After discussing finishing their coffee, Frank and Luke returned to the private room where the ladies were waiting. "Are we leaving now?" Luke asked his wife, Rhea, who was standing and chatting with Rosa.Rhea nodded her head, and Rosa added, "Let's give the couple some space. They need time to recover.""Okay then," Luke replied,before turning to Kent and said coldly. "Make sure to take care of her properly. If not, you're dead."Kent was taken aback by his father's seriousness, so he stared at his mother for help, but she ignored him.After ignoring him, she quickly chimed in and said, "Your father is right, Kent. If I see she's not properly taken care of, I won't hesitate to shoot you myself."Kent's eyes widened in shock. "Mom, come on! Am I still your son?" He asked.Rhea shrugged her shoulders and said mercilessly. "Of course, darling, but I won't hesitate to disown you if you misbehave. You need to take proper care of her."Luke immediately added, "We can even adopt August a
After spending some quality time talking to his wife, Kent decided it was time to freshen up. He glanced down at the suit he was wearing, and let out a deep sigh, the weakness he was feeling was evident on his body.Knowing his bodyguards were stationed outside the private ward, he opened the door."Good day, boss," chimed in unison, bowing their heads to greet.theyKent nodded his head curtly and said, "Get me some comfortable clothes to change into," he instructed, handing his card to one of the bodyguards, who accepted it with a nod and a respectful smile."Okay, sir," the bodyguard replied, turning to hurry off. "I'll be right back with something suitable.""Be quick about it," Kent added, his tone firm. With that, he closed the door.Meanwhile, the bodyguard rushed out to a nearby boutique. He knew his boss would be better with a loose outfit, so he quickly selected a nice pair of pants and blouse for him.Kent walked to the bathroom and brought out a plush bathrobe, he then re
The next day, Kent woke up to the sound of the door opening, and the doctor's gentle voice filled the room. "Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Ken." He said, but his eyes widened in surprise as he stared at Kent who was sleeping close to his wife, with his arms wrapped protectively around her.Despite his fear of Kent's, the doctor couldn't help but reprimand him. "Your wife needs rest, Mr. Kent. What if you accidentally injure her?" He said and gestured to the nurse, who placed the tray of injections on the table.Kent stood up from the bed, and scratched his head. He knew the doctor was right, and he didn't want to look overbearing, so he stepped aside . August, who was still sleepy, opened her eyes and looked at the doctor. Her voice was hoarse from sleeping, so she pursed her lips and said . "Doctor, no need to reprimand him. I was missing my husband's cuddles, that's why I requested it."Kent grinned at his wife's words.Meanwhile ,The nurse giggled at August's childish tone. She h
Kent stood up and took the food before sitting on the bed with August. He opened the bag and brought out his breakfast, which consisted of freshly baked muffins, fluffy scrambled eggs, and a glass of freshly squeezed juice. The aroma wafted up, making August's stomach growl with hunger.When August saw the food, she grinned and stretched out her hands to take the meal from Kent, but he laughed and said, "Babe, this is not yours, but mine." He teased her, holding the food just out of her reach.August pouted her lips when she heard that. "Mine must be delicious then," she said, and licked her lips in anticipation while staring at the paper bag containing her own meal. She tried to grab the bag from Kent, but he playfully held it away.But when Kent finally brought out her food, she frowned her face and stared at him in disappointment. "What's this?" she asked, her tone hinting at her discontent. Her meal consisted of plain porridge and milk, a sharp difference to Kent's hearty breakfa
"Speak," Kent said, his voice firm, as they sat down in the private room provided by the doctor."We've already gotten the informant this morning," Anthony said, referring to Franco's capture. "We can fish out some information from him."Kevin nodded his head in agreement. "Do you think it might be him?" Eric asked, his brow furrowed Kent scoffed, his expression serious. "Who else do you think is after the Ken family except him?" he asked, his tone laced with sarcasm.“He has been trying to take us down for years. It's no surprise he's behind this." Anthony said"What about the rest of the culprits?" Kent asked, his eyes raging with fire."They're in the basement, except Alfred," Fred replied. "He's waiting for your judgment."Kent's smirk grew wider as he heard that. Now that his wife was awake and safe, he couldn't wait to unleash his wrath on Alfred."We need to be fast with the interrogation," Kent said, his brow furrowed with concern. "I don't want any of us to be hurt again."F
After chatting in the hospital for a while, Lisa stood up to leave. "I'm heading to the office to take care of some things, okay?" she said, while gathering her belongings.The guys also had their own tasks to attend to, so it was decided that Jenny would stay with August, as she was less busy. "Okay, babes," August said, smiling gratefully at her friends. "Thanks for coming". She said to them."If you need anything, just call me, okay?" Kent said softly to August, as his eyes were filled with concern."How long will you take?" August asked, pouting her lips. She didn't want him to leave."Are you missing your hubby already?" Anita asked in a teasing voice while smiling mischievously.August smiled sweetly at her and said. "Yes, I'm already missing him." She just couldn't help it.Jenny rolled her eyes and said to her friend. "So shameless."Kent chuckled and said . "Don't worry, babe, I won't be out for too long. I'll be done soon and get back to you." He squeezed her hand and assu
In the other room, Franco stared at the guys in horror, his eyes wide with fear. He was being tortured by Jack, who was no less skilled than John. Jack's expertise in torture was top-notch, which was why he was made the head of the bodyguards. Franco's body was already battered and bruised, he was already screaming in agony."Please spare me, I was just taking orders from the big boss," Franco begged, his voice barely above a whisper. He could hardly speak, but he had to try and stop the pain. His eyes pleaded with them to show mercy, but they just stared back at him with cold, hard faces."I need names," Anthony said coldly, his eyes cold. "Who was behind the plot to take down the Ken family?" He asked him.Franco gulped his saliva in fear, afraid to mention the big boss's name. But he had no choice. He was still contemplating when he felt a hot object on his body, making him scream like a pig being slaughtered. The smell of burning flesh filled the air."Any further delay means do
"How is Franco?" Kent suddenly asked,"He's still in the room," Anthony responded, "but I don't know for how long. He's pretty beaten up.""Very good, we will be needing him," Kent smirked and said, his eyes gleaming with a plan."What do you intend to do with him?" Eric asked curiously ."What is the best way to catch someone?" Kent smirked and asked Eric, who chuckled and said, "using the person close to him.""Woah, nice one, man," Fred said, impressed."But Franco is not close enough with Victor," Anthony said after much thought, his brow furrowed in concern."He doesn't need to be close to get to him," Kent chuckled, a sly grin spreading across his face. "We can use this to our advantage."Kent's eyes locked onto Jack, and he said, "Do something for me, Jack. I want you to ask Franco if he had called Victor's assistant to tell him about the accident.""Ok, sir”. Jack said and bowed before leaving the office to carry out the task.Shortly after, Jack returned, and said. "No, sir,
