Chapter 679: A New Light

Harry lost a lot of blood but he was fortunate enough that the bullet did not hit any of his vital organs. The doctor removed all the bullets and he had a blood transfusion to make up for his loss of blood.

He was soon transferred to the VIP room and Daryl's father, together with Meng accompanied him.

"Father, I am sorry," Harry finally managed to utter words after hours of spacing out in a particular direction. He already heard what happened to his mother and knew that she only received retribution which she deserved for what she had done.

He was honestly surprised that he did not meet his doom yet. Surprised that he was still alive because he had already prepared himself for his death a while ago.

"Harry, my son, don't think about anything else right now. What matters is that you are alive. Focus on recovering and get well soon," Harry heard Marcus whisper these words to him and he could no longer stop himself from crying.

How could he still be so good to him when his own mother tried to kill him? Was the old man really blinded by his love for his murderer?

He felt a gentle stroke on his head as his stepfather pulled her for a hug.

"You are not my son by blood Harry but in my heart, you were always my son. Take this opportunity, this second chance God has gifted you, and live your life properly. There is a reason why He kept you alive son, so I hope you focus on your future and not dwell in the past anymore," Marcus whispered. He was hoping Harry and Daryl could work things out together and live happily as brothers.

Marcus knew Harry loved him and would not do anything to harm him. Daryl already told him everything that had happened. Harry was not part of any plans that Karen had devised. But Harry was still an accomplice in abducting Kenzie.

"I have wronged Kenzie and I'm willing to face my punishment, father. I will not run and pay for all my sins. How are Kenzie and Daryl? I hope they are both fine. I'm now ready to talk to the police." Harry said without a pause.

"Alright, take some rest first. Let's just wait for the police to come back. And don't worry, Daryl and Kenzie are both fine." Marcus reassured him.

"How about their baby?" Harry added.

"Baby? Kenzie is pregnant?!" Marcus asked with a frown. Harry simply nodded, thinking that the couple probably didn't tell the elders yet about it.

"Oh my God!" Marcus exclaimed and then looked at Meng and said, "Stay here and look after Harry. I will just go to Kenzie's room and visit her."

"Son, I will be quick and just check on Kenzie. Her room is on this floor too."

Harry nodded and smiled as he watched his stepfather going out in a hurry.

"He's too excited to be a grandfather," he unconsciously whispered.

"Yeah but it's not only Daryl. He also wishes to see you creating a good family and give him many grandchildren. He would often tell me that he wants you and Daryl to have a good relationship and stay with him like real brothers," Meng commented with a smile.

"I'm sorry Meng... I know I was not that nice to you," Harry said, feeling embarrassed. Looking back, Harry knew he did not deserve any nice treatment he was having at that moment and he wished he could turn back the time.

"It's not too late for you to change Sir. Just like what Master Marcus said, bury the past and begin your future in a new light," Meng voiced out her opinion with a reassuring smile.

Meng witnessed how both Daryl and Harry grew together. It was honestly Karen's fault as a mother who brainwashed her son into hating Daryl. But then the woman already met her doom in a horrible way, killing herself thinking her son had died when he miraculously survived.

Meanwhile, at Kenzie's room, the couple were surprised when Marcus barged inside and hugged Kenzie tightly.

"Oh God, how can I face your father now? Good thing that both you and the baby are safe," Marcus whispered. He felt ashamed that Kenzie had to go through so much because of their family matters.

Kenzie looked at Daryl who answered her with a shrug.

"How did you find out father?" Daryl asked.

"Harry told me. He's better now and he said he is ready to talk to the police." Marcus commented before he moved to hug his son next, "Congratulations son. I am so happy for you and Kenzie. Ah, I'm glad that all of you are safe and here with me..."

Marcus looked at Kenzie and asked, "When are you planning to tell Jack? I'm sure he will be happy. By the way, do you think it's okay to visit him now? I mean he might not remember me but I think it will be better if I visit him as Daryl's father?"

"Yes father it's okay but let's do one thing at a time. It's already late and you need to get some rest. Why don't you and Meng go home first? You can visit us tomorrow and let's decide when is the best time for you to visit Kenzie's father together," Daryl said with a smile.

"But what about Harry? I can't leave him alone in this state, son. Someone has to look after him," Marcus said in a low tone. He was afraid that Harry might do something to himself just like what his mother did.

"But you need to look after yourself too, dad! Instead of thinking about someone who almost put you in danger, think about yourself! So go home and Meng must stay with you!" Daryl declared. He was a bit annoyed, hearing the concern in his father's tone when he almost lost Kenzie because of Harry and Karen!

"I will ask Kimmy to check on Harry," Kenzie immediately offered, noticing the tone of her husband.

"I think it's better if someone unrelated to us looks after Harry for now. Kimmy will take care of him, father so don't worry," Kenzie reassured and her father-in-law agreed instantly.
