Karen Daly still remembered Kevin Kyle's words after they got married. He described marriage as a legal process of handing each other's lives to one another.
If one of them were to fall seriously ill, the other one could authorize or sign off on medical procedures on the partner's behalf.
So the word "wife" was no longer as simple as she thought it was when she just got married. Instead, it was a promise to care for each other for the rest of their lives.
If Nick Black didn't understand the meaning of the word ‘wife’, Karen Daly would need to force him to understand - she needed to know where Kevin Kyle was and whether he was safe and sound at all costs.
After a moment of silence, Nick Black replied, "Mrs. Kyle, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but Director Kevin doesn't want me to tell you."
"Is it about the secrets of Rovio Incorporation? Or is it some other top secret that you can't tell me? If not, why can't you tell me? Did something happen and he does not want me to worry? If something did happen, and I can't take care of him and be by his side, wouldn't I be more worried?" Karen replied in an agitated tone.
How could Kevin Kyle, that silly man, be so stupid? Why did he have to bear everything alone? Why couldn't he trust her for once?
Karen Daly's words made sense. Nick Black also knew that Kevin Kyle had asked them to hide the truth from Karen Daly because he didn't want her to worry. However, she had already guessed that something bad had happened to Kevin Kyle. Even if Nick didn't tell her, she would know eventually.
After mulling it over for a while, Nick Black was about to tell Karen Daly the truth, when Amelia Gray suddenly grabbed the phone and hung up.
She said, "Nick Black, the news that Director Kevin is unconscious cannot be leaked. Once it is known by others, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Nick Black refuted, "Karen Daly is not "others". She is Director Kevin’s wife and the mother of his child."
Amelia Gray sneered and said, "Nick Black, Director Kevin had been befuddled. Are you the same too?"
Nick Black said discontentedly, "What do you mean?"
Amelia Gray added, "Director Kevin’s wife had already passed away three years ago. The elders of the Kyle family witnessed her body being cremated. Do you think a person who died three years ago will resurrect?"
Nick Black asked, "Are you saying that this wife is a fake?"
Amelia Gray said, "I can't guarantee that she's a fake, but I don't believe she's real either. Think about it, how did she come back? Did she really forget all about the past or was it something else?"
Hearing Amelia Gray’s words, Nick Black was a little convinced.
Perhaps Director Kevin did not want Karen Daly to know about him falling ill, because he discovered something suspicious, and not because he was concerned for her.
Director Kevin had always been cautious. However, just yesterday, he ingested an unknown drug and suddenly fainted.
Who else would be able to drug him unknowingly other than a person he could fully trust? It did seem like Karen Daly could be a suspect.
Amelia Gray saw that Nick Black was hesitating, so she continued, "Didn't you say that Director Kevin wouldn't let you tell his wife before he fainted? If you tell Karen Daly now, how would you explain yourself to Director Kevin when he wakes up?"
Nick Black didn't say anything else. In any case, he knew it was right to listen to his master's instructions.
He could not do anything to confirm if Karen Daly was an imposter. Everything could only be discussed after Kevin Kyle wakes up.
However, they didn't expect that Karen Daly could track them down.
About an hour later, Karen Daly appeared before them.
Amelia Gray was shocked to see Karen Daly, she quickly stood up to stop her. "Miss Daly, the doctor has just checked up on Director Kevin and asked for others not to disturb him during this time. Let him have a good rest."
