The car rolled to a stop, and there were staff coming to pick the car up but Kevin Kyle waved his hand to tell them to wait.
Karen Daly was still asleep in the passenger's seat but she didn't sleep soundly. She seemed to be frightened by something several times and was trembling with fear along the way.
In the past, whenever she fell asleep, she occasionally slept till dawn, but sometimes she had nightmares, so she barely had any sleep.
Now, almost every night, Karen Daly would be bothered by nightmares. He heard her screaming hysterically and asking for help, but he couldn't help her.
He could not even hug her in his arms and tell her that he is by her side and not to be afraid.
Three years ago, in the staged "car accident", those people had forcefully taken Little Karen out of Karen Daly's womb.
Although he did not witness it with his own eyes, as long as he thought of it, he would feel as if a knife was twisting in his heart, and he would feel so painful that his organs were broken into pieces.
At that time, Karen Daly was pregnant and couldn't do anything. She couldn't resist and couldn't escape. How desperate and fearful she must have been!
Thinking of this, Kevin Kyle couldn't help but take a deep breath. Looking at Karen Daly, his eyes became gentle like water, and he whispered her name, "Karen —"
As if she could hear his voice, Kevin Kyle saw Karen Daly's brows moving. He couldn't help but reach out his hand to touch her to prove that she was really beside him.
But before his hand could touch her, her long eyelashes blinked twice and she slowly opened her eyes.
Kevin Kyle's hand froze in mid-air. After a pause, he withdrew it and said softly, "You're awake."
"Yes." Karen Daly nodded in confusion. It took her quite a while to realize where she was and why Kevin Kyle was by her side. "Where are we now?"
Karen Daly had just woken up. Her voice sounded lazy yet lovely, and a little confused.
Kevin Kyle suddenly thought of Little Karen at home, Little Karen would also be in a daze whenever she woke up. There were too many similarities between the mother and daughter.
"Ocean Behae Villa," Kevin Kyle replied as he looked at Karen Daly, who was in a daze and could not help but chuckle. "It's almost dawn. I'll take you to a place."
Karen Daly nodded. "Okay!"
Kevin Kyle handed the car keys to the attending staff and turned to grab Karen Daly's hand. Just as he was about to touch her, she instinctively dodged.
He paused slightly and then reached out his hand again to grab her quickly. He held her hand forcefully and tightly, not allowing her to break free.
This time, Karen Daly did not want to pull it back. She made up her mind to enjoy this day with him, so she would not hesitate any longer.
Thinking of this, Karen Daly couldn't help but look up at Kevin Kyle and accidentally saw him staring at her.
He looked at her and suddenly leaned over to her. Karen Daly was so scared that she closed her eyes quickly, but she heard him laughing in a low voice. He reached out his hand to tuck her hair behind her ears and said softly, "Little fool."
Karen Daly opened her eyes and saw his smile, which seemed to light up the darkness before dawn.
She looked at him blankly, feeling that the dark places of her heart were illuminated by his smile. It was warm and reassuring.
As long as he was here, would there no longer be the endless darkness?
Karen Daly asked herself in her heart.
At the same time, she got a positive answer. Yes, as long as he was there, there would be no endless darkness, nor would there be those nightmares that always haunt her.
