Karen, can you hear me?
Karen, can you feel me?
If you can hear me or feel me, just say something.
Just move your eyelashes or your fingers... Don't let me feel so lonely while I'm waiting for you. He thought.
He was so lonely, he felt like he had been abandoned by the whole world.
"Karen..."
Kevin held her hand to his lips and kissed her gently. Deep inside his heart, he kept calling her name.
He hoped that she would respond to him.
He hoped that he could hear her gently call out to him-Kevin!"
But after waiting for three long months, her eyes were still closed tightly and she still lay quietly, not willing to open her eyes to look at him.
Was this the punishment she had given him?
The punishment for faking their divorce when he knew that she had been threatened.
She must have known the truth, so she punished him in such a cruel way, letting him know how sad she was at that time.
"Daddy!"
Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Little Karen poked her head into the room and softly called out to her father.
Hearing Little Karen's voice, his heart, which felt like it was immersed in an ice cellar, melted. He hid the pain in his eyes and turned to look at the door with a gentle expression. "You’re here."
Little Karen rushed to her father's arms and wiggled. She looked up at her mother lying on the bed and said, "Daddy, I miss Mommy."
She wanted her mother to wake up, wanted her mother to tie up her beautiful braids, wanted her mother to hold her in her arms and kiss her, and she wanted her mother to accompany her to kindergarten.
When her mother came back, she had always done these things for her. After her mother was injured, it was her Little Aunt and grandmother who took care of her.
Although her grandmother and aunt could tie her hair just as well, it was never as good as how her mother did it.
She wanted her mother to do a lot of things with her, but her mother had been sleeping all the time. No matter how much she called her, her mother did not wake up.
Was it because she was not as cute as she used to be so her mother didn't want to see her? Was that why she didn't want to wake up?
Thinking of this, Little Karen's big eyes became dark, "Daddy, Mommy doesn't want me anymore?"
Because she didn't have a mother when she was born, her heart had always been more sensitive than other children. She thought that her mother had abandoned her.
"Silly girl!" Kevin kissed her pink face and said gently, "Mommy loves you the most, how could Mommy not want you?"
"Then why is Mommy not waking up?" She asked pitifully. It felt like if he did not give her the answer she wanted, she would burst into tears.
"Because Mommy was injured when she tried to save us, she was badly injured, that's why Mommy..." Speaking of this, Kevin felt a tight squeeze in his heart, which made him feel a little breathless.
