Chapter 271 After dinner, Little Karen dragged her father and Big Karen to take a walk with her. Little Karen was holding her father's hand with one hand and Big Karen's with the other. She was jumping along the way and felt very happy. Karen Daly looked at Little Karen and couldn't move her eyes away, as if her eyes were fixed on Little Karen. Kevin Kyle was observing Karen Daly throughout the whole walk. He wanted to guess what was on her mind, but it was of no use. Kevin Kyle did not want to mention anything about Samuel Daly to Karen Daly, because he did not want Karen Daly to get hurt before she could retrieve her memory. However, he did not expect that Karen Daly would look for Faye Reed after he had left her, just for a while. No one could replace Faye Reed's and Karen Daly's friendship. Over the years, Faye Reed always felt that Karen Daly was in that car accident because of her. She had been blaming herself for this matter, but she didn't know that there was a conspiracy behind that incident. Now that Karen Daly had returned, Faye Reed was very happy at first until she knew that Karen Daly couldn't remember anything. One could imagine how much Faye Reed hoped that Karen Daly could regain her memory and everything would be back to normal Kevin Kyle understood Faye Reed's feelings, but Faye did not realise that there were things that could not be rushed. In order to restore Karen Daly's memory, they could only guide her slowly. "Karen, slow down." Karen Daly pulled Little Karen, who was jumping around, and wiped the sweat on her forehead. "Look at you, you're sweaty." "Big Karen, you should wipe your face too." Little Karen stretched out her little hand and wiped Karen Daly's face sloppily. "You're really thoughtful." Karen Daly held Little Karen in her arms and kissed her again and again. She was reluctant to let her go. Kevin Kyle checked the time and realised that it was getting late, Little Karen should go to bed. He said, "Karen, you are now responsible for taking care of Little Karen at night, let her sleep with you." Karen Daly really wanted to take care of Little Karen and let Little Karen sleep with her, but she was still suffering from her withdrawal symptoms. She couldn't take Little Karen with her, as she couldn't afford to scare Little Karen. She shook her head and said, "Maybe a few days later." She could take good care of Little Karen after a few days later, when her drug addiction was over. "I want to sleep with Big Karen and daddy." Little Karen didn't care so much and blurted out her thoughts. Kevin Kyle looked at Karen Daly and saw that she did not object her request. He said, "Okay, let's sleep together with Big Karen then." Hearing her father's words, Little Karen was very happy. Later, she would let her father sleep on her left side and Big Karen would sleep on her right side. That sounded so blissful. Her classmate, Marius, said that his father slept on his left side and his mother slept on his right side. With the both of them protecting him on the sides, nothing scary could come close. Little Karen didn't have a mother and couldn't experience having a mother sleeping on her side, so she hit the little boy who showed off in front of her. After beating Marius, Marius burst into tears. Little Karen also cried after realising that the situation didn't look good. She cried loudly, even louder than Marius' crying, so the teachers thought that Marius had hit her instead. Looking at Marius being criticized by her teacher, Little Karen was very pleased. With Brother Lionel's protection, those children would not be able to bully her. After a shower, Little Karen seemed so energetic, and she rolled around on the bed. "If I roll to the left, I can roll into my father's arms. If I roll to the right, I can roll into Big Karen's arms." After getting a kiss from each side, Little Karen rolled more and more vigorously. After rolling a few times, she stopped. She held her father's hand with one hand and Big Karen's hand with the other. "From now on, the both of you will sleep with me." "Okay. we will sleep with you." Kevin Kyle carried the little girl on his body and patted her back. "Go to sleep, or you won't be able to get up tomorrow." "Kiss me again, Big Karen." Before going to bed every day, her father would give her a goodnight kiss, so Little Karen asked Big Karen to kiss her goodnight too. She could only have a good sleep after this. Karen Daly approached Little Karen and kissed her on her cheek. "Good night, Little Karen." "Big Karen, daddy, good night." Little Karen laid on her father's body. She had been playing for too long, so she was fast asleep after a while. Karen Daly only saw Kevin Kyle after Little Karen had fallen asleep. When she saw Kevin Kyle, she suddenly felt sorry for him and asked, "Kevin Kyle, have you been coaxing Little Karen to sleep like this all these years?" Kevin Kyle held Little Karen in one hand and held Karen Daly's hand in the other tightly. He said, "Karen Daly, you have missed some years in Little Karen's growth, let's make it up to her together in the future." "Yes." Karen Daly nodded. "I will." Kevin Kyle added, "Little Karen is very sensible. She usually falls asleep without thinking too much. It's just that it's a little difficult getting her up in the morning." Karen Daly reached out her hand and touched Little Karen's face. "I can't imagine how it's look like when the little girl refuses to get up." "Very cute." Kevin Kyle looked at Karen Daly and asked softly, "Do you want to hug her?" "I want to sleep with her in my arms." Karen Daly nodded, then she shook her head. "But I'm worried about..." "Don't worry. As long as you think about Little Karen, you won't think about anything else." Kevin Kyle handed Little Karen to Karen Daly and checked the time. It was already late today and Karen Daly did not exhibit any symptoms yet. It seemed that the treatment had been working after half a month. Karen Daly hugged Little Karen and looked at Little Karen's flushed face. Her heart was melting. "Kevin, our daughter is so cute." She was talking about our daughter". The person who spoke did not notice the gravity of this sentence, but Kevin Kyle did. He said, "Yes, our daughter." The stories about Little Karen that Kevin Kyle told Karen Daly were all pleasant and nice. He never mentioned what happened to Little Karen when she was very young. Little Karen was taken out of her mother's womb a month before the due date. She was in an incubator for nearly half a month due to the premature birth. She was also in poor health and would fall ill easily as she grew bigger, and she almost died. During that period, Kevin Kyle stayed by Little Karen's side day and night, looking for the best doctor, using the best medicine, and taking good care of her until Little Karen's condition had improved. His Karen Daly was gone, and so was Momo. There was only him and Little Karen left. Kevin Kyle felt like he was living in hell as he looked back at that time. After some time, he bought a Pomeranian dog and named it Momo too, so that it could grow up with Little Karen while they wait for Big Karen's return. It was because of Kevin Kyle's attentive care that Little Karen was so healthy and lively today.
Chapter 272
At the largest entertainment complex in Chatterton Town -
Charm!
There were people feasting and seeking pleasure in the debauched environment with loud music. The men and women were dressed in revealing clothes while shouting and swinging around on the dance floor.
The private room upstairs was much quieter compared to the noise on the ground floor.
Some people were here to drink and some people were here for business. There were many different kinds of customers
here every night.
It was not the first time for Mia Kyle to come to such a place, but it was the first time for her to come here to
discuss a script.
In the past, her script was personally handed over to her by her manager from Rovio Entertainment. If she liked it, she
would accept it. If she did not like it, she would reject it.
The quality of the films and TV series produced by Rovio Entertainment were guaranteed, but they were not good at promoting their actors. Normally, their TV series were far more popular than the individual actors.
In the past few years, Mia Kyle had been featured in a lot of TV series, and also in some movies. Last year, she even won the Best Actress Award for a movie. Her popularity peaked
at that moment.
After being popular for a certain period, some people began to question her acting skills, saying that her role was simple
and not challenging. Sh*t
Mia Kyle rewatched the roles she had played in the past few years. Most of them were of similar roles and appearances, which was similar to her own image. There was indeed not much space for her to show off her acting skills.
If she could notice the problem, others would also notice it.
There were people on the Internet who edited her recent
roles into a short video. They said that if it weren't for the
different style of clothes, they would have thought that she
was acting the same role in the same film.
A large number of people attacked her acting skills after the edited video came out. After being attacked, those fans who did not understand her strayed away from her.
Her popularity was falling, or it was declining sharply. Mia Kyle felt distressed just thinking about it.
She was greatly impacted.
Mia Kyle suffered a bigger blow when she saw a recent actress the same age as her attracted an unprecedentedly
high attention.
Mia Kyle decided to change her style. She did not want to play the role of a good girl anymore. She wanted to do a completely opposite character. Anyway, she had to be more open-minded and bold in this field.
However, her manager was not willing to give her other roles, saying that the image she had built over the years with great efforts could not be ruined.
Upon hearing her manager's words, Mia Kyle gave her manager an earful
Her manager was one of her brother's staff, so she knew that her brother had some indirect control over these
decisions. When Mia Kyle was worried about her own role and image,
she received a call from a Director S, who said that he was going to shoot a new movie and was looking for a lead female actor. He thought that her image was quite suitable.
As soon as she received the call from Director S, Mia Kyle did not think twice and secretly went to the appointment without Jacky Ball knowing.
If Jacky Ball followed her, her brother would certainly find out, and then her dream of changing her image would be in vain.
They first went to a restaurant for dinner and Mia Kyle paid
for it.
The meal costs thousands of dollars.
Although Mia Kyle wasn't poor, it was definitely painful to
spend so much on others.
After dinner, they said they would like to have some fun, so
they had chosen the most expensive entertainment centre
in Chatterton Town.
These bastards knew that they were not spending their own money. Hence, they wanted the most expensive private room, the best liquor in the house, and also a bunch of escorts to accompany them.
Mia Kyle took a sip of wine and cursed in her heart,
"Damned old bastard, you're not going to live long with this
lifestyle."
"Polaris, there are a lot of people who want to work with Director S. Now that he had given you a chance to audition, you should take full advantage of it."
After drinking a few glasses of wine, the director's assistant
sat next to Mia Kyle and tried to speak to her.
"An audition? Where?" Mia Kyle's patience had been worn out. She could guarantee that she would hit someone at the slightest bit of inconvenience.
The assistant passed a room card to Mia Kyle and whispered, "It's in this room. As long as Director S is satisfied, the role of the lead actress will go to you."
After a night's worth of hassle, Mia Kyle finally understood that these old bastards wanted to play by an unspoken rule.
They shouldn't think that she was really stupid just because she looked silly and sweet.
These old bastards tried to harass her. She had to let them have a taste of the consequences of fooling with her.
Director S was a well-known director in this field. His
reputation was also very good and he made a lot of actors popular
Those who had played the lead role in his movie gained a lot of fame and popularity. This was why Mia Kyle came over without thinking twice when she heard that he wanted her to
take the role.
At this moment, Mia Kyle was not in the mood to serve those bastards anymore. She was looking at the bill to check how much money she had spent today. She must let these bastards pay her back.
"Polaris, why are you still standing there? Go ahead." The
assistant pushed Mia Kyle and said, "This is such a good
opportunity. If you miss it, I'm afraid you won't be able to have another chance for the rest of your life."
Mia Kyle dialed Neil Brown's phone quietly and said, "Please cough up roughly five hundred thousand dollars in total."
The assistant asked, "What?"
Mia Kyle said, "It's for tonight's expenses." The assistant said, "Polaris, are you crazy? Don't you want to stay in this industry?"
Mia Kyle sneered and said, "I'm very sober. I won't be fooled by you."
Over the years, it was always her who would normally lie to people, no one could lie to her.
Five hundred thousand dollars, she would get back whatever she paid for them. She couldn't let these old bastards take advantage of even a single penny.
As soon as Mia Kyle caused a scene, the people in the room looked over immediately. One of them said, "Yo, you willingly joined us tonight. Don't make a fuss now."
Mia Kyle said, "Pay me back the money, then I can pretend that nothing has happened. If you pay less, none of you can survive in this industry in the future."
Mia Kyle was telling the truth, but no one would believe that she was capable of doing that. If someone were to believe her capabilities, then Mia Kyle would not be invited here at
the first place.
"Ha ha ha..."
They were all laughing at Mia Kyle, laughing at her stupidity, laughing at her foolishness, laughing at her arrogant
attitude in the face of disaster.
Someone stood up and said, "Polaris, do you know who is sitting in front of you?"
Mia Kyle raised her eyebrows and glanced at the man they were talking about. Only then she noticed that there was a
handsome man sitting here.
But so what if he was good-looking? He was still far worse
than her Neil Brown. She snorted disdainfully, "I don't care who you are. As long as you give me back my money, everything will be fine."
Chapter 273
"Little girl, you have been in Chatterton Town for a long time, haven't you? Don't you know who you can't offend in
Chatterton Town?"
Seeing Mia Kyle's arrogant attitude, some people wanted to give her some advice. Otherwise, she would not understand
what trouble was she in.
"Who is the person who can't be provoked in Chatterton Town?" Mia Kyle really couldn't think of any person who couldn't be provoked in Chatterton Town as she had always acted according to her own liking.
Because no matter what she did, no matter how uncontrollable the situation was, there would always be
someone behind her to clean up the mess, so she never
knew how to control her temper.
This person lent her some kind words, "Leo Kyle from Rovio Corporation Inc, Neil Brown, who is in charge of the military
of Chatterton Town, and our mayor's son, Master Perth."
"Neil Brown can't be provoked?" Mia thought.
Mia Kyle was provoking him every day, and he couldn't do anything to her. The most miserable thing was that she was beaten badly by his men last time. In the end, Neil Brown still stood by her side and treated her nicely
Her very own cold brother, in addition to being very good to Little Karen and Big Karen, was also very good to her.
Although he took care of a lot of things and was quite strict with her, it was always for her own good.
Among the three big shots who couldn't be provoked in Chatterton Town, two of them were people that Mia Kyle were very close to. She had been playing around with them since she was young. They had been treating her nicely and
preciously ever since she was young.
As for the son of the mayor, Mia Kyle really didn't know him.
Over the years, she had spent all her time with Neil Brown except when she was filming. She had no time to think about anything else and could not tolerate other men in her
eyes.
Mia Kyle arranged her thoughts quickly. After some time, she soon guessed that the good-looking man in front of her should be the son of the mayor, Master Perth, whom they mentioned.
Mia Kyle looked at him and said, "You must be one of those top figures in the city then. Well, I'm guessing that you
definitely wouldn't let a hard worker like me pay this bill."
"What's going on? How can you let such a beautiful girl pay the bill?" The man who was surrounded by everyone stared
at Mia Kyle and finally spoke.
One of his subordinates said, "Master Perth...
The man waved his hand to stop his subordinates from
talking, and then he said, "Return the money to this beautiful girl, five hundred thousand dollars, every single penny of it."
"Yes."
Mia Kyle received the amount she had spent this evening in
her account within a few minutes.
Looking at the figures on the her mobile phone, she smiled and said, "Master Perth, you are indeed one of the top three powerful people in Chatterton Town who can't be messed with. You are forthright when dealing with things. You can come to me if you need my help in the future, as long as you don't bring these bastards along." "I also like to make friends with generous people." The man looked at her, smiled gently and said, "Let me propose a toast to you and apologise on behalf of everyone. Let's pretend that nothing unpleasant happened tonight."
The man said sincerely. He raised his glass and finished his drink. He said, "I'll toast first."
Mia Kyle was also a generous and bold person. She took over the glass of liquor passed by his subordinates. She said, "I have never forgiven anyone so easily in the past.
Today, i'll make an exception because of your good looks and generosity, Master Perth."
The man nodded, as if he accepted Mia Kyle's compliment.
"Since the money has been returned, and I've accompanied
you all enough, I should go now." Mia Kyle waved to the man and said, "Master Perth, see you again!"
The man looked at Mia Kyle and smiled without saying anything. His eyes were deep and unfathomable.
Mia Kyle turned around and suddenly found that her feet were so heavy that she couldn't move at all, as if they were planted to the ground.
Besides, her head was also dizzy. Her vision gradually
became blurred, and these people in front of her seemed to be going around in circles.
"F**k! You f*cking drugged me." Mia Kyle gritted her teeth.
She had heard of this kind of thing, but she didn't expect that she would encounter it.
She had been working with Neil Brown and Kevin Kyle since she was a child. She didn't expect that she would be defeated by such a few losers today.
One of them said, "Master Perth, this little girl is really hot tempered. She can still remain calm at this time."
"How are you spike my drink. You'll see what I can do." Mia Kyle tried to keep her eyes wide open and was trying to keep her head clear.
"Hahaha. The people around her laughed again, which was louder and more arrogant than before. "Since she threatened us, it's better for us to take her clothes off first."
"Take off my clothes? Any fingers near me will be chopped off!" Mia Kyle was still very arrogant, but she was panicking in her heart.
She hadn't encountered such a thing, and she didn't know what kind of drug these bastards had given her.
Her head was getting more and more dizzy that she couldn't think anymore. Their voices were so close but she couldn't
hear what they said.
She subconsciously held her mobile phone in her pocket.
She didn't know if the previous call went through to Neil Brown's phone, whether he had answered it, and whether he
would come to save her...
When Mia Kyle was thinking of Neil Brown, her head slowly turned blank. Her body went limp and she fell to the ground.
In her mind, she was plotting revenge.
Looking at Mia Kyle who collapsed on the ground, the others stopped laughing. Everyone looked at the man and asked,
"Master, how do we deal with this girl?"
The man got up and walked to Mia Kyle's side and bent down. He pinched her chin and slightly raised her head. He stared at her again and again, as if there was something on
Mia Kyle's face.
After looking at it for a long time, the man said, "Send her to
my room."
The men exchanged looks and walked up to carry Mia Kyle. At this moment, the door was kicked open violently. With another kick, the thick wooden door fell apart, and then the tall figure of Neil Brown appeared in front of them.
Neil Brown suddenly appeared, which made everyone else stepped back in fear.
"Captain Brown, it's you." The man in front smiled and said, "I heard that you would never come to such a place. Why are you here today?
Neil Brown grabbed Mia Kyle and carried her on his shoulder. His sharp eyes swept around the room like a cheetah
In just a second, Neil Brown scanned everyone's face, and especially those whom he knew.
Chapter 274
The man in the lead said, "I heard that you never get close to women. Why did you come to my place to snatch my person?"
"I'll do whatever I want. What kind of reason do I need to give?" Neil Brown replied coldly.
The man looked at Neil Brown and said provocatively,
"Captain Brown, there are rules to follow. If you want to snatch a woman from me, you'll have to ask my men."
"Hmm." Neil Brown snorted, "How many people are here?
Just come and fight me then instead of spewing nonsense."
The fact that they drugged Mia Kyle was already crossing his boundaries, yet they wanted to challenge him too.
Neil Brown grew up in the army and had already trained himself well. Even if he didn't hit anyone, their hands would hurt from hitting him.
The man waved his hand, and several men attacked Neil
Brown together.
Neil Brown kicked them away. He effortlessly kicked those men away and they collapsed instantly. He even stepped on
a man's back.
Neil Brown looked at the main man and said coldly, "Perth, no one will stand in your way if you want to play with
women. Just be cautious in the future."
After saying that, Neil Brown walked away while carrying Mia Kyle, leaving everyone in the room looking at each other
in dismay.
When Neil Brown walked far away, one of them asked, "Master, why was Neil Brown here suddenly?"
"That little girl was not stupid. She called Neil Brown before causing a scene." The man said.
The man was admiring Mia Kyle's courage, but although she was courageous, she still lacked some brains. He barely touched her and just spiked her drink, yet she fell for it.
Mia Kyle, who had lost consciousness for a long time, was
lying on the shoulder of Neil Brown, swaying from side to
side. She was unconscious.
Neil Brown put her into the car and drove Mia Kyle to his house in the central area of Chatterton Town. This was the house he had bought for himself to stay during his leisure
time.
Neil Brown was the only one left in his family, and he lived in the military base almost everyday. He would only come back for a few days during his days off.
It would take a long time to drive here from the military region. It would be a waste of time for Neil Brown to travel
to and fro.
After carrying Mia Kyle home, he threw her onto the sofa.
He then turned around and went to the bathroom without looking at her. He opened the faucet and filled the bathtub
with water.
He went back to the living room and picked Mia Kyle up, it was as easy as picking up a pet. He put her into the bathtub.
Neil Brown pressed Mia Kyle's head into the water, and only brought her back out after a while.
Mia Kyle coughed and spat out a mouthful of water. She had woken up. Before she could figure out what was going on,
she scolded, "F**k, you old bastards, how dare you drug me?
You wish to die, don't you?"
She scolded and waved her hand in the air. "Bastard, wait
for me. I'll cripple you up so that you can no longer harm
others."
"Mia Kyle!"
Neil Brown's voice came from above her head, which made Mia Kyle shiver. She looked up and said, "Neil Brown, don't make a sound. I'll deal with those old bastards first, and then i'll accompany you."
"Mia Kyle, is something wrong with your brain?" Neil Brown threw a towel to her and said, "Please wash yourself up!"
Mia Kyle didn't realise that she was soaked in the bathtub until she caught the towel thrown by Neil Brown. Her thin
clothes were wrapped tightly to her body, and the beautiful
skin and curves of her body were completely exposed to him.
Mia Kyle deliberately puffed out her chest and coughed
softly, "Neil Brown, I was drugged just now. My legs and whole body were weak. I don't have the strength to stand up. Help me."
Neil Brown glanced at her and leaned against the sink. He said slowly, "You're in a pool of cold water. Continue being in it if you're not afraid of the cold. I don't have any objections."
"F**k, are you a man or not?" Mia Kyle was a little excited at first, but when she recalled that he didn't even look at her,
the little excitement was vanished.
Neil Brown then looked at her and didn't say a word.
Mia Kyle pouted her lips and said discontentedly, "Neil, I called you so early, but you didn't come to save me before I was drugged. It's really unforgivable." Neil Brown said, "I was not going there to save you, I was there to see you make a fool of yourself. Let's see how foolish you were to be set up by those people."
"Everyone will make mistakes, and I'm just a little girl." Mia Kyle suddenly jumped up from the bathtub and rushed to Neil Brown to hug him tightly. "Neil Brown, don't be stubborn. Is it so difficult for you to admit that you like me?"
Neil Brown forcefully let go of her and pushed her away, saying, "I cannot control how you think about it and I don't care."
Mia Kyle rushed to him again and hugged him tightly. "Neil you've brought me to your house. Don't pretend anymore. If you want to sleep with me, just say it. Don't worry, I won't
reject you."
Neil Brown said, "My sister is in poor health and she still
treats you like her own daughter. If something happens to you, how long do you think she can live?"
