Their loving family would be crushed by his vengeance, and Little Karen would lose her beloved father.
And the person who would cause her to lose all of that would be, her own uncle!
But if he doesn't seek revenge for his father, how would he honor his father's last words? That would be unfair to him.
What should he do?
"Uncle!"
Little Karen's soft voice brought George Ken back from his thoughts. He saw her blinking her big eyes, staring at him intently.
George forced a smile, "Yes dear?"
"If you're hurting, I can help you!" Little Karen moved towards him and blew into his hands. Then she raised her head and asked softly, "Uncle, does it still hurt?"
"Since you helped blow away the pain, it does not hurt anymore." George pressed his lips together and smiled gently.
Little Karen's smile was innocent, lively, and cute. She also trusted her uncle so much.
But her uncle's thoughts were all about how to kill her father.
George couldn't imagine how she would be like if she lost her father.
"Well if it doesn't hurt anymore. I'll stay here to entertain you. Mommy, you can go and see if daddy is back." Seeing Little Karen be so considerate and obedient made Karen feel happy.
"I'll stay here with Uncle now, then when Daddy comes back, I'll accompany him." Although she loved her uncle, her father was still the priority in her heart.
"Okay, I will tell Daddy. Treat your uncle well, alright?" Karen glanced back to George, "I'll go get busy first. Call me whenever you're ready to talk."
"Baby Karen, can you tell me what happened at your kindergarten today?" George asked the little girl, ignoring Karen as he was afraid he would tell her everything by accident.
Karen understood what he wanted, so she left, leaving the uncle and his niece to themselves.
Little Karen reportedly seriously, "The children at the kindergarten were not good, and they were ugly. I don't like them, so I don't play with them."
"What? You didn't want to play with them just because they were ugly?" George asked with an exaggerated expression.
Little Karen nodded obediently, "Mhmm. I don't like ugly people!"
"You playful girl!" George laughed as he pinched her cheek, "You must have learned to judge other people's looks from your Little Aunt!"
Although judging someone by their looks was a bad habit, it wasn't really Little Karen's fault.
Everyone in their family was very goodlooking, so it was natural for her to have high standards.
"Uncle, it hurts!" Little Karen slapped her uncle's hand away and pouted.
Her uncle wasn't being nice. He pinched her so hard that it hurts.
George then touched her face gently, "Then which man do you think is handsome?"
Without any hesitation, Little Karen answered, "My daddy and my Brother Lionel are the most handsome people on earth!"
