Chapter 67 - 67: The Baby
Nathan immediately rushed inside the room and there he saw his wife about to piggy back the already weak Kelly.
Leaning on the corner was the man who had passed out because of the unbearable pain from his nether regions.
He also saw the heart breaking scene every man in the world never wished to experience.
However, he felt like the man deserved it.
"Eunji!" Nathan rushed towards them.
"Love. We have to bring Kelly to the hospital." Kim Eunji said in a hurried tone.
Worried that his wife may hurt herself in the process, Nathan said, "Let me carry her."
"No!" Kim Eunji firmly rejected the idea.
"Why?" Nathan was puzzled by it.
"I can manage in carrying her. And besides, starting today, I'm the only woman aside from Grandma Sana, Mommy Mei and our future daughter that you should carry. Understood?" Kim Eunji said which made Nathan to be amused by it.
He didn't know whether he should laugh or cry as he heard his wife's possessive claim towards him.
Kim Eunji did not wait for her husband's objection and immediately rushed out of the room with Kelly on her back.
Nathan's men, who were the back-up, went inside the room and as soon as they saw the miserable state of Feng Chen they immediately covered their respective jewels as they tried to protect it from harm.
They felt sorry for the man. And they felt his pain though she was they had not received the blow.
"Boss, what should we do with him?" Man 1 asked.
"Bring him to our base. I'll let first brother and my wife, if she wanted to, give this bastard punishment." Nathan thought that whoever this person was, deserved what he had suffered from his wife.
Judging from his position and state, it was clear that he was about to do something unforgivable to Kelly.
And it so happened that Kim Eunji, his dear wife, managed to stop him.
Nathan then rushed downstairs as soon as he finished giving instructions to his men. He was worried for his wife.
As he went out of the house, he saw an ambulance parked outside. Mo Jing-sheng was leaning and holding his wife's hand who was laying unconscious on the stretcher.
The emergency responder then closed the door and the ambulance drove off to the hospital.
Nathan walked towards Kim Eunji who was standing as she looked at the ambulance disappearing into the horizon.
Kim Eunji's expression was calm and peaceful unlike earlier that she was fierce and determined to kill someone.
Little did Nathan know, the calmer Kim Eunji was, the angrier she was inside. He then hugged her as he asked, "Love...are you okay?"
Nathan knew it was the dumbest question ever and he should not ask that as he obviously already knew the answer.
"I'm fine." Kim Eunji simply replied and then asked him back. "How about you?"
"I am. Don't worry." Even if he said that, Kim Eunji still checked him and she heaved a sigh when she saw Nathan was scratch free though his shirt was stained by Mo Jing-sheng's blood since he had to help him earlier.
Nathan also did the same thing for Kim Eunji.
"Turn around. Anyone who dare and look at my wife, their eyes would be pulled out from their sockets!" Nathan warned them which earned a smirk from Kim Eunji.
Nathan said to his men who were looking at Kim Eunji with curiosity and admiration.
Since they had arrived late, they had no idea what happened but when Man 2 started to play the CCTV recording for them, they could not believe what they had seen.
They also witnessed how Kim Eunji kicked and popped Feng Chen's balls and they felt the man's pain.
That's why they were dumbfounded when they saw her up close. She was like a goddess but with deadly and sharp moves.
Some even wanted to learn from her.
But since their Boss Master warned them, they had no other choice but to obey him.
As Nathan saw his men turning their backs, he immediately lifted her shirt to check if the stitches in her sides were okay and was not bleeding.
To his dismay, it was bleeding a bit but Kim Eunji was not alarmed by it.
"We need to get your wound be cleaned and checked first later when we reached to the hospital."
Nathan said as he pulled her shirt down.
"Okay. But we need your hand to be checked, too." Kim Eunji said as she had seen him earlier exchanging blows with the bad guys.
"Okay." Nathan nodded and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.
"Promise me to not do things like this in the future, okay? Let me, your husband to protect you." He gently pleaded her.
"But what if you're not there?" Kim Eunji probed.
"If ever I'm not present when the situation arises, let my men to protect you. Don't act unless necessary." Nathan said which made Kim Eunji to be in deep thought.
"Understood?" Nathan asked her but more like he wanted her to listen to him. Now that he saw her in action, he knew that she could defend herself but he could not help not to worry for her.
Her skills would surely attract more danger for her. And that was a fact.
"Okay." Kim Eunji knew where her husband was coming from. If their situation was reversed, Kim Eunji would also do the same thing.
And she didn't want to make him worry for her.
***
In the hospital, Kim Eunji was holding Kelly's right hand as the latter was still unconscious after receiving medication.
On the other bed beside hers was Mo Jing-sheng whom just like his wife, was sleeping after he was given the medication.
It was already eight in the evening and Nathan was out to buy them something to eat for dinner.
Kim Eunji had no appetite to eat so did Nathan but they must eat. Skipping meals is bad after all.