"So that's the reason why you took care of me and came to save me?" Mia Kyle blinked and a drop of tear rolled down from the corner of her eyes, she had been greatly hurt.
If others saw her like this, they would definitely be deceived by her superb acting skills. But Neil Brown was different.
He was the man who often fought with her. He could read through her intentions.
"Stop acting. I won't be tricked." After saying that, Neil Brown turned around and left.
Mia Kyle lifted her foot and kicked him. Neil Brown didn't walk fast, so she kicked his ass, which made her laugh. "I'll let you pretend to be a nice person, and let's see how long you can keep pretending."
Mia Kyle wiped her body with the towel. Her clothes were see-through from being drenched in water, but she didn't mind.
She then sat beside Neil Brown. She stretched out her hand to touch him. Neil Brown grabbed her hand and said sternly,
"Mia Kyle, you are not young anymore. No one can take care of you for the rest of your life. You have to learn to grow up."
"No matter how old I am, I can't be older than you." Since her
hand was caught, she then squeezed her whole body against his. "Marry me please. If you marry me, I will be a wife and a mother. Maybe I will grow up and be sensible then."
Chapter 275
Mia Kyle had never treated herself as a girl in front of Neil
Brown
She was like a female warrior, she kept working hard to win the battle against Neil Brown and tried her best to get him.
She had been working hard for a long time, but she had been circling around in the same place. There was no progress at all.
At first, Mia Kyle was not in a hurry and felt that she had plenty of time to play with him, but she didn't think so now.
Time passed quickly before she knew it. She had to find a way to knock him down and "eat" him first.
In the past few days, she had watched a lot of love action
movies and learned a lot of seductive skills from the actor.
Today, she could use Neil Brown to practice her skills
She felt that her learning ability was very strong. As long as she threw herself at Neil Brown, she would definitely wipe
him out.
However, before she could start, she was grabbed by Neil Brown and thrown to the other side of the sofa.
Mia Kyle was so angry that she gritted her teeth and scolded, "Neil Brown, you bastard, can't you be a little gentler?"
Neil Brown glanced at her and said, "Jacky Ball is coming soon. If you want to be someone's wife or a mother, find him. I think he wouldn't mind."
"Hmph.." Mia Kyle glared at him, rolled her eyes and came up with a new idea. "Neil Brown, do you know what kind of
drug those people used earlier?"
Judging by her reactions, it probably was just a form of sedative. Neil Brown was familiar with this kind of drug.
Neil Brown knew what she was thinking from the moment she rolled her eyes. He said, "Go back with Jacky Ball and don't think too much."
"No, I want to sleep with you." Mia Kyle rushed to him again when he didn't pay attention to her. But he moved too fast and she missed him.
Mia Kyle still wanted to say something, but the doorbell
rang. Damn it, it seemed that Jacky Ball had arrived.
Neil Brown went to open the door. As expected, Jacky Ball showed up outside. After greeting Neil Brown politely, he said, "Polaris, i'm here to pick you up."
Mia Kyle grabbed the pillow on the sofa and threw it at Jacky Ball. She said angrily, "Jacky Ball, how can you be so stupid? You have been with me for so many years. Don't you know what I'm thinking about?"
Of course Jacky Ball knew what Mia Kyle was thinking, but Neil Brown had called him to pick her up, so it was impossible for him not to show up.
Besides, Neil Brown was legally, Mia Kyle's adoptive uncle. It would be a mess if there was really something going on
between them
Mia Kyle left with Jacky Ball reluctantly. She stepped forward and glared at Jacky Ball fiercely. Her eyes were so sharp that they could kill.
Jacky Ball lowered his head and did not dare to utter a
word. If he were to speak up, he would definitely be beaten
up by Mia Kyle as a punching bag.
As soon as she got on the car, Mia Kyle's cell phone rang. She looked at it, when she saw the caller ID on the screen, she smiled happily and picked it up, "Grandpa, it's so late.
Haven't you slept yet?"
"I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much that I can't sleep." Grandpa Kyle's voice came through the phone to Mia Kyle's ears.
"Grandpa, sorry, it's my fault."
Hearing Grandpa Kyle's voice, Mia Kyle felt bad. She promised to return to the United States to see her grandfather days ago, but she didn't. She spent all her energy to pursue Neil Brown.
"Silly child, you are my joy. How can you blame yourself?"
"Grandpa, I won't be filming these days. I'll ask someone to book a flight right away. I'll take a plane back to the United
States to see you tomorrow."
"Mia, if you want to accompany me, you don't have to go to
the United States. Just wait in Chatterton Town."
"Grandpa, are you here in Chatterton Town?"
"I have some things to deal with. After that, I will head to Chatterton Town for a few days."
"Grandpa, since you're coming to Chatterton Town, I'll tell
you a piece of good news in advance."
"What good news?"
"Sister-in-law, that we thought had passed away three years
ago came back alive. Although she lost her memory, it was
so good to see her again."
"Grandpa, don't you think it's amazing? It was you who said that sister-in-law's body had been cremated. How did she survive?" "Mia, it's been a while, and I don't really think too much. But since your brother cares so much about your sister-in-law, it's good for her to come back." Grandpa Kyle replied.
"After she came back, Kevin smiled a lot more and won't push people away like what he did before." Mia said.
Grandpa Kyle asked, "Did your sister-in-law regain her memory?"
Mia Kyle shook her head and said, "She hasn't yet, she doesn't even know me."
"Well, I see." Grandpa Kyle sighed and said, "It's getting late.
Go home and rest early after you get home."
Mia Kyle asked, "Grandpa, how do you know I haven't arrived home yet?"
"." Grandpa Kyle paused for a moment and said, "I can hear it from your voice. Besides, a little devil like you won't be
home so early anyway."
Of course, he would not tell Mia Kyle that he was sitting in
the car located near Neil Brown's house and watching her
After the call with Mia Kyle, the person invited by Grandpa Kyle had arrived.
He asked the driver to open the door, and Neil Brown sat
down next to him in the back seat.
Grandpa Kyle asked, "How's the investigation coming along?"
Neil Brown said, "I don't have any clue."
Grandpa Kyle said, "If we don't figure out this matter, we can't get rid of Samuel Daly. If we can't get rid of him, the secret may be exposed to the public at any time."
Neil Brown knew the magnitude of the matter, but it was not so easy to find anything without any clues. Grandpa Kyle said again, "Now with the Internet that can spread news so quickly, if the news were to be leaked out, we can't save it no matter how hard we try."
Neil Brown said, "I will work hard."
Samuel Daly could schedule an e-mail draft to be sent out in the future, which was then possible to reveal this news even after his death.
There were so many methods. Neil Brown also could not simply approach anyone to investigate this. This matter had
gotten incredibly complex.
However, no matter how difficult it was, he would try his best to investigate so that they could protect the person
they wanted to protect.
As long as they learn the way Samuel Daly would use to expose that news, it would not be difficult for them to deal
with Samuel Daly.
And at this moment, Samuel Daly was still daydreaming, hoping to get the money and power that he had dreamed of, and make the Daly family proud.
Chapter 276
Because she wanted to take care of Little Karen better, because she wanted to quickly regain her past memory, and because she wanted to return to Kevin Kyle and Little Karen
as Mrs. Kyle badly...
Karen Daly's perseverance in her drug rehabilitation was stronger than anything else. For a few days in a row, she did not experience any relapse, and her mental condition had improved a lot
A Children's Day celebration was coming up in a couple of days, and Karen Daly was finishing up the clothes she made for Little Karen
Because it was her first time making clothes for her daughter, Karen Daly really put in a ton of effort.
She made two beautiful dresses and a suit, so that Little Karen would have more fashion choices. She could either be a beautiful little princess or act like a handsome boy.
Karen Daly held the clothes and couldn't stop looking at them. She could already imagine how cute Little Karen
would look when she wore them.
Every time she thought about how she was the one who gave birth to Little Karen, Karen Daly felt an immense warmth.
She was not alone. She had her own child, Little Karen.
Just as Karen Daly was engrossed in her thoughts, the phone beside her started to buzz. She shook off her thoughts and saw the most familiar contact number on the phone screen-Father.
She didn't want to answer the phone, but after some consideration, she decided that she wanted to hear what Samuel Daly had to say, so she picked up the call.
As soon as Karen Daly answered the phone, she heard Samuel Daly speak with concern, "Karen, I am back. You are not at home nor at the company. Where did you go? I'm very worried about you."
If she didn't know that she was drugged by him, Karen Daly would have been deceived by the kind act Samuel Daly was
putting on
Karen Daly used to feel so happy every time she heard Samuel Daly's voice. While she had lost her memory and everything in the past, there was still a father who cared so
much about her and stayed by her side to give her strength.
But now, Karen Daly only found his voice to be fake and hollow. She didn't even care much to respond.
"What's wrong, Karen? Why aren't you speaking? Are you unwell?" Samuel Daly kept asking, demonstrating his concern for Karen Daly.
Karen Daly took a deep breath and said, "I'm fine. What can I
do for you?"
Karen Daly's unaffectionate reply proved Samuel Daly's suspicion. Karen Daly mentioned losing her medicine when they were on the phone a few days ago, she probably
already knew that he had added morphine to her
medication.
After figuring that out, Samuel Daly said, "Karen, since I'm
back. shouldn't you come home?"
Karen Daly thought for a while. There were some things that
she wanted to ask him face to face. After a moment of silence, she replied, "I'll go back soon."
Karen Daly washed and hung Little Karen's new clothes, then packed up some clothes to go over to Samuel Daly's
house
When she got there, Karen Daly could already smell the broth from the doorstep, much like in the past.
She used to be elated smelling this, but now she felt like Samuel Daly was only doing this to get in her good books, and not actually because he cared for her.
With the others like Kevin Kyle and Faye Reed, she could feel that they cared for her sincerely. It was very different with
her father.
Women have very accurate sixth senses, and Karen Daly believed in her own sixth sense. Just like how she felt Little
Karen was familiar at first sight.
"Karen, you're back." Samuel Daly greeted her.
"Mhmm." Karen Daly nodded and didn't want to say anything
else.
"I cooked your favorite soup and dishes. Take a seat, the food will be served soon." After saying that, Samuel Daly
turned and went to the kitchen.
Samuel Daly acted as if he didn't notice Karen Daly's abnormal mood. He was still as kind as he had been to Karen Daly for the past three years.
He was aware that Karen Daly was suspecting him. And it was precisely because of her suspicion, that he wanted to put up more of an act.
As long as Karen Daly hasn't regained her memories, he could grab every opportunity to use her against Kevin Kyle.
Now was not the time for him to confess about drugging her. He wanted to wait for Karen Daly to ask about it. As
long as she initiated the conversation, Samuel Daly had the chance to regain her trust. Samuel Daly served Karen Daly a bowl of her favourite soup,
"Karen, I know you can't stand being hungry. Have some
soup first."
Karen Daly did not take the soup. She stared firmly at Samuel Daly and asked, "Why did you drug me?"
Karen Daly did not even greet him well, and she spoke in a cold tone. Samuel Daly knew Karen Daly had already learnt that he was the one who drugged her.
But it didn't matter. He had long prepared to deal with this.
Samuel Daly pretended to be sad and sighed. "You already know? Did Kevin Kyle tell you?"
Before Karen Daly could speak, Samuel Daly continued, "1 wanted to keep it a secret from you, but it seems like I can't hide it anymore."
"Keep it a secret from me?" Karen Daly was shaking, "Even if you could keep it a secret for now, I would find out some day, right?
Samuel Daly added, "Karen, do you know why I had to give you the drugs? Do you still remember that you had been bedridden for a year?"
Of course Karen Daly remembered that. It was a problem for her to even get out of bed and walk at that time, and she was not very conscious of what was going on. She felt that
she had been to hell and came back to life.
"Do you really think you were sick?" Samuel Daly shook his head, clutched his chest and said, "No, Karen. You weren't sick. The truth was, you were injected with a chemical."
Karen Daly was stunned and asked, "What chemical?"
Samuel Daly gritted his teeth and put on a suffering expression. After a long while, he said gently, "Anyone who gets injected with that chemical, would have a 50% chance of death, and a 50% chance of memory loss if they lived."
After hearing Samuel Daly's words, Karen Daly felt extremely shocked. She recovered after a while and asked,
"So the reason why I lost my memory was not because of an illness but instead, it was due to the chemical injection?"
Around that time, she should have been pregnant with Little Karen. Or maybe she had just given birth. Who would have
done this to her?
Samuel Daly said firmly, "Yes."
Karen Daly asked, "Who was it? Why did they do it?"
"Because we came from an ordinary family with an ordinary background, we are not worthy to be in the Kyle family. They simply needed someone to conceive their child. Once you
gave birth, they didn't need you anymore. Samuel Daly teared up as he said this, and slapped himself hard, "I'm sorry, Karen. It was my fault. I wasn't successful enough that you had to go through this.
Chapter 277
Samuel Daly continued with tears streaming down his face,
"The Kyle family wanted children, but they don't want the children to know that they have such an ordinary mother.
The easiest way was to kill you, so they injected you with the chemical that the military used against spies. They wanted you dead, but you were lucky. You survived."
Samuel Daly's spoke with emotion, and Karen Daly could not
resist feeling sad when she heard it. But if what he said was true, why did Kevin Kyle bother getting close to her? Why did he tell her that Little Karen was their child?
If the Kyle family simply wanted children, Kevin Kyle could probably get any woman he wanted. There would be tons of women willing to conceive his child. Why did he choose
her?
Karen Daly still had doubts in her mind, but she did not show it. She looked at Samuel Daly with a calm expression.
Samuel Daly shifted away his gaze, avoiding eye contact.
Karen Daly took a deep breath and asked, "Then how are you going to explain why my mother died because of you?"
Samuel Daly did not expect Karen Daly to suddenly ask about the cause of her mother's death. He was a little
flustered, but soon regained his composure.
He was a very cunning person, and soon came up with a
reply. He wiped his tears and said sadly, "Karen, you would
rather believe in a person who has nothing to do with you,
more than you trust me?"
Karen Daly, ."
Karen Daly admitted that she believed in Kevin Kyle and Faye Reed more, but she couldn't say it out loud. She was
worried that she might be wrong about Samuel Daly.
Seeing that Karen Daly did not say anything else, Samuel Daly understood her hesitation and added, "Since you don't believe me, I have nothing to say. I just want you to know that wherever you go, you can always come back to me if you need me."
After saying that, Samuel Daly got up and left. He couldn't walk straight, as if he had been hurt gravely.
Seeing Samuel Daly like this, Karen Daly couldn't bring herself to ask more questions.
She had lost all her memory. She could only guess what happened in the past based on what people told her. She did not know what was the truth.
In order to verify whether these stories were true and to find out what actually happened three years ago, she had to regain her memory
But she knew nothing about the past. How was she going to
get her memory back?
Samuel Daly spoke nothing of her past. Faye Reed, on the other hand, told her a lot. She told her that they both grew up in Beaford City.
Maybe she could get some more information from Faye Reed, then go visit Beaford City. Perhaps that would help
her regain her memory.
With that thought in mind, Karen Daly couldn't wait to see Faye Reed. She had to get to the bottom of things.
At the same time, Kevin Kyle had just finished listening to the conversation between Karen Daly and Samuel Daly. He looked devastated. To hear that he had guessed correctly about Karen Daly receiving the lethal chemical injection, he didn't know how to
react.
His precious Karen Daly. If she wasn't lucky enough, she may have left him and Little Karen forever three years ago.
The thought of Karen Daly having to put up with the torture
tore him apart. He couldn't imagine how helpless and
scared she must be feeling, having gone through such
terrible schemes.
He pulled out his phone and keyed in Karen Daly's number.
Just before he dialled the call, he stopped... She probably
wouldn't want to receive a call now.
After consideration, Kevin Kyle did not call Karen Daly.
Instead, he called George Ken and said, "Karen Daly was indeed injected with the chemical you were talking about
Please think of a solution as soon as possible."
The reason why Kevin Kyle gave orders to release Samuel Daly and not prevent Karen Daly from meeting him was simple. He wanted to collect some information from Samuel Daly, who probably wouldn't say anything to him.
Kevin Kyle managed to get the information he wanted, and of course he also heard the accusations made of his family.
Maybe it wasn't totally an accusation. Perhaps his superior grandfather did exactly what Samuel Daly mentioned.
Now, he was just worried that Karen Daly would believe
what Samuel Daly said...
Amelia Gray knocked on the door and came in, interrupting Kevin Kyle's thoughts. "Director Kevin, the meeting is about
to begin.
Kevin Kyle nodded and suppressed the complicated emotions he had. "Okay."
Karen Daly walked out of the house and hailed a taxi as soon as she walked onto the roadside. She was hurrying to see Faye Reed at the studio.
She was lucky. It was usually difficult to hail a taxi on this
side of the road, but there was a taxi coming towards her as
soon as she came out of the house. It was almost as if the
taxi had been waiting for her.
After she got on the taxi, Karen Daly told the driver the address and stared out the window, with too many thoughts in her head. After returning to Chatterton Town, she had
come in contact and talked to more people than she had in
the past three years.
It was a nice feeling, because it did not make her feel like a freak anymore. She no longer felt as if she was alone all the
time.
Just as Karen Daly was deep in thought, the car stopped abruptly, causing her to topple forward and hitting the seat in front.
She was rubbing her head and wanted to speak when the driver signalled for her to remain silent. He held up a piece of paper towards her.
- Miss Daly, please read this silently. There is a tracking device with an eavesdropping bug installed on you. Your every action and your speech are being monitored. If you do not believe me, take off the amulet you are wearing and look inside it.
"L..." Why should she believe him?
Karen Daly had just said a word, but stopped quickly. She
stared at the driver and looked at him quietly. She wanted to understand how he did he know that there was a tracking
device installed on her, and why did he tell her?
The taxi driver did not show any expression on his face. His gaze was even calmer, as if he had been trained professionally.
Karen Daly bit her lip. Anxiously, she removed the amulet Little Karen gave to her with care.
After taking it off, she held the amulet tightly in her hand,
She did not dare to open it up. She was scared.
Although she knew she shouldn't trust Kevin Kyle fully, she had feelings for him, and therefore trusted him.
If there was really a tracking device in that amulet, it would mean that Kevin Kyle used Little Karen and took advantage of Karen Daly's love towards her.. that would be really
despicable.
Karen Daly took a deep breath in and opened up the amulet with her hands trembling. Fumbling about the contents of the amulet, she found a small device just the size of a pin.
Chapter 278
Karen Daly recalled jokingly asking Kevin Kyle whether he was monitoring her or not. At that time, his answer was..
yes!
He even asked her if she wanted to catch him.
Her answer was-yes.
At that time, she thought that he was only joking with her.
She even felt blissful, but now she only felt scared.
Karen Daly closed her eyes, clenched her fists, and tried to calm herself down. After a while, she put back the amulet and put it back on her neck.
This was the first gift that her daughter Little Karen had
given her. Even if the person who sent Little Karen to do this had ulterior motives, she still wanted to keep the amulet
with her.
After putting on the amulet, Karen Daly said, "Please continue to send me to the Daly Reed Designs studio on
Starluck Street."
If Kevin Kyle wanted to monitor her, then let him be.
She wanted to see what possibly could he get from a
woman who lost her memory?
Soon after, the car stopped in front of Faye Reed's studio.
The car stopped steadily. Karen Daly did not get off the car.
She looked up from the rearview mirror and quietly
observed the driver's face.
She wanted to ask who the driver was. She wanted to know why he knew that Kevin Kyle had put a bug in the amulet?
Why did he tell her? As if he knew Karen Daly had these questions, the driver handed her a note and said, "Take care, get off the car and
be careful."
Karen Daly got out of the car, opened the note, and read the two sentences written on it - It doesn't matter who I am or
why I told you. The most important thing is that you must be
wary of the people around you.
The two simple sentences were just a waste of time. They did not tell Karen Daly what she wanted to know.
When Karen Daly turned back, there was no sign of the car
at all. It was almost as if it was just her hallucination.
Karen Daly changed her facial expression and tried to make herself look better. Then she stepped towards Faye Reed's studio.
Faye Reed was discussing about some problems with a
designer, so Karen Daly simply listened and did not disturb
her.
Only after Faye Reed was done with her work, that she turned around and saw her. "Karen, how long have you been
here? Why didn't you call me?"
"I just arrived." Karen Daly said with a simple smile.
Faye Reed gave Karen Daly a warm hug and said, "It's dinner time now. I'll treat you to dinner."
Karen Daly nodded. "Sure."
Faye Reed invited Karen Daly to a nearby restaurant that
they used to visit often. In the three years, the restaurant had been renewed. The staff members kept changing too,
After asking for Karen Daly's opinion, Faye Reed ordered some dishes that Karen Daly liked to eat before, and they
chatted away. "Karen, how have you been with Mr. Kyle?"
Karen Daly nodded. "Very good."
If she hadn't found out something by accident today, things were indeed very good.
They slept in the same bed with Little Karen every night.
Every morning when she opened her eyes, she would see Kevin Kyle sitting by the window and reading newspapers.
They looked like an ordinary couple.
Faye Reed said with relief, "Karen, I'm also happy that you can get along well with each other."
Karen Daly smiled, "I don't remember anything about the past. We can't get along with each other like before. It's a pity for me."
Karen Daly came to Faye Reed today because she wanted to know what had happened in the past, so as they talked, she slowly guided the topic to her memory.
Faye Reed added, "Karen, I can understand how you feel.
Even between the two of us now, although we are sitting together and chatting, I can feel that you haven't truly opened up, and I am also careful around you."
Faye Reed had always been straightforward and said whatever she thought. Especially in front of Karen Daly, she didn't need to hide what she thought.
She was careful around Karen Daly because she was afraid that she would trigger Karen Daly by saying something wrong, and she was afraid that Karen Daly would be scared
away
Karen Daly pursed her lips and chuckled. "Didn't you say that I'm your best friend? You can just say what you want to say,
You don't have to be careful. Maybe it' |l help with my
memory." "You're right." Faye Reed nodded, "If you want to know anything, just ask me. I promise you that I will tell you everything."
"I don't know what is there to know about." Karen Daly
smiled apologetically. If you don't despise me, please tell me what happened in the past. Tell me as much as you can."
