Kevin Kyle must have responded in a different language for a reason.
If she confronted Kevin Kyle earlier, she would not get an answer. She decided to ask the doctor in secret instead.
The doctor smiled and said, "Mrs. Kyle, don't worry. Director Kevin was just worried about his physical conditions. He was worried that he will fall unconscious again."
"Is that all?" Karen Daly asked.
There was no need for Kevin Kyle to explain those concerns to the doctor in French. She was sceptical.
"Yes." The doctor nodded, yet he was blinking a lot.
"Doctor, please tell me the truth," Karen Daly said firmly.
She knew it was impossible to get truths out from those who work for Kevin Kyle.
However, she still didn't give up despite the slim chances. She was persistent in getting the answer from the doctor.
The doctor responded helplessly, "Mrs. Kyle, Director Kevin asked me in French because he didn't want you to worry about him. You should understand his intention."
"Is he in a bad condition?" Since she didn't know what Kevin Kyle and the doctor discussed about, she was thinking about all kinds of possibilities in her mind. She was getting very worried and anxious.
She was so scared that her voice and body began to tremble... she would be driven crazy by her own mind if she could not get the truth.
The doctor sighed and answered, "The HDR virus has been in Director Kevin's body for a while. The virus has spread all over the body. His vision has been affected."
The doctor knew that hiding it from her would only make her more anxious. By telling her the truth, she would not ruminate too much in a pool of uncertainty. This option definitely will cause less harm to Karen Daly, which was consistent with Kevin Kyle's intention anyway.
After listening to the doctor's words, Karen Daly nodded her head and sighed.
No wonder she felt that Kevin Kyle's eyes were not as sharp and bright as before. It turned out that his vision was affected, and the silly man wanted to hide it from her again.
"Thank you, doctor." Karen Daly took a deep breath and smiled at the doctor, "I'll pretend that I don't know about this since he doesn't want me to know about this."
Kevin Kyle didn't want her to worry, so she will pretend that she was clueless and hide her worries away. Then, he would not have to worry about her too.
After the doctor left, Karen Daly leaned against the wall outside the ward and cried. She was not sure if she was crying because she was anxious for Kevin Kyle, or that she was moved by his tendency to always think for her despite being so weak right now.
The big fool, Kevin Kyle!
Why can't he just be selfish and think for himself for once? Why can't he stop worrying for her?
He was a businessman.
Weren't all businessmen good at planning for their benefits?
He was so decisive and could do whatever he wanted in the business field. But why does he act so stupid in front of her?
Was it because she is his wife?
He would treat her well unconditionally and bear everything for her. Why would he be so selfless?
