Renewal Of Love novel Chapter 122

Kevin stripped of Cherry's arms and helped her lie down gently.

"Kevin, will you stay here with me? I beg you please…"

She pressed once more for Kevin to remain by her side after seeing that he was about to leave her. She had suffered so much to stop him from leaving for America to go look for Anne. How would she possibly let him leave so easily now?

"Cherry, I have something to deal with. I will ask the butler to take care of you and give you medical attention." Kevin's private plane to America was still waiting for him to come aboard.

"Are you sure you'll leave me alone like this? Don't you want to stay with me a moment longer?"

Her tears streamed down her face like broken beads. She feared that Kevin would eventually take Anne back.

Kevin stopped and glanced at the state of pain Cherry was in, feeling sorry for her.

"Kevin, I know you want to find Anne, and I know that I can't stop you from your own decisions. But, can you not go at this very minute? Can you stay with me for a few more days? I don't want to lose you so soon."

She stared at Kevin with soliciting eyes.

Alas, his heart softened when he saw her so weak. After all, it was ultimately his fault that she became like this.

"Okay, I'll stay with you." Back to the bedside, Kevin sat down beside Cherry and looked at her in a mediocre manner.

With a triumphant smile at the corners of her mouth, Cherry cautiously embraced Kevin's arm and slowly closed her eyes.

But Kevin had already made up his mind to get Anne back. If he failed to find a way to reach her, their relationship would seemingly end, and he could not let such a thing happen.

He didn't move an inch until Cherry fell asleep. He gently shook his arm to release himself from her and tucked her in a quilt before heading out.

"Mr. Kevin, is Miss Cherry all right? How is she doing?" the butler said anxiously as soon as he saw Kevin step out of Cherry's room.

"What's wrong with you, butler? How could you let this happen?"

Kevin was furious as he flared his eyes at the perturbed expression on the butler's face. He couldn't even do his job to take care of a person. Kevin had no idea as to why he administered to keep the butler as his right hand at home over the years.

"It's my fault, Mr. Kevin. Please sentence the consequences of my poor actions." The butler was appalled and quickly bowed his head to apologize as he felt Kevin's annoyance.

"Just this once!" Kevin let it slip away. He knew he had no time to discipline the butler.

When Cherry woke up, she was alone in her bed and found out that Kevin did not stay the night with her. She was deeply disappointed. It was not until that she confirmed with the servants that he hadn't gone to look for Anne that she finally felt relieved.

She dialed Selma's number right away and told her everything that had happened recently, especially that Kevin decided to leave to go find Anne in America.

On the other end of the phone, Selma was furious. She put the phone down like a judge at the court and made her way to Kevin's villa in a flash.

When she entered the villa, Kevin was there, sitting in the living room, listening to his secretary reporting the possible locality of Anne's whereabouts over the phone. He hung up the phone right there and then he saw Selma approaching him with urgency.

"Mom? What are you doing here?" He was surprised to see Selma at this time, but he still had gotten to his feet and walked up to her.

"Why am I here? If I didn't come here, things would be out of hand," Selma said with all guns blazing. Seeing Kevin in front of her and considering Cherry's words, she was infuriated.

With a crestfallen smile, he felt a little blue, but he still asked patiently, "What made you so angry and pumped up?"

"You want to know what made me angry? Let me ask you, what's the matter with Cherry?"

Selma snorted and strode towards him with blatant outrage in her arresting eyes.

"Is that why you came all the way here today?"

Hearing his mother's remarks made Kevin's face turned cold. His stygian eyes dimmed with resentment.

"Kevin, tell me what happened!" Selma got even more provoked upon receiving Kevin's callous attitude.

"Don't you know everything already? What else do I need to explain?"

Kevin's face loured as he had a clue as to why his mother had to see him.

"Are you really going out there to find that damsel? Have you forgotten how viscous of a woman she is?" Selma tried hard to suppress her dismay and patiently persuaded him.

"I have a list of things to deal with back in the company. Let's talk about it later when I come back." Aware of what his mother was going to say next, Kevin stood up irritably, picked up his coat, and walked out.

"Kevin…" Selma piqued even more knowing that his son used an alibi to purposely avoid the conversation.

'What's so good about that bitch? She has been long gone, but my son still can't forget her scent like a dog,' she gossiped in her thoughts.