"How would I ever despise you?" Faye Reed rolled her eyes at Karen Daly with dissatisfaction, "Even if I despise my
Sebastian Spencer, I wouldn't despise you."
Every time Faye Reed said something, Karen Daly was observing her eyes. Every time she spoke, she would make eye contact with Karen Daly, and she didn't seem to be lying.
Faye Reed talked about the past intently. She knew exactly where her home was, where she lived, where she was in primary school, middle school, and college. All of them were clearly explained, and Karen Daly kept them in mind.
At the same time, she also took note of Kristine Daly, who
Faye Reed described as both hateful yet pitiful.
If good memories were unable to make her regain her memories, would Kristine Daly be the key to the breakthrough?
Karen Daly had the thought but didn't say anything about it.
She finished the meal with Faye Reed "happily".
Halfway through the meal, Kevin Kyle called to ask her
where she was.
He knew where she was, but still pretended to ask her, and Karen Daly simply cooperated with him without exposing
him.
When she went downstairs, Karen Daly saw Kevin Kyle waiting for her. He was leaning against his Bentley and
stared straight ahead.
Everyone passing by would get attracted, and some even went up to talk to him. But when he ignored them, they left
defeated.
"Mr. Kyle, Karen Daly is here. What are you looking at?" Faye Reed waved to Kevin Kyle and shouted loudly.
Kevin Kyle looked over and cleared off the emotions in his head. He nodded politely to Faye Reed and looked towards Karen Daly. "Are you full?"
Karen Daly nodded. "Yes, I'm full."
Faye Reed realized the situation, "It's getting late. The idiot Sebastian Spencer must be waiting for me at home for dinner, so I shall not disturb you anymore."
"Faye, be careful on the way." Karen Daly said.
Faye Reed had just turned around and was about to run off when she heard Karen Daly's caring words. She gave her a tight hug. "Karen, All the best! I believe you can do it!"
"Okay." Karen Daly smiled at her.
Seeing Faye Reed walking away, Kevin Kyle reached out to hold Karen Daly's hand. As soon as he touched her finger, Karen Daly swat his hands away.
Karen Daly walked towards the car without saying a word to Kevin Kyle.
Kevin Kyle only thought that she believed the accusations Samuel Daly made about his family. He did not know that Karen Daly was already aware of the tracking device.
Chapter 279
Along the journey, Karen Daly and Kevin Kyle remained silent.
Karen Daly had her gaze set straight ahead, and put on a calm front. Deep inside, she had mixed emotions she couldn'
t express.
If it weren't for Little Karen, and if it weren't for the fact that
she wanted to hand over the gift to Little Karen, she probably would not have followed Kevin Kyle back to his
home.
Kevin Kyle didn't say a word, but he hadn't thought of how to explain the accusations Samuel Daly made about his family.
To be precise, he couldn't explain it to Karen Daly.
Karen Daly had to be the one to bring it up. If he brought it
up, it would be admitting that he was eavesdropping on her.
"Karen, is there something on your mind? You can tell me anything." She used to be the one who carried the conversation forward, but he didn't mind doing so now.
Karen Daly still stared ahead, as if she didn't hear Kevin Kyle.
Kevin Kyle was a little helpless and did not ask any more questions. When they arrived, he heard Karen Daly asking faintly, "Kevin, did we get along fine... in the past?"
Karen Daly did not know what she was doing.
With Samuel Daly, she was always able to maintain her composure and think properly.
However with Kevin Kyle, her mind was in shambles and she
could not bring herself to blame him.
She was even trying to convince herself that Kevin Kyle was only tracking her to understand her and help her regain her
memory
But if that was what he was trying to do, why couldn't he just
tell her?
The true reason why she ignored Kevin Kyle was because he invaded her privacy without her permission.
"Karen- " Kevin Kyle pulled Karen Daly into his arms and held her tightly. He grabbed her hand and put it against his heart.
"I don't if you felt that I was good enough, in your heart.
But I do know that my heart feels empty when you're not around."
His heart was empty, so was hers.
However, she still couldn't let go of the grudge in her heart, and she hadn't thought about how to bring up the topic of the tracking device.
Karen Daly caressed Kevin Kyle's chest lightly, looked up at him and said, "Let's go in. It's so late, Little Karen must be waiting for us.
"Okay." If Karen Daly didn't want to continue the topic, Kevin Kyle didn't want to dwell on it. He took her hand again and Karen Daly didn't dodge away, so he held her tightly and didn't intend to let go.
When they got home, Lionel was playing with Little Karen. It was a game of hide-and-seek. Lionel was very patient with
Little Karen.
Seeing a big boy playing hide-and-seek with Little Karen patiently, Karen Daly couldn't stop staring at him.
She had been staying in Secret Garden for a long time, and
she had never heard Lionel speak a word.
If she hadn't heard from Little Karen that "Brother Lionel talks a lot", Karen Daly would have thought that he was
mute.
The boy put on a cold face with everyone, but when he was
with Little Karen, his gentleness showed, and occasionally
he smiled.
Little Karen didn't have siblings. Karen Daly felt at ease that she had a big brother taking care of her.
"Dad, Big Karen... Little Karen, who hid behind the sofa,
forgot about Brother Lionel who was 'seeking her and just got up and ran to them.
Kevin Kyle stretched out his hands to hug Little Karen but she ran into Karen Daly's arms, leaving him hanging.
Karen Daly caught Little Karen and kissed her forehead. She said softly, "Little Karen, have you had your dinner?"
"Of course, I'm full." Little Karen rubbed her belly and pointed to Lionel who was standing next to her. "Brother Lionel accompanied me to eat together."
"Well, our Little Karen is a really good girl." Karen Daly smiled politely at Lionel. "Thank you for accompanying
Little Karen."
Lionel did not respond.
Little Karen looked at him and smiled sweetly. She said in a
soft voice, "Brother Lionel is going to sleep, and I'm going to
sleep too."
Hearing Little Karen's instructions, Lionel nodded. Then he
went upstairs and went back to his room
Karen Daly rubbed Little Karen's head, "Little Karen, Brother
Lionel is very good, isn't he?"
"Mhmm.." The little girl nodded repeatedly and said innocently, "Brother Lionel plays with me and eats with me. I
like Brother Lionel a lot." Karen Daly smiled with satisfaction, "If you like Brother Lionel, then you should treat him better, as if he was your biological brother."
"Okay." Little Karen didn't quite understand what biological brother' meant, but she just nodded obediently.
As the mother and daughter talked, they completely neglected Kevin Kyle.
Although he was completely ignored, Kevin Kyle had no complaints at all. What else could make him happier than seeing the two of them staying by his side him at the same time?
Karen Daly helped Little Karen with her shower, put her in bed, and said gently, "Little Karen, Daddy will play with you for a while. I have something to do."
Kevin Kyle grabbed Karen Daly, who was about to leave,
"Karen
Karen Daly smiled at him, "I'm going to iron Little Karen's clothes. I'll be back in a while."
He knew that she was angry with him, so he was so worried that she would leave and not come back. But actually she couldn't bring herself to get mad at him, though she didn't
understand why
Karen Daly picked up the clothes and went back to the room
after getting an iron.
In the room, Little Karen was happily rolling on Kevin Kyle, laughing all over the place. She looked really happy.
When she saw the father and daughter interact, Karen Daly
couldn't look away, and her heart softened.
When she saw them, Karen Daly thought of many things.
She remembered how Kevin Kyle accompanied her during her drug rehabilitation and took good care of her. He really cared for her, how could she not notice?
No matter how busy he was, he would always make time for his daughter
How could such a good man be the kind of person who only
cares about his daughter and not care about her, as what
Samuel Daly said?
Karen Daly took a deep breath and said, "Little Karen, I made some new clothes for you. Would you like to try them?"
"Okay." Little Karen rolled down from Kevin Kyle and answered happily
Kevin Kyle took the clothes from Karen Daly, "You've worked hard. I'll take care of changing her clothes. I can't let you do everything. It would make me seem useless as a father."
As he spoke, Kevin Kyle had skillfully taken off Little Karen's pajamas and then helped her put on the skirt.
The pink princess- dress did not look exceptionally outstanding, but when Karen Daly put a lace with a big bow
around Little Karen's waist, the dress looked remarkable on
her.
"Little Karen, do you like it?" Karen Daly asked cautiously
She noticed her lips had dried up from nervousness. She was afraid her daughter wouldn't like the first present she was giving her.
Chapter 280
Kevin Kyle quickly cooperated with Karen Daly and said with some exaggeration, "Wow, it's so beautiful. This is the most beautiful little princess dress I've ever seen you wearing."
Little Karen turned around on the bed and said in a sweet voice, "I want to take a look at the mirror."
She was a witty little girl. She wouldn't trust daddy's judgement. She must look at it herself.
Daddy liked Big Karen so much, who knows if he was just lying to help Big Karen look good.
Looking at her beautiful reflection in the mirror, Little Karen was very happy. She turned around and placed a few kisses on Karen Daly's face. "Thank you, Big Karen. I like it very much."
"Well, thank you so much for liking it." Karen Daly also kissed Little Karen back.
Receiving Little Karen's recognition, Karen Daly felt more excited than when she was receiving an international
designer's award.
It was not just the dress. Little Karen also liked the other two clothes a lot. She started to believe what daddy said, that the clothes Big Karen made were the prettiest. She
wore them and did not want to take them off even when she
went to sleep. Karen Daly had to change her into her pyjamas after she had fallen asleep.
Looking at the cute Little Karen, Karen Daly kissed her again. Every time she thought about how Little Karen was her own child, she felt an indescribable satisfaction.
With the little ball of joy asleep, the atmosphere turned quiet immediately.
Both people lying by Little Karen's two sides were staring at the ceiling in unison. They both had so much to say to each other, but did not know where to start.
After a long time, Kevin Kyle turned over and moved Little Karen to the side. He lay down beside Karen Daly and pulled
her into his arms.
"Kevin Kyle, what are you doing?" Karen Daly tried to
struggle, but she couldn't. She angrily pounded on his chest.
"I just want to hug you." He did want to hug her, to feel her warmth filling up the hole in his heart.
Hearing his low voice, Karen Daly's heart softened. She silently put down her fist and snuggled in his arms, quietly
listening to his strong heartbeat.
"Kevin, are you.."
Are you hiding anything from me? As long as you tell me frankly, I will forgive you.
Karen Daly really wanted to tell Kevin Kyle this, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.
"Karen, trust me!"
No matter what happens, you must trust me. Trust that I can handle everything. Trust that I can protect you and our
daughter.
Kevin Kyle really wanted to tell Karen Daly this, but he couldn' t bring himself to say it. He didn't want to add on to the matters at hand. He would confess everything to Karen Daly when he's done handling the situation. She should be able to accept it by then.
"Mmm." Karen Daly breathed deeply. She shall trust him again. She shall trust that he was doing everything for her
own good, and not to cause her harm like Samuel Daly.
He had told her earlier on that he was on a business trip when everything happened three years ago. When he came back everything had already passed.
The child was given birth through surgery, and he had lost his wife. He did not know what happened. All these years, he had been looking for her.
So she was willing to trust him.
Although she had decided to trust Kevin Kyle, Karen Daly couldn't just sit there and do nothing. She didn't want to rely on Kevin Kyle for everything. She wanted to be brave and search for her memory on her own.
So on the second day, Karen Daly quietly took out the tracking device from the amulet, left it at home, and flew to Beaford City by herself.
She was hoping that if she saw the places and sceneries from her past, it would trigger something in her mind that could make her regain her memories
When Kevin Kyle received the news that Karen Daly had flown to Beaford City alone, he was holding a large conference. The moment he heard it, Karen Daly had already boarded the flight long ago, Kevin Kyle blew up on the spot.
Many people in the meeting room were Kevin Kyle's old subordinates. In the business circle, Kevin Kyle had always been the stable one. No matter how alarming the situation was, he could deal with it calmly and issue orders
accurately
It was the first time for everyone to see Kevin Kyle get so
angry.
In fact, he didn't do anything, but everyone could feel his anger, which could have burned down the whole building.
Kevin Kyle glanced coldly at the messenger, "Nick Black,
your men are incompetent. You'll take care of that yourself
Amelia Gray, arrange a private plane to fly to Beaford City
immediately. I want to take off as soon as arrive at the airport. Also, contact the Beaford City airport personnel. I don't care what methods they have to use, I want them to make sure she doesn't leave the airport."
He had arranged so many people to keep an eye on Karen Daly, and yet this group... only informed the news to him
after she had already boarded the plane. He really wanted
to tear these people into pieces.
What if...
He didn't have the courage to think about what might happen. At this moment, he had to catch up with Karen Daly as fast as he could and put her under his protection, so that she wouldn't be hurt at all.
The weather in Beaford City was not as good as the weather in Chatterton Town. That was Karen Daly's first impression after getting off the plane.
Chatterton Town was hot, but there was the sea breeze, so it was bearable. On the other hand, Beaford City made her feel like she was going to evaporate from the heat any moment.
From Karen Daly's limited memory, it was her first time coming to the Beaford City Airport. The airport was on par with many international airports, and there were a lot of
travellers
She followed everyone who got off the plane and quickly moved forward toward the airport exit. But before long, she was stopped by the airport security staff. She wasn't sure whether the staff thought that she was
stupid, because they gave her the most ridiculous excuse for stopping her. They said that her luggage contained prohibited items, and asked her to cooperate with a spot
check.
Gosh!
She was only carrying a small backpack, which only contained a set of clothes and some toiletries. How was it possible that she had prohibited items?
Before coming to the Beaford City, she had thought that there might be obstacles. There were probably some people
trying to prevent her from regaining her memory, so she
came prepared.
She asked to be excused to the bathroom. This simple reason had to be accepted by the airport staff.
Moreover, there were no windows in the bathroom. As long
as they waited outside, she would not be able to escape no
matter what, so the security personnel let her go.
When she came to the bathroom, Karen Daly quickly changed into a new set of clothes, put down her high ponytail, and put on some make up. She only came out when she thought the security personnel would not be able to recognise her.
As she expected, she walked out of the bathroom and passed the two security personnels with ease. They only gave her a glance and did not suspect her at all
After walking for some distance, Karen Daly walked swiftly.
She had to escape before the two security guards found out. As long as she left the airport, searching for her would
be as hard as searching for a needle in a haystack.
Chapter 281
Beaford City, was the capital of a country, so you could imagine the lifestyle here.
If you look up, there are skyscrapers everywhere, buried in the clouds.
Karen Daly could not figure out where she was when she got out of the taxi. That's hard to imagine, since she grew up in
this city.
The streets, the buildings, the pedestrians, everything was
unfamiliar to her, as if she'd never lived here before.
Karen Daly took a deep breath, as she put on a smile and
told herself, "Karen Daly, it's okay."
Just because she could not remember anything today, it did
not mean that she would not make any progress tomorrow.
If she tried hard enough, she'd definitely be able to remember her past.
Karen Daly had only one purpose in mind for her trip to Beaford City. She needed to find the whereabouts of her pitiful, yet hateful sister, Kristine Daly, as mentioned by Faye Reed.
Before coming to Beaford City, Karen Daly had already contacted Kristine Daly ahead of time and told her that she would like to meet up with her, and Kristine Daly immediately agreed.
"Kristine Daly.."
Silently, Karen Daly recited the name over and over again,
trying to bring back any sort of memory that was buried deep in her mind. Something was definitely there, but she couldn't remember any little detail about Kristine Daly. Karen Daly had learned some information from Faye Reed, and from the additional information that she found on the
Internet, she knew that Kristine Daly was disfigured once, and she was also mentally unwell once.
But Kristine Daly's doing better now, having done plastic surgery and she's starting life anew. She's currently employed at a startup company in Beaford City, as well as owning some of the company's shares.
If it weren't for the fact that she had heard too much negative stories about Kristine Daly, Karen Daly would've thought that Kristine Daly was a very inspirational person
Karen Daly shook her head, not wanting to hear about the
things that Kristine Daly had done in the past. She's only
hoping to get other insights from Kristine Daly
The buildings around her looked almost identical to each
other, hence Karen Daly had troubles finding the company that Kristine Daly was working at, which was Wilis Corporation, even with the help of the navigation application on her phone.
As a last resort, Karen Daly texted Kristine Daly. "I'm here.
But I can't find your office."
Not long after the text was sent, Karen Daly got a call from Kristine Daly. She sounded almost similar to what Karen Daly imagined she would sound like, soothing and very
pleasant
She said, "Where are you? I'll go look for you."
Karen Daly took a quick look around and gave the name of a shop on her left, then she hung up the phone and waited for
Kristine Daly.
Kristine Daly didn't leave immediately after she'd hung up the phone, though. Instead, she made her way to the window, and she looked at the convenience store across the
street downstairs.
There stood a tall woman wearing a cap, white shirt and jeans on the right side of the convenience store. She was looking around, probably trying to get familiar with her surroundings.
She still looked beautiful even though a few years had passed. She was tall and slender, and she looked like she had good skin, like a young schoolgirl. It would have been impossible to tell that she was already a mother of a young child.
The woman who should have passed away three years ago, the woman who had outdone her over and over again...
Kristine Daly thought that they would never meet again in this life, but she came back alive, and even took the initiative to contact her.
Kristine Daly had started a new life, and achieved some results at work. Kristine was trying to forget all the painful memories that had happened to her.
As long as no one reminded her, she was starting to put her past behind her.
But just as she was about to move on, Samuel Daly, who had been on the run, came back with Karen Daly, who should
have died.
Karen Daly was the last person that Kristine Daly would want to see, because seeing Karen Daly now would force her to recall how badly defeated she was by Karen Daly in
the past.
So why did she agree to meet up with Karen Daly if she didn't want to see her? She wanted to see how Karen Daly
had turned out, now that she's lost all of her memories. Lost all of her memories?
Kristine Daly narrowed her eyes, doubtful.
Karen Daly was smart. Maybe it's all just an act, and she never lost any of her memories. But she couldn't quite figure out why, and who could possibly be her audience?
Karen Daly was involved in a car accident three years ago
and she died, but the child in her womb didn't.
Kristine Daly was still in the hospital recovering from her
psychotic episode when she heard the news, and no words
could describe the thrill that she felt in her heart.
The woman who was indefinitely blessed by the God of Fortune, the woman who was a lot luckier than her, had also been blessed by the God of Death.
Back then, she laughed at the sky for a solid 30 minutes.
Though, happiness aside, she felt indescribably sad. Once her tensed nerves had relaxed, she could only feel the emptiness in her heart.
There used to be Charlie Gook, Karen Daly, and her. The three of them grew up together, and now they're all gone.
She was the only one left.
It was only then that she finally realized that life is truly
short, so you need to make the best out of it.
You only get to live a few good years in a lifetime. No matter
how hard you try to fight for more, you'll still end up with
nothing eventually.
When she finally got her head around it, Kristine Daly felt that God was actually not that bad towards her after all. He
may have disfigured her, but He didn't perish her.
Charlie Gook and Karen Daly died when they were young
and turned to ashes. She was the only one left alive, and only those who remain alive could change their fate, and live the lives that they want to live.
Why must Samuel Daly bring Karen Daly back just when she was starting to see that life is finally turning for the better?
Why must they come and destroy this peaceful life of hers?
Samuel Daly, who had destroyed her life, was shameless enough to have contacted her, calling her his good daughter, so that they could flaunt the Daly Family's reputation as a
father-daughter duo.
Hehe
How ridiculous. Only a bastard like him would have such a shameless personality. He might have forgotten all the ugly things that he had done in the past, but she hasn't, and she never will.
She didn't reject Samuel Daly either. Instead, she agreed to his request. She wanted to see how far Samuel Daly could leap before he falls to the ground.
She wanted to see it with her own eyes - Samuel Daly giving all that he could, only to lose everything in the end.
Karen Daly had waited for quite a while before she finally
got to meet Kristine Daly.
Karen Daly wasn't able to find any photos of Kristine Daly after her facial reconstruction surgery, but Karen Daly could still recognize Kristine Daly at first sight.
Based on what Karen Daly had heard from Faye Reed, she grew up with Kristine Daly together. They lived together for so long, and they knew each other like the back of their hands. She thought that her telepathic sense may helped her recognize Kristine Daly.
"Karen, it's been so long that we've seen each other, but nothing's changed at all, and you're still as beautiful as ever."
Kristine Daly greeted Karen Daly like she would to a sister whom she hadn't seen for many years. She had her true feelings so well hidden that no one could see through it.
Karen Daly nodded. "Nice to meet you!"
She wasn't sure if her relationship with Kristine Daly in the past was just as what Faye Reed had described, so she was keeping herself at a distance, at least until she regains her
memory.
Chapter 282
Kristine Daly smiled at Karen Daly and said, "Karen, we're sisters. You don't have to be so courteous to me."
Kristine Daly's facial expression appeared to be rather stiff after surgery, and her smile looked very unnatural. She
wasn't as beautiful as she looked in the photos that Karen
Daly had found on the Internet.
Sisters?
Were they really close sisters?
Karen Daly trusted what Faye Reed had said, but Kristine Daly's expression looked sincere, so Karen Daly did not believe that she could be faking it.
At this point, she was starting to get really confused of who she should trust
Kristine Daly said again, "Let's go. I'll treat you to dinner."
To which Karen Daly replied, "I should be the one treating you, since I was the one who'd asked to meet up with you."
Kristine Daly gave it a thought and said, "That's fine too."
Kristine Daly drove Karen Daly and they went to a restaurant that was a little further away. She said, "We used to go to this restaurant a lot when we went to school. See, the other restaurants have changed a lot, but this one is still standing strong with a lot of customers."
"Maybe."
Perhaps they used to come here a lot when they were young, but Karen Daly's mind was all blank. She couldn't
relate at all.
Kristine Daly went on and described more about the
restaurant.
Though she wasn't really interested, Karen Daly listened attentively anyway. Any clue she could get was better than
none
Kristine Daly spent the entire meal talking, and Karen Daly was responding to her courteously, mostly providing some non-verbal cues such as nodding and smiling.