Nathan arranged for the Mo couple to be in the same room as he knew Mo Jing-sheng would not like waking up not beside his wife.
They have to be strong for their family.
The door opened revealing Nathan and company.
Hua Zhang Wei and Kim Jeong Ho came along together with Nathan.
They immediately dropped everything as soon as they learned from Nathan everything that had happened.
Nathan then walked towards his wife and gave her a soft peck on the lips.
This intimate action shocked the two people.
The playful Zhang Wei was about to tease them but he knew it was not the right place for that.
On the other hand, Kim Jeong Ho who had a crush on Kim Eunji was shocked as well. And soon, that shock was then replaced by sadness.
But then again, it should be expected from these two people.
Though they bickered back then, the chemistry was already clearly visible.
"You must be my husband's friends? I'm sorry but I could not remember meeting any of you at all."
"--__--"
The two were speechless as they heard the bomb.
"My wife got into an accident which made her temporarily lose her memory." Nathan explained to his friends.
"Wife?! Husband?!" Hua Zhang Wei whisper yelled as he could no longer hold back anymore.
"Yes. We just got our marriage certificate today." Nathan proudly said as he lovingly looked at his wife.
"And you had taken advantage of that to make her yours?" Kim Jeong Ho could not stop himself from voicing out his opinion about the matter.
"I agree, I did." Nathan immediately admitted and looked at his wife to see if she was mad about it.
After all, no one would never want to be taken advantaged by someone.
But Kim Eunji's response really surprised him.
"Yes he did. But my husband was not partly to blame." Kim Eunji defended.
"It's safe to say that I let him to take advantage of me. Therefore, I let it happen because I wanted it to happen. I just hope you'll support our marriage just like how you supported Kelly and Master Mo's marriage." Kim Eunji added.
Of course there's no way Kim Eunji would let him to bully her husband in front of her. Also, she didn't want her silence to cause any misunderstanding between them.
"I understand. I apologized for the way I acted earlier." Kim Jeong Ho immediately recognized his mistake.
"No, don't apologize to me. You don't owe me any apology. Apologize to my husband instead. What you did might have hurt him." Kim Eunji said.
On the other hand, Nathan felt warm and happy on the inside. He could not help not to be proud for his wife for standing up and defending him.
Kim Jeong Ho understood what Kim Eunji said.
"I'm sorry Nate." He sincerely apologized.
"En. Don't worry about it." Nathan immediately accepted Kim Jeong Ho's apology. The important thing for him was he had recognized his mistakes.
"So what now?" Hua Zhang Wei asked as he looked at the sleeping couple.
"Well, let's wait for first brother to wake up first before we decide on what to do with him." Nathan said referring to Feng Chen who was locked in the coldest cell in their base.
"I felt sorry for them. They don't deserve any of this." Hua Zhang Wei said.
"Me too." Kim Jeong Ho agreed.
"Have you informed Aunt and Uncle Mo about this?" Hua Zhang Wei asked Kim Jeong Ho.
"No, not yet." Kim Jeong Ho replied. He wanted didn't want the elders to worry them more especially that the two were suffering from illnesses as well.
"My men had taken good care of their house back at Imperial Residences. With everything that happened there, I'm sure first brother and Kelly would not want to go back and live there." Nathan said which made his two friends heaved a sigh of relief.
While they were talking, the house was cleaned up and all of the dead bodies were sent to the funeral homes and be given a decent burial afterwards. Nathan also arranged to give adequate compensation for the remaining families and offered scholarships for their children.
Later on, the house would be subject for demolition and the entire lot would be up for sale.
"Why did this happen to them though? My cousin did not even inform me beforehand. We could have prevented something like this to happen if we knew about this in the first place." Kim Jeong Ho expressed his frustration over the matter.
"I bet you still wouldn't even if you knew." Kim Eunji suddenly spoke which made the three men to turn their attention towards her.
"Okay. Can you enlighten us, sister-in-law?" Hua Zhang Wei seriously asked her.
"Now's not the right place and time for me to explain. I bet you have already looked into his background and had an idea about him."
The three were silent. They did but all they could find was that he's an ex-convict. That was all.
Now, they're curious to know what information Kim Eunji could give them.
While they were on their deep thoughts, Mo Jing-sheng groaned and as he regained his consciousness.
"First brother!"
"Cousin!"
Hua Zhang Wei and Kim Jeong Ho immediately rushed towards his bedside.
But Mo Jing-sheng's attention was not on them but with his sleeping wife.
"How's she?" Mo Jing-sheng asked Nathan.
"Your wife's fine first brother." Nathan said.
And then Mo Jing-sheng asked the question that everyone was waiting for.
"The baby. How's our baby?" Mo Jing-sheng worriedly looked at Kelly and then tried his best to reach out to his wife's flat stomach.
"The baby..." Nathan then looked at Kim Eunji as if asking for her permission. Kim Eunji nodded as she gave him the permission.
"The baby is alive but..."
