Little Karen nodded obediently. She did not cry or make any more noise. She acted as if his departure did not bother her at all.
Lionel forced himself to look away as he tried to leave.
He turned around and took a step forward.
Behind him, Little Karen lifted her long hem up and followed him.
He had long legs. For every step he took, it would take Little Karen two or three steps just to keep up with him.
Within a few steps later, Lionel couldn't take it any longer. He looked back at Little Karen, and when he turned around, Little Karen was still following him like a persistent shadow.
At this moment, Lionel desperately wished that he could just leave everything behind.
He wanted to stay with Little Karen and watch her grow up, or he could bring Little Karen with him and take her to his country...
But he couldn't do any of that. No matter what ideas he had, he couldn't do that. He could not act recklessly.
The country was his responsibility. Since he promised his mother that he would take up these responsibilities, there was no way for him to quit.
Little Karen's identity was also very high-profile. Her father would never let anyone take her away.
None of these two methods would work.
If he took the wrong step at this moment, he would end up in a miserable position. The country could be destroyed!
"Little Karen, please don't follow me. The people sent by your daddy will be here soon." Lionel stiffened up and ignored Little Karen. He turned around and continued walking forward.
Little Karen couldn't care less. She lifted the hem of her dress and continued to follow behind Brother Lionel. Every step that Brother Lionel took, she would chase after him with more steps.
She kept on chasing him. No matter what, she did not want to stop.
"Little Karen, you'd have to listen to what I said!" Little Karen kept on following him. Lionel stopped his steps again and turned around to remind her.
"Brother Lionel, I want to follow you..." Little Karen tried to grab him, but as he took a step forward, she could not hold him at all.
She knew what Brother Lionel had said to her, but in the meantime, she didn't quite get what he meant... All she knew was that, if she let him go now, it would be a long time before she could see Brother Lionel again.
As a young girl, she really tried her very best to hold back her tears. But after all, she was still too young. Brother Lionel walked away faster and faster. When she finally couldn't catch up with him, she cried desperately.
She cried so loud it attracted the attention of the people who were looking for her immediately. When those guys came over, she wiped her tears and looked over in the direction where Brother Lionel left, but he was nowhere to be found.
Without Brother Lionel, Little Karen cried even more bitterly. No one was allowed to get close to her. She kept on crying and crying, without saying anything.
She only cried less when her parents rushed over to her later.
Karen hugged Little Karen tightly, and she kept on kissing and coaxing her. "Baby, why are you so sad? Tell me, what happened?"
Karen did not know what had happened, but Kevin knew... When he learned that Zuriel was also on the island, he instantly knew who had taken Little Karen away.
Because he knew who had taken Little Karen away, he figured that person would never hurt her as well. Hence, he wanted to drag Karen away to continue their "wedding night".
