as she tried to console her.

Sam and Kevin finally arrived. Both of them came rushing through the corridors of the hospital. Sam approached Anne first and worriedly asked her, "Are you alright?"

Emily was relieved that they came. She didn't mind that Sam did not even bother to look at her.

She stretched her hands out and grabbed Sam's sleeve.

She started crying, finding comfort in his presence. "Sam, you're finally here."

Sam turned his head and noticed that Emily's eyes were swollen. He felt a needle prick his heart when he saw how helpless she was. He took out a napkin from his pocket and handed it to Emily.

"Don't cry. Everything's going to be fine."

"Okay." Emily grabbed the napkin and wiped her eyes.

Anne glanced at Kevin. He was standing not too far from her, he obviously had no intention of coming closer. She tried to decipher his expression from afar but she couldn't.

She didn't have much reaction to Kevin's arrival.

On the other hand, Cherry was elated when she saw Kevin. She immediately ran and threw herself into his arms.

"Kevin, you're finally here. I'm so scared. I'm really scared."

Cherry always knew how to melt his heart. She had always been a good actress. Kevin felt a stinging pain in his heart when he saw her crying. Cherry's pitiful face coupled with her petite figure was enough to make him feel sorry for her.

He gently grabbed her and slowly patted her back.

"Don't be afraid. I'm here now."

Anne was standing not too far from them, and she heard everything that Kevin said. Every word was so clear.

She immediately looked away and tried her best not to look at them again.

It pained her heart to see them being so hopelessly in love with each other.

Anne knew that she still couldn't deceive herself.

At that moment, she felt extremely cold.

She couldn't help but wrap her exposed shoulders. She looked at the closed operating room, wishing it all ended sooner. The person inside was not doing well.

Anne realized at that moment that the odds were never in her favor.

While everyone was waiting, the doors of the operating room suddenly opened. The doctor finally came out and approached Ruth's family. He announced that Ruth fell into a vegetative state.

Anne almost fell down at the announcement, but she tried her best to stand tall.

Naturally, Linda couldn't accept the news, and immediately fainted.

Everyone was heartbroken. The entire corridor was in chaos. Linda was sent to a ward until she recovered from the shock. Alan accompanied her mother but before he left, he managed to glare at Anne one more time.

Anne felt hatred and anger from his eyes.

But that time, his reaction was nothing to her anymore. All she could think of was Ruth's domineering face.

She couldn't believe that such an arrogant woman would end up like that.

"Kevin, what should we do? It's all my fault!"

Cherry started to get hysterical. She trembled as she hugged him tightly, trying to grasp the news.

"I shouldn't have gone shopping with her. If I hadn't gone shopping with her, I wouldn't have met Anne and the accident wouldn't have happened. It's all my fault!"

Cherry cried out her guilt while Kevin stared at Anne without saying anything.

Anne knew at the way Kevin looked at her that he believed everything that Cherry told him.

Needless to say, he must have been thinking that she really pushed Ruth down. He believed that in the process of arguing with Ruth, Anne's beastliness was triggered, and that resulted in Ruth's condition right now.

Everyone must have thought that it was nothing to her because of her reaction.

Her empty expression must have made everyone think she was actually heartless.

"Anne." Sam knew what kind of person Anne was. 'She didn't even want to kill an ant. How could she do such a thing?'

From the way he observed Anne's face, he already had an idea of what was going on.

Anne looked back at him and asked, "What is it?"

"Don't worry. With the current medical technology, she's going to wake up one day."

Sam tried to comfort her, but it seemed that she didn't need any comfort. "I know,"

she calmly answered. Her calmness was almost terrifying. Nothing that happened in this hospital sparked any emotion. The incident barely affected her.

"Really? Will she really wake up?"

Emily butted in. She choked at her words as she continued to cry. No matter how much Emily hated Ruth, she never wanted her to end up in a vegetative state.
