Lana and Liam went with Kyle to the hospital to make sure his wound was properly taken care of.

“Thank you,” Lana whispered with watery eyes as she sat on a chair beside the bed where Kyle was seated.

“I’m really sorry about everything Lana. I only hoped to do what is right and help you out along the way but the situation…”

“Shhh, I understand everything Kyle so please stop apologizing. You’ve been saying ‘sorry’ several times already. What is important is that in the end you let justice prevail and you still chose to walk in the right path,” Lana commended as she held Kyle’s hand and gently squeezed it.

Seeing that, Liam standing at Lana’s back suddenly coughed and whispered, “Love, the nurse is still dressing his wounded arm.”

Kyle, who understood Liam’s possessiveness, reddened and gently pulled his hand away from Lana.

“We are really grateful for your help Kyle and you have earned my utmost respect. I’m sure everyone who witnessed what happened today would have to respect you. What you did is something uncommon but very praiseworthy,” Liam genuinely stated.

“Ohhhhh! Here he is!!!! My son-in-law!!!”, the loud praise of a woman entering the emergency room caught the attention of everyone inside.

Liam, who knew the woman, uttered, “Mrs. Jung?”

“Oh, Liam you’re also here…” Mrs. Jung commented before her eyes shifted on the approaching doctor and asked, “How’s our hero of the day doc? Please take good care of my son-in-law…”

The trial was broadcasted live so everyone witnessed everything that happened including how the lawyer of Bill Grey in the end stood up and decided to do what was right. Mrs. Jung was even cheering watching Kyle on the television and was totally shocked to see him getting hurt after blocking the gunshot.

Meanwhile, Lana, although confused, could not help the teasing grin she had on her face when she shot a look towards Kyle who was too red in embarrassment.

Liam patted Lana’s shoulder and gave her a gesture that they should leave so Lana said, “We will leave now so you can rest better Kyle. I see that you will have someone to take care of you now…”

Mrs. Jung who heard that finally noticed Lana and commented, “Oh, so rude of me. You’re Mrs. Huang’s daughter, aren’t you? I’m Dinah Jung… I’ve met your mother occasionally at parties. I’m glad that you finally got the justice she deserved. She’s a kindhearted woman from what I heard who always supports orphanages.”

Lana accepted the handshake.

Liam interrupted and with a timid smile informed, “She’s actually my wife Mrs. Jung…”

“Oh… congratulations. You two are both lawyers… Oh, I’m so glad that my daughter Sarah also found a good lawyer like you Kyle…” Mrs. Jung commented while her shining eyes fixed on Kyle.

“Sarah?” Lana murmured.

Liam gave her an awkward smile and said, “Yeah, she’s Sarah’s mother.”

“You see I scolded that daughter of mine because I heard she transferred into another firm when she was doing well in your firm which is the best.” Mrs. Jung commented.

“Oh, I actually referred her to Yao firm. We will soon have a joint venture together so it doesn’t matter whether she is at Sy or Yao firm since the two companies will become one soon,” Liam explained.

Then he added, “I think Lana and I should take our leave first.”

“Oh right, I’m sure you two are already exhausted. Go home and rest. I will take care of my son-in-law here…” Mrs. Jung cheerfully commented.

Lana wanted to laugh at the conflicted look on Kyle as if he was asking for help.

Liam already pulled her and told Kyle, “We will come back to visit.”

Kyle gulped while helplessly watching Liam and Lana leave.

“Tell me son what do you want? Do you want something to eat? Your room in the VIP section is ready. I asked Abram to prepare everything so you can settle there as soon as the doctor gives permission for shifting your room…” Mrs. Jung commented.

Kyle was speechless. He had been speechless ever since he was caught by Mrs. Jung in the awkward moment where he tried his best to fit under the bed but he could not.

Sarah reasoned out that they were only friends but none of them believed her and ever since that day Mrs. Jung has been calling him son-in-law which he did not dare correct.

“Mom!”

Both Kyle and Mrs. Jung looked at the woman who suddenly yelled out of nowhere.

“Why are you here? You’re making Kyle uncomfortable!” Sarah scolded.

“This brat! How dare you yell at your mother!” Mrs. Jung scolded back, making Sarah pout while she murmured, “I’m sorry… But mom, please stop doing this. I told you Kyle and I are just friends.”

Mrs. Huang’s eyebrows lifted up as she beamed, “You can’t fool us, Sarah.” She knew her daughter well. The brat wanted a private and independent life before so she was doing the same again now, thinking how they could be clingy. Well, they were all guilty but how could Sarah blame them?

She herself could not help but feel excited knowing Sarah, her only daughter, finally had a man, after so many years! Sarah was already twenty-eight and they never heard her getting involved in a relationship. They started worrying that she would end up being an old maid just like Mrs. Jung’s two sisters whom Sarah looked up to since she was a child.

“Mom, please… I will take care of Kyle from here…” Sarah commented, feeling embarrassed in front of Kyle.

The nurse soon arrived with Abram and informed them, “We can now transfer him to his room.”

Soon a nursing aide came with a wheelchair to transfer him to his room.

“Mom please…” Sare begged then looked at Abram and signaled her twin to take their mom away.

Abram shook his head and with a grin commented, “Mom, let Kyle rest for now. The man has experienced enough trauma for today. I’m sure Sarah will take good care of him. We can just visit tomorrow…”

Sarah rolled her eyes at her twin’s last words…

Mrs. Jung looked at Kyle and gently patted his shoulder as she said, “We will visit you, tomorrow son. We are all so proud of what you did so get well soon so that we can all hang-out together more often.”

Kyle gulped and he could only say, “Thank you, madam! I’ll get better in no time! Please don’t worry.”

“Ouch!” he cried when Mrs. Jung hit him and said, “I told you to call me mom already…”

“Mom!” Sarah yelped.

“What? I prefer him calling me mom more than madam…” Mrs. Jung declared with a grin and winked at Kyle who could only gulp as he smiled back.

Sarah was too embarrassed that she herself pulled her mother and twin away before they made another awkward scene in front of Kyle. She no longer knew how to face Kyle because of her family’s stubbornness!