After Karen Daly had paid for the meal, Kristine Daly said again, "I heard from Samuel Daly that you'd lost your memories. I also know what you came here for, so if you ever need anything, just let me know."
Kristine Daly's offer was so straightforward, that it made Karen Daly hesitate a little.
If Faye Reed's words were true, Kristine Daly should be
resenting her instead of welcoming her.
Karen Daly had prepared for herself to be turned down when she requested to meet with Kristine Daly. But never would she have expected that Kristine Daly was so affectionate towards her.
Was it because Kristine Daly had changed? Could she just
be acting? Or did Faye Reed deceive her?
If Karen Daly could not remember the past, she would not have the answers to her questions or to prove the authenticity of their information. Now the only thing left for her to do was to try and find out about the past.
Karen Daly gave it a thought and said, "I want to go back to
look at the old place that we used to live. Will you take me
there?"
Once again, Kristine Daly replied generously, "Of course, it's no problem at all." They came out of the restaurant together, and Karen Daly stood at the crowded intersection to wait for Kristine Daly
as she drove the car over.
Just as Karen Daly was looking around, a familiar, tall and slender figure appeared out of the corner of her eye.
Kevin Kyle?
Flustered, Karen Daly held onto the cap on her head, turned around and hid behind a huge tree by the road.
She had a chance to take a closer look at the man from her
hiding spot and found that the man was indeed Kevin Kyle.
He still wore the same clothes like he always did, a white shirt paired with black slacks. Plain and ordinary.
Maybe because he stood out too much, Karen Daly was able to recognize him at first glance, despite the distance and the crowd
Kevin Kyle looked calm, though Karen Daly could tell that he
displayed a different kind of "calm" emotion.
He looked a little anxious, but he was managing it well to the extent no one would know if they did not take a closer look
Why on earth did Kevin Kyle come here?
Is he here because she was here?
Is he trying to help her remember?
Or did he come because he was worried of her safety?
Would he be concerned if he could not find her?
But she could not depend on him for everything. If she wanted to regain her memories, she must do it on her own.
Kevin Kyle would not be of much help.
Just as Karen Daly was getting lost in her thoughts looking at Kevin Kyle, Kristine Daly stopped the car beside her and said, "Karen, get in the car."
Karen Daly stole another glance at Kevin Kyle again. She bit her lip and got into Kristine Daly's car without looking back.
Kevin Kyle treated her well, but she could not rely on him forever. She needed to grow and be mature, so that he would have a shoulder to lean on when he was tired.
The ride took about half an hour to arrive at their
destination
Two people had died over the course of a few months in the Daly residence. One died of suicide, while the other was murdered. Both died a gruesome death.
Karen Daly's mother's death was only investigated when the police was investigating the death of Charlie Gook.
News spread quick as the servants of the Daly residence started to speak out too. The house was deemed to be
haunted.
The stories got stretched out even further as time went by.
According to some people, they could see a woman jumping
off the roof every night.
The house became a sensation when the rumors went viral, and pedestrians and cars would take a detour just to
observe the house.
The house was left vacant, and it couldn't be resold or
rented out due to the speculations of it being a haunted house. No one even bothered to clean up the house.
No one had been there for the past three years. The yard
was overgrown with weeds. The house was starting to look
like a haunted house as depicted in horror movies.
They stood outside the courtyard, looking at the gate. Karen Daly's legs were suddenly heavy out of the blue for no
reason.
Kristine Daly spoke, "This is the place where we used to live.
Do you still remember it?"
Karen Daly shook her head and then nodded again
hesitantly
She couldn't recall, but it all felt so familiar. She felt a discomfort in her heart all of a sudden, as if her subconscious remembered this place.
In a trance, Karen Daly saw a middle-aged woman standing
in front of her, looking at her with a smile. "Karen, you're finally home. Do you know how long have I been waiting for you?"
"Mom?" Karen asked.
"Karen, I've missed you so much." The woman said.
"Mom, I miss you too."
Karen Daly walked over as she wanted to catch the woman
but she couldn't. Everything disappeared into thin air.
Kristine Daly asked, "Did you see mom? Did you just have a hallucination of her? Or did she die resentfully and her ghost was left here waiting all these time?"
Karen Daly did not answer her, but she could vaguely remember images in her mind. At times the woman will be smiling at her, at times she would be hiding in the room crying, she even saw the ice, cold coffin...
These scenes were very much different from the ones that she'd seen before. They were clear in her mind, but when she tried to focus to remember more, everything seemed to have perished.
Taking a deep breath in, Karen Daly clenched her fists. She pretended to be calm and said, "Can I have a look inside?"
Kristine Daly hesitated before she said, "You can go in on your own if you want to, I won't accompany you."
Kristine Daly saw the tragedy happen before her own eyes
when Karen Daly's mother had committed suicide.
Furthermore, she murdered Charlie Gook here. This place
was miserable to her. Usually, she would not return here.
Today, she came here with Karen Daly. Kristine Daly was
secretly analysing Karen, and she would be able to know soon enough, if Karen Daly had in fact, lost all of her
memories.
Chapter 283
Karen Daly pushed the rusty gate open, as she walked in with extreme caution.
"Karen, you're back!"
In a daze, a familiar, gentle and kind voice rang again in
Karen Daly's ears.
But when Karen Daly stopped in her tracks to look around, there was nothing there, even the voice in her ears were
gone.
Karen Daly continued making her way in until she came to the main door. She opened the door and a pungent smell arose. Spider-webs were visible in all corners of the house.
Karen Daly stood at the door. What she saw in front of her was no longer the house covered in spider-webs, but of a young woman playing with a little girl in her arms.
A chubby little girl with a face full of mud like a kitten was there. The woman didn't look at all displeased, and instead she took a towel and gently wiped the little girl's face.
"Karen, someone had just mopped the floor. Where did you go that you could bring so much mud back into the house?"
"Karen, I'm going to carry you to the mirror for you to look at yourself. Look how dirty you are."
"Karen girls must be well-mannered. Don't be naughty."
"Karen..."
The gentle voice of the woman kept sounding in Karen Daly's ears, warming her heart.
Mother loved to clean. She used to help the servants clean up the house. She would polish the floor over and over again, so bright that it could be used as a mirror.
"Mom?"
Unknowingly, these were the only things that crossed Karen Daly's mind when she thought about her mother. She knew how much her mother loved keeping the house spotless.
Her mind brought her back to the scene when her mother would hold her, and she was smiling as she told her, "Girls must be gentle, girls must be pretty, girls must take care of
hygiene...
Karen Daly could hear her mother's voice clear as day and slowly, she was able to get a clearer look of her mother's
face.
So many familiar scenes flood themselves in Karen Daly's
mind. She finally remembered that her name was Karen
Daly, and her mother used to gently call her name, Karen.
But the scenes that came to mind were merely memories of her mother when she was young She still couldn't recall
how her mother had passed away
"Mom..." Karen Daly closed her eyes and took a deep breath,
then she said, "I'm home. I've come back to see you."
Karen Daly continued her way in, and made her way upstairs to her mother's room by instinct. Corners of the room were covered by cobwebs, no longer the way it was when her
mother was still living here.
The image of her mother crying in the room was also present, obviously a memory that Karen Daly kept buried in her mind. And now her mother was no longer here.
Yet how did her mother leave? Did it have anything to do with Samuel Daly like what Faye Reed had said?
Though Karen Daly was facing a little trouble with remembering everything else, she was in no hurry. She had already remembered some details, and that's a good start.
She had faith that as long as she tried even harder, she would be able to regain all her memories of the past.
Karen Daly continued treading in the house full of cobwebs
and dust, to continue looking for her memories, but nothing
seemed to work anymore.
At the end of the corridor of the second floor was a storage
room.
The door was tightly shut. Karen Daly knew it was a storage
room as there was a sign.
She stood in front of the door and took her time. After some
deliberate consideration, she lifted her hand and turned the
door knob. She pushed the door open and walked into the
room.
There weren't any windows in the room. The room was very dark, with all kinds of things cluttering on the floor. The moldy smell was getting stronger than ever.
Karen Daly pressed on the switch on the wall. Since the
place had been vacant for too long, there's no water and
electricity supply in the place.
Karen Daly took a tour of the room, relying on the minimal
external sunlight. A while later, the door closed itself shut and Karen Daly could hear the sound of the door being locked. The room was dark again, now that the light was
gone.
Ever since her experience of being stranded in the hospital elevator, dark and enclosed spaces had become Karen Daly's worst fears.
She rushed to the door as fast as she could, wanting to open the door to escape. But the door was locked from the
outside and she couldn't open it.
The door was a dead end, and the room was terrifyingly dark. Not only was Karen Daly stuck, the traumatizing experience from Karen Daly's past was triggering her even
more.
She slammed the door, yelling for help at the top of her lungs, "Is anyone there? Let me out..
Her cry for help went on until she lost her voice. Still, no one came for her.
She was brought back to her past, to the night when she got stuck in a hospital elevator. No matter how hard she'd cried for help, no one came to her rescue either. She was left within the dark and enclosed space of the elevator for
nearly the whole night.
If the people had found her just a little later, she might have suffocated due to a lack of oxygen in the elevator.
And now she was experiencing the same trauma with no one beside her. One could only imagine the fear that Karen Daly was feeling.
She had herself curled up in a corner holding her legs with her arms. Her body was shivering and her teeth were chattering. She gradually lost the ability to think
She didn't know how much time has passed when the door
was suddenly opened up and it fell onto the ground. Dust
was flying everywhere, and light was restored in the room.
"Karen-"
Karen Daly could hear someone calling her name. It was a warm and familiar voice, both low and deep at the same
time. It was the most amazing voice that she's ever heard in her life.
She opened her mouth and wanted to call out to him only to find that her body was filled with fear and anxiety, and she couldn't say anything.
Kevin Kyle did a quick scan of the room as he entered, pacing quickly towards her and engulfed her shaking body into his embrace, "Karen Daly, don't be scared. It's okay now.
Being held in Kevin Kyle's arms, Karen Daly found that she
had long turned into a puddle. She was no longer scared
though, because she had him right by her side.
She couldn't recall much about their relationship, but she would no longer feel doubtful of his actions towards her and neither would she doubt her feelings for him anymore.
If he had other intentions, he wouldn't be able to give her
such a great sense of security
Even though she couldn't remember that she used to be his
wife, her heart was undoubtedly and unknowingly drawn
towards him.
How could you not fall for such a kind gentle and
considerate man?
It took a while before Karen Daly lifted her head and she was met with the concerned and loving eyes of Kevin Kyle, which made her heart ache.
She said, "Kevin Kyle, I'm so sorry! I won't let you worry about me ever again."
Regardless of her memory, Karen Daly wanted him. She wanted to be his wife, wanted him to hold her hand and to
never let go.
"It's okay now, let's go." Kevin Kyle kissed her forehead, grabbed her by the waist and walked her out of the room.
Sitting in the car, Karen Daly turned around to look back at the place where she used to live. The sky was starting to get dark. Since the house had been left vacant for a long time, the yard was overgrown with weeds, it gave off an eerie vibe of desolation.
Kevin Kyle ordered the chauffeur to drive off. He went silent after that His gaze was dark, as if he was angry about
something.
Chapter 284
Kristine Daly, who was standing in the dark, saw Karen Daly being taken away by Kevin Kyle. Tears began welling up in her eyes as she watched their car drive off.
After so many years, Kevin Kyle's love for Karen Daly remained, maybe even more than before. You could tell that
from the way he got nervous about her.
Kevin Kyle showed up not long after Karen Daly came to the house. Maybe he couldn't stand to be apart from her.
In the absence of Karen Daly, Kevin Kyle could be seen appearing everywhere in the news, the TV and even the Internet
For a man who had never been on TV, never been in front of the camera, and was mysterious to the public, he would change at such great measures for Karen Daly.
Did she know how lucky she was to have met a man like
him?
Kristine Daly had thought about it countless of times before.
If only she'd worked harder last time, if only she hadn't returned to Beaford City to fight over Charlie Gook, the scumbag, then maybe all the love and care that Karen Daly was receiving would have belonged to her instead.
"That man will never belong to you. Why don't you look at me more instead of dreaming about him." There was a snicker, and Kristine Daly was pulled into a pair of strong arms by force. She met his devilish eyes when she lifted her head up to see who it was.
Kristine Daly raised her feeble arms and patted twice on his chest, smiling gently as she said, "Mr. Wilis, you're a phoenix and I'm just a little sparrow. How dare I fantasize about you?"
"You know it's not that, but it's because you never know when to stop. Back then when Karen Daly was in a relationship with Charlie Gook, you fought with your sister over him. Then Karen Daly married Kevin Kyle, and you wanted Kevin Kyle too. You don't really love those men, you just got used to snatching things that belongs to Karen Daly."
Mr. Wilis looked at Kristine Daly as he pointed out her
thoughts mercilessly. They had been working together for a few years now, and he thought that he could read this woman like the back of his hand.
"Haha." Kristine Daly replied Mr. Wilis with a sneer.
There was never a need to explain your circumstances to the ones who believe in you. As for those who don't believe you, they would never believe you, no matter how much you try to explain to them.
"You don't think so?" Mr. Wilis smiled, as he lifted Kristine Daly's chin and said, "Then what was that just now?"
Kristine Daly patted on his chest again and said, "I was just happy."
To Kristine Daly, Mr. Wilis was merely a business partner and she never felt the obligation to share her thoughts with
him.
Karen Daly had grown up with a stubborn temperament ever since she was a little girl. Once she has made up her mind, nothing could stop her. It was also because of this stubbornness of hers, that she was punished a lot.
After every screw up, Karen Daly would most of the time locked up in the storage room by Samuel Daly and she'd
only be able to come out of it if she admitted to being
wrong.
Stubbornness did not get her very far. Karen Daly never learned how to butter people up, especially Samuel Daly. So she was locked up a lot, usually for the whole night and no one could get to her.
The storage room would have been a nightmare to Karen Daly's childhood, so Kristine Daly just wanted to test out and
see if Karen Daly had in fact lost her memories. Just that,
and nothing else.
Kristine Daly used to think that everything that belonged to Karen Daly should belong to her. She had a mentality of jealousy and hatred. But now she was just envious of Kevin
Kyle's care towards her.
Mr. Wilis grabbed Kristine Daly by the hand and said with a
faint smile on his face, "Kristine Daly, was I too permissive with you that you're starting to become more and more unruly in front of me?"
"Not at all." Kristine Daly shrugged his hand off and turned to leave as she said, "Mr. Wilis, we're merely business partners. Please keep that in mind, and I will not forget what kind of a woman I am."
You tend to see through things after going through a lot, and
the same goes for fame and reputation. The most important thing was to live a good life, and that was the kind of person
that Kristine Daly was mow.
She had crossed paths with death before, and a lot a lot
people. She had finally figured it all out.
Life was really short. So you should enjoy it while you're still alive, and be the best person that you can be instead of scheming against other people and fighting for things that don't belong to you in the first place.
Mr. Wilis glanced at Kristine Daly who was walking further and further away and the smile in his eyes perished, only
darkness remained.
He didn't know when it started, that he'd begun craving for this woman.
The feeling was so strong that he couldn't control it. The desire of wanting her was like a wild horse being let loose
of its reins, running wild in the fields.
What's even more hateful was that the woman who had been trampled on by men, who was locked up in a psychiatric hospital, and was disfigured, told him that he
was not her type.
A woman who was had her self-worth trampled on by so many people before, pretending to be better than him in front of him.
Ever since he overthrew the Gook family, and achieved a
gradual development in his family business, he had received
numerous invitations and insinuations from the ladies in Beaford City
He was a businessman, and a shrewd one at that.
The society had gotten more open-minded nowadays, no one would care about your background as long as you could
make money.
But that was not entirely true either. They mostly just pretended that status and family did not matter, but they would definitely judge you behind your back.
So when a particular lady from a noble family in Beaford City courted him, he had accepted it.
As for Kristine Daly, he wanted her too.
Judging by Kristine Daly's personality, she was not really turning his advances down. Maybe she's just trying to play
hard-to-get
Since he was very interested in her, he'd play the game that
she wanted to play
The car had been on the road for quite some time, and Kevin
Kyle still had his moody face on. Neither did he utter a
single word, nor did he even steal a glance at Karen Daly.
Karen Daly noticed Kevin Kyle's gloominess. She saw how
the veins showed on his forehead, his clenched fists and
how he was trying very hard to hold it in. Her heart ached.
She scooted over to Kevin Kyle's side, and reached her hand out cautiously to hold Kevin Kyle's fist in her hand, "Kevin..."
Karen Daly wished for Kevin Kyle to express the anger in his
heart, even if that meant for him to yell at her. She just didn't
want him to be too harsh on himself.
She'd feel bad if he had to hold everything in.
Kevin Kyle was still ignoring her. He remained silent as his face looked even gloomier, like he was holding so much in that he was about to burst.
Karen Daly was beginning to lose her mind seeing Kevin Kyle continue to ignore her. Just as she was about to pull her hand away, Kevin Kyle grabbed it.
Karen Daly looked up at him, but he still continued to ignore her. So she just sat quietly beside him.
Once they got back to the hotel and the doors closed behind them, Kevin Kyle turned around and pressed Karen Daly's body to the door. He then began kissing her passionately.
Kevin Kyle stood at more than six feet tall, while Karen Daly was nearly a head shorter than he was. Naturally, Karen Daly
could not resist Kevin Kyle's strength.
Chapter 285
Karen Daly couldn't resist Kevin Kyle at all, having been overpowered by him. Her lips were also sealed by his kisses, and she couldn't even get more than a syllable out of
her mouth.
His kiss was domineering and strong, with a sense of
fierceness that appeared to have been suppressed for a
long time.
Out of instinct, Karen Daly wanted to fight back to get out of Kevin Kyle's shackles. But he was so strong, and his kisses were so passionate that Karen Daly couldn't escape at all.
All she could do was let out a series of whines.
Kevin Kyle swallowed her cry for help. It seemed like he was letting all his years of yearning and sadness out with his action.
Why couldn't she remember him?
Why did she leave him wandering back and forth, and alone in the past, when she'd just forgotten about their past?
Kevin Kyle poured all of his emotions in the kiss. The deeper it got, the more ruthless he became. Gradually, his hands became restless as they sneaked their way under Karen Daly's shirt.
His hands were warm, grazing against Karen Daly's ice cold
skin.
She was still whining, her tone was weak yet sharp as a knife.
She had been trying to struggle free as well. Her frail grip barely helped her, but every time she tried to fight back, Kevin Kyle got angrier.
"Enough!" Then out of the blue, Kevin Kyle let out a loud cry his voice resonating off the walls.
Karen Daly had never heard Kevin Kyle this loud before, ever since she had known him. It was loud indeed, but with a hint of lingering sadness... Karen Daly's struggling halted. She just watched him with fear, doubt and grief...
Kevin Kyle was looking at her as well, as if he had a million
things he wanted to say but he didn't.
Yearning, desire, blame, adoration... So many emotions in his eyes, yet not a single sound could be heard.
Karen Daly felt like she was out of breath and only wished to hold onto him as tight as she could. Regardless of his pasts, regardless of his fears.
It was at this moment that Kevin Kyle lowered his head and gave her a light peck on the forehead, as gentle as a breeze blowing on her face.
Karen Daly didn't fight him off, but let herself indulge in Kevin Kyle's delicate kiss on her forehead. Then it went to the tip of her nose, her lips until finally he landed on her ear.
"Look at me, Karen Daly!"
His voice was as beautiful as the summer's breeze,
For a while there, her heart was beating so fast in her chest.
Karen Daly couldn't help but to let out a hum.
"Oh.." Kevin Kyle sounded satisfied, and he smiled softly
beside her ear.
It was so seductive it could make one blush.
Then came the next wave of Kevin Kyle's kisses!
No longer fierce and deranged, but with endless affection, coupled with his usual dominance. Karen Daly stopped resisting at once. Her clear and bright gaze followed Kevin Kyle's eyes closely.
Look at me.
Yes, I will keep my gaze on you, always, following you around until the day that you die. Karen thought.
Karen Daly's shirt was ripped open, her fair complexion was
exposed to the cold air. But she wasn't cold, because his warm hands were grazing against her skin.
She'd thought about a lot of things prior to coming to Beaford City, including her past, and her future. But in hindsight, it seemed ridiculous now.
She liked him, whether it was in the past or in the future, and whether her memories were back or not... Even if she were to do it all over again, she still would've fallen for him
The fact was obvious. This was the truth.
But was that enough?
Karen Daly stretched her hands out and wrapped them tightly around Kevin Kyle's neck. They were breathing in sync, but it still didn't seem enough for her.
It wasn't close enough, and she wanted to get even closer.
She wanted to take a walk into his heart, to look at his past, and to be with him til the end of the world.
It was so hot in the summer, that they were both about to
melt.
Karen Daly held onto Kevin Kyle as tight as she could while they continued being passionate. When she had reached her climax, she finally spoke in her soft voice, "Kevin Kyle, 1 like you."
I
like you so much! So much!
She couldn't begin to imagine how she'd survived in the days she didn't have him.
In turn, Kevin Kyle responded to her words, by going at it more passionately.
The night was descending, but the heat in the room was just
getting started.
It was unclear how much time has passed, but to them, it
felt like an instant
It wasn't until Karen Daly felt weak on her knees that the atmosphere turned peaceful again.
She was very tired and sleepy. She was so sleepy that she
could fall asleep just by shutting her eyelids but she didn't want to let it happen. She wanted to hear more of Kevin Kyle's accelerating heartbeat, or just have a conversation with him as she wanted to listen to his voice.
Kevin Kyle held Karen Daly in his embrace, his hands patting her lightly on the back and he lowered his head to kiss her forehead. Then he asked, "Tired?"
Of course she was!
She was exhausted, so exhausted she could just pass out.
She'd never felt like this before.
But how could he expect her to answer such an
embarrassing question?
The man was evil. His usual noble and elegant look disappeared with his clothes, and he turned into a hungry werewolf, gnawing on her to the point where she couldn't fend him off.
Kevin Kyle lowered his head until he was making eye contact with her and asked, "Karen Daly, since you're not talking, can I take it that you're tired?"
