The Law of Attraction

Chapter 673: In Danger

At Yang Globals Hospital

Jack was panting as he opened his eyes.

"Kenzie," he called out for his daughter and looked around.

"What wrong, Master Jack?" Butler Mark asked, seeing the sweat drops on Jack\'s forehead and his worried face.

"I had a bad dream. Kenzie is calling out my name as her reflection is fading. Can you call Kenzie now?" Jack said. He did not know why, but he was getting worried.

"But Master Jack, Daryl called when you were asleep. He said Kenzie won\'t be reachable today as he had prepared a surprise for her. He also said that he will turn off Kenzie\'s mobile phone so no one from work would disturb her."

Jack\'s face soured as he scorned, "Are we from the office, huh?"

"But Daryl said he wanted Kenzie to relax the whole day today, without worries, so no calls are allowed. He said not to worry and Kenzie and he will visit you tomorrow." Mark added.

"Where the hell did that brat take my daughter? He should at least mention the place, for me not to worry. Try calling Daryl or Cris." Jack scoffed, feeling uneasy. He did not know why but there was something bugging him and he was really worried about his daughter.

Cris was pacing inside her office when Brix entered.

"You looked so worried. What\'s going on? By the way, Kenzie is not going to report to the office?" he asked. Cris had told him about Kenzie\'s plan and he wanted to talk to his mother about it as early as dinner later today, as soon as the documents he needed were ready.

Those were the documents that his mother needed to sign, transferring all her shares and position as Vice Chairman to him. He was honestly surprised to know that Kenzie trusted him this much and he wanted to talk to Kenzie personally and assure her that he would not break her trust.

He was not confident though. He was honestly nervous to know how his mother would react to it. If his mother would refuse to sign and seal those documents then it only meant that gaining personal power and money meant more to his mother. Those were the real reasons why she was doing everything. Her assurances that she was doing it for him was just a lie, a ruse to conceal her true intention. So he was eager to find out the truth, even though he was nervous.

He looked at Cris, who had not answered him and he noticed? Cris\' face turn white, so he asked, "What\'s wrong?"

"The Chairman… Kenzie…" Cris\' voice was trembling. She could not even utter the words. Daryl had called a while ago to update her about the situation, so they would have the same alibis in case Kenzie\'s father called her as well.

"Why? What\'s wrong with Kenzie?" Brix asked. Instead of answering, Cris could not help herself and she finally broke into tears. Brix immediately ran towards her and helped her collect herself as they sat on the couch.

After calming her emotions, Cris told Brix everything that had happened.

"Oh my God! I hope Daryl rescues her soon. So all we can do right now is pray for their safety and wait. How about Uncle? Did he know?"

Cris\' shoulders dropped because Brix did not know anything about Master Jack\'s surgery but Kenzie had already given her a signal to tell Brix. Kenzie trusted Brix even though she did not know that Brix stood by her side, against his mother.

Cris exhaled loudly before she began telling Brix about Master Jack\'s condition.

"Oh my God! Uncle. I understand why Kenzie kept it a secret and she did the right thing. Oh God! Thank God, Uncle had a successful surgery!" Brix uttered as he tried to calmly process everything Cris had just told him.

Both of them stayed quiet for a while.

"What if…?" Cris broke the silence. What alibi would they use if the rescue operation isn\'t finished today?

"Don\'t worry. Let\'s hope everything turns out well," Brix whispered. Both of them were startled when they heard a knock on Cris\'s door.

"Come in," Cris answered. The door opened and? Sarah entered the room.

"I have prepared everything…" Sarah said, handing the documents over to Brix.

"I\'m sorry about this. Madame would surely say the same," Cris whispered. Sarah and Kyle were scheduled for a honeymoon trip abroad after their wedding but the two had to delay it since Kyle had to handle Daryl\'s case against his stepmother in court alongside Liam.

"It\'s alright. What matters now is fixing everything so Kenzie and Daryl can finally have peace of mind. I\'m just worried about Uncle Jack. I\'m not sure if it\'s a good idea to keep such important information from him but then I guess that it was the best option given Senior Chua\'s condition."

"Is there any update?" Cris commented.

Sarah nodded and informed Cris that Karen had just been released and handed over to the military.

"You mean they will still proceed with the exchange? But Daryl\'s stepmother can be dangerous. She tried to kill Daryl\'s father and there\'s a high possibility that she will stop at nothing. We know how she has even hired men to abduct Kenzie," Cris muttered weakly.

Brix felt bad for Kenzie who already had a lot on her plate, handling the Chua family matters, and here she was, a victim in her husband\'s family matters.

"I only hope my cousin is safe," he whispered, feeling bad that his mother was an additional headache for his cousin and uncle. But then he admired his cousin\'s strength and knowing Kenzie\'s fighting spirit, he could tell that his cousin could handle it all well.

The three were startled by the sudden ringing of Cris\'s mobile phone. She bit her lip and looked at Sarah and Brix as she whispered, "It\'s Master Jack…"

She breathed loudly before answering the call. Sarah went out but Brix stayed. He wanted an update and if possible he also wanted to help. He wondered what he could do to make sure Kenzie would come back home safe.

As soon as the call ended, Brix looked at Cris and said, "How about I visit Uncle Jack and keep him entertained for now? I will stay with him."

"Yes, please do that. I feel that Master Jack sounded worried. I guess it\'s true that one could feel it if the person they love is in danger." Cris whispered weakly.
