Although she said she was fine, how could someone be absolutely fine knowing their father got murdered?
Fortunately, Karen had Kevin with her.
When she was sad, Kevin stayed by her side, being the strong man she could fall back to.
Karen was sad, but she managed to stay rational.
Because she knew that Kevin would worry about her if she was sad.
Her father in heaven wouldn't want to see her sad too, so she told herself to stay strong.
On the way home, Karen cried in Kevin's arms until she fell asleep.
She did not sleep well, and her body twitched from time to time. Kevin could tell that the revelation shocked her so much that it affected her subconsciously too.
Kevin patted on her back gently, trying to comfort her like a child.
He tried his best to hide it from her, but he didn't expect that she would hear the news from himself.
She had never visited his office to wait for him to get off work before, so he did not expect her to be there today.
And because of that, the news about Herbert's murder was disclosed to her without any warning.
Karen was not prepared at all. The news that her father survived all those years ago just to get murdered now hit her so hard.
At that moment, Kevin could understand how much pain she felt.
But it didn't matter if he understood it, he couldn't shift her pain onto himself.
He said that he would protect her well and never let her get hurt, but it still happened.
Thinking about that, Kevin's grip around Karen tightened. How he wished that he could resurrect Herbert to let them reconcile with each other.
When they got home, Karen had not woken up yet. Kevin got out of the car first and gently picked her up. After a few steps, George stopped them.
"What did you do to her?" George glanced at Karen, who was in Kevin's arms with her eyes all red and sore from crying.
"She already knows." Kevin calmly replied. He turned sideways to avoid George then continued walking.
"What does she know?" George turned around, grabbed Kevin's shoulder, and said gloomily, "Kevin, make yourself clear first."
It would have been very easy for Kevin to shake off George's grip, but he was holding Karen in his arms, and he didn't want to disturb her.
"Get your hands off me!" Kevin glared at him, his eyes cold and frightening.
"If you dare hurt her in any way, I'll kill you." George clenched his fists and did not want to let go of him.
George was blinded by his suspicion towards Kevin, so no matter how he saw it, Kevin was not a good man.
In the past two days, he had been thinking about the disguise Kevin wore.
If he exposed his mask, how terrifying could his real being be?
"George!" Kevin bellowed.
"Kevin, give her to me." George did not back down.
George didn't know why Karen was crying, but as her brother, he must protect her. He also remembered his father's last words, asking him to save her from Kevin.
Now that he identified Kevin as a bad guy, he naturally thought he bullied Karen.
