Attracted By My Ex-wife
Chapter 538 Please Stay Away From Me And My Daughter

Kevin and Peter arrived at the place with their men. The two of them looked at each other before scanning the place. Considering the danger they were in, the two men sought help from the police. "Everyone, be careful!" Kevin reminded.

At first, he only wanted to bring the bodyguards. But since Kim was a cold-blooded murderer, he decided to come with the police. After all, the police could use their power and guns to protect them. The police officers grabbed their weapons, ready to attack. They, too, knew that Kim was dangerous beyond their comprehension.

"Mr. Kevin, please stay right here. I will quickly go inside with my team." The police captain stepped forward.

Knowing that they had a plan of their own, Kevin and Peter retreated.

The captain waved his hand. Following his cue, a group of policemen gathered around him.

They had taken position around the building for a long time but couldn't replace anyone around. It looked like a desolate building. However, this couldn't be an empty place. They knew that the building was Kim's secret place where he had trapped Colin. Therefore, everyone had to be cautious now.

The police quickly moved into the building and threw a smoke bomb. But, to their utter dismay, no one walked out.

Kevin and Peter were equally surprised. They couldn't understand what was going in.

The head of the police remained calm. He immediately waved to the other team.

Another group of men jumped into the building, scanning the place with vigilant eyes. They waited for the enemy to attack any time.

However, there was not a trace of human activity in the building.

The place seemed eerily silent.

It was indeed an empty house. The police exchanged quizzical glances.

They continued to proceed with caution because Kim was a cunning fox. He might appear in front of them any time and catch them off guard. But no one else was in the vicinity. "Captain, this is an empty house!" one of the policemen reported.

The captain was astounded. The information was from a reliable source. He didn't think that the house would be empty. The man quickly turned around and explained the situation to Kevin. Kevin looked at Peter, wondering what was going on.

"Sir, we have found the hostage, but he has suffered serious injuries. The man is unconscious. Please call the medical team right away. We have to take him to the hospital," said another voice. The police captain gave his orders right away, and the medical team rushed into the building.

"According to our investigation, this is an empty house. There are no bombs or any weapons here," informed the captain.

Kevin nodded. He had noticed what was going on even before the police informed him.

They hadn't saved Colin from Kim, but the man had decided to send Colin back to them instead.

He had chosen to set him free. This was a deeply inflammatory move! When Kim wanted Colin, he made sure no one could replace him. However, now that he had chosen to let him go, he still made it difficult for them to replace him.

Kevin angrily stormed into the building. Peter followed him with a smile on his face.

Kim had always been arrogant. Therefore, he wasn't surprised.

The medical staff quickly lifted Colin and placed him on the stretcher. The man looked frail; the blood on his broken finger had dried up. They hadn't bothered to bandage the wound. Colin's finger was infected, and the puss continued to ooze out.

His suit was torn on the places where they had beaten him up. The bruises all over his body revealed that he had been attacked with a whip. There were other scars and injuries they couldn't identify yet. Kevin closed his eyes as anger surged through his veins. 'Kim, I will replace you soon. And when I do, I'll make sure you suffer the same fate.'

The medical team took Colin to the hospital right away. The doctors made a comprehensive examination to analyze his physical and mental health.

Although Colin was tortured for several days, there were no internal injuries in his body. He was in good condition. However, they couldn't recover his broken finger. Perhaps this was the best for him.

Kevin called Anne right away to inform her that they had found Colin. The woman fell silent.

'Kim, is this your first gift for me?'

"Anne, please don't overthink this. We didn't expect this to happen, but Colin is safe now. Kim can't hurt anyone now!" Kevin growled angrily.

"I trust you," Anne replied after taking a deep breath.

Since time immemorial, justice had won evil. There was no way Kim would escape after hurting so many people.

Colin was still in a coma. Anne was hesitant to share the news with Ella. She decided to tell her once Colin regained consciousness.

The little girl would be heartbroken to see her father in such a condition.

Anne went to the hospital that evening. Colin was still unconscious.

"Doctor, I thought that he was only suffering from minor bruising and not any serious injuries. Why hasn't he woken up yet?" Anne shook her head in confusion.

"This gentleman has been through a lot of pain. He is finally resting, and his subconscious mind is forcing him to rest longer." The doctor sighed.

Anne's body went stiff after she heard that. After a long while, she turned around, sat on the edge of the bed and examined the wounds on Colin's body. She felt sad to see how thin he had become.

She let out a weary sigh and held Colin's hand. "You are in a safe place, Colin. You are out of danger now. We have saved you from the devil. Why don't you want to wake up? Don't you miss Ella? You will be able to see her only if you wake up."

Anne knew that only Ella had the power to wake him up.

However, Colin refused to move. He was still in deep sleep.

Anne took out her phone and played a video of Ella dancing around and having fun. The little girl was laughing happily.

Her joyful laughter reverberated across the silent room.

A frown lined Colin's forehead. Anne's heart leaped to her throat; she immediately increased the volume.

