My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 216

Karen Daly understood Little Karen's words. The child's mind was very simple, but it carried a different meaning to an adult's ears.

Karen Daly shook her head and told herself not to think too much. She could help Little Karen take a bath first and accompany her to sleep before leaving.

"Miss Daly, this is Little Karen's towel, pajamas... Sorry to trouble you with these things," Lynn, who usually took care of Little Karen, handed over Little Karen's toiletries to Karen Daly and left right after.

Karen Daly went straight to the bathroom with Little Karen in her arms. She didn't even look around the large room, but how could she have known where the bathroom was?

Little Karen liked playing with water. She flopped in her bathtub and splashed the water all over Karen Daly's body.

Karen Daly rubbed Little Karen's head and said softly, "Little Karen if you play with water and you'll catch a cold. Then you'll get a snotty nose. That way, you won't be very cute."

Little Karen immediately stopped moving and said, "I don't want to catch a cold, I want to be cute."

Karen Daly said, "Well then don't splash around anymore. Let me help you with your bath. After that, let's go to bed, okay?"

"Okay!" Little Karen nodded vigorously.

Karen Daly had never taken care of such a small child. The child was tiny, and her small arms and legs were particularly cute.

When helping Little Karen with her bath, Karen Daly thought of Little Karen's mother, the woman who had disappeared.

Her husband was so good, and the child was so cute. How could she give them up so cruelly?

Or perhaps what Karen Daly saw was only superficial. How could she, an outsider, know about the family's relationships?

Little Karen had been making a fuss for the whole day and didn't take a nap at noon. Now that she was quiet, she was soon sleepy. While she was sitting in the bathtub, she was already nodding off.

Worrying that she would catch a cold, Karen Daly quickly wrapped her up with a bath towel, wiped her face, carried her back to the room, and put Little Karen in bed. She also helped her put on her pajamas.

Karen Daly pulled the quilt over her. When she was about to turn around to clean up the bathroom, the little child reached out her little hand and grabbed one of Karen's fingers. "Mom—"

Suddenly hearing this, Karen Daly felt that her heart seemed to be pierced. It was a little painful and a little sour.

Little Karen never missed her mother during the day, but when she was sleeping, she did miss her mother.

Karen Daly stopped in her tracks and sat down beside the big bed. She held Little Karen's hand and lowered her head to kiss her little face. "Good girl Karen, go to sleep."

"Sister-in-law... Miss Daly, I was wondering why the door was not closed. It turns out that you are here to take care of Little Karen. Where is my brother? Is he taking a bath?" Mia Kyle said as she walked in, and even stretched her head to look at the bathroom.

"Your brother is on a business trip. Little Karen asked me to accompany her. She just fell asleep," Karen Daly replied. Hearing this, she felt a little embarrassed. However, she was not afraid of what other people would say. She had no other thoughts.

"Your clothes are wet, I'll get you some pajamas."

"It's fine. I'll take a bath in the guest room later. I'll just blow them dry with the hairdryer."
