Chapter 286 - Something bad happened

Kris looked at his mischievous girl.

"You're getting bolder and bolder. Have I spoiled you too much? Maybe I need to keep you on a tighter leash." Kris smiles. 

He turned his body so that he was blocking all the water from the shower. He wrapped his arms around Lena and pulled her in for a kiss.

One of his hands made it down to her buttocks. He gave it a soft squeeze. Lena gasped from the sudden grab.

Kris instantly stuck his tongue inside her mouth, claiming this pretty mouth entirely as his. They parted their mouths slightly, tongue out and twirling around each other. Then, they slammed their lips together again... and on and off sensational kiss until they were satisfied.

Kris looked at Lena with soft serene eyes. He then turned around, grabbed the shampoo and started washing Lena's hair.

Lena was a bit surprised.

"What?" Kris continued to wash her hair and she closed her eyes.

"Nothing." Lena smiled. She knew he only stopped because it was the one time of the month.

When Lena was done, she washed his hair. They both help each other washed their backs before they got out of the shower.

Lena cooked them dinner. They both chatted for a while before going to bed.

It was not until 3 a.m. in the morning when Lena's phone was blaring up. She only opened her eyes when Kris woke her up. She protested as she got out of Kris' warmth and picked up the phone.

"Mhmm...?" Lena answered, obviously not fully awake.

"Sorry to bother you, MIss. Shen, but something had happened."

"Hmm?? Is this Lawyer Hu?" Lena mumbled.

Kris perked his head up, opening his eyes wider when he realized it was a man calling his woman in the middle of the night.

"There was a bomb. The witness is dead along with several security details. Jackson is currently at the hospital for treatment for some minor burns."

"What?!" Lena instantly opened her eyes. 

She was definitely wide awake now. She got up from the bed and turned on the lamp.

"I'll be there in 10." Lena spoke.

"The authorities are already here... and I am taking care of the situation here. I think its best if you go to the hospital." Milo Hu suggested.

"You're right. I'll get in contact with the team in LUX and his family. I'll send someone else there to help you." 

Milo gave Lena the hospital where Jackson was taken to and then the call ended.

Lena put a hand on her face, did a yawn and scream and then looked at Kris.

"I got to go... something bad happened."

"Let me take you." Kris got up from the bed and also started changing his clothes. "I heard a bomb...? I am not letting you go out if this case is this dangerous." 

Lena nodded. After 10 minutes, both of them were down in the parking lot.

While driving to the hospital, Lena called and informed Angel on the situation. Angel said that she will contact his family since she is already back in America. Lena confirmed and that she will give them updates when she reaches the hospital.

Jackson was already getting treated when Lena entered his room. The nurse was just finishing up bandaging his wounds. Jackson spotted Lena entered the room and smiled at her.

"Hey." He spoke in English.

"How are you? That looks bad." Lena felt his pain.

He lifted up his arm a bit and chuckled. "I don't know... I am like... high on drugs. Doc said it was just some minor burns. Some good ointment then it shouldn't leave a horrible scar."

"That's good..." Lena walked over and sat on the sofa on the side until the nurse was done bandaging him.

Jackson tilted his head a bit to get a better look at Kris. 

"Is that your brother?" He asked.

"No... I am her future husband." Kris sat by Lena's side and put a hand on her back.

"Fiance?"

"No..."

"Boyfriend?" Jackson asked more clearly.

"...." Kris glared at this man. He felt like this lawyer did not get enough pain. "What is it to you?"

"You didn't you look like her brother... just more weird to say "Hey is that your boyfriend?" And then in the end... it's a brother." Jackson shrugged.

The temperature of the room dropped. Lena could feel that Kris was ready to snap this young man's head off. 

"He's high... and injured." Lena whispered to Kris.

Kris looked at Lena and then calmed down. She was right.... he did not need to get riled up by this man. 

The nurse was finally done. She said that she will come back and check on him later. She also reminded Lena not to talk to him too much since the drug might be making him drowsy.

"I am sorry..." Jackson spoke as he looked into the white ceiling. 

Lena could tell that his mind was wandering... but he was truly sorry about whatever he felt sorry for. She pulled a chair next to him and held his hand. Of course, she gave Kris the look first before doing so, just in case the man gets jealous.

But he didn't... the young lawyer was far from home. He needed some comfort.

"Hey... It's fine if the witness died... we can still win the case. I got you on my team remember, not a single case you lose yet, Jackson. Why don't you take a good rest... I'll make sure your parents know you're alright, okay?"

Jackson nodded and closed his eyes. He understood what Lena said even feeling the weight of the drugs coming in.

"Watch him okay? I am just going to call Angel back to report the situation to him." Lena walked out and called Angel.

Kris watched Lena leave the room. He looked at the young lawyer and then stood up. He walked by the window and took out his cellphone.

"Tell me what happened?" Kris demanded from the call.

"Boss...." There was a short silence before the man on the other side answered again. "Sorry, just had to go somewhere private."

"Ok."

"The witness was the person who stole the information from LUX and leaked it out. He was from the IT team. Jackson made him a good deal for him to testify that he did steal the information and sell it for a price."

"And he's dead now?"

"Yes... because he was from LUX, Jackson and his private security team had him on watch." The man replied.

"How many dead?"

"3 guards dead, 2 injured. And there is Jackson too."

"And Lena?" Kris asked.

"I don't believe she is in danger... I think whoever it was.. just wanted to get rid of the witness."

"I understand." 

"Boss.... there is one thing." The man spoke. "The bomb.. its signature... I know who made it."

"Who?!"

"I am certain that this was made by.... Agent 301... Ex Agent."

"...." Kris looked at the door knowing that Lena was not back yet and then at Jackson, who was asleep on the bed. "Becca..."
