The Law of Attraction - Chapter 651

It was late afternoon when Kenzie received a call from the hospital that her father would wake up soon, as the medicine that the doctor had administered during surgery would soon lose its effect. So she and Daryl rushed to the hospital that instant, leaving Cris in charge of the office.

Kenzie could not wait to see her father awake. As soon as they reached the hospital, they walked towards the VIP room where her father was just being moved.

“Careful, baby,” Dary said, holding Kenzie’s hand tightly. She was almost running in the hallway, filled with eagerness to see her father.

“Oh, I want us to be the first people he sees as soon as he opens his eyes…” Kenzie answered, taking long strides towards her father’s room.

Butler Mark was inside when they entered.

“Is he awake yet?” Kenzie asked and sat on the chair while Daryl sat beside her. Kenzie was silently praying, hoping that her father would not have any permanent difficulties when he woke up.

Long minutes passed. Daryl could feel how anxious his wife was becoming, so he grabbed her hand and gently caressed it. Kenzie turned and smiled at him.

She leaned her head on his shoulder and whispered, “I haven’t asked about your first day in my office. You will have a lot on your plate soon, managing things at the office and accompanying me to family gatherings. We should also visit your father soon.”

“Nah, dad is fine. I really appreciate you getting medical help to aid him while we are not there.” Daryl commented.

He too had asked his father about it but his father had refused him. He was glad that his father could not reject Kenzie’s insistence about getting him a personal medical assistant.

The guy she had selected was really reliable and reported everything, pertaining to his father’s condition, to them and Daryl really felt assured even if he was not around.

Kenzie moved when she saw the fingers of her father’s hand move. She stood next to his bed and whispered softly, “Dad?”

She stared at his face and saw his eyelids move and slowly open up.

Daryl immediately pressed the button to call the doctors, who arrived in the room in an instant. Daryl put his hands on Kenzie’s shoulders as they watched the doctor check his father-in-law.

Kenzie’s tears were running down her eyes as she watched her father answer the doctor’s questions.

“Do you recognize her?” the doctor asked, pointing his finger towards Kenzie.

“Of course! She’s my one and only daughter. My beloved treasure…” Kenzie’s father answered in a weak tone and with a faint smile. But that smile faded and a frown replaced it as soon as his eyes fixed upon Daryl’s hands on her shoulders.

“Who are you?! How dare you put your hands on my daughter’s shoulders!” Jack shouted. The doctor immediately signaled Daryl to remove his hands from Kenzie’s shoulder.

“Don’t you recognize him?” the doctor asked.

Jack’s eyebrows snapped as he screamed, “No! Kenzie, who is that man and why is his arm around you?!”

Kenzie looked at Daryl then at the doctors before she smiled and said, “Dad, he’s your son-in-law, Daryl.”

“What?! What son-in-law? Is this some kind of a prank? Why would I let my young daughter  marry this early!” Jack exclaimed.

He looked at Butler Mark and snapped, “Do you know anything about this Mark? What is going on?!”

Kenzie looked at the doctors and her eyes asked the same questions as her father, “What is going on?”

“This is something that we had expected. So far everything in his body is healing normally and will get better over time with therapy. It seems that he is suffering from temporary amnesia and he cannot recall events after a certain time. We will keep him under observation for now and see if he improves.” The doctor explained.

Daryl talked with the doctors while Kenzie hugged her father, still sobbing.

“Oh I am so glad you are doing fine, Dad. It’s okay if you can’t remember some things as long as everything is fine with your recovery. I’m so happy,” Kenzie whispered.

“I guess something happened to me since I am here in the hospital, dear, but still how can you marry so easily!” her father scolded.

Kenzie chuckled and said, “Hmmp! You were the one pushing me to get married before, how come you forgot about it. Anyway, let’s take things one at a time. For now, you must rest and not overthink about things .”

“Alright, dear. I will relax but I’m still not done with that man! I will not let you be with just any man! I must make sure that he is worthy to be with my precious daughter,” Jack commented. Daryl, who was standing near them, gulped.

Kenzie chuckled and said, “Alright dad, make sure you recover fast so you can torture this man anytime you want.”

Jack looked intently at Daryl and said, “Not so fast young man! You will have to go through me before I let you have my daughter…”

Kenzie was smiling brightly while sniffing seeing the energetic aura of her father had returned.

“I agree. He definitely needs to get through you, Dad, so make sure you become healthy soon.”

“I will definitely do that, dear,” Jack whispered and touched his daughter’s cheek lovingly. You can tell me what happened later, dear…”

Kenzie nodded and whispered, “I will… But for now, let the doctor examine you. You should rest first. I’m here anytime you need me. I will sleep here in the hospital tonight with you, Dad.”

Her father looked at Daryl and said “I don’t want him here. Don’t tell me he will sleep here too?”

Daryl scratched his head and whispered, “But Father, I’m your son-in-law. You have asked me to give you a grandchild soon.”

Kenzie elbowed him, as her eyes widened at him in disbelief. She could not believe how shameless her husband had become, snatching the throne in shamelessness from under her!

Jack’s eyebrow raised as he mumbled, “I don’t like it and I don’t remember asking you that,  so I want you to leave now. I only need my daughter beside me! Hmph!”

Daryl looked at Kenzie helplessly, who signaled him to leave.

“I will just walk him out, Father,” Kenzie said as she stood up, but her father caught hold of her wrist.

“No, stay here. Let him walk out alone. Are you his babysitter?!”

Butler Mark was trying real hard to suppress his laughter, witnessing the awkward situation. Master Jack was back to his old self, the protective father who would not let anyone come near his precious daughter. If he was right his Master Jack could not even remember that he was sick and had a brain tumor operated on.
