Chapter 620 - Marriage (1/2)

Daryl and Kenzie were both quiet as they arrived at the hospital. Kenzie tugged Daryl's arm and whispered, ”Relax, my father won't eat you alive.”

Daryl did not comment. He held the basket of fruits in his hand as they walked towards his room. He silently inhaled and exhaled to relax and calm his nerves. He was aware that Kenzie's father did not like him at all so he felt a bit awkward to visit him however, he wanted to see and check his condition as well.

They soon arrived at the VIP ward and Kenzie excitedly went inside, pulling Daryl along with her. Her father was watching the television with Butler Mark.

”Dad,” she energetically greeted and kissed her father's cheek.

”I was wondering what took you so long but I guess you were busy going on a date right?” Jack teased his daughter openly which made Kenzie's cheeks turn red.

”How are you doing, sir?” Daryl asked while he handed the basket to Butler Mark as per Kenzie's instruction.

”I'm doing good, son. It's nice to see you again. I guess my daughter doesn't have any plans to let you go. You see once she set her eyes onto something or someone she will never back down from fighting for it…” Jack openly commented with a proud smile, also referring to how his daughter fought her way to her position with full determination and in a very short span of time.

Daryl could feel how proud Kenzie's father was and he understood that he was not only referring to him but also at how she easily succeeded in obtaining the whole management for Chua Group.

He smiled and nodded.

”Now, there's only one thing this old man wants to witness before I undergo that life-threatening surgery,” Jack commented.

”Huh? I thought we already had an agreement, dad… No more delays, please. The doctor said that we have to do the surgery as soon as possible!! The more you delay the riskier it gets!”

”I know dear,” Jack cut his daughter off. Then he looked at Daryl and said, ”You see, there's no certainty that I will be in good health after the surgery… It's difficult for me to fully recover without any complications… And as a father, I would like to walk my daughter down the aisle before anything bad happens…”

”Dad!” Kenzie shouted with an angry face.

”Don't say such things!! Can't you see that I'm working so hard just to make you proud! You mustn't say things like that! Make sure you recover well and by then you can walk me down the aisle!” Kenzie mumbled, trying her best to suppress the tears from falling out but she just couldn't restrain it.

”Hey come here. Of course, your dad here will do his best to fight and return to you, dear… Just that I want to do this simple thing before I do the surgery.” Jack explained.

”Even so, why are you saying that in front of Daryl when we are not in a relationship yet. Don't be like that and push him to do things he's not sure of. That would be unfair for him!” Kenzie scolded, suddenly feeling embarrassed in front of Daryl.

Jack chuckled and said, ”Alright, will you choose among the candidates I picked?”

”No!” both Daryl and Kenzie burst in the chorus then the two looked at each other.
