"Karen!" Kevin Kyle patted her back and called in a deep voice. "No one can hurt me. Don't worry."

"But..." Karen Daly didn't know what to say.

She believed that Kevin wouldn't hurt her father, but she couldn't explain the video.

George Ken might have all the answers.

"No buts." Kevin rubbed her head and kissed her forehead. "Just trust me. Go to sleep. When you wake up, everything will be fine."

She had been busy handling Jayden's adoption for the past few days. Kevin guessed that she would be tired, and a good night's rest would help. "Okay," She nodded obediently.

Kevin picked her up and strode into the bedroom. He put her on the bed gently and said, "Go to sleep. I'm going to take a bath."

Kevin got up and was about to leave, when Karen grabbed his hand. She looked at his worried gaze and said, "Go and wash up, I'm going to sleep now."

It was late already, she didn't want to disturb Kevin with her personal matters.

"Good girl!" Kevin rubbed her head again and turned towards the bathroom.

Karen lay on the bed with her eyes closed. She was very tired, but she couldn't seem to fall asleep. All she could think of was the video she had just watched. She couldn't figure out what was happening in the video.

She decided to shrug off the guess work and ask George the next day. She needed to replace out what's happening as she didn't want to wrongly accuse Kevin. Not long after that, Kevin came out from the shower and lay beside her. He put his hand on her belly gently and said, "Karen, don't worry."

She snuggled into his arms and buried her head in his chest. "Kevin, we'll always be fine, right?"

She wasn't sure. Her mind was a mess. She wanted to trust Kevin, but she was still scared.

"Yes, we will." Kevin held her tightly and said, "Sleep."

It was finally daybreak after a restless night.

Karen didn't sleep well. She only felt a little sleepy at dawn.

Kevin couldn't sleep too. However, he needed to go to work so he got up early. As for Karen could sleep a little while longer.

For many years now, Kevin would wake up early, sit by the window, read a newspaper, and wait for Karen to wake up.

Karen had just fallen asleep at dawn. She wouldn't wake up until noon. So Kevin got up and went to work. He informed Sarabelle not to disturb Karen and to prepare her meal in advance so she could eat it when she woke up.

What Kevin didn't know was that Karen wasn't really asleep. As soon as he stepped out of the room, she opened her eyes.

She wouldn't be able to fall asleep until she figured everything out.

She had to call George to clarify the matter.

She turned over and retrieved her mobile phone. Then she dialed George's number again. Just like the night before, George only answered after a few calls.

"Karen, what's the matter?" George sounded better, but it was obvious he was having a hangover.

"George, what was that video you sent me all about?" Karen wanted to believe that the video was not real. She didn't want to believe that Kevin was the culprit behind their father's murder.

"What video?" George turned over lazily, still half-awake. He couldn't recall what video she was talking about.

Karen said angrily, "You sent me a video message on WhatsApp."

"WhatsApp video?" George quickly checked his WhatsApp. As expected, there was a video in the chat box.

His heart sunk. This was it.

After he got drunk, he couldn't remember anything. He didn't remember sending her that video. He didn't even know how he got to the hotel.

Karen continued, "Please explain to me clearly, what's going on? I need to know the truth."

"I..." Since Karen already knew more than she should, George didn't want to keep any secrets anymore.

He decided there and then to carry out his father's final wishes. He would save Karen and her daughter from Kevin. Only when they left Kevin would they be truly blessed.

He took a deep breath and said, "You want to know what's going on, right?"

"Of course I want to know. I don't want anyone to make decision for me." No matter what the truth was, Karen wanted to face it head on.

Neither Kevin nor George should decide for her. She was an independent person.

She would not let anyone make any decisions for her, even if they were her husband or brother.

George suggested, "Why don't you come to my place? I'll explain everything."

When she stepped into George's house once more, Karen felt differently. She could imagine her father walking around in the house, calling her name. As the thoughts ran through her mind, She almost burst into tears.

George interrupted her, "Since you want to know, I'll tell you everything. You decide what to do after knowing the truth. I won't interfere with your plans." "Okay, tell me. Tell me everything and don't hide anything." Karen bit her lips and tried to calm down.

No matter what came out of George's mouth, she had to stay calm. Only then could she prove Kevin's innocence.

Even now, she still believed in Kevin. She believed that he would never hurt her father.

Because he didn't even have any motive.

"Do you still remember when Mia was kidnapped and almost lost her life?" George's words rang in Karen's ears.

She nodded and said, "Of course I remember. But we haven't found the kidnapper yet. Or maybe they don't want to tell me who it is."

George continued, "Then do you still remember the crystal shoes Little Karen received on her birthday? What about the anonymous phone calls?"

"I do." How could she forget such scary things?

"All of it was executed by one person." George sighed and looked at Karen. "He was our father. He kidnapped Mia and almost killed her. The shoes were the birthday present from him. And he was the one who often called you anonymously."

"Brother, what are you talking about? You don't have proof. Don't talk nonsense." Karen shook her head. She really hoped that she had misheard him. She had to be.

How could her father do such a thing?

She could understand the crystal shoes and the anonymous phone calls. But to kidnap Mia? She didn't believe it.
