But it didn't work at all. Karen Daly was very weak as if she would fall down any time, just like the last time she fell sick.
Maybe she was sick, and she was more sick than usual. One dose of medicine had no effect on her anymore.
Karen Daly went to the living room, poured a glass of water, and took another dose of medicine.
After taking the medicine, Karen Daly went back to her room and lied down on the bed. She closed her eyes and hoped that the effect of the medicine would be effective as soon as possible so that she would not be so uncomfortable.
Karen Daly waited for a long time, but she didn't feel better. Instead, she broke out in a cold sweat.
Two years ago, when she was discharged from the hospital, she'd feel better after taking the medications. Why was it different today?
Karen Daly felt frustrated. She was so sick. She wanted to call her father, but she didn't want him to worry, so she put down her phone.
Suddenly, a call came in. She took it back and saw Kevin Kyle's name. Her heart softened for some reason. When she answered the phone, she heard Kevin Kyle's low voice, "What are you doing?"
"I..." Karen Daly sniffed and suddenly felt sad that she wanted to cry, but she suppressed her pain and tried to speak in a calm tone. "I think I am sick."
"Don't hang up the phone. Wait for me."
Then, Karen Daly vaguely heard the sound of the door closing. She held the mobile phone and buried her head in the pillow, feeling uncomfortable as if thousands of ants were devouring her heart.
Not long later, Kevin Kyle's voice came from the phone again, "Open the door."
"Open what door?" Karen Daly did not understand. She had already lost her senses, so she did not expect Kevin Kyle to appear in front of her door.
"Open your house door." Kevin Kyle's voice came from the phone again, his voice was a little anxious.
"Ah?" Karen Daly let out a silly sound and felt so confused. Then, she realized that Kevin Kyle was asking her to open her door.
She got up and staggered out of the door with her weak body. When she walked to the door, she reached out to hold the doorknob. She felt like she had caught it, but she failed to grab it.
"Karen—" Kevin Kyle's voice came from outside.
"I'm opening the door. Wait for a while." Karen Daly looked for the knob for a long time before opening the door. After opening the door, she couldn't even see Kevin Kyle's appearance clearly. "Are you Kevin Kyle?"
"It's me. I'm Kevin Kyle, your Kevin Kyle." Kevin Kyle grabbed her by her waist and carried her away.
"Kevin, what are you doing?" Karen Daly pushed him, but her body was really weak. She laid lazily in his arms.
"I am bringing you home." Back to their home, he would never let her stay outside alone and never let her bear the pain and loneliness alone.
"Home? Whose home?" Karen Daly muttered to herself, "Where my father is, is my home. He's not here, and I don't know where my home is."
She was sick, helpless, and afraid. It must be because her father was not by her side. It must be it.
In the past three years, her father had never left her. Today, her father's sudden departure made her so helpless.
