However, Jackie Leves ignored Karen Joy Kyle's gaze and looked at Nathaniel Cooper. He smiled and said, "This is the girl you think of as your treasure."
Although it sounded like a question, he was sure that he was right.
Nathaniel nodded. Before he could speak, Jackie added, "I used to see how anxious you were for her. I thought very highly of her then."
Jackie looked at Karen Joy again, and he scanned her from head to toe rudely. "It seems that she's nothing special."
What did he mean by nothing special?
Karen Joy really wanted to knock his head out.
Was he blind?
Was he special enough to make that remark?
In her opinion, he was worse.
She didn't know if there was something wrong with Sister Serene's taste, and she didn't understand how she could even miss him in her dreams.
Although she was angry in her heart when she saw that Brother Lionel's face, Karen Joy quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Brother Lionel, as long as you think I'm special, that's enough."
Nathaniel said seriously, "You are the best out there. No one can compare with you."
Looking at Brother Lionel's anxious look, Karen Joy pursed her lips and smiled. "Brother Lionel, of course, I know my worth. If others can't, then it's their loss."
Nathaniel did not respond to her.
Karen Joy blinked her eyes and said playfully, "Don't you think I'm right?"
Nathaniel touched her head lightly. "Has my Karen ever been wrong?"
Karen Joy squeezed into Brother Lionel's arms as if nothing had happened. She rubbed her face against Brother Lionel's chest and said, "I knew it, you're always the nicest to me.
Karen Joy did not take it to heart about Jackie's opinion of her. She knew her worth, and she understood everyone had varying preferences.
In her small world, she liked Brother Lionel, and Brother Lionel also liked her. That was already very good for her.
Karen Joy was not angry, and she even countered him strongly. Jackie couldn't resist judging her again.
It was really eye-opening for him to see such a brave and confident young person. It was no wonder that someone like Nathaniel would always think of the little girl.
However, no matter how special she was, she was just a little girl. He was reminded of Serene and his face changed slightly.
He said that he didn't want to see her, but he couldn't control his feet and followed them into the hospital. He said that he didn't want to think about that vicious woman, but the mere thought of her was enough to change his mind.
No!
In the future, he could not let that woman affect him. If he stayed away from her and did not see her again, then she would not be able to affect him.
He knew he should leave the hospital immediately and return to the Misty Mountain, but he couldn't move his feet. Even if he couldn't look at her, he wanted to just stay near her.
Karen Joy peeked at the other man, "Mr. Leves, can I speak with you alone?"
Nathaniel asked, "What's the matter?"
Karen Joy gave Nathaniel a push and said, "Brother Lionel, you can go to the next room to keep Sister Serene company. Go ahead."