Karen Daly lay on his bare chest and shook her head. She responded softly, "No."
"So you're not tired?"
"Bastard!"
Karen Daly gave him a pinch. What did he want? Doesn't he know that she gets easily embarrassed by these questions?
"Karen
"Hmm?"
"No, it's fine. Go to sleep." He patted her on the back, like cooing a child to sleep.
Karen Daly was indeed tired, having tortured by him, and she fell asleep in his arms a while later.
Kevin Kyle watched her sleep, and there was an
unspeakable sense of content in his heart. He was melting
It felt good to be able to have her back, and to be able to
hold her to sleep!
He'd waited day and night for three years for Karen Daly's return. And now he could finally hold her in his embrace, and
to adore her like never before.
Everything was so surreal, and she was really there right by
his side
It was at this moment, that he was sure that his Karen Daly
had returned to him.
He'd heard her just now, when she said that she liked him.
But he didn't say anything back.
Because her words ignited his passion towards her. He didn't know how to respond, so he responded through his
movements
"Karen, you said that you like me, and I do too."
He did not know how much she adored him, but he knew that he could never live without her.
"Kevin, I'll try harder, I will work harder.."
Karen Daly was muttering in her sleep, and Kevin Kyle held her even closer as he gently reprimanded her, "Silly girl!"
She could have just relied on him, but she didn't say anything to him and wanted to do things her way instead.

Chapter 271 After dinner, Little Karen dragged her father and Big Karen to take a walk with her. Little Karen was holding her father's hand with one hand and Big Karen's with the other. She was jumping along the way and felt very happy. Karen Daly looked at Little Karen and couldn't move her eyes away, as if her eyes were fixed on Little Karen. Kevin Kyle was observing Karen Daly throughout the whole walk. He wanted to guess what was on her mind, but it was of no use. Kevin Kyle did not want to mention anything about Samuel Daly to Karen Daly, because he did not want Karen Daly to get hurt before she could retrieve her memory. However, he did not expect that Karen Daly would look for Faye Reed after he had left her, just for a while. No one could replace Faye Reed's and Karen Daly's friendship. Over the years, Faye Reed always felt that Karen Daly was in that car accident because of her. She had been blaming herself for this matter, but she didn't know that there was a conspiracy behind that incident. Now that Karen Daly had returned, Faye Reed was very happy at first until she knew that Karen Daly couldn't remember anything. One could imagine how much Faye Reed hoped that Karen Daly could regain her memory and everything would be back to normal Kevin Kyle understood Faye Reed's feelings, but Faye did not realise that there were things that could not be rushed. In order to restore Karen Daly's memory, they could only guide her slowly. "Karen, slow down." Karen Daly pulled Little Karen, who was jumping around, and wiped the sweat on her forehead. "Look at you, you're sweaty." "Big Karen, you should wipe your face too." Little Karen stretched out her little hand and wiped Karen Daly's face sloppily. "You're really thoughtful." Karen Daly held Little Karen in her arms and kissed her again and again. She was reluctant to let her go. Kevin Kyle checked the time and realised that it was getting late, Little Karen should go to bed. He said, "Karen, you are now responsible for taking care of Little Karen at night, let her sleep with you." Karen Daly really wanted to take care of Little Karen and let Little Karen sleep with her, but she was still suffering from her withdrawal symptoms. She couldn't take Little Karen with her, as she couldn't afford to scare Little Karen. She shook her head and said, "Maybe a few days later." She could take good care of Little Karen after a few days later, when her drug addiction was over. "I want to sleep with Big Karen and daddy." Little Karen didn't care so much and blurted out her thoughts. Kevin Kyle looked at Karen Daly and saw that she did not object her request. He said, "Okay, let's sleep together with Big Karen then." Hearing her father's words, Little Karen was very happy. Later, she would let her father sleep on her left side and Big Karen would sleep on her right side. That sounded so blissful. Her classmate, Marius, said that his father slept on his left side and his mother slept on his right side. With the both of them protecting him on the sides, nothing scary could come close. Little Karen didn't have a mother and couldn't experience having a mother sleeping on her side, so she hit the little boy who showed off in front of her. After beating Marius, Marius burst into tears. Little Karen also cried after realising that the situation didn't look good. She cried loudly, even louder than Marius' crying, so the teachers thought that Marius had hit her instead. Looking at Marius being criticized by her teacher, Little Karen was very pleased. With Brother Lionel's protection, those children would not be able to bully her. After a shower, Little Karen seemed so energetic, and she rolled around on the bed. "If I roll to the left, I can roll into my father's arms. If I roll to the right, I can roll into Big Karen's arms." After getting a kiss from each side, Little Karen rolled more and more vigorously. After rolling a few times, she stopped. She held her father's hand with one hand and Big Karen's hand with the other. "From now on, the both of you will sleep with me." "Okay. we will sleep with you." Kevin Kyle carried the little girl on his body and patted her back. "Go to sleep, or you won't be able to get up tomorrow." "Kiss me again, Big Karen." Before going to bed every day, her father would give her a goodnight kiss, so Little Karen asked Big Karen to kiss her goodnight too. She could only have a good sleep after this. Karen Daly approached Little Karen and kissed her on her cheek. "Good night, Little Karen." "Big Karen, daddy, good night." Little Karen laid on her father's body. She had been playing for too long, so she was fast asleep after a while. Karen Daly only saw Kevin Kyle after Little Karen had fallen asleep. When she saw Kevin Kyle, she suddenly felt sorry for him and asked, "Kevin Kyle, have you been coaxing Little Karen to sleep like this all these years?" Kevin Kyle held Little Karen in one hand and held Karen Daly's hand in the other tightly. He said, "Karen Daly, you have missed some years in Little Karen's growth, let's make it up to her together in the future." "Yes." Karen Daly nodded. "I will." Kevin Kyle added, "Little Karen is very sensible. She usually falls asleep without thinking too much. It's just that it's a little difficult getting her up in the morning." Karen Daly reached out her hand and touched Little Karen's face. "I can't imagine how it's look like when the little girl refuses to get up." "Very cute." Kevin Kyle looked at Karen Daly and asked softly, "Do you want to hug her?" "I want to sleep with her in my arms." Karen Daly nodded, then she shook her head. "But I'm worried about..." "Don't worry. As long as you think about Little Karen, you won't think about anything else." Kevin Kyle handed Little Karen to Karen Daly and checked the time. It was already late today and Karen Daly did not exhibit any symptoms yet. It seemed that the treatment had been working after half a month. Karen Daly hugged Little Karen and looked at Little Karen's flushed face. Her heart was melting. "Kevin, our daughter is so cute." She was talking about our daughter". The person who spoke did not notice the gravity of this sentence, but Kevin Kyle did. He said, "Yes, our daughter." The stories about Little Karen that Kevin Kyle told Karen Daly were all pleasant and nice. He never mentioned what happened to Little Karen when she was very young. Little Karen was taken out of her mother's womb a month before the due date. She was in an incubator for nearly half a month due to the premature birth. She was also in poor health and would fall ill easily as she grew bigger, and she almost died. During that period, Kevin Kyle stayed by Little Karen's side day and night, looking for the best doctor, using the best medicine, and taking good care of her until Little Karen's condition had improved. His Karen Daly was gone, and so was Momo. There was only him and Little Karen left. Kevin Kyle felt like he was living in hell as he looked back at that time. After some time, he bought a Pomeranian dog and named it Momo too, so that it could grow up with Little Karen while they wait for Big Karen's return. It was because of Kevin Kyle's attentive care that Little Karen was so healthy and lively today.
Chapter 272 At the largest entertainment complex in Chatterton Town - Charm! There were people feasting and seeking pleasure in the debauched environment with loud music. The men and women were dressed in revealing clothes while shouting and swinging around on the dance floor. The private room upstairs was much quieter compared to the noise on the ground floor. Some people were here to drink and some people were here for business. There were many different kinds of customers here every night. It was not the first time for Mia Kyle to come to such a place, but it was the first time for her to come here to discuss a script. In the past, her script was personally handed over to her by her manager from Rovio Entertainment. If she liked it, she would accept it. If she did not like it, she would reject it. The quality of the films and TV series produced by Rovio Entertainment were guaranteed, but they were not good at promoting their actors. Normally, their TV series were far more popular than the individual actors. In the past few years, Mia Kyle had been featured in a lot of TV series, and also in some movies. Last year, she even won the Best Actress Award for a movie. Her popularity peaked at that moment. After being popular for a certain period, some people began to question her acting skills, saying that her role was simple and not challenging. Sh*t Mia Kyle rewatched the roles she had played in the past few years. Most of them were of similar roles and appearances, which was similar to her own image. There was indeed not much space for her to show off her acting skills. If she could notice the problem, others would also notice it. There were people on the Internet who edited her recent roles into a short video. They said that if it weren't for the different style of clothes, they would have thought that she was acting the same role in the same film. A large number of people attacked her acting skills after the edited video came out. After being attacked, those fans who did not understand her strayed away from her. Her popularity was falling, or it was declining sharply. Mia Kyle felt distressed just thinking about it. She was greatly impacted. Mia Kyle suffered a bigger blow when she saw a recent actress the same age as her attracted an unprecedentedly high attention. Mia Kyle decided to change her style. She did not want to play the role of a good girl anymore. She wanted to do a completely opposite character. Anyway, she had to be more open-minded and bold in this field. However, her manager was not willing to give her other roles, saying that the image she had built over the years with great efforts could not be ruined. Upon hearing her manager's words, Mia Kyle gave her manager an earful Her manager was one of her brother's staff, so she knew that her brother had some indirect control over these decisions. When Mia Kyle was worried about her own role and image, she received a call from a Director S, who said that he was going to shoot a new movie and was looking for a lead female actor. He thought that her image was quite suitable. As soon as she received the call from Director S, Mia Kyle did not think twice and secretly went to the appointment without Jacky Ball knowing. If Jacky Ball followed her, her brother would certainly find out, and then her dream of changing her image would be in vain. They first went to a restaurant for dinner and Mia Kyle paid for it. The meal costs thousands of dollars. Although Mia Kyle wasn't poor, it was definitely painful to spend so much on others. After dinner, they said they would like to have some fun, so they had chosen the most expensive entertainment centre in Chatterton Town. These bastards knew that they were not spending their own money. Hence, they wanted the most expensive private room, the best liquor in the house, and also a bunch of escorts to accompany them. Mia Kyle took a sip of wine and cursed in her heart, "Damned old bastard, you're not going to live long with this lifestyle." "Polaris, there are a lot of people who want to work with Director S. Now that he had given you a chance to audition, you should take full advantage of it." After drinking a few glasses of wine, the director's assistant sat next to Mia Kyle and tried to speak to her. "An audition? Where?" Mia Kyle's patience had been worn out. She could guarantee that she would hit someone at the slightest bit of inconvenience. The assistant passed a room card to Mia Kyle and whispered, "It's in this room. As long as Director S is satisfied, the role of the lead actress will go to you." After a night's worth of hassle, Mia Kyle finally understood that these old bastards wanted to play by an unspoken rule. They shouldn't think that she was really stupid just because she looked silly and sweet. These old bastards tried to harass her. She had to let them have a taste of the consequences of fooling with her. Director S was a well-known director in this field. His reputation was also very good and he made a lot of actors popular Those who had played the lead role in his movie gained a lot of fame and popularity. This was why Mia Kyle came over without thinking twice when she heard that he wanted her to take the role. At this moment, Mia Kyle was not in the mood to serve those bastards anymore. She was looking at the bill to check how much money she had spent today. She must let these bastards pay her back. "Polaris, why are you still standing there? Go ahead." The assistant pushed Mia Kyle and said, "This is such a good opportunity. If you miss it, I'm afraid you won't be able to have another chance for the rest of your life." Mia Kyle dialed Neil Brown's phone quietly and said, "Please cough up roughly five hundred thousand dollars in total." The assistant asked, "What?" Mia Kyle said, "It's for tonight's expenses." The assistant said, "Polaris, are you crazy? Don't you want to stay in this industry?" Mia Kyle sneered and said, "I'm very sober. I won't be fooled by you." Over the years, it was always her who would normally lie to people, no one could lie to her. Five hundred thousand dollars, she would get back whatever she paid for them. She couldn't let these old bastards take advantage of even a single penny. As soon as Mia Kyle caused a scene, the people in the room looked over immediately. One of them said, "Yo, you willingly joined us tonight. Don't make a fuss now." Mia Kyle said, "Pay me back the money, then I can pretend that nothing has happened. If you pay less, none of you can survive in this industry in the future." Mia Kyle was telling the truth, but no one would believe that she was capable of doing that. If someone were to believe her capabilities, then Mia Kyle would not be invited here at the first place. "Ha ha ha..." They were all laughing at Mia Kyle, laughing at her stupidity, laughing at her foolishness, laughing at her arrogant attitude in the face of disaster. Someone stood up and said, "Polaris, do you know who is sitting in front of you?" Mia Kyle raised her eyebrows and glanced at the man they were talking about. Only then she noticed that there was a handsome man sitting here. But so what if he was good-looking? He was still far worse than her Neil Brown. She snorted disdainfully, "I don't care who you are. As long as you give me back my money, everything will be fine."
Chapter 273 "Little girl, you have been in Chatterton Town for a long time, haven't you? Don't you know who you can't offend in Chatterton Town?" Seeing Mia Kyle's arrogant attitude, some people wanted to give her some advice. Otherwise, she would not understand what trouble was she in. "Who is the person who can't be provoked in Chatterton Town?" Mia Kyle really couldn't think of any person who couldn't be provoked in Chatterton Town as she had always acted according to her own liking. Because no matter what she did, no matter how uncontrollable the situation was, there would always be someone behind her to clean up the mess, so she never knew how to control her temper. This person lent her some kind words, "Leo Kyle from Rovio Corporation Inc, Neil Brown, who is in charge of the military of Chatterton Town, and our mayor's son, Master Perth." "Neil Brown can't be provoked?" Mia thought. Mia Kyle was provoking him every day, and he couldn't do anything to her. The most miserable thing was that she was beaten badly by his men last time. In the end, Neil Brown still stood by her side and treated her nicely Her very own cold brother, in addition to being very good to Little Karen and Big Karen, was also very good to her. Although he took care of a lot of things and was quite strict with her, it was always for her own good. Among the three big shots who couldn't be provoked in Chatterton Town, two of them were people that Mia Kyle were very close to. She had been playing around with them since she was young. They had been treating her nicely and preciously ever since she was young. As for the son of the mayor, Mia Kyle really didn't know him. Over the years, she had spent all her time with Neil Brown except when she was filming. She had no time to think about anything else and could not tolerate other men in her eyes. Mia Kyle arranged her thoughts quickly. After some time, she soon guessed that the good-looking man in front of her should be the son of the mayor, Master Perth, whom they mentioned. Mia Kyle looked at him and said, "You must be one of those top figures in the city then. Well, I'm guessing that you definitely wouldn't let a hard worker like me pay this bill." "What's going on? How can you let such a beautiful girl pay the bill?" The man who was surrounded by everyone stared at Mia Kyle and finally spoke. One of his subordinates said, "Master Perth... The man waved his hand to stop his subordinates from talking, and then he said, "Return the money to this beautiful girl, five hundred thousand dollars, every single penny of it." "Yes." Mia Kyle received the amount she had spent this evening in her account within a few minutes. Looking at the figures on the her mobile phone, she smiled and said, "Master Perth, you are indeed one of the top three powerful people in Chatterton Town who can't be messed with. You are forthright when dealing with things. You can come to me if you need my help in the future, as long as you don't bring these bastards along." "I also like to make friends with generous people." The man looked at her, smiled gently and said, "Let me propose a toast to you and apologise on behalf of everyone. Let's pretend that nothing unpleasant happened tonight." The man said sincerely. He raised his glass and finished his drink. He said, "I'll toast first." Mia Kyle was also a generous and bold person. She took over the glass of liquor passed by his subordinates. She said, "I have never forgiven anyone so easily in the past. Today, i'll make an exception because of your good looks and generosity, Master Perth." The man nodded, as if he accepted Mia Kyle's compliment. "Since the money has been returned, and I've accompanied you all enough, I should go now." Mia Kyle waved to the man and said, "Master Perth, see you again!" The man looked at Mia Kyle and smiled without saying anything. His eyes were deep and unfathomable. Mia Kyle turned around and suddenly found that her feet were so heavy that she couldn't move at all, as if they were planted to the ground. Besides, her head was also dizzy. Her vision gradually became blurred, and these people in front of her seemed to be going around in circles. "F**k! You f*cking drugged me." Mia Kyle gritted her teeth. She had heard of this kind of thing, but she didn't expect that she would encounter it. She had been working with Neil Brown and Kevin Kyle since she was a child. She didn't expect that she would be defeated by such a few losers today. One of them said, "Master Perth, this little girl is really hot tempered. She can still remain calm at this time." "How are you spike my drink. You'll see what I can do." Mia Kyle tried to keep her eyes wide open and was trying to keep her head clear. "Hahaha. The people around her laughed again, which was louder and more arrogant than before. "Since she threatened us, it's better for us to take her clothes off first." "Take off my clothes? Any fingers near me will be chopped off!" Mia Kyle was still very arrogant, but she was panicking in her heart. She hadn't encountered such a thing, and she didn't know what kind of drug these bastards had given her. Her head was getting more and more dizzy that she couldn't think anymore. Their voices were so close but she couldn't hear what they said. She subconsciously held her mobile phone in her pocket. She didn't know if the previous call went through to Neil Brown's phone, whether he had answered it, and whether he would come to save her... When Mia Kyle was thinking of Neil Brown, her head slowly turned blank. Her body went limp and she fell to the ground. In her mind, she was plotting revenge. Looking at Mia Kyle who collapsed on the ground, the others stopped laughing. Everyone looked at the man and asked, "Master, how do we deal with this girl?" The man got up and walked to Mia Kyle's side and bent down. He pinched her chin and slightly raised her head. He stared at her again and again, as if there was something on Mia Kyle's face. After looking at it for a long time, the man said, "Send her to my room." The men exchanged looks and walked up to carry Mia Kyle. At this moment, the door was kicked open violently. With another kick, the thick wooden door fell apart, and then the tall figure of Neil Brown appeared in front of them. Neil Brown suddenly appeared, which made everyone else stepped back in fear. "Captain Brown, it's you." The man in front smiled and said, "I heard that you would never come to such a place. Why are you here today? Neil Brown grabbed Mia Kyle and carried her on his shoulder. His sharp eyes swept around the room like a cheetah In just a second, Neil Brown scanned everyone's face, and especially those whom he knew.
Chapter 274 The man in the lead said, "I heard that you never get close to women. Why did you come to my place to snatch my person?" "I'll do whatever I want. What kind of reason do I need to give?" Neil Brown replied coldly. The man looked at Neil Brown and said provocatively, "Captain Brown, there are rules to follow. If you want to snatch a woman from me, you'll have to ask my men." "Hmm." Neil Brown snorted, "How many people are here? Just come and fight me then instead of spewing nonsense." The fact that they drugged Mia Kyle was already crossing his boundaries, yet they wanted to challenge him too. Neil Brown grew up in the army and had already trained himself well. Even if he didn't hit anyone, their hands would hurt from hitting him. The man waved his hand, and several men attacked Neil Brown together. Neil Brown kicked them away. He effortlessly kicked those men away and they collapsed instantly. He even stepped on a man's back. Neil Brown looked at the main man and said coldly, "Perth, no one will stand in your way if you want to play with women. Just be cautious in the future." After saying that, Neil Brown walked away while carrying Mia Kyle, leaving everyone in the room looking at each other in dismay. When Neil Brown walked far away, one of them asked, "Master, why was Neil Brown here suddenly?" "That little girl was not stupid. She called Neil Brown before causing a scene." The man said. The man was admiring Mia Kyle's courage, but although she was courageous, she still lacked some brains. He barely touched her and just spiked her drink, yet she fell for it. Mia Kyle, who had lost consciousness for a long time, was lying on the shoulder of Neil Brown, swaying from side to side. She was unconscious. Neil Brown put her into the car and drove Mia Kyle to his house in the central area of Chatterton Town. This was the house he had bought for himself to stay during his leisure time. Neil Brown was the only one left in his family, and he lived in the military base almost everyday. He would only come back for a few days during his days off. It would take a long time to drive here from the military region. It would be a waste of time for Neil Brown to travel to and fro. After carrying Mia Kyle home, he threw her onto the sofa. He then turned around and went to the bathroom without looking at her. He opened the faucet and filled the bathtub with water. He went back to the living room and picked Mia Kyle up, it was as easy as picking up a pet. He put her into the bathtub. Neil Brown pressed Mia Kyle's head into the water, and only brought her back out after a while. Mia Kyle coughed and spat out a mouthful of water. She had woken up. Before she could figure out what was going on, she scolded, "F**k, you old bastards, how dare you drug me? You wish to die, don't you?" She scolded and waved her hand in the air. "Bastard, wait for me. I'll cripple you up so that you can no longer harm others." "Mia Kyle!" Neil Brown's voice came from above her head, which made Mia Kyle shiver. She looked up and said, "Neil Brown, don't make a sound. I'll deal with those old bastards first, and then i'll accompany you." "Mia Kyle, is something wrong with your brain?" Neil Brown threw a towel to her and said, "Please wash yourself up!" Mia Kyle didn't realise that she was soaked in the bathtub until she caught the towel thrown by Neil Brown. Her thin clothes were wrapped tightly to her body, and the beautiful skin and curves of her body were completely exposed to him. Mia Kyle deliberately puffed out her chest and coughed softly, "Neil Brown, I was drugged just now. My legs and whole body were weak. I don't have the strength to stand up. Help me." Neil Brown glanced at her and leaned against the sink. He said slowly, "You're in a pool of cold water. Continue being in it if you're not afraid of the cold. I don't have any objections." "F**k, are you a man or not?" Mia Kyle was a little excited at first, but when she recalled that he didn't even look at her, the little excitement was vanished. Neil Brown then looked at her and didn't say a word. Mia Kyle pouted her lips and said discontentedly, "Neil, I called you so early, but you didn't come to save me before I was drugged. It's really unforgivable." Neil Brown said, "I was not going there to save you, I was there to see you make a fool of yourself. Let's see how foolish you were to be set up by those people." "Everyone will make mistakes, and I'm just a little girl." Mia Kyle suddenly jumped up from the bathtub and rushed to Neil Brown to hug him tightly. "Neil Brown, don't be stubborn. Is it so difficult for you to admit that you like me?" Neil Brown forcefully let go of her and pushed her away, saying, "I cannot control how you think about it and I don't care." Mia Kyle rushed to him again and hugged him tightly. "Neil you've brought me to your house. Don't pretend anymore. If you want to sleep with me, just say it. Don't worry, I won't reject you." Neil Brown said, "My sister is in poor health and she still treats you like her own daughter. If something happens to you, how long do you think she can live?" "So that's the reason why you took care of me and came to save me?" Mia Kyle blinked and a drop of tear rolled down from the corner of her eyes, she had been greatly hurt. If others saw her like this, they would definitely be deceived by her superb acting skills. But Neil Brown was different. He was the man who often fought with her. He could read through her intentions. "Stop acting. I won't be tricked." After saying that, Neil Brown turned around and left. Mia Kyle lifted her foot and kicked him. Neil Brown didn't walk fast, so she kicked his ass, which made her laugh. "I'll let you pretend to be a nice person, and let's see how long you can keep pretending." Mia Kyle wiped her body with the towel. Her clothes were see-through from being drenched in water, but she didn't mind. She then sat beside Neil Brown. She stretched out her hand to touch him. Neil Brown grabbed her hand and said sternly, "Mia Kyle, you are not young anymore. No one can take care of you for the rest of your life. You have to learn to grow up." "No matter how old I am, I can't be older than you." Since her hand was caught, she then squeezed her whole body against his. "Marry me please. If you marry me, I will be a wife and a mother. Maybe I will grow up and be sensible then."
