Kevin Kyle looked really handsome when he smiled. Karen Daly was always mesmerized by him.
If Karen had to describe Kevin's smile, she would say how his smile would put everything around him to shame.
He seldom smiled when she saw him for the first time. He would only move the corners of his mouth slightly and refrain himself from smiling widely. No one could tell if he was really smiling.
For a long time, Karen thought Kevin was a serious and tense person who didn't like to smile, or that he wouldn't even laugh!
After that, she realized that he had always been carrying too many responsibilities on his shoulder. He was used to numbing his emotions to get through every day.
When he took off his mask, he was just like a big child, especially how he was afraid of taking medicine whenever he fell sick, and how he was afraid of needles.
Sometimes, Kevin was so childish that he would get jealous of even the smallest things. He was afraid that his daughter would grow up and get taken away by her brother Lionel.
He could laugh, he could express his anger, and acted like a kid at times — this was the real Kevin that she knew.
Karen wanted so badly for him to remain true to himself and be comfortable around her.
She had been working hard to be a great partner for him, always providing him great support.
However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not give him much support. She did not meet her expectations to be a perfect wife.
"Karen, can you just listen to me for once??" Kevin spoke angrily. He wished that he could throw this silly woman into the sea.
"I remember everything you say to me. I'll never forget your words." Karen was getting a little dizzy and she was fading out.
What impressed Karen most was Kevin's promise on the second day after they got married and lived together. He told her that no matter what, they must learn to get along with each other, and never abandon each other easily.
Since then, Kevin had tried his best to be a great husband. When she needed care, he always appeared by her side and gave her his utmost attention and support.
In the past, when she was in Innovative Tech, her colleagues stopped bullying her after learning that she was married to their director.
Whenever Charlie Gook appeared, he would stay by her side and help her get through every single obstacle.
He told her that he was not only her husband but also the man she could rely on unconditionally.
Perhaps he didn't know that she would feel guilty over all the love and care she had gotten all these years and that she would try harder to help him out too so he wouldn't need to worry about her.
Karen didn't want to disclose the truth about the snake bite, so Kevin examined her body. He noticed that her ankle was gradually turning dark.
Kevin held her foot up and checked it properly. The wound was so small that it was barely noticeable. Kevin immediately thought about the possibility of a poisonous snake bite.
