The Law of Attraction

Chapter 678: Safe

Kenzie slowly opened her eyes. She was feeling weak and a bit dizzy. But it was nothing before the loud drumming of her heart. She did not remember what exactly happened before it all went blank, but she was worried something bad might have happened to Daryl.

Has Daryl been shot? She saw Karen grab the gun and then the last thing she remembered was Daryl hugging her tightly and whispering 'I love you.'

"Oh my God, you're finally awake!" Cris gasped and started to rise to get the doctor but Kenzie grabbed her wrist.

Kenzie was teary-eyed as she whispered weakly, "Daryl? Where is Daryl?"

She saw Cris smile. Kenzie started to sob, feeling relieved as those smiles indicated that nothing bad had happened to Daryl.

"Where is he?" she whispered.

"He is talking to the police right now but he will be back soon. You are both safe. You just passed out because you're exhausted and…" Cris paused mid-sentence.

"And what?" Kenzie asked worriedly.

Cris held Kenzie's hand and said, "Don't worry, it's good news, Kenzie. You are pregnant! Congratulations."

Kenzie bit her lip. So it was true, the fake alibi turned out to be real. She was indeed pregnant and her stomach was churning because of morning sickness.

"Daryl knows?" she gasped, feeling excited despite the anxiety she felt a while ago.

"Of course, and he's so happy that he kept showering you with kisses even when you were unconscious. He didn't want to leave your side at all, but the police needed his statement so he left me to take care of you," Cris explained with a wide smile.

Both women glanced towards the door as Daryl rushed to her side when he saw Kenzie was awake.

"I'll call the doctor," Cris said, leaving the couple alone in the room.

"Oh Baby, how are you feeling? Does it hurt anywhere?" Daryl asked while kissing her hand.

"Just a little dizzy and tired but nothing alarming. Cris told me that I'm pregnant... Your

fake information for Harry turned real," Kenzie jested.

"Oh, wait… Harry saved me. What happened to Harry? Also, I saw Karen grabbing the gun. Did she shoot at us?" Kenzie asked in a rush.

Daryl shook his head, and said, "Karen grabbed the gun but not to shoot us, Kenzie. That's what I had thought too so I had tried to cover you, as it was already too late to get the gun from her. But apparently, she had grabbed the gun to shoot herself."

"What?!" Kenzie burst out in shock.

"Yes, she probably thought that Harry had died. She loved her son so much and probably thought that there was no reason for her to live if Harry was dead." Daryl stated his opinion. He too could not believe what had happened. He had covered Kenzie's body and had closed his eyes, waiting for the shot to hit him.

After the loud bang, he had felt nothing. When he had looked in Karen's direction, she was lying beside Harry, bathed in her own blood. That was when Kenzie had lost consciousness.

With her palm covering her mouth, Kenzie breathed, "Oh my God!!"

"But the irony of it is that Harry is not dead. He's alive. He had only lost consciousness as he had lost a large amount of blood. He's stable now and Father is with him. Harry has been out of himself up till now, knowing his mother took her own life," Daryl explained. He leaned forward and hugged his wife lovingly.

"I'm really sorry, Kenzie. You had to go through all of this because of me. I'm really sorry, Baby," Daryl whispered while kissing her hair.

"Stop saying that, Darling. What matters now is that both of us are safe. Can you please give me your mobile phone and let me call Dad first. I don't want him to get worried," Kenzie whispered. Her father was not used to her not talking to him or asking about him regularly, even if through calls.

"Oh right," Daryl said and quickly grabbed his mobile phone to call his father-in-law.

"You brat! Is it that hard to let me talk to my daughter, huh?" Daryl heard his father-in-law hiss.

He laughed and said, "Father, Kenzie went to sleep right after the tiring exercise and I felt bad waking her so I just waited for her to wake up on her own. You can talk to her now. She's awake and right beside me," Daryl said with a chuckle as he passed the mobile phone to Kenzie who lifted her eyebrows at him.

"Hello, Dad. Did you really miss me that much? Geez, it's not even been 24 hours since we last talked. By the way, I have some good news for you, which I will tell you when we meet. Anyway, I was so tired that I could not call to talk to you before and could only now check on you. Daryl and I will see you soon, okay. Sleep well now, it's late. I love you, Dad." Kenzie said with a chuckle and soon ended the call.

"He will be so glad when he hears the news about becoming a grandfather soon," Kenzie whispered. She could not wait to see her father's reaction once they told him the good news.

"You too are at Yang Globals. Father is just a floor away from you, but for now, you must rest well Baby. Let's leave once the doctor confirms that you're good to go."

Meanwhile, Cris came to Master Jack's room as soon as she had relayed to Kenzie's doctor that she was now conscious.

"What took you so long?" Jack asked.

Cris smiled and said, "Work, Sir."

"Ahh, I feel bad that you are buried deep in your work, especially now that Kenzie and I are slacking. Anyway, it's already late so you should go home."

Jack looked at Brix and said, "Go and drop Cris home. No monkey business, okay?"

Brix laughed as Cris' face reddened.

"Alright, we will leave now, Uncle Jack."

Brix held Cris' hand as they walked out of the room.

"What happened?" he asked. He was hoping to hear good news from Cris seeing she had a smile on her face when she entered the room a while ago.

"Kenzie and Daryl are safe. I will tell you everything while we enjoy a cup of coffee in my apartment," Cris whispered with a wink.

"Aren't you scared that I might engage in some monkey business?? Well, you shouldn't? since I am responsible for you Cris." Brix said with a naughty smile.