Chapter 275 Mia Kyle had never treated herself as a girl in front of Neil Brown She was like a female warrior, she kept working hard to win the battle against Neil Brown and tried her best to get him. She had been working hard for a long time, but she had been circling around in the same place. There was no progress at all. At first, Mia Kyle was not in a hurry and felt that she had plenty of time to play with him, but she didn't think so now. Time passed quickly before she knew it. She had to find a way to knock him down and "eat" him first. In the past few days, she had watched a lot of love action movies and learned a lot of seductive skills from the actor. Today, she could use Neil Brown to practice her skills She felt that her learning ability was very strong. As long as she threw herself at Neil Brown, she would definitely wipe him out. However, before she could start, she was grabbed by Neil Brown and thrown to the other side of the sofa. Mia Kyle was so angry that she gritted her teeth and scolded, "Neil Brown, you bastard, can't you be a little gentler?" Neil Brown glanced at her and said, "Jacky Ball is coming soon. If you want to be someone's wife or a mother, find him. I think he wouldn't mind." "Hmph.." Mia Kyle glared at him, rolled her eyes and came up with a new idea. "Neil Brown, do you know what kind of drug those people used earlier?" Judging by her reactions, it probably was just a form of sedative. Neil Brown was familiar with this kind of drug. Neil Brown knew what she was thinking from the moment she rolled her eyes. He said, "Go back with Jacky Ball and don't think too much." "No, I want to sleep with you." Mia Kyle rushed to him again when he didn't pay attention to her. But he moved too fast and she missed him. Mia Kyle still wanted to say something, but the doorbell rang. Damn it, it seemed that Jacky Ball had arrived. Neil Brown went to open the door. As expected, Jacky Ball showed up outside. After greeting Neil Brown politely, he said, "Polaris, i'm here to pick you up." Mia Kyle grabbed the pillow on the sofa and threw it at Jacky Ball. She said angrily, "Jacky Ball, how can you be so stupid? You have been with me for so many years. Don't you know what I'm thinking about?" Of course Jacky Ball knew what Mia Kyle was thinking, but Neil Brown had called him to pick her up, so it was impossible for him not to show up. Besides, Neil Brown was legally, Mia Kyle's adoptive uncle. It would be a mess if there was really something going on between them Mia Kyle left with Jacky Ball reluctantly. She stepped forward and glared at Jacky Ball fiercely. Her eyes were so sharp that they could kill. Jacky Ball lowered his head and did not dare to utter a word. If he were to speak up, he would definitely be beaten up by Mia Kyle as a punching bag. As soon as she got on the car, Mia Kyle's cell phone rang. She looked at it, when she saw the caller ID on the screen, she smiled happily and picked it up, "Grandpa, it's so late. Haven't you slept yet?" "I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much that I can't sleep." Grandpa Kyle's voice came through the phone to Mia Kyle's ears. "Grandpa, sorry, it's my fault." Hearing Grandpa Kyle's voice, Mia Kyle felt bad. She promised to return to the United States to see her grandfather days ago, but she didn't. She spent all her energy to pursue Neil Brown. "Silly child, you are my joy. How can you blame yourself?" "Grandpa, I won't be filming these days. I'll ask someone to book a flight right away. I'll take a plane back to the United States to see you tomorrow." "Mia, if you want to accompany me, you don't have to go to the United States. Just wait in Chatterton Town." "Grandpa, are you here in Chatterton Town?" "I have some things to deal with. After that, I will head to Chatterton Town for a few days." "Grandpa, since you're coming to Chatterton Town, I'll tell you a piece of good news in advance." "What good news?" "Sister-in-law, that we thought had passed away three years ago came back alive. Although she lost her memory, it was so good to see her again." "Grandpa, don't you think it's amazing? It was you who said that sister-in-law's body had been cremated. How did she survive?" "Mia, it's been a while, and I don't really think too much. But since your brother cares so much about your sister-in-law, it's good for her to come back." Grandpa Kyle replied. "After she came back, Kevin smiled a lot more and won't push people away like what he did before." Mia said. Grandpa Kyle asked, "Did your sister-in-law regain her memory?" Mia Kyle shook her head and said, "She hasn't yet, she doesn't even know me." "Well, I see." Grandpa Kyle sighed and said, "It's getting late. Go home and rest early after you get home." Mia Kyle asked, "Grandpa, how do you know I haven't arrived home yet?" "." Grandpa Kyle paused for a moment and said, "I can hear it from your voice. Besides, a little devil like you won't be home so early anyway." Of course, he would not tell Mia Kyle that he was sitting in the car located near Neil Brown's house and watching her After the call with Mia Kyle, the person invited by Grandpa Kyle had arrived. He asked the driver to open the door, and Neil Brown sat down next to him in the back seat. Grandpa Kyle asked, "How's the investigation coming along?" Neil Brown said, "I don't have any clue." Grandpa Kyle said, "If we don't figure out this matter, we can't get rid of Samuel Daly. If we can't get rid of him, the secret may be exposed to the public at any time." Neil Brown knew the magnitude of the matter, but it was not so easy to find anything without any clues. Grandpa Kyle said again, "Now with the Internet that can spread news so quickly, if the news were to be leaked out, we can't save it no matter how hard we try." Neil Brown said, "I will work hard." Samuel Daly could schedule an e-mail draft to be sent out in the future, which was then possible to reveal this news even after his death. There were so many methods. Neil Brown also could not simply approach anyone to investigate this. This matter had gotten incredibly complex. However, no matter how difficult it was, he would try his best to investigate so that they could protect the person they wanted to protect. As long as they learn the way Samuel Daly would use to expose that news, it would not be difficult for them to deal with Samuel Daly. And at this moment, Samuel Daly was still daydreaming, hoping to get the money and power that he had dreamed of, and make the Daly family proud.
Chapter 276 Because she wanted to take care of Little Karen better, because she wanted to quickly regain her past memory, and because she wanted to return to Kevin Kyle and Little Karen as Mrs. Kyle badly... Karen Daly's perseverance in her drug rehabilitation was stronger than anything else. For a few days in a row, she did not experience any relapse, and her mental condition had improved a lot A Children's Day celebration was coming up in a couple of days, and Karen Daly was finishing up the clothes she made for Little Karen Because it was her first time making clothes for her daughter, Karen Daly really put in a ton of effort. She made two beautiful dresses and a suit, so that Little Karen would have more fashion choices. She could either be a beautiful little princess or act like a handsome boy. Karen Daly held the clothes and couldn't stop looking at them. She could already imagine how cute Little Karen would look when she wore them. Every time she thought about how she was the one who gave birth to Little Karen, Karen Daly felt an immense warmth. She was not alone. She had her own child, Little Karen. Just as Karen Daly was engrossed in her thoughts, the phone beside her started to buzz. She shook off her thoughts and saw the most familiar contact number on the phone screen-Father. She didn't want to answer the phone, but after some consideration, she decided that she wanted to hear what Samuel Daly had to say, so she picked up the call. As soon as Karen Daly answered the phone, she heard Samuel Daly speak with concern, "Karen, I am back. You are not at home nor at the company. Where did you go? I'm very worried about you." If she didn't know that she was drugged by him, Karen Daly would have been deceived by the kind act Samuel Daly was putting on Karen Daly used to feel so happy every time she heard Samuel Daly's voice. While she had lost her memory and everything in the past, there was still a father who cared so much about her and stayed by her side to give her strength. But now, Karen Daly only found his voice to be fake and hollow. She didn't even care much to respond. "What's wrong, Karen? Why aren't you speaking? Are you unwell?" Samuel Daly kept asking, demonstrating his concern for Karen Daly. Karen Daly took a deep breath and said, "I'm fine. What can I do for you?" Karen Daly's unaffectionate reply proved Samuel Daly's suspicion. Karen Daly mentioned losing her medicine when they were on the phone a few days ago, she probably already knew that he had added morphine to her medication. After figuring that out, Samuel Daly said, "Karen, since I'm back. shouldn't you come home?" Karen Daly thought for a while. There were some things that she wanted to ask him face to face. After a moment of silence, she replied, "I'll go back soon." Karen Daly washed and hung Little Karen's new clothes, then packed up some clothes to go over to Samuel Daly's house When she got there, Karen Daly could already smell the broth from the doorstep, much like in the past. She used to be elated smelling this, but now she felt like Samuel Daly was only doing this to get in her good books, and not actually because he cared for her. With the others like Kevin Kyle and Faye Reed, she could feel that they cared for her sincerely. It was very different with her father. Women have very accurate sixth senses, and Karen Daly believed in her own sixth sense. Just like how she felt Little Karen was familiar at first sight. "Karen, you're back." Samuel Daly greeted her. "Mhmm." Karen Daly nodded and didn't want to say anything else. "I cooked your favorite soup and dishes. Take a seat, the food will be served soon." After saying that, Samuel Daly turned and went to the kitchen. Samuel Daly acted as if he didn't notice Karen Daly's abnormal mood. He was still as kind as he had been to Karen Daly for the past three years. He was aware that Karen Daly was suspecting him. And it was precisely because of her suspicion, that he wanted to put up more of an act. As long as Karen Daly hasn't regained her memories, he could grab every opportunity to use her against Kevin Kyle. Now was not the time for him to confess about drugging her. He wanted to wait for Karen Daly to ask about it. As long as she initiated the conversation, Samuel Daly had the chance to regain her trust. Samuel Daly served Karen Daly a bowl of her favourite soup, "Karen, I know you can't stand being hungry. Have some soup first." Karen Daly did not take the soup. She stared firmly at Samuel Daly and asked, "Why did you drug me?" Karen Daly did not even greet him well, and she spoke in a cold tone. Samuel Daly knew Karen Daly had already learnt that he was the one who drugged her. But it didn't matter. He had long prepared to deal with this. Samuel Daly pretended to be sad and sighed. "You already know? Did Kevin Kyle tell you?" Before Karen Daly could speak, Samuel Daly continued, "1 wanted to keep it a secret from you, but it seems like I can't hide it anymore." "Keep it a secret from me?" Karen Daly was shaking, "Even if you could keep it a secret for now, I would find out some day, right? Samuel Daly added, "Karen, do you know why I had to give you the drugs? Do you still remember that you had been bedridden for a year?" Of course Karen Daly remembered that. It was a problem for her to even get out of bed and walk at that time, and she was not very conscious of what was going on. She felt that she had been to hell and came back to life. "Do you really think you were sick?" Samuel Daly shook his head, clutched his chest and said, "No, Karen. You weren't sick. The truth was, you were injected with a chemical." Karen Daly was stunned and asked, "What chemical?" Samuel Daly gritted his teeth and put on a suffering expression. After a long while, he said gently, "Anyone who gets injected with that chemical, would have a 50% chance of death, and a 50% chance of memory loss if they lived." After hearing Samuel Daly's words, Karen Daly felt extremely shocked. She recovered after a while and asked, "So the reason why I lost my memory was not because of an illness but instead, it was due to the chemical injection?" Around that time, she should have been pregnant with Little Karen. Or maybe she had just given birth. Who would have done this to her? Samuel Daly said firmly, "Yes." Karen Daly asked, "Who was it? Why did they do it?" "Because we came from an ordinary family with an ordinary background, we are not worthy to be in the Kyle family. They simply needed someone to conceive their child. Once you gave birth, they didn't need you anymore. Samuel Daly teared up as he said this, and slapped himself hard, "I'm sorry, Karen. It was my fault. I wasn't successful enough that you had to go through this.
Chapter 277 Samuel Daly continued with tears streaming down his face, "The Kyle family wanted children, but they don't want the children to know that they have such an ordinary mother. The easiest way was to kill you, so they injected you with the chemical that the military used against spies. They wanted you dead, but you were lucky. You survived." Samuel Daly's spoke with emotion, and Karen Daly could not resist feeling sad when she heard it. But if what he said was true, why did Kevin Kyle bother getting close to her? Why did he tell her that Little Karen was their child? If the Kyle family simply wanted children, Kevin Kyle could probably get any woman he wanted. There would be tons of women willing to conceive his child. Why did he choose her? Karen Daly still had doubts in her mind, but she did not show it. She looked at Samuel Daly with a calm expression. Samuel Daly shifted away his gaze, avoiding eye contact. Karen Daly took a deep breath and asked, "Then how are you going to explain why my mother died because of you?" Samuel Daly did not expect Karen Daly to suddenly ask about the cause of her mother's death. He was a little flustered, but soon regained his composure. He was a very cunning person, and soon came up with a reply. He wiped his tears and said sadly, "Karen, you would rather believe in a person who has nothing to do with you, more than you trust me?" Karen Daly, ." Karen Daly admitted that she believed in Kevin Kyle and Faye Reed more, but she couldn't say it out loud. She was worried that she might be wrong about Samuel Daly. Seeing that Karen Daly did not say anything else, Samuel Daly understood her hesitation and added, "Since you don't believe me, I have nothing to say. I just want you to know that wherever you go, you can always come back to me if you need me." After saying that, Samuel Daly got up and left. He couldn't walk straight, as if he had been hurt gravely. Seeing Samuel Daly like this, Karen Daly couldn't bring herself to ask more questions. She had lost all her memory. She could only guess what happened in the past based on what people told her. She did not know what was the truth. In order to verify whether these stories were true and to find out what actually happened three years ago, she had to regain her memory But she knew nothing about the past. How was she going to get her memory back? Samuel Daly spoke nothing of her past. Faye Reed, on the other hand, told her a lot. She told her that they both grew up in Beaford City. Maybe she could get some more information from Faye Reed, then go visit Beaford City. Perhaps that would help her regain her memory. With that thought in mind, Karen Daly couldn't wait to see Faye Reed. She had to get to the bottom of things. At the same time, Kevin Kyle had just finished listening to the conversation between Karen Daly and Samuel Daly. He looked devastated. To hear that he had guessed correctly about Karen Daly receiving the lethal chemical injection, he didn't know how to react. His precious Karen Daly. If she wasn't lucky enough, she may have left him and Little Karen forever three years ago. The thought of Karen Daly having to put up with the torture tore him apart. He couldn't imagine how helpless and scared she must be feeling, having gone through such terrible schemes. He pulled out his phone and keyed in Karen Daly's number. Just before he dialled the call, he stopped... She probably wouldn't want to receive a call now. After consideration, Kevin Kyle did not call Karen Daly. Instead, he called George Ken and said, "Karen Daly was indeed injected with the chemical you were talking about Please think of a solution as soon as possible." The reason why Kevin Kyle gave orders to release Samuel Daly and not prevent Karen Daly from meeting him was simple. He wanted to collect some information from Samuel Daly, who probably wouldn't say anything to him. Kevin Kyle managed to get the information he wanted, and of course he also heard the accusations made of his family. Maybe it wasn't totally an accusation. Perhaps his superior grandfather did exactly what Samuel Daly mentioned. Now, he was just worried that Karen Daly would believe what Samuel Daly said... Amelia Gray knocked on the door and came in, interrupting Kevin Kyle's thoughts. "Director Kevin, the meeting is about to begin. Kevin Kyle nodded and suppressed the complicated emotions he had. "Okay." Karen Daly walked out of the house and hailed a taxi as soon as she walked onto the roadside. She was hurrying to see Faye Reed at the studio. She was lucky. It was usually difficult to hail a taxi on this side of the road, but there was a taxi coming towards her as soon as she came out of the house. It was almost as if the taxi had been waiting for her. After she got on the taxi, Karen Daly told the driver the address and stared out the window, with too many thoughts in her head. After returning to Chatterton Town, she had come in contact and talked to more people than she had in the past three years. It was a nice feeling, because it did not make her feel like a freak anymore. She no longer felt as if she was alone all the time. Just as Karen Daly was deep in thought, the car stopped abruptly, causing her to topple forward and hitting the seat in front. She was rubbing her head and wanted to speak when the driver signalled for her to remain silent. He held up a piece of paper towards her. - Miss Daly, please read this silently. There is a tracking device with an eavesdropping bug installed on you. Your every action and your speech are being monitored. If you do not believe me, take off the amulet you are wearing and look inside it. "L..." Why should she believe him? Karen Daly had just said a word, but stopped quickly. She stared at the driver and looked at him quietly. She wanted to understand how he did he know that there was a tracking device installed on her, and why did he tell her? The taxi driver did not show any expression on his face. His gaze was even calmer, as if he had been trained professionally. Karen Daly bit her lip. Anxiously, she removed the amulet Little Karen gave to her with care. After taking it off, she held the amulet tightly in her hand, She did not dare to open it up. She was scared. Although she knew she shouldn't trust Kevin Kyle fully, she had feelings for him, and therefore trusted him. If there was really a tracking device in that amulet, it would mean that Kevin Kyle used Little Karen and took advantage of Karen Daly's love towards her.. that would be really despicable. Karen Daly took a deep breath in and opened up the amulet with her hands trembling. Fumbling about the contents of the amulet, she found a small device just the size of a pin.
Chapter 278 Karen Daly recalled jokingly asking Kevin Kyle whether he was monitoring her or not. At that time, his answer was.. yes! He even asked her if she wanted to catch him. Her answer was-yes. At that time, she thought that he was only joking with her. She even felt blissful, but now she only felt scared. Karen Daly closed her eyes, clenched her fists, and tried to calm herself down. After a while, she put back the amulet and put it back on her neck. This was the first gift that her daughter Little Karen had given her. Even if the person who sent Little Karen to do this had ulterior motives, she still wanted to keep the amulet with her. After putting on the amulet, Karen Daly said, "Please continue to send me to the Daly Reed Designs studio on Starluck Street." If Kevin Kyle wanted to monitor her, then let him be. She wanted to see what possibly could he get from a woman who lost her memory? Soon after, the car stopped in front of Faye Reed's studio. The car stopped steadily. Karen Daly did not get off the car. She looked up from the rearview mirror and quietly observed the driver's face. She wanted to ask who the driver was. She wanted to know why he knew that Kevin Kyle had put a bug in the amulet? Why did he tell her? As if he knew Karen Daly had these questions, the driver handed her a note and said, "Take care, get off the car and be careful." Karen Daly got out of the car, opened the note, and read the two sentences written on it - It doesn't matter who I am or why I told you. The most important thing is that you must be wary of the people around you. The two simple sentences were just a waste of time. They did not tell Karen Daly what she wanted to know. When Karen Daly turned back, there was no sign of the car at all. It was almost as if it was just her hallucination. Karen Daly changed her facial expression and tried to make herself look better. Then she stepped towards Faye Reed's studio. Faye Reed was discussing about some problems with a designer, so Karen Daly simply listened and did not disturb her. Only after Faye Reed was done with her work, that she turned around and saw her. "Karen, how long have you been here? Why didn't you call me?" "I just arrived." Karen Daly said with a simple smile. Faye Reed gave Karen Daly a warm hug and said, "It's dinner time now. I'll treat you to dinner." Karen Daly nodded. "Sure." Faye Reed invited Karen Daly to a nearby restaurant that they used to visit often. In the three years, the restaurant had been renewed. The staff members kept changing too, After asking for Karen Daly's opinion, Faye Reed ordered some dishes that Karen Daly liked to eat before, and they chatted away. "Karen, how have you been with Mr. Kyle?" Karen Daly nodded. "Very good." If she hadn't found out something by accident today, things were indeed very good. They slept in the same bed with Little Karen every night. Every morning when she opened her eyes, she would see Kevin Kyle sitting by the window and reading newspapers. They looked like an ordinary couple. Faye Reed said with relief, "Karen, I'm also happy that you can get along well with each other." Karen Daly smiled, "I don't remember anything about the past. We can't get along with each other like before. It's a pity for me." Karen Daly came to Faye Reed today because she wanted to know what had happened in the past, so as they talked, she slowly guided the topic to her memory. Faye Reed added, "Karen, I can understand how you feel. Even between the two of us now, although we are sitting together and chatting, I can feel that you haven't truly opened up, and I am also careful around you." Faye Reed had always been straightforward and said whatever she thought. Especially in front of Karen Daly, she didn't need to hide what she thought. She was careful around Karen Daly because she was afraid that she would trigger Karen Daly by saying something wrong, and she was afraid that Karen Daly would be scared away Karen Daly pursed her lips and chuckled. "Didn't you say that I'm your best friend? You can just say what you want to say, You don't have to be careful. Maybe it' |l help with my memory." "You're right." Faye Reed nodded, "If you want to know anything, just ask me. I promise you that I will tell you everything." "I don't know what is there to know about." Karen Daly smiled apologetically. If you don't despise me, please tell me what happened in the past. Tell me as much as you can." "How would I ever despise you?" Faye Reed rolled her eyes at Karen Daly with dissatisfaction, "Even if I despise my Sebastian Spencer, I wouldn't despise you." Every time Faye Reed said something, Karen Daly was observing her eyes. Every time she spoke, she would make eye contact with Karen Daly, and she didn't seem to be lying. Faye Reed talked about the past intently. She knew exactly where her home was, where she lived, where she was in primary school, middle school, and college. All of them were clearly explained, and Karen Daly kept them in mind. At the same time, she also took note of Kristine Daly, who Faye Reed described as both hateful yet pitiful. If good memories were unable to make her regain her memories, would Kristine Daly be the key to the breakthrough? Karen Daly had the thought but didn't say anything about it. She finished the meal with Faye Reed "happily". Halfway through the meal, Kevin Kyle called to ask her where she was. He knew where she was, but still pretended to ask her, and Karen Daly simply cooperated with him without exposing him. When she went downstairs, Karen Daly saw Kevin Kyle waiting for her. He was leaning against his Bentley and stared straight ahead. Everyone passing by would get attracted, and some even went up to talk to him. But when he ignored them, they left defeated. "Mr. Kyle, Karen Daly is here. What are you looking at?" Faye Reed waved to Kevin Kyle and shouted loudly. Kevin Kyle looked over and cleared off the emotions in his head. He nodded politely to Faye Reed and looked towards Karen Daly. "Are you full?" Karen Daly nodded. "Yes, I'm full." Faye Reed realized the situation, "It's getting late. The idiot Sebastian Spencer must be waiting for me at home for dinner, so I shall not disturb you anymore." "Faye, be careful on the way." Karen Daly said. Faye Reed had just turned around and was about to run off when she heard Karen Daly's caring words. She gave her a tight hug. "Karen, All the best! I believe you can do it!" "Okay." Karen Daly smiled at her. Seeing Faye Reed walking away, Kevin Kyle reached out to hold Karen Daly's hand. As soon as he touched her finger, Karen Daly swat his hands away. Karen Daly walked towards the car without saying a word to Kevin Kyle. Kevin Kyle only thought that she believed the accusations Samuel Daly made about his family. He did not know that Karen Daly was already aware of the tracking device.
