"Mommy, open your mouth, I'll feed you this apple!" Little Karen held a piece of the apple sliced by her father and fed it to her mother.
As Karen Daly had woken up, Little Karen was ecstatic. No matter who she came across, she would brag happily and said, "My mom never wanted to leave me. Mommy loves me very much."
Therefore, Little Karen took the initiative to feed her mother with the fruits her father had sliced. This was because her mother had just awakened and still did not have enough strength, so she needed to take good care of her mother together with her father.
"Thank you, honey!" After Karen gently expressed her gratitude, she opened her mouth and bites the apple. When she bites the apple, she deliberately bites Little Karen's finger as well.
"Mom, that’ s my finger!" Little Karen instinctively wanted to withdraw her little finger, but just as she wanted to move away, she stopped.
Her father told her that her mother was very weak and asked her to take good care of her mother.
She firmly remembered her father's advice, so she didn't dare to withdraw her fingers forcefully. What if she hurt her mother, and her mother fell asleep and ignored her and her father again? What should she do then?
"Can’t I eat your fingers?" Karen pretended that she did not understand and deliberately teased their daughter.
"No!" Little Karen shook her head nervously and said in a soft but affirmative tone.
She assumed that her mother must have been in a bad state of mind since she had been in a coma for such a long time, so she made such strange remarks.
"But if I want to eat your finger, could I?" Karen could not resist teasing her when she saw Little Karen’s fluttering eyes flooded with surprise and disbelief.
Little Karen pursed her lips. She shook her head, then nodded, and shook again, "Mom, my hands are dirty. You can't eat them!"
Little Karen did not directly say no to her mother. Instead, she really thought about her mother's request. She considered letting her mother bite her once, but when she thought that a bitten finger would cause much pain, she hesitated.
Karen got close to Little Karen and kissed her rosy cheeks. "Honey, I'm just teasing you. You're my baby. I just want to kiss you. I won't bite your finger."
She had to pull back on her teasing. If she continued, what if she frightened Little Karen and made her cry? Karen certainly knew that she had to stop joking.
After waking up for two days, Karen definitely looked much better. Of course, she had Kevin who took care of her meticulously.
Those two days after she came round, Kevin had never left her side. He instructed his domestic helpers to prepare her medications according to the doctor's prescriptions, then he would feed Karen personally.
He did that every meal very gently and carefully, with no ounce of impatience observed. Many people admired his deeds.
After peeling the fruit, Kevin held Little Karen in his arms and kissed her rosy pink cheeks. "Hey, Mommy loves you the most. Why would she bite you?"
"Don't call Little Karen silly. She is the smartest baby." Maybe it was because Karen had just recently lost her child, she doted on Little Karen even more. No one was allowed to use any negative words on their daughter.
"Well, it’s my fault!" Kevin grinned and said, "Our Little Karen is definitely the smartest child in the world, and I am the stupidest person."
In front of Karen and Little Karen, Kevin was willing to give in no matter what. He was willing to be the "stupidest" among the three of them.
He was more than willing to love them and dote on them for the rest of his life!
