Kevin Kyle hoped that she could say a few more words. He had a lot of things to say to her. He wanted to know how she had lived in the past three years.
He wanted to tell her that Little Karen was already three years old. She is cute, sensible, but sometimes she's a headache.
But he couldn't say that to her right now.
Or, he didn't know what to say.
His wife, his Karen Daly, she could no longer remember their past.
"Asteria?" Kevin Kyle repeated her name several times and said with a smile, "Asteria sounds very interesting. She's the Goddess of the Star Night in Greek mythology. Presumably, your real name should be nice too."
Suddenly, she heard someone ask for her real name again, and Asteria could not help but felt a little embarrassed. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Two years ago, I was seriously ill and forgot everything about the past. My father didn't tell me my real name, but he called me Karen."
Karen.
The tip of her tongue was pressed against her lower lip, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised. She could say these two words.
It was simple but unforgettable.
His Karen came back. This time, she really came back. It was not a dream for him to really appear beside her.
"Well, thank you for today!" She said.
If she hadn't met him today, she wouldn't know how crazy she would be in the elevator. She might hurt innocent people, so she should thank him.
"You bought me a sightseeing ticket. I should thank you first," he said.
"You're welcome." She smiled shyly again. "If there's nothing else, I want to go home first."
"Do you need me to send you home?" He asked carefully, he is afraid that she would refuse his offer.
She shook her head and said with a smile, "No, I'll take the subway home."
"Then—" Could you give me your contact number?
Kevin Kyle didn't say more. He was afraid that it would make her feel uncomfortable. Finally, he could only swallow back his words and nodded. "Be careful on the way."
"Well, goodbye. See you."
"Okay, goodbye."
She turned around and left without hesitation.
Looking at her figure getting further and further, Kevin Kyle didn't keep up with her. He just clenched his fists, restrained and suppressed them.
The person in front of him was clearly his wife and his child's mother. However, he was a stranger to her.
Even the "farewell" that he just said was so polite. She definitely didn't mean to see him again.
In the past, he had fantasized about all kinds of scenes when he met her again.
He had thought that when he found her, he would hold her in his arms and never let go of her. He would be with her all the time.
He had thought that when they meet again, she would happily throw herself into his arms and ask him if he missed her in her beautiful voice.
He had fantasized about many scenes of reunion with her, but none of them was the same as what he had seen today.
