The Law of Attraction - Chapter 677

Kenzie saw Daryl rushing towards her and her heart skipped a beat. The leader abruptly pushed her to grab the gun near him after seeing Daryl approaching him. He had failed to notice the gun in Daryl’s hand.

Daryl intentionally hid it so that the man would not use Kenzie’s body as his shield.

Kenzie on the other hand felt a pain in her back as she slumped on the floor. Her eyes widened in fear seeing the leader grab the gun near him and point it towards Daryl’s direction.

“No!!!” she shouted at the top of her lungs. She tried to get up but couldn’t as her knees felt very weak. She closed her eyes, afraid to witness Daryl getting shot.

*Bang *Bang *Bang *Bang

Daryl shot the man continuously before the leader could press the trigger, making sure that the man would die on the spot. After confirming his death, he immediately ran towards Kenzie.

“Oh my God!! Baby, I’m so sorry…” Daryl apologized several times, sobbing, as he kissed Kenzie on her hair.

“Are you alright Kenzie? It’s me, baby,” Daryl said, seeing Kenzie sob and not open her eyes.

“Kenzie, baby. It’s all over. Please open your eyes. It’s me, Daryl,” he whispered lovingly. Kenzie opened her eyes and clung to Daryl tightly after seeing his face. “You’re not hit?” she whispered sobbing.

“No baby, I’m fine. I killed him before he could hurt me.” Daryl reassured, gently stroking Kenzie’s back.

“No!!!! Harry!!!” a loud scream suddenly roared inside and it was Karen rushing inside to her son. She was still handcuffed.

“Oh God, please hang in there Harry!! I’m sorry son. This is all my fault,” Karen cried.

“Help!! Somebody please help my son! We need a doctor here!” Karen shouted as she kept on sobbing.

“Mom, let’s stop this, please. You know I love father Marcus as much as I love you but still you tried to hurt him. Don’t blame Daryl for what is happening to us. We did it to ourselves and not him. We both know that he is the victim here mom. All I want is to live a peaceful life with you but I guess it won’t happen now mom,” Harry whispered sadly with a smile.

“Oh my God. No son! Don’t you dare close my eyes! No!!!” Karen hysterically screamed when Harry closed his eyes.

“Please son!! Wake up! I can’t live without you!! You are my life. I’ll listen to you so please wake up!! Nooo please nooo!”

The next thing that happened terrified Kenzie. She saw Karen grab the gun and without much thought Daryl immediately covered Kenzie with his body to protect her.

*Bang!

Another loud bang of gunshot echoed inside the room. Kenzie did not know what happened next but felt dizzy and lost consciousness in Daryl’s arms.

Meanwhile, at Yang Globals hospital, Jack was happy to see Brix who enthusiastically asked him to play his favorite board game chess.

“You and Cris arrived together. Are you two dating?” Jack bluntly asked, making Brix cough.

“It’s just a yes or no question so why are you coughing? Don’t worry I will take your side even if your mother is against it. So tell me, is my hunch right?”

Brix had a timid smile as he answered, “Yes uncle. We are going out.”

“Brix, you see, Cris is like my own daughter. I have never differentiated between her and Kenzie. So I hope that you’re serious about it and not play with her heart. I witnessed how she grew and worked hard just to help me out and reach where she is right now.” Jack said with a serious tone, making Brix chuckle.

“Ah Uncle, you’re hurting my feelings now. Why do you make it sound like I’m a bad guy? Uncle Jack, I don’t have a bad reputation with women. I don’t even have time to court them and you know that!” Brix defended.

“Well, I’m just saying that Cris is someone you should be serious about,” Jack whispered after seeing Cris approaching them.

“Here, have some snacks,” Cris said while carrying a platter of cut fruits.

“By the way did you manage to contact Daryl and Kenzie? Those brats! Especially that daughter of mine. How could she not even bother to call me?” Jack mumbled a bit disappointed because knowing his daughter, she would surely brag about her surprise escapade with her husband.

“Uncle, Kenzie is a grown-up woman now, so let her be. I’m sure those too are busy smooching and enjoying their honeymoon. Those two were deprived of their honeymoon as Kenzie is very busy both looking after you and the company. Imagine how much longing they have for each other.”

Brix was about to say more but Jack already stopped him and beamed, “Alright fine! Stop it already! You make it sound like I’m an antagonist for their honeymoon.”

Brix and Cris laughed out loud while Jack looked like a kid who was bullied, with him pouting his lips.

“Anyway, Brix said you and him are serious so I will congratulate the both of you. Cris, you know you can always talk to me if Brix is being unfair to you. I will make him suffer on your behalf, you just need to say the words okay?” Jack said with a serious note, making Brix gulp. His Uncle indeed loved Cris like his own daughter.

“Noted Master Jack, I will,” Cris answered timidly. Her face was red with embarrassment.

Jack shifted his gaze back to Brix and asked, “By the way, why is your mother not visiting me?”

“Oh, you know how she is, Uncle Jack. She’s very busy and she’s out of the country for an important meeting right now,” Brix answered with a smile.

“Yeah you and your mother are both workaholics,” Jack mumbled.

“As if you’re not Uncle. Haha,” Brix replied back with a chuckle.

“This brat,” Jack scoffed.

Cris, who was enjoying the banter of Brix and Master Jack, felt the vibration of her mobile phone in her pocket so she immediately excused herself and went out to answer the call.

Seeing it was Sarah she picked up the call. Her face paled as Sarah relayed the update on the rescue operation.

“Oh God,” she breathed. She looked at the door of the VIP room where Kenzie’s father was and then rushed suddenly into the hallway. The rescue operation was a success but the team had to rush towards the nearest hospital which was Yang Globals. Apparently there were casualties who were in need of immediate treatment.
