My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 469

Little Karen was doing too well for such a young child. Everyone else didn't know how to speak to her or comfort her.

Everyone could see that Little Karen had been keeping Brother Lionel in her mind. She didn't say anything because she believed that Brother Lionel would come back.

She was waiting for his return with everyone else. She was waiting for him to return and be her guardian.

However, a few days had passed and Brother Lionel wasn't back yet, so Little Karen suddenly broke down.

When she came back from kindergarten in the evening and did not see her Brother Lionel, she began to burst into tears as Karen Daly walked her to her Taekwondo lessons.

Her crying was so loud that it could be heard by everyone in the family.

"Baby Karen, what's wrong?" Mama Kyle rushed over and she felt so heartbroken by Little Karen's crying that she wanted to cry too.

"Karen, did someone bully you? Tell me, so I can help you deal with them." Mia Kyle took some tissues to wipe Little Karen's tears.

"Brother Lionel, I want Brother Lionel..." Little Karen wiped her tears. The more she cried, the louder she was. She kept shouting for Brother Lionel.

"Baby Karen..." Karen held Little Karen in her arms and kissed her. Her heart ached, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

"I want Brother Lionel..." Little Karen was still crying. No one knew how to console her.

"Little Karen, Brother Lionel is doing something very important. He can't stay with you for the time being. When you grow up, he will return to your side and continue to accompany you." It was not good to lie to her daughter, but Karen was running out of ideas.

"Like Mommy?" Little Karen suddenly stopped crying. She wiped her tears and looked attentively at her mother. "In the past, I didn't have you, but I grew up obediently. Then you came back. So, if I continue to be obedient, will Brother Lionel come back?"

As Little Karen brought up the fact that her mother was absent from her life before, Karen's heart ached again. She hugged her tightly in her arms and kissed her.

Karen said gently, "Yes, so you'll just have to behave well. When you grow up, you can meet Brother Lionel again."

She clearly knew that she shouldn't lie to Little Karen like this, but Karen just agreed helplessly to Little Karen's question.

Perhaps there would be a miracle one day. Brother Lionel would come back to her side like her mother who went missing for many years.

"In that case, I should grow up quickly so that Brother Lionel would come back to find me." Little Karen wiped her tears and said softly.

"Yes..." Karen nodded, but she couldn't say anything else to lie to Little Karen.

Although Little Karen believed in her mother's words, she missed Brother Lionel too much. She fell sick and had a dangerously high fever.

If the fever would not go down after some time, the doctor said that she might have pneumonia.

Little Karen's temperature was unstable. Her fever would subside, but it would come back after a few hours. This had happened a few times.

This afternoon, Little Karen's fever subsided. But after a few hours, her body temperature was rising again, so the doctor put her on an IV drip.

Her right arm had already been pricked several times because it was difficult to find her blood vessels, so it was a little swollen. Hence, the doctor placed the IV drip on her upper arm instead.

Although Little Karen was the one on drips, Karen felt a sharp pain in her chest.
