At this moment, Karen realized that nothing could make her feel more at ease than seeing Kevin being alive and well.
As long as he was alive and well, she would be satisfied even if that meant having to walk away.
Although she would be heartbroken if there was another woman by his side, the thought seemed more bearable when compared to his death in her dream earlier.
"Karen, don't be scared. Dreams are often the opposite of our reality." Kevin patted her back and comforted her softly.
"Well, I know, you will be fine," Karen responded even softer.
Perhaps this dream was a warning.
If she stayed with Kevin and acted selfishly... maybe she would end up losing Kevin completely.
"Karen, George is fine now. We have found almost all the evidence of the murderer who killed Old Mr. Ken. He will be punished soon."
Maybe Karen didn't trust him enough. She didn't actually believe that he could really rescue George nor did she think that he could actually find the person who killed her father. Therefore, she was so unhappy and paranoid the entire day.
"I'm glad that George is fine now. You don't have to investigate further. It is no longer important." Karen didn't want Kevin to take any more risks. What if he provoked the murderer and the murderer attacked him?
She had lost two important people in her life. So, no matter what, she could not let Kevin get hurt at all.
That's right, she didn't care about anything else. She only wanted Kevin to be well and alive.
"Ok, if you don't want to investigate further, then we'll stop." Kevin listened to Karen to ease her worry.
Karen looked into Kevin's eyes and said, "Kevin, promise me that you must protect yourself. Don't let anyone hurt you."
"You silly, don't think too much. No one can ever hurt me." Kevin rubbed her head and said softly.
No one in the world could hurt him but her.
"Anyway, you have to promise me that no matter what happens, you have to think about the matter through. There's still Little Karen at home waiting for you."
"You're wrong. I have both my Big and Little Karens waiting for me at home." Kevin pressed Karen's head on his chest and said, "It's getting late. Let's go to bed. The baby needs some sleep even if you don't."
Karen leaned on Kevin's chest and listened to his heartbeat. It was so comforting that she fell asleep after a short while.
Since Karen wasn't sleeping well and acted weird all day, Kevin took some time to think. He took her phone and unlocked the phone with her fingerprint.
After spending a night in Dreamland City, Kevin brought the ladies back to Secret Garden.
Dreamland City felt more like home, but the safety measures there were too weak. With everything that's going on now, Kevin didn't want to risk the safety of his family.
After returning to Secret Garden, Kevin went to work again. Karen and Little Karen were left at home.
Mia was busy with filming, and Faye was still in the States. Karen had no other good support apart from them. She had no one to talk to even when she had something to share.
After a while, she decided to call Faye. Faye sounded quite happy. "Oh, Karen, are you missing me?"
