Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186 Call the Cops 

I quickly gave the person a video call, but the other party simply refused to answer the call. 

I watched the video several times. Rivaella was undoubtedly alive, and she was still wearing the same attire she was in on the day we went for a barbecue. But the surroundings were too 

dark, and I couldn’t make out where she was. 

I knew that I should be calling the police now, but at the same time, I knew that that wasn’t a smart move. What if Keenan had planted spies around me? What if he really killed her? 

Keenan had wanted me to contact Randall, but I didn’t have his contact information! In the midst of my frustration, I went to the rooftop in hopes of catching some fresh air. Unexpectedly, Randall was here too! 

“Eva!” He was still hiding in the spot where we last conversed. 

I looked at him in astonishment. “Randall, y–you were here the whole time?” 

He nodded. “It’s safest here, and I’m familiar with the hospital grounds, so I can avoid all the surveillance cameras. I saw the reports on the Internet. How are things?” 

He looked relaxed, and he had a trunk beside him. It looked like he was really planning on leaving. 

I suddenly grew nervous. “Randall, Rivaella is in trouble.” There were no reports made regarding Rivaella’s case, and there was no news about it either. Naturally, he was still oblivious about it. 

After he saw the video, Randall closed his eyes. “Call the cops,” he said. 

I looked at him in disbelief. “Randall, what if Keenan is watching us? What if-” 

He repeated himself. “Call the cops. Contact the police that Leonard is acquainted with. I trust Leonard, so I trust him too.” Randall was so calm that I was afraid. In his eyes, I saw a hint of emotion that I simply couldn’t put a finger on, 

Under his insistence, I eventually contacted Graeme. 

If it were just up to me and Randall alone, it’d be impossible for us to subdue Keenan. He had taken Rivaella right from the start. He had most likely been waiting for Randall. 

Who would have known that the fund that Leonard had fabricated would be the final straw for him? 

When we finally met Graeme, he looked grim. That was especially so when he saw Randall.” You should know that what you did all those years ago was a crime, Randall.” 

“I know. I am willing to turn myself in. I just hope that the police will save my daughter,” Randall said calmly, as though he had come to this decision right off the bat. 

Graeme didn’t say more to us and went ahead to make arrangements. 

I pulled out an intricate looking USB drive and handed it to Randall. 

“Back then, I told Keenan that the secret key was with you, and that I was unable to access the fund. Just pretend that this is the key. He won’t have the time to check it for the time being We need to save Rivaella first ” 

The police helped us set up a fake website and taught Randall how to log in and navigate the site just in case. 

The whole time that he was briefed, Randall only nodded or shook his head, rarely saying word. He focused on every word the police said and would occasionally move his fingers, as though trying to commit something to memory. 

When everything was about ready, my phone rang. Keenan had sent me a location. 

“Get here with Randall within an hour. If I see a third person with you, Rivaella will meet her maker!” His tone was menacing and sounded like he was forcing his words through gritted 

teeth 

I realized that my hands were shaking, but I still managed an “Ok” 

Graeme tapped on my shoulder. “Don’t worry, there will be a sniper going along. If Keenan tries anything funny. Just don’t worry, alright? The police will be there to protect you.” 

I nodded before looking at Randall. 

He gave me a smile. But the burn scars on his face make the smile seem grotesque. Still, his gaze was gentle, and so was his voice 

“Don’t worry, Eva, I’ll protect both you and Riva There’s nothing to be afraid of” Something flashed in his eyes and disappeared in a fraction of a second.