Looking at Kevin's disappearing figure, Selma made up her mind with churlishness to forbid her son from finding that woman.

Now that Kevin was more obsessed and desperate to find Anne, his attachment would be completely irreversible once he got her back.

Seeing Cherry's room from where she stood, Selma went for the stairs in a hurry.

In the room, Cherry had overheard Selma talking to Kevin. When Selma stepped into the room, she quickly got out of bed to greet her.

"Auntie, thank god you are here."

Cherry's face was still pale as ice and her lips were blue and bloodless. At this moment, she looked frail.

"Lie down quickly now. You look so weak. You need to have a rest." Selma hastily assisted Cherry to the bed with pity in her fierce eyes.

"It's okay. I'm much better now. I'm sorry you had to see me like this." Cherry lowered her head with embarrassment in a blank stare.

"What are you talking about? I feel so sorry you had to go through this. How could you have done such a silly thing?"

Looking at Cherry's feeble face, Selma felt disheartened for her.

"The truth is, I never intended to do this. I was anxious when I heard that Kevin was going to find Anne. I had no idea what to do, so I used such a desperate method."

The truth was, Cherry had some common medical knowledge. Although her wound was deep, she cleverly avoided any vital blood vessels. It looked serious for the part, but it was not lethal.

"It's all about this woman, Anne. That woman is just a nightmare. I don't know what kind of tactic she used to seduce my son, but he still can't forget her!"

Selma thumped a heavy hand on the table to vent her frustration.

"Auntie, it's my fault. I can't win his heart, but I promise I am doing the best I can. I want him to be mine, but you know his character. No one can change what he has decided. I fear that sooner or later he will abandon me."

Cherry's lips trembled as tears gushed down her face while she spoke. Her thin frame quivered as she wept as fragile as porcelain.

Gazing at her with solace, Selma scowled tightly. Compared with Anne, Cherry was the best daughter-in-law in her heart. She would never acknowledge someone like Anne.

"Dear, it's not your fault. You should blame that bitch, Anne. If it weren't for her, you and Kevin would have been happily together a long time ago. Don't worry. I assure you, I will support you on this affair. You are the one and only daughter-in-law of the Fu Family.

"But Kevin…" Cherry trailed off in a worried voice.

No one could change Kevin's mind. Even if she had Selma's support, she was afraid that she might not be able to marry Kevin successfully. She was really terrified. What should she do if Kevin was determined to find Anne?

If she could not become the lady of the Fu Family, how could she get rid of her father?

"Don't worry. I'll handle it. I'll have Kevin marry you willingly."

A trace of a grin flashed on Selma's lips. Since Kevin didn't want to marry Cherry, she should do something that would force him to marry her.

"Auntie, have you thought of a way for him to stay with me? What's your plan?" Cherry nervously asked as she was intrigued by Selma's plot.

"I've figured a way out of this mess. You just do as I say. I promise he will be willing to marry you."

A wicked smile appeared on Selma's face.

"If I can marry Kevin as I wished, I will definitely repay you for your help."

Seeing that Selma was self-assured, Cherry felt a little relieved. With Selma on her side, she might be able to marry Kevin as she desired.

"Silly girl, we will be a family sooner or later. You don't have to be so polite to me."

Selma was very happy to hear what Cherry said. The mother-in-law she chose was very fulfilling.

Cherry lowered her head timidly as she thought about her own ploy.

After comforting Cherry, Selma left the villa. Since Kevin had made up his mind to find Anne, she was not to be blamed if she used some special course of action.

As soon as Selma left the villa, Cherry's phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, she became furious and wanted to hurl her cell phone out,

but she couldn't.

"Why did you call me again? Haven't I told you not to bother me when you have no business talking with me?" Cherry spoke to the person on the other end of the line in a menacing tone as soon as the call connected.

"Cherry, what's wrong with you? It's me, your father. How could you talk to me in such a tone? Where are your manners?"

The man got irked and couldn't help but lecture Cherry.

"Father? I don't have a father like you. Have you ever seen a father who always came to threaten his daughter for money?"

Cherry snorted with disdain. She wasn't at all pleased with his father treating her like that.

"Cut the crap, Cherry. I want money!" The person seemed to pause before switching to an aggressive tone.
