Chapter 568: Deeply Touched
[Note: Unwritten scene -- part of Chapters 529 and 530]
At Jung Residence...
A loud squeal resounded in the corners of the living room.
"That's our son-in-law!!!"
"Dinah…" Senior Jung scolded, signaling his wife to lower her tone because the trial they were watching live on the television was still ongoing.
"Still he hesitated…" Abram interrupted while he continued biting the apple in his hand. He could tell that Kyle decided at the last minute.
"It doesn't matter because he did the right thing in the end. That poor child, it must have been hard for him to go against his father," Dinah uttered with a sigh. She could understand Kyle's situation but she really admired the man especially since Kyle chose to do what was right in the end.
"This kind of man deserves our daughter Levi," she told her husband who was sitting beside her, watching the trial intently.
"He needs to put more effort and prove himself, Mom, so don't fall for that guy easily. I and dad will have to test him big time to make sure that he really deserves Sarah," Abram said.
"Shhh. The judge is giving the verdict now," he heard his father say so he pursed his lips and started scrolling on his mobile phone instead, while he listened at the verdict of the judge.
"Hah! Those murderers deserve the punishment," Abram commented when he overheard the verdict while he was still looking at his phone. But he suddenly heard a loud scream which made him almost jump off his seat.
"Ahhh!" Dinah screamed as she watched Kyle lying on the floor. Her eyes went wide while she covered her mouth with her palm.
"That woman shot our son-in-law!" she burst in shock.
Abram looked up from his phone and saw the screen of their television. He too was horrified at how bloody the courtroom turned out. The cameraman spared no details in capturing the shooting.
"F*ck!!" he cursed and felt his mother's hand on his wrist almost dragging him…
"Come here and drive me to the hospital where they took Kyle," he heard his mother instructed. He scratched his head while he made some calls to ask which hospital they were taking Kyle who got hurt from the shoot-out.
"What's wrong with him? Why would he use his body to shield that woman?" Abram could not help but comment as he walked to the parking lot along with his mother.
"Ouch!" he cried when his mother hit him hard on his back.
"You inconsiderate brat. Kyle risked his life to do something right and here you are questioning why he saved someone? He is a hero, no questions asked!! Stop talking nonsense and just focus on driving me to the hospital where he is admitted," his mother scolded.
Abram sighed and remained quiet. Kyle has obviously already won his mother's heart but not his and his father's who maintained a blank expression as always. It meant that he was still unsure about Kyle for Sarah.
Well, he was impressed but he could smell something fishy about how Kyle did not care about his life just to protect that woman and he would go to the bottom of it. Sarah's man must be dedicated and loyal to his twin sister alone.
They soon arrived at the hospital where he was. "You go take care of Kyle's accommodation. Book a VIP room for him. I will directly go to the emergency room to see him."
Shaking his head, Abram stared in disbelief as he watched his mother who rushed to the emergency room as if she was looking for her own son. "Kyle is not even her son-in-law yet but look at how much care she's showing" he murmured as his mouth twitched.
He grabbed his phone and left a message to Sarah. He smirked, imagining the flaring nose of his twin sister while reading his text message.
[We are now in the hospital where Kyle was brought. Mom is very busy taking care of him, calling him son-in-law and the hero of the day. I bet she will stay next to Kyle while he's in the hospital]
Sarah immediately took off from her office and ran to her car upon reading Abram's message. Her face crumpled in embarrassment when she imagined her mother bugging Kyle nonstop.
She sped up her driving to reach the hospital quickly and save herself some face in front of him. She has already bothered Kyle too much and she bet her mother was doing the same right now. She saw what happened in the courtroom and she was planning to visit Kyle as well but it turned out her mother was quite fast.
As soon as she arrived and parked her car in the hospital, Sarah ran directly to the emergency room and saw her mother talking to Kyle.
"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.
"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, frowning.
"This brat! How dare you yell at your mother!" Mrs. Jung scolded back, making Sarah pout while she whined, "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 said, "You can't fool us, Sarah."
She knew her daughter well. The brat always wanted a private and independent life so she was doing the same again. She was trying to hide it because of how clingy they could be. Well, they were all guilty of it but how could Sarah blame them when they are just worried for her?
"Mom, please. I will take care of Kyle from here…" Sarah commented, feeling embarrassed in front of Kyle. She did not want to fight and cause a commotion seeing that there were other people around.
The nurse soon arrived along with Abram and informed them, "We can now transfer him to his room."
"Mom please…" Sarah begged her mom and looked at Abram signaling him 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 him 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 very proud of what you did today. So make sure to 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 while Kyle simply smiled and nodded to Mrs. Jung. He had no family at all and seeing the way Sarah's family rushed towards him when they heard he was hurt touched him so deeply that he hoped he too had a family like her…
Yes, he still had his father who for sure hated him more now but he didn't have anyone who cared about him...