Chapter 279 Along the journey, Karen Daly and Kevin Kyle remained silent. Karen Daly had her gaze set straight ahead, and put on a calm front. Deep inside, she had mixed emotions she couldn' t express. If it weren't for Little Karen, and if it weren't for the fact that she wanted to hand over the gift to Little Karen, she probably would not have followed Kevin Kyle back to his home. Kevin Kyle didn't say a word, but he hadn't thought of how to explain the accusations Samuel Daly made about his family. To be precise, he couldn't explain it to Karen Daly. Karen Daly had to be the one to bring it up. If he brought it up, it would be admitting that he was eavesdropping on her. "Karen, is there something on your mind? You can tell me anything." She used to be the one who carried the conversation forward, but he didn't mind doing so now. Karen Daly still stared ahead, as if she didn't hear Kevin Kyle. Kevin Kyle was a little helpless and did not ask any more questions. When they arrived, he heard Karen Daly asking faintly, "Kevin, did we get along fine... in the past?" Karen Daly did not know what she was doing. With Samuel Daly, she was always able to maintain her composure and think properly. However with Kevin Kyle, her mind was in shambles and she could not bring herself to blame him. She was even trying to convince herself that Kevin Kyle was only tracking her to understand her and help her regain her memory But if that was what he was trying to do, why couldn't he just tell her? The true reason why she ignored Kevin Kyle was because he invaded her privacy without her permission. "Karen- " Kevin Kyle pulled Karen Daly into his arms and held her tightly. He grabbed her hand and put it against his heart. "I don't if you felt that I was good enough, in your heart. But I do know that my heart feels empty when you're not around." His heart was empty, so was hers. However, she still couldn't let go of the grudge in her heart, and she hadn't thought about how to bring up the topic of the tracking device. Karen Daly caressed Kevin Kyle's chest lightly, looked up at him and said, "Let's go in. It's so late, Little Karen must be waiting for us. "Okay." If Karen Daly didn't want to continue the topic, Kevin Kyle didn't want to dwell on it. He took her hand again and Karen Daly didn't dodge away, so he held her tightly and didn't intend to let go. When they got home, Lionel was playing with Little Karen. It was a game of hide-and-seek. Lionel was very patient with Little Karen. Seeing a big boy playing hide-and-seek with Little Karen patiently, Karen Daly couldn't stop staring at him. She had been staying in Secret Garden for a long time, and she had never heard Lionel speak a word. If she hadn't heard from Little Karen that "Brother Lionel talks a lot", Karen Daly would have thought that he was mute. The boy put on a cold face with everyone, but when he was with Little Karen, his gentleness showed, and occasionally he smiled. Little Karen didn't have siblings. Karen Daly felt at ease that she had a big brother taking care of her. "Dad, Big Karen... Little Karen, who hid behind the sofa, forgot about Brother Lionel who was 'seeking her and just got up and ran to them. Kevin Kyle stretched out his hands to hug Little Karen but she ran into Karen Daly's arms, leaving him hanging. Karen Daly caught Little Karen and kissed her forehead. She said softly, "Little Karen, have you had your dinner?" "Of course, I'm full." Little Karen rubbed her belly and pointed to Lionel who was standing next to her. "Brother Lionel accompanied me to eat together." "Well, our Little Karen is a really good girl." Karen Daly smiled politely at Lionel. "Thank you for accompanying Little Karen." Lionel did not respond. Little Karen looked at him and smiled sweetly. She said in a soft voice, "Brother Lionel is going to sleep, and I'm going to sleep too." Hearing Little Karen's instructions, Lionel nodded. Then he went upstairs and went back to his room Karen Daly rubbed Little Karen's head, "Little Karen, Brother Lionel is very good, isn't he?" "Mhmm.." The little girl nodded repeatedly and said innocently, "Brother Lionel plays with me and eats with me. I like Brother Lionel a lot." Karen Daly smiled with satisfaction, "If you like Brother Lionel, then you should treat him better, as if he was your biological brother." "Okay." Little Karen didn't quite understand what biological brother' meant, but she just nodded obediently. As the mother and daughter talked, they completely neglected Kevin Kyle. Although he was completely ignored, Kevin Kyle had no complaints at all. What else could make him happier than seeing the two of them staying by his side him at the same time? Karen Daly helped Little Karen with her shower, put her in bed, and said gently, "Little Karen, Daddy will play with you for a while. I have something to do." Kevin Kyle grabbed Karen Daly, who was about to leave, "Karen Karen Daly smiled at him, "I'm going to iron Little Karen's clothes. I'll be back in a while." He knew that she was angry with him, so he was so worried that she would leave and not come back. But actually she couldn't bring herself to get mad at him, though she didn't understand why Karen Daly picked up the clothes and went back to the room after getting an iron. In the room, Little Karen was happily rolling on Kevin Kyle, laughing all over the place. She looked really happy. When she saw the father and daughter interact, Karen Daly couldn't look away, and her heart softened. When she saw them, Karen Daly thought of many things. She remembered how Kevin Kyle accompanied her during her drug rehabilitation and took good care of her. He really cared for her, how could she not notice? No matter how busy he was, he would always make time for his daughter How could such a good man be the kind of person who only cares about his daughter and not care about her, as what Samuel Daly said? Karen Daly took a deep breath and said, "Little Karen, I made some new clothes for you. Would you like to try them?" "Okay." Little Karen rolled down from Kevin Kyle and answered happily Kevin Kyle took the clothes from Karen Daly, "You've worked hard. I'll take care of changing her clothes. I can't let you do everything. It would make me seem useless as a father." As he spoke, Kevin Kyle had skillfully taken off Little Karen's pajamas and then helped her put on the skirt. The pink princess- dress did not look exceptionally outstanding, but when Karen Daly put a lace with a big bow around Little Karen's waist, the dress looked remarkable on her. "Little Karen, do you like it?" Karen Daly asked cautiously She noticed her lips had dried up from nervousness. She was afraid her daughter wouldn't like the first present she was giving her.
Chapter 280 Kevin Kyle quickly cooperated with Karen Daly and said with some exaggeration, "Wow, it's so beautiful. This is the most beautiful little princess dress I've ever seen you wearing." Little Karen turned around on the bed and said in a sweet voice, "I want to take a look at the mirror." She was a witty little girl. She wouldn't trust daddy's judgement. She must look at it herself. Daddy liked Big Karen so much, who knows if he was just lying to help Big Karen look good. Looking at her beautiful reflection in the mirror, Little Karen was very happy. She turned around and placed a few kisses on Karen Daly's face. "Thank you, Big Karen. I like it very much." "Well, thank you so much for liking it." Karen Daly also kissed Little Karen back. Receiving Little Karen's recognition, Karen Daly felt more excited than when she was receiving an international designer's award. It was not just the dress. Little Karen also liked the other two clothes a lot. She started to believe what daddy said, that the clothes Big Karen made were the prettiest. She wore them and did not want to take them off even when she went to sleep. Karen Daly had to change her into her pyjamas after she had fallen asleep. Looking at the cute Little Karen, Karen Daly kissed her again. Every time she thought about how Little Karen was her own child, she felt an indescribable satisfaction. With the little ball of joy asleep, the atmosphere turned quiet immediately. Both people lying by Little Karen's two sides were staring at the ceiling in unison. They both had so much to say to each other, but did not know where to start. After a long time, Kevin Kyle turned over and moved Little Karen to the side. He lay down beside Karen Daly and pulled her into his arms. "Kevin Kyle, what are you doing?" Karen Daly tried to struggle, but she couldn't. She angrily pounded on his chest. "I just want to hug you." He did want to hug her, to feel her warmth filling up the hole in his heart. Hearing his low voice, Karen Daly's heart softened. She silently put down her fist and snuggled in his arms, quietly listening to his strong heartbeat. "Kevin, are you.." Are you hiding anything from me? As long as you tell me frankly, I will forgive you. Karen Daly really wanted to tell Kevin Kyle this, but she couldn't bring herself to say it. "Karen, trust me!" No matter what happens, you must trust me. Trust that I can handle everything. Trust that I can protect you and our daughter. Kevin Kyle really wanted to tell Karen Daly this, but he couldn' t bring himself to say it. He didn't want to add on to the matters at hand. He would confess everything to Karen Daly when he's done handling the situation. She should be able to accept it by then. "Mmm." Karen Daly breathed deeply. She shall trust him again. She shall trust that he was doing everything for her own good, and not to cause her harm like Samuel Daly. He had told her earlier on that he was on a business trip when everything happened three years ago. When he came back everything had already passed. The child was given birth through surgery, and he had lost his wife. He did not know what happened. All these years, he had been looking for her. So she was willing to trust him. Although she had decided to trust Kevin Kyle, Karen Daly couldn't just sit there and do nothing. She didn't want to rely on Kevin Kyle for everything. She wanted to be brave and search for her memory on her own. So on the second day, Karen Daly quietly took out the tracking device from the amulet, left it at home, and flew to Beaford City by herself. She was hoping that if she saw the places and sceneries from her past, it would trigger something in her mind that could make her regain her memories When Kevin Kyle received the news that Karen Daly had flown to Beaford City alone, he was holding a large conference. The moment he heard it, Karen Daly had already boarded the flight long ago, Kevin Kyle blew up on the spot. Many people in the meeting room were Kevin Kyle's old subordinates. In the business circle, Kevin Kyle had always been the stable one. No matter how alarming the situation was, he could deal with it calmly and issue orders accurately It was the first time for everyone to see Kevin Kyle get so angry. In fact, he didn't do anything, but everyone could feel his anger, which could have burned down the whole building. Kevin Kyle glanced coldly at the messenger, "Nick Black, your men are incompetent. You'll take care of that yourself Amelia Gray, arrange a private plane to fly to Beaford City immediately. I want to take off as soon as arrive at the airport. Also, contact the Beaford City airport personnel. I don't care what methods they have to use, I want them to make sure she doesn't leave the airport." He had arranged so many people to keep an eye on Karen Daly, and yet this group... only informed the news to him after she had already boarded the plane. He really wanted to tear these people into pieces. What if... He didn't have the courage to think about what might happen. At this moment, he had to catch up with Karen Daly as fast as he could and put her under his protection, so that she wouldn't be hurt at all. The weather in Beaford City was not as good as the weather in Chatterton Town. That was Karen Daly's first impression after getting off the plane. Chatterton Town was hot, but there was the sea breeze, so it was bearable. On the other hand, Beaford City made her feel like she was going to evaporate from the heat any moment. From Karen Daly's limited memory, it was her first time coming to the Beaford City Airport. The airport was on par with many international airports, and there were a lot of travellers She followed everyone who got off the plane and quickly moved forward toward the airport exit. But before long, she was stopped by the airport security staff. She wasn't sure whether the staff thought that she was stupid, because they gave her the most ridiculous excuse for stopping her. They said that her luggage contained prohibited items, and asked her to cooperate with a spot check. Gosh! She was only carrying a small backpack, which only contained a set of clothes and some toiletries. How was it possible that she had prohibited items? Before coming to the Beaford City, she had thought that there might be obstacles. There were probably some people trying to prevent her from regaining her memory, so she came prepared. She asked to be excused to the bathroom. This simple reason had to be accepted by the airport staff. Moreover, there were no windows in the bathroom. As long as they waited outside, she would not be able to escape no matter what, so the security personnel let her go. When she came to the bathroom, Karen Daly quickly changed into a new set of clothes, put down her high ponytail, and put on some make up. She only came out when she thought the security personnel would not be able to recognise her. As she expected, she walked out of the bathroom and passed the two security personnels with ease. They only gave her a glance and did not suspect her at all After walking for some distance, Karen Daly walked swiftly. She had to escape before the two security guards found out. As long as she left the airport, searching for her would be as hard as searching for a needle in a haystack.
Chapter 281 Beaford City, was the capital of a country, so you could imagine the lifestyle here. If you look up, there are skyscrapers everywhere, buried in the clouds. Karen Daly could not figure out where she was when she got out of the taxi. That's hard to imagine, since she grew up in this city. The streets, the buildings, the pedestrians, everything was unfamiliar to her, as if she'd never lived here before. Karen Daly took a deep breath, as she put on a smile and told herself, "Karen Daly, it's okay." Just because she could not remember anything today, it did not mean that she would not make any progress tomorrow. If she tried hard enough, she'd definitely be able to remember her past. Karen Daly had only one purpose in mind for her trip to Beaford City. She needed to find the whereabouts of her pitiful, yet hateful sister, Kristine Daly, as mentioned by Faye Reed. Before coming to Beaford City, Karen Daly had already contacted Kristine Daly ahead of time and told her that she would like to meet up with her, and Kristine Daly immediately agreed. "Kristine Daly.." Silently, Karen Daly recited the name over and over again, trying to bring back any sort of memory that was buried deep in her mind. Something was definitely there, but she couldn't remember any little detail about Kristine Daly. Karen Daly had learned some information from Faye Reed, and from the additional information that she found on the Internet, she knew that Kristine Daly was disfigured once, and she was also mentally unwell once. But Kristine Daly's doing better now, having done plastic surgery and she's starting life anew. She's currently employed at a startup company in Beaford City, as well as owning some of the company's shares. If it weren't for the fact that she had heard too much negative stories about Kristine Daly, Karen Daly would've thought that Kristine Daly was a very inspirational person Karen Daly shook her head, not wanting to hear about the things that Kristine Daly had done in the past. She's only hoping to get other insights from Kristine Daly The buildings around her looked almost identical to each other, hence Karen Daly had troubles finding the company that Kristine Daly was working at, which was Wilis Corporation, even with the help of the navigation application on her phone. As a last resort, Karen Daly texted Kristine Daly. "I'm here. But I can't find your office." Not long after the text was sent, Karen Daly got a call from Kristine Daly. She sounded almost similar to what Karen Daly imagined she would sound like, soothing and very pleasant She said, "Where are you? I'll go look for you." Karen Daly took a quick look around and gave the name of a shop on her left, then she hung up the phone and waited for Kristine Daly. Kristine Daly didn't leave immediately after she'd hung up the phone, though. Instead, she made her way to the window, and she looked at the convenience store across the street downstairs. There stood a tall woman wearing a cap, white shirt and jeans on the right side of the convenience store. She was looking around, probably trying to get familiar with her surroundings. She still looked beautiful even though a few years had passed. She was tall and slender, and she looked like she had good skin, like a young schoolgirl. It would have been impossible to tell that she was already a mother of a young child. The woman who should have passed away three years ago, the woman who had outdone her over and over again... Kristine Daly thought that they would never meet again in this life, but she came back alive, and even took the initiative to contact her. Kristine Daly had started a new life, and achieved some results at work. Kristine was trying to forget all the painful memories that had happened to her. As long as no one reminded her, she was starting to put her past behind her. But just as she was about to move on, Samuel Daly, who had been on the run, came back with Karen Daly, who should have died. Karen Daly was the last person that Kristine Daly would want to see, because seeing Karen Daly now would force her to recall how badly defeated she was by Karen Daly in the past. So why did she agree to meet up with Karen Daly if she didn't want to see her? She wanted to see how Karen Daly had turned out, now that she's lost all of her memories. Lost all of her memories? Kristine Daly narrowed her eyes, doubtful. Karen Daly was smart. Maybe it's all just an act, and she never lost any of her memories. But she couldn't quite figure out why, and who could possibly be her audience? Karen Daly was involved in a car accident three years ago and she died, but the child in her womb didn't. Kristine Daly was still in the hospital recovering from her psychotic episode when she heard the news, and no words could describe the thrill that she felt in her heart. The woman who was indefinitely blessed by the God of Fortune, the woman who was a lot luckier than her, had also been blessed by the God of Death. Back then, she laughed at the sky for a solid 30 minutes. Though, happiness aside, she felt indescribably sad. Once her tensed nerves had relaxed, she could only feel the emptiness in her heart. There used to be Charlie Gook, Karen Daly, and her. The three of them grew up together, and now they're all gone. She was the only one left. It was only then that she finally realized that life is truly short, so you need to make the best out of it. You only get to live a few good years in a lifetime. No matter how hard you try to fight for more, you'll still end up with nothing eventually. When she finally got her head around it, Kristine Daly felt that God was actually not that bad towards her after all. He may have disfigured her, but He didn't perish her. Charlie Gook and Karen Daly died when they were young and turned to ashes. She was the only one left alive, and only those who remain alive could change their fate, and live the lives that they want to live. Why must Samuel Daly bring Karen Daly back just when she was starting to see that life is finally turning for the better? Why must they come and destroy this peaceful life of hers? Samuel Daly, who had destroyed her life, was shameless enough to have contacted her, calling her his good daughter, so that they could flaunt the Daly Family's reputation as a father-daughter duo. Hehe How ridiculous. Only a bastard like him would have such a shameless personality. He might have forgotten all the ugly things that he had done in the past, but she hasn't, and she never will. She didn't reject Samuel Daly either. Instead, she agreed to his request. She wanted to see how far Samuel Daly could leap before he falls to the ground. She wanted to see it with her own eyes - Samuel Daly giving all that he could, only to lose everything in the end. Karen Daly had waited for quite a while before she finally got to meet Kristine Daly. Karen Daly wasn't able to find any photos of Kristine Daly after her facial reconstruction surgery, but Karen Daly could still recognize Kristine Daly at first sight. Based on what Karen Daly had heard from Faye Reed, she grew up with Kristine Daly together. They lived together for so long, and they knew each other like the back of their hands. She thought that her telepathic sense may helped her recognize Kristine Daly. "Karen, it's been so long that we've seen each other, but nothing's changed at all, and you're still as beautiful as ever." Kristine Daly greeted Karen Daly like she would to a sister whom she hadn't seen for many years. She had her true feelings so well hidden that no one could see through it. Karen Daly nodded. "Nice to meet you!" She wasn't sure if her relationship with Kristine Daly in the past was just as what Faye Reed had described, so she was keeping herself at a distance, at least until she regains her memory.
