Kenzie was in a hurry to finish her work and go back home to the Cha Mansion because she was worried both for Daryl and her father-in-law. She just attended the important meeting and finished signing the documents that were urgent.

“I will leave now. Tell Cris that all documents are on my table. She knows what to do with it,” she told her secretary and rushed to the parking lot where her driver was already waiting.

She dialed Daryl’s number and found out that he was already home with her father-in-law.

“How is it?” she asked on the mobile phone.

“It’s going on smoothly according to plan. Karen has no way to escape now. Harris doesn’t have any idea about it… But I can’t let him stay here Kenzie,” Daryl whispered weakly.

“Hmm, it’s alright darling. You did nothing wrong. I’m done with work and I will be with you soon,” Kenzie informed.

“I love you,” Daryl whispered, bringing a wonderful smile on her lips.

“I love you more… See you soon love,” Kenzie said before cutting the call. But soon her mobile phone rang and she frowned after seeing the caller’s name.

It was Harry.

She answered it with a creased forehead.

“Hello, Kenzie. I’m sorry for calling you like this but can we please meet and talk?” He sounded desperate and was almost begging her. He said he wanted to talk about something important to Kenzie.

“I don’t think it’s a good idea, Harry. I think it’s better if you talk to Daryl about it and not me,” she answered.

“Please Kenzie!! I’m begging you to see me just this once. I’m at the cafe near the detention center where they brought my mother. I will wait for you here.”

He cut the call before Kenzie could reply. She bit her lip, feeling conflicted. She called Daryl but he did not answer so she left him a message instead informing him that she would be meeting Harry at the cafe he mentioned.

Meanwhile, Daryl left his mobile phone inside the room after his call with Kenzie and rushed to his father’s room because he heard Meng shouting hysterically that his father was having a hard time breathing.

The doctor arrived quickly and asked the nurse about Marcus’s condition.

After checking him properly, they put him on an IV drip and some medication. He was now asleep and in stable condition.

The doctor looked at Daryl and said, “It’s nothing serious. He just had an anxiety attack. It’s normal given what he is facing right now. I will recommend you take him to a psychiatrist for counseling to help him cope with everything. It will also help you in learning about how to approach your father’s condition…”

Daryl nodded and thanked the doctor. He heaved a sigh and informed Meng to contact the psychiatrist to help his father with counseling. His father loved Karen for so many years so this was expected to happen. His father was struggling to fight his own emotions and the pain it was causing him.

He sat beside his father and held his hand as he whispered, “You will get through this father. Kenzie and I will stay by your side. You might have lost them but you have us now…”

He pitied his father but he knew that this was the consequence of the wrong choices he made. He was just glad that his father was now willing to rectify everything and not remain blinded by love.

Meanwhile, Kenzie arrived at the place where Harry was. He was already sitting at a table, waiting for her. Kenzie sat opposite him.

Harry’s eyes were red and she could tell, just by his expression, how hurt he was.

“Kenzie, I beg you. Can you please ask Daryl to have my mother released? I promise that we will not show our faces to you again. Please I beg you to convince Daryl. I swear we will leave the country and never come back.” Harry pleaded, teary-eyed.

Kenzie heaved a sigh. Harry looked very desperate. She saw him trembling. It was probably because of his fear of losing his mother.

Another loud exhale came out to her as she said, “You are really talking to the wrong person Harris. I hope this will be the last time we see each other. I really can’t help you because it’s my husband’s decision. Your mother tried to kill his father Harry… What do you expect him to do?

Don’t you think that you are being too unfair to Daryl? He chose to leave everything… all his rights just to have a peaceful life. He let you all live peacefully as a family even if he yearned for his own father. He let his father be with the woman he loved but what did your mother do?

I really don’t understand your mother. After all, my father-in-law showed both you and your mother nothing but pure love and generosity. He chose you and your mother over his own son! And yet in the end…”

Another sigh came from Kenzie. She was toning down her words as much as possible after seeing the condition Harry was in but was failing.

She could not help but add, “Again, this is not my call Harry. And even if I did have a say on this, do you really think I will plead for your side? Definitely NO. If I were in Daryl’s position I would not let things slide so easily.

My husband is already generous enough by not stripping your rights Harry. He asked you to leave the house and his father alone, but he is still acknowledging your work in the company. If I was him, I would kick you out and strip you of everything you and your mother stole…”

After saying these words, Kenzie stood up. She knew she had to leave the place immediately because she could no longer control her mouth and would end up saying more hurtful words on behalf of her husband.

She turned around and was about to leave already when she heard Harry’s loud laugh like a maniac.

“I really tried to talk it out with you and Daryl but both of you are really stubborn. You leave me with no choice but to resort to this…”
