"Karen, was the man your friend?"
When she returned to the ward, she saw her father asked with a worried face. Karen Daly nodded honestly and said, "He is the father of the little baby girl I told you before."
"Karen—" Samuel Daly looked at Karen and wanted to say something but stopped. It seemed that there were a lot of things that he wanted to say to her, but he couldn't say it out loud.
"Dad, if you have something to say, just say it," Karen helped Samuel Daly stand up and said while walking, "I am your daughter. Is there anything that you can't tell me?"
Samuel Daly touched Karen's head and let out a long sigh. "Your mother left early, leaving only us to rely on each other. If anything bad happens to you, I will definitely die."
Karen said, "Dad, why do you suddenly say such sad words? I'll be fine. I'll stay by your side and take care of you."
"I know that you are a good girl, but—" Samuel Daly shook his head and sighed deeply. Then he said, "That man is the head of the Rovio Corporation Inc. We are not in the same world as him."
"Dad, I know. I know what I'm doing!" She nodded and felt sad in her heart but she couldn't explain how she felt.
She had promised Kevin so quickly that he could pursue her. In addition to her curiosity about his past, her most important consideration was Little Karen, she liked the little girl so much that she wished to accompany her more.
Kevin had suddenly said that he wanted to pursue her. It happened so randomly that she didn't have any mental preparation at all.
Karen had only met him a few times. She knew very well why Kevin pursued her. When he realized that she was not his wife, he would eventually let her go.
"Karen, you don't understand my meaning," Samuel Daly stood still, looked at Karen, and said earnestly, "My child, I will leave you sooner or later. There must be a man who to take care of you in future. No matter who he is, I hope that you can see him clearly and see if he is really good to you."
Karen understood her father's concern, so she agreed obediently and stopped talking.
After dinner, Karen ran around the garden downstairs ... Since she recovered from her serious illness, she had always maintained her habit of exercising. Every time she broke out in a sweat, she could always clear her mind, as if all her worries had been washed away.
To be honest, Samuel Daly's words further complicated the feelings of Karen's heart. Now her mind was full of Kevin. The moment she closed her eyes, she would think of his eyes, full of sparks, and his gaze, landing on hers, filled with infatuation.
But... this feeling wasn't hers, was it?
Karen felt a burst of frustration for no reason. She couldn't explain why she was so frustrated in her heart and she even had no mood to run.
In desperation, she had no choice but to return home and decided to cool down for a while by taking a bath.
Standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, looking at the centipede-like scar on her abdomen, she could not help but reach out and touch it with her fingers.
She didn't know how she had gotten the scar on her abdomen.
She asked her father once, but he sighed and said nothing. After that, she never asked again.
Suddenly, Karen thought of what Kevin had said to her today. He said that his wife was seriously injured in a car accident and asked the doctor to protect the child.
That was to say, his wife had not given to Little Karen naturally, but via a Caesarean section.
Then she and Little Karen...
Karen quickly shook her head. Her imagination was too wild. How could Little Karen have anything to do with her?