After struggling for half an hour, Colin finally opened his eyes. Confusion settled on his face as he looked around the room.

"Doctor, the patient is awake!" Anne shouted.

The door of the ward flew open, and the doctor rushed in. He examined Colin's body and breathed a sigh of relief. "This gentleman will recover soon if he gets good rest."

Anne thanked the doctor and sat beside Colin.

Just then, Kevin arrived at the ward with Eddy. He didn't know that Anne was here.

"Colin. I'm sorry," Anne whimpered guiltily.

After a long time, Colin's eyes finally came to focus. He looked around before his gaze settled on Anne. The man looked as if he couldn't recognize her. "Where is Ella?" he asked in a raspy voice. "Don't worry. Ella is in the Fu Family's residence. But you are injured now. I was worried that Ella might freak out if she sees you in this condition, so I didn't bring her with me," Anne explained. Colin scoffed sarcastically. "Ella will be safe only if she leaves your family. Your house is the most dangerous place in the world. My daughter will not be safe there."

Anne's heart sank. Her worst fear had come true.

Unable to face him, she looked away. After Kim abducted Colin, all the people who had collaborated with him terminated their contracts. The man was left with nothing now. However, none of it mattered because she and Kevin would take care of everything. The couple was responsible for the man's condition, so they would do anything to help him. However, no one could heal his broken finger or the trauma in his heart.

"I'm really sorry. I didn't expect that Kim would do this to you." Tears streamed down Anne's cheeks. "It's all my fault. I know that I can't reverse the damages regardless of what I do or say." Colin's jaw tightened; his body grew tense. "I want to see my daughter!"

"Okay!" Anne nodded and called Kevin right away.

The man immediately left home to bring Ella.

Ella was sitting on the bed, playing with her doll. Her eyes flashed with excitement when she saw the door open.

"Uncle, have you found my father? Have you come to take me to him?" Ella asked, grinning happily.

Kevin's eyes widened, but he managed to suppress the astonishment on his face. "Yes. I am going to take you to your father."

Ella clapped her hands excitedly. "Great! That's great! I am going to see my father!" She was jumping on the bed happily.

Kevin's heart broke at the sight of the little girl. He walked out of the room, giving time for her to get ready. The little girl put on her shoes and followed him to the car.

She was smiling and laughing on the way to the hospital. The world somehow seemed beautiful today.

Once they reached the hospital, Ella ran to the ward and opened the door. However, the smile on her face vanished when she saw her father's broken body. Colin was a strong man who loved sports. She had never seen her father like this in her life.

The man's face was pale; he looked weak.

Ella slowly walked up to him.

"Dad!" She hugged him tightly and began to cry hysterically.

Ella had been excited about meeting her father but didn't think that she would see him in this condition. She couldn't understand what had happened to him.

"Ella, don't cry. Daddy is back. Don't cry, honey." Colin stroked her back comfortingly.

Ella nodded, but fresh tears cascaded down her cheeks when she saw his bandaged finger. "Dad, does your hand hurt?"

Kim had chopped the middle finger of Colin's right hand.

The blood on Colin's face drained as he recalled the incident. His body trembled with fear. However, he forced a smile. "Yes, a little bit. But I will get better in a couple of days."

Ella nodded and saw Anne standing beside the bed. She quickly walked up to her and grabbed her hand. "Thank you so much, Mom. You have kept your promise. If it weren't for you and Uncle Kevin, Daddy wouldn't have come back soon."

The girl's words broke Anne's heart all over again. She felt guilty and couldn't stop blaming herself for Colin's condition.

Anne shook her head fiercely. 'It's not true! I'm the reason why your dad got into trouble,' thought she. However, Anne couldn't say the words out in front of Ella.

She deserved blame and punishment, not gratitude.

Colin couldn't stand it anymore. "Ella, you had one mother, but she died when you were born. The woman in front of you is not your mother!"

The little girl turned around and looked at her father in confusion. He had allowed her to address Anne as her mother, but he seemed to have a problem with it now.

"Mrs. Anne, I hope you realize the danger you have brought into our lives. Please stay away from me and my daughter. We don't want to see you anymore!" Colin exclaimed.

Anne's lips trembled. She stepped forward to explain but the words stuck in her throat.

Colin had every right to be mad at her. She was the reason for all the problems he had to go through. How could Anne justify herself after what had happened?

"Dad, what's wrong with you? How can you talk to her like this? When you were gone, Mom and Uncle Kevin took good care of me. They treated me as their own child," Ella explained. She was surprised to witness the change in her father's attitude.

But Colin continued to glare at Anne. His disgust and hatred for the woman were evident in his eyes.

He had already been through a lot and didn't want to suffer anymore because of the Fu Family.

Moreover, he had to protect his daughter as well. He was all she had. If something happened to him, Ella would become an orphan.

Colin had to think of his daughter first. Her safety was more important to him. Therefore, he decided to stay away from the Fu Family. He believed that Anne would understand his concern and stay away from them.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