Chapter 282 Kristine Daly smiled at Karen Daly and said, "Karen, we're sisters. You don't have to be so courteous to me." Kristine Daly's facial expression appeared to be rather stiff after surgery, and her smile looked very unnatural. She wasn't as beautiful as she looked in the photos that Karen Daly had found on the Internet. Sisters? Were they really close sisters? Karen Daly trusted what Faye Reed had said, but Kristine Daly's expression looked sincere, so Karen Daly did not believe that she could be faking it. At this point, she was starting to get really confused of who she should trust Kristine Daly said again, "Let's go. I'll treat you to dinner." To which Karen Daly replied, "I should be the one treating you, since I was the one who'd asked to meet up with you." Kristine Daly gave it a thought and said, "That's fine too." Kristine Daly drove Karen Daly and they went to a restaurant that was a little further away. She said, "We used to go to this restaurant a lot when we went to school. See, the other restaurants have changed a lot, but this one is still standing strong with a lot of customers." "Maybe." Perhaps they used to come here a lot when they were young, but Karen Daly's mind was all blank. She couldn't relate at all. Kristine Daly went on and described more about the restaurant. Though she wasn't really interested, Karen Daly listened attentively anyway. Any clue she could get was better than none Kristine Daly spent the entire meal talking, and Karen Daly was responding to her courteously, mostly providing some non-verbal cues such as nodding and smiling. After Karen Daly had paid for the meal, Kristine Daly said again, "I heard from Samuel Daly that you'd lost your memories. I also know what you came here for, so if you ever need anything, just let me know." Kristine Daly's offer was so straightforward, that it made Karen Daly hesitate a little. If Faye Reed's words were true, Kristine Daly should be resenting her instead of welcoming her. Karen Daly had prepared for herself to be turned down when she requested to meet with Kristine Daly. But never would she have expected that Kristine Daly was so affectionate towards her. Was it because Kristine Daly had changed? Could she just be acting? Or did Faye Reed deceive her? If Karen Daly could not remember the past, she would not have the answers to her questions or to prove the authenticity of their information. Now the only thing left for her to do was to try and find out about the past. Karen Daly gave it a thought and said, "I want to go back to look at the old place that we used to live. Will you take me there?" Once again, Kristine Daly replied generously, "Of course, it's no problem at all." They came out of the restaurant together, and Karen Daly stood at the crowded intersection to wait for Kristine Daly as she drove the car over. Just as Karen Daly was looking around, a familiar, tall and slender figure appeared out of the corner of her eye. Kevin Kyle? Flustered, Karen Daly held onto the cap on her head, turned around and hid behind a huge tree by the road. She had a chance to take a closer look at the man from her hiding spot and found that the man was indeed Kevin Kyle. He still wore the same clothes like he always did, a white shirt paired with black slacks. Plain and ordinary. Maybe because he stood out too much, Karen Daly was able to recognize him at first glance, despite the distance and the crowd Kevin Kyle looked calm, though Karen Daly could tell that he displayed a different kind of "calm" emotion. He looked a little anxious, but he was managing it well to the extent no one would know if they did not take a closer look Why on earth did Kevin Kyle come here? Is he here because she was here? Is he trying to help her remember? Or did he come because he was worried of her safety? Would he be concerned if he could not find her? But she could not depend on him for everything. If she wanted to regain her memories, she must do it on her own. Kevin Kyle would not be of much help. Just as Karen Daly was getting lost in her thoughts looking at Kevin Kyle, Kristine Daly stopped the car beside her and said, "Karen, get in the car." Karen Daly stole another glance at Kevin Kyle again. She bit her lip and got into Kristine Daly's car without looking back. Kevin Kyle treated her well, but she could not rely on him forever. She needed to grow and be mature, so that he would have a shoulder to lean on when he was tired. The ride took about half an hour to arrive at their destination Two people had died over the course of a few months in the Daly residence. One died of suicide, while the other was murdered. Both died a gruesome death. Karen Daly's mother's death was only investigated when the police was investigating the death of Charlie Gook. News spread quick as the servants of the Daly residence started to speak out too. The house was deemed to be haunted. The stories got stretched out even further as time went by. According to some people, they could see a woman jumping off the roof every night. The house became a sensation when the rumors went viral, and pedestrians and cars would take a detour just to observe the house. The house was left vacant, and it couldn't be resold or rented out due to the speculations of it being a haunted house. No one even bothered to clean up the house. No one had been there for the past three years. The yard was overgrown with weeds. The house was starting to look like a haunted house as depicted in horror movies. They stood outside the courtyard, looking at the gate. Karen Daly's legs were suddenly heavy out of the blue for no reason. Kristine Daly spoke, "This is the place where we used to live. Do you still remember it?" Karen Daly shook her head and then nodded again hesitantly She couldn't recall, but it all felt so familiar. She felt a discomfort in her heart all of a sudden, as if her subconscious remembered this place. In a trance, Karen Daly saw a middle-aged woman standing in front of her, looking at her with a smile. "Karen, you're finally home. Do you know how long have I been waiting for you?" "Mom?" Karen asked. "Karen, I've missed you so much." The woman said. "Mom, I miss you too." Karen Daly walked over as she wanted to catch the woman but she couldn't. Everything disappeared into thin air. Kristine Daly asked, "Did you see mom? Did you just have a hallucination of her? Or did she die resentfully and her ghost was left here waiting all these time?" Karen Daly did not answer her, but she could vaguely remember images in her mind. At times the woman will be smiling at her, at times she would be hiding in the room crying, she even saw the ice, cold coffin... These scenes were very much different from the ones that she'd seen before. They were clear in her mind, but when she tried to focus to remember more, everything seemed to have perished. Taking a deep breath in, Karen Daly clenched her fists. She pretended to be calm and said, "Can I have a look inside?" Kristine Daly hesitated before she said, "You can go in on your own if you want to, I won't accompany you." Kristine Daly saw the tragedy happen before her own eyes when Karen Daly's mother had committed suicide. Furthermore, she murdered Charlie Gook here. This place was miserable to her. Usually, she would not return here. Today, she came here with Karen Daly. Kristine Daly was secretly analysing Karen, and she would be able to know soon enough, if Karen Daly had in fact, lost all of her memories.
Chapter 283 Karen Daly pushed the rusty gate open, as she walked in with extreme caution. "Karen, you're back!" In a daze, a familiar, gentle and kind voice rang again in Karen Daly's ears. But when Karen Daly stopped in her tracks to look around, there was nothing there, even the voice in her ears were gone. Karen Daly continued making her way in until she came to the main door. She opened the door and a pungent smell arose. Spider-webs were visible in all corners of the house. Karen Daly stood at the door. What she saw in front of her was no longer the house covered in spider-webs, but of a young woman playing with a little girl in her arms. A chubby little girl with a face full of mud like a kitten was there. The woman didn't look at all displeased, and instead she took a towel and gently wiped the little girl's face. "Karen, someone had just mopped the floor. Where did you go that you could bring so much mud back into the house?" "Karen, I'm going to carry you to the mirror for you to look at yourself. Look how dirty you are." "Karen girls must be well-mannered. Don't be naughty." "Karen..." The gentle voice of the woman kept sounding in Karen Daly's ears, warming her heart. Mother loved to clean. She used to help the servants clean up the house. She would polish the floor over and over again, so bright that it could be used as a mirror. "Mom?" Unknowingly, these were the only things that crossed Karen Daly's mind when she thought about her mother. She knew how much her mother loved keeping the house spotless. Her mind brought her back to the scene when her mother would hold her, and she was smiling as she told her, "Girls must be gentle, girls must be pretty, girls must take care of hygiene... Karen Daly could hear her mother's voice clear as day and slowly, she was able to get a clearer look of her mother's face. So many familiar scenes flood themselves in Karen Daly's mind. She finally remembered that her name was Karen Daly, and her mother used to gently call her name, Karen. But the scenes that came to mind were merely memories of her mother when she was young She still couldn't recall how her mother had passed away "Mom..." Karen Daly closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then she said, "I'm home. I've come back to see you." Karen Daly continued her way in, and made her way upstairs to her mother's room by instinct. Corners of the room were covered by cobwebs, no longer the way it was when her mother was still living here. The image of her mother crying in the room was also present, obviously a memory that Karen Daly kept buried in her mind. And now her mother was no longer here. Yet how did her mother leave? Did it have anything to do with Samuel Daly like what Faye Reed had said? Though Karen Daly was facing a little trouble with remembering everything else, she was in no hurry. She had already remembered some details, and that's a good start. She had faith that as long as she tried even harder, she would be able to regain all her memories of the past. Karen Daly continued treading in the house full of cobwebs and dust, to continue looking for her memories, but nothing seemed to work anymore. At the end of the corridor of the second floor was a storage room. The door was tightly shut. Karen Daly knew it was a storage room as there was a sign. She stood in front of the door and took her time. After some deliberate consideration, she lifted her hand and turned the door knob. She pushed the door open and walked into the room. There weren't any windows in the room. The room was very dark, with all kinds of things cluttering on the floor. The moldy smell was getting stronger than ever. Karen Daly pressed on the switch on the wall. Since the place had been vacant for too long, there's no water and electricity supply in the place. Karen Daly took a tour of the room, relying on the minimal external sunlight. A while later, the door closed itself shut and Karen Daly could hear the sound of the door being locked. The room was dark again, now that the light was gone. Ever since her experience of being stranded in the hospital elevator, dark and enclosed spaces had become Karen Daly's worst fears. She rushed to the door as fast as she could, wanting to open the door to escape. But the door was locked from the outside and she couldn't open it. The door was a dead end, and the room was terrifyingly dark. Not only was Karen Daly stuck, the traumatizing experience from Karen Daly's past was triggering her even more. She slammed the door, yelling for help at the top of her lungs, "Is anyone there? Let me out.. Her cry for help went on until she lost her voice. Still, no one came for her. She was brought back to her past, to the night when she got stuck in a hospital elevator. No matter how hard she'd cried for help, no one came to her rescue either. She was left within the dark and enclosed space of the elevator for nearly the whole night. If the people had found her just a little later, she might have suffocated due to a lack of oxygen in the elevator. And now she was experiencing the same trauma with no one beside her. One could only imagine the fear that Karen Daly was feeling. She had herself curled up in a corner holding her legs with her arms. Her body was shivering and her teeth were chattering. She gradually lost the ability to think She didn't know how much time has passed when the door was suddenly opened up and it fell onto the ground. Dust was flying everywhere, and light was restored in the room. "Karen-" Karen Daly could hear someone calling her name. It was a warm and familiar voice, both low and deep at the same time. It was the most amazing voice that she's ever heard in her life. She opened her mouth and wanted to call out to him only to find that her body was filled with fear and anxiety, and she couldn't say anything. Kevin Kyle did a quick scan of the room as he entered, pacing quickly towards her and engulfed her shaking body into his embrace, "Karen Daly, don't be scared. It's okay now. Being held in Kevin Kyle's arms, Karen Daly found that she had long turned into a puddle. She was no longer scared though, because she had him right by her side. She couldn't recall much about their relationship, but she would no longer feel doubtful of his actions towards her and neither would she doubt her feelings for him anymore. If he had other intentions, he wouldn't be able to give her such a great sense of security Even though she couldn't remember that she used to be his wife, her heart was undoubtedly and unknowingly drawn towards him. How could you not fall for such a kind gentle and considerate man? It took a while before Karen Daly lifted her head and she was met with the concerned and loving eyes of Kevin Kyle, which made her heart ache. She said, "Kevin Kyle, I'm so sorry! I won't let you worry about me ever again." Regardless of her memory, Karen Daly wanted him. She wanted to be his wife, wanted him to hold her hand and to never let go. "It's okay now, let's go." Kevin Kyle kissed her forehead, grabbed her by the waist and walked her out of the room. Sitting in the car, Karen Daly turned around to look back at the place where she used to live. The sky was starting to get dark. Since the house had been left vacant for a long time, the yard was overgrown with weeds, it gave off an eerie vibe of desolation. Kevin Kyle ordered the chauffeur to drive off. He went silent after that His gaze was dark, as if he was angry about something.
Chapter 284 Kristine Daly, who was standing in the dark, saw Karen Daly being taken away by Kevin Kyle. Tears began welling up in her eyes as she watched their car drive off. After so many years, Kevin Kyle's love for Karen Daly remained, maybe even more than before. You could tell that from the way he got nervous about her. Kevin Kyle showed up not long after Karen Daly came to the house. Maybe he couldn't stand to be apart from her. In the absence of Karen Daly, Kevin Kyle could be seen appearing everywhere in the news, the TV and even the Internet For a man who had never been on TV, never been in front of the camera, and was mysterious to the public, he would change at such great measures for Karen Daly. Did she know how lucky she was to have met a man like him? Kristine Daly had thought about it countless of times before. If only she'd worked harder last time, if only she hadn't returned to Beaford City to fight over Charlie Gook, the scumbag, then maybe all the love and care that Karen Daly was receiving would have belonged to her instead. "That man will never belong to you. Why don't you look at me more instead of dreaming about him." There was a snicker, and Kristine Daly was pulled into a pair of strong arms by force. She met his devilish eyes when she lifted her head up to see who it was. Kristine Daly raised her feeble arms and patted twice on his chest, smiling gently as she said, "Mr. Wilis, you're a phoenix and I'm just a little sparrow. How dare I fantasize about you?" "You know it's not that, but it's because you never know when to stop. Back then when Karen Daly was in a relationship with Charlie Gook, you fought with your sister over him. Then Karen Daly married Kevin Kyle, and you wanted Kevin Kyle too. You don't really love those men, you just got used to snatching things that belongs to Karen Daly." Mr. Wilis looked at Kristine Daly as he pointed out her thoughts mercilessly. They had been working together for a few years now, and he thought that he could read this woman like the back of his hand. "Haha." Kristine Daly replied Mr. Wilis with a sneer. There was never a need to explain your circumstances to the ones who believe in you. As for those who don't believe you, they would never believe you, no matter how much you try to explain to them. "You don't think so?" Mr. Wilis smiled, as he lifted Kristine Daly's chin and said, "Then what was that just now?" Kristine Daly patted on his chest again and said, "I was just happy." To Kristine Daly, Mr. Wilis was merely a business partner and she never felt the obligation to share her thoughts with him. Karen Daly had grown up with a stubborn temperament ever since she was a little girl. Once she has made up her mind, nothing could stop her. It was also because of this stubbornness of hers, that she was punished a lot. After every screw up, Karen Daly would most of the time locked up in the storage room by Samuel Daly and she'd only be able to come out of it if she admitted to being wrong. Stubbornness did not get her very far. Karen Daly never learned how to butter people up, especially Samuel Daly. So she was locked up a lot, usually for the whole night and no one could get to her. The storage room would have been a nightmare to Karen Daly's childhood, so Kristine Daly just wanted to test out and see if Karen Daly had in fact lost her memories. Just that, and nothing else. Kristine Daly used to think that everything that belonged to Karen Daly should belong to her. She had a mentality of jealousy and hatred. But now she was just envious of Kevin Kyle's care towards her. Mr. Wilis grabbed Kristine Daly by the hand and said with a faint smile on his face, "Kristine Daly, was I too permissive with you that you're starting to become more and more unruly in front of me?" "Not at all." Kristine Daly shrugged his hand off and turned to leave as she said, "Mr. Wilis, we're merely business partners. Please keep that in mind, and I will not forget what kind of a woman I am." You tend to see through things after going through a lot, and the same goes for fame and reputation. The most important thing was to live a good life, and that was the kind of person that Kristine Daly was mow. She had crossed paths with death before, and a lot a lot people. She had finally figured it all out. Life was really short. So you should enjoy it while you're still alive, and be the best person that you can be instead of scheming against other people and fighting for things that don't belong to you in the first place. Mr. Wilis glanced at Kristine Daly who was walking further and further away and the smile in his eyes perished, only darkness remained. He didn't know when it started, that he'd begun craving for this woman. The feeling was so strong that he couldn't control it. The desire of wanting her was like a wild horse being let loose of its reins, running wild in the fields. What's even more hateful was that the woman who had been trampled on by men, who was locked up in a psychiatric hospital, and was disfigured, told him that he was not her type. A woman who was had her self-worth trampled on by so many people before, pretending to be better than him in front of him. Ever since he overthrew the Gook family, and achieved a gradual development in his family business, he had received numerous invitations and insinuations from the ladies in Beaford City He was a businessman, and a shrewd one at that. The society had gotten more open-minded nowadays, no one would care about your background as long as you could make money. But that was not entirely true either. They mostly just pretended that status and family did not matter, but they would definitely judge you behind your back. So when a particular lady from a noble family in Beaford City courted him, he had accepted it. As for Kristine Daly, he wanted her too. Judging by Kristine Daly's personality, she was not really turning his advances down. Maybe she's just trying to play hard-to-get Since he was very interested in her, he'd play the game that she wanted to play The car had been on the road for quite some time, and Kevin Kyle still had his moody face on. Neither did he utter a single word, nor did he even steal a glance at Karen Daly. Karen Daly noticed Kevin Kyle's gloominess. She saw how the veins showed on his forehead, his clenched fists and how he was trying very hard to hold it in. Her heart ached. She scooted over to Kevin Kyle's side, and reached her hand out cautiously to hold Kevin Kyle's fist in her hand, "Kevin..." Karen Daly wished for Kevin Kyle to express the anger in his heart, even if that meant for him to yell at her. She just didn't want him to be too harsh on himself. She'd feel bad if he had to hold everything in. Kevin Kyle was still ignoring her. He remained silent as his face looked even gloomier, like he was holding so much in that he was about to burst. Karen Daly was beginning to lose her mind seeing Kevin Kyle continue to ignore her. Just as she was about to pull her hand away, Kevin Kyle grabbed it. Karen Daly looked up at him, but he still continued to ignore her. So she just sat quietly beside him. Once they got back to the hotel and the doors closed behind them, Kevin Kyle turned around and pressed Karen Daly's body to the door. He then began kissing her passionately. Kevin Kyle stood at more than six feet tall, while Karen Daly was nearly a head shorter than he was. Naturally, Karen Daly could not resist Kevin Kyle's strength.
Chapter 285 Karen Daly couldn't resist Kevin Kyle at all, having been overpowered by him. Her lips were also sealed by his kisses, and she couldn't even get more than a syllable out of her mouth. His kiss was domineering and strong, with a sense of fierceness that appeared to have been suppressed for a long time. Out of instinct, Karen Daly wanted to fight back to get out of Kevin Kyle's shackles. But he was so strong, and his kisses were so passionate that Karen Daly couldn't escape at all. All she could do was let out a series of whines. Kevin Kyle swallowed her cry for help. It seemed like he was letting all his years of yearning and sadness out with his action. Why couldn't she remember him? Why did she leave him wandering back and forth, and alone in the past, when she'd just forgotten about their past? Kevin Kyle poured all of his emotions in the kiss. The deeper it got, the more ruthless he became. Gradually, his hands became restless as they sneaked their way under Karen Daly's shirt. His hands were warm, grazing against Karen Daly's ice cold skin. She was still whining, her tone was weak yet sharp as a knife. She had been trying to struggle free as well. Her frail grip barely helped her, but every time she tried to fight back, Kevin Kyle got angrier. "Enough!" Then out of the blue, Kevin Kyle let out a loud cry his voice resonating off the walls. Karen Daly had never heard Kevin Kyle this loud before, ever since she had known him. It was loud indeed, but with a hint of lingering sadness... Karen Daly's struggling halted. She just watched him with fear, doubt and grief... Kevin Kyle was looking at her as well, as if he had a million things he wanted to say but he didn't. Yearning, desire, blame, adoration... So many emotions in his eyes, yet not a single sound could be heard. Karen Daly felt like she was out of breath and only wished to hold onto him as tight as she could. Regardless of his pasts, regardless of his fears. It was at this moment that Kevin Kyle lowered his head and gave her a light peck on the forehead, as gentle as a breeze blowing on her face. Karen Daly didn't fight him off, but let herself indulge in Kevin Kyle's delicate kiss on her forehead. Then it went to the tip of her nose, her lips until finally he landed on her ear. "Look at me, Karen Daly!" His voice was as beautiful as the summer's breeze, For a while there, her heart was beating so fast in her chest. Karen Daly couldn't help but to let out a hum. "Oh.." Kevin Kyle sounded satisfied, and he smiled softly beside her ear. It was so seductive it could make one blush. Then came the next wave of Kevin Kyle's kisses! No longer fierce and deranged, but with endless affection, coupled with his usual dominance. Karen Daly stopped resisting at once. Her clear and bright gaze followed Kevin Kyle's eyes closely. Look at me. Yes, I will keep my gaze on you, always, following you around until the day that you die. Karen thought. Karen Daly's shirt was ripped open, her fair complexion was exposed to the cold air. But she wasn't cold, because his warm hands were grazing against her skin. She'd thought about a lot of things prior to coming to Beaford City, including her past, and her future. But in hindsight, it seemed ridiculous now. She liked him, whether it was in the past or in the future, and whether her memories were back or not... Even if she were to do it all over again, she still would've fallen for him The fact was obvious. This was the truth. But was that enough? Karen Daly stretched her hands out and wrapped them tightly around Kevin Kyle's neck. They were breathing in sync, but it still didn't seem enough for her. It wasn't close enough, and she wanted to get even closer. She wanted to take a walk into his heart, to look at his past, and to be with him til the end of the world. It was so hot in the summer, that they were both about to melt. Karen Daly held onto Kevin Kyle as tight as she could while they continued being passionate. When she had reached her climax, she finally spoke in her soft voice, "Kevin Kyle, 1 like you." I like you so much! So much! She couldn't begin to imagine how she'd survived in the days she didn't have him. In turn, Kevin Kyle responded to her words, by going at it more passionately. The night was descending, but the heat in the room was just getting started. It was unclear how much time has passed, but to them, it felt like an instant It wasn't until Karen Daly felt weak on her knees that the atmosphere turned peaceful again. She was very tired and sleepy. She was so sleepy that she could fall asleep just by shutting her eyelids but she didn't want to let it happen. She wanted to hear more of Kevin Kyle's accelerating heartbeat, or just have a conversation with him as she wanted to listen to his voice. Kevin Kyle held Karen Daly in his embrace, his hands patting her lightly on the back and he lowered his head to kiss her forehead. Then he asked, "Tired?" Of course she was! She was exhausted, so exhausted she could just pass out. She'd never felt like this before. But how could he expect her to answer such an embarrassing question? The man was evil. His usual noble and elegant look disappeared with his clothes, and he turned into a hungry werewolf, gnawing on her to the point where she couldn't fend him off. Kevin Kyle lowered his head until he was making eye contact with her and asked, "Karen Daly, since you're not talking, can I take it that you're tired?" Karen Daly lay on his bare chest and shook her head. She responded softly, "No." "So you're not tired?" "Bastard!" Karen Daly gave him a pinch. What did he want? Doesn't he know that she gets easily embarrassed by these questions? "Karen "Hmm?" "No, it's fine. Go to sleep." He patted her on the back, like cooing a child to sleep. Karen Daly was indeed tired, having tortured by him, and she fell asleep in his arms a while later. Kevin Kyle watched her sleep, and there was an unspeakable sense of content in his heart. He was melting It felt good to be able to have her back, and to be able to hold her to sleep! He'd waited day and night for three years for Karen Daly's return. And now he could finally hold her in his embrace, and to adore her like never before. Everything was so surreal, and she was really there right by his side It was at this moment, that he was sure that his Karen Daly had returned to him. He'd heard her just now, when she said that she liked him. But he didn't say anything back. Because her words ignited his passion towards her. He didn't know how to respond, so he responded through his movements "Karen, you said that you like me, and I do too." He did not know how much she adored him, but he knew that he could never live without her. "Kevin, I'll try harder, I will work harder.." Karen Daly was muttering in her sleep, and Kevin Kyle held her even closer as he gently reprimanded her, "Silly girl!" She could have just relied on him, but she didn't say anything to him and wanted to do things her way instead.
