Chapter 241
The car rolled to a stop, and there were staff coming to pick the car up but Kevin Kyle waved his hand to tell them to wait.
Karen Daly was still asleep in the passenger's seat but she didn't sleep soundly. She seemed to be frightened by something several times and was trembling with fear along the way.
In the past, whenever she fell asleep, she occasionally slept till dawn, but sometimes she had nightmares, so she barely had any sleep.
Now, almost every night, Karen Daly would be bothered by nightmares. He heard her screaming hysterically and asking for help, but he couldn't help her.
He could not even hug her in his arms and tell her that he is by her side and not to be afraid.
Three years ago, in the staged "car accident", those people had forcefully taken Little Karen out of Karen Daly's womb.
Although he did not witness it with his own eyes, as long as he thought of it, he would feel as if a knife was twisting in his heart, and he would feel so painful that his organs were broken into pieces.
At that time, Karen Daly was pregnant and couldn't do anything. She couldn't resist and couldn't escape. How desperate and fearful she must have been!
Thinking of this, Kevin Kyle couldn't help but take a deep breath. Looking at Karen Daly, his eyes became gentle like water, and he whispered her name, "Karen —"
As if she could hear his voice, Kevin Kyle saw Karen Daly's brows moving. He couldn't help but reach out his hand to touch her to prove that she was really beside him.
But before his hand could touch her, her long eyelashes blinked twice and she slowly opened her eyes.
Kevin Kyle's hand froze in mid-air. After a pause, he withdrew it and said softly, "You're awake."
"Yes." Karen Daly nodded in confusion. It took her quite a while to realize where she was and why Kevin Kyle was by her side. "Where are we now?"
Karen Daly had just woken up. Her voice sounded lazy yet lovely, and a little confused.
Kevin Kyle suddenly thought of Little Karen at home, Little Karen would also be in a daze whenever she woke up. There were too many similarities between the mother and daughter.
"Ocean Behae Villa," Kevin Kyle replied as he looked at Karen Daly, who was in a daze and could not help but chuckle. "It's almost dawn. I'll take you to a place."
Karen Daly nodded. "Okay!"
Kevin Kyle handed the car keys to the attending staff and turned to grab Karen Daly's hand. Just as he was about to touch her, she instinctively dodged.
He paused slightly and then reached out his hand again to grab her quickly. He held her hand forcefully and tightly, not allowing her to break free.
This time, Karen Daly did not want to pull it back. She made up her mind to enjoy this day with him, so she would not hesitate any longer.
Thinking of this, Karen Daly couldn't help but look up at Kevin Kyle and accidentally saw him staring at her.
He looked at her and suddenly leaned over to her. Karen Daly was so scared that she closed her eyes quickly, but she heard him laughing in a low voice. He reached out his hand to tuck her hair behind her ears and said softly, "Little fool."
Karen Daly opened her eyes and saw his smile, which seemed to light up the darkness before dawn.
She looked at him blankly, feeling that the dark places of her heart were illuminated by his smile. It was warm and reassuring.
As long as he was here, would there no longer be the endless darkness?
Karen Daly asked herself in her heart.
At the same time, she got a positive answer. Yes, as long as he was there, there would be no endless darkness, nor would there be those nightmares that always haunt her.
In the easternmost part of the Ocean Behae Villa, there was a large private bay for Kevin Kyle. This was the best place to enjoy the sunrise in Chatterton Town.
The sun had not yet risen from the coastline and the sea breeze was a little strong, it was a little cold when it touched the skin. Not realizing it, they were snuggling against each other for warmth.
Kevin Kyle wanted to hold her in his arms to help her warm-up, but he was afraid that he would scare her and hide away from him.
When he thought about it, he wanted to take off his shirt and give it to her, but Karen Daly grabbed his hand to stop him.
Her actions were so natural that Karen did not realize how close it was. When she reacted, her delicate face blushed again.
Since she had already taken the first step, she didn't want to retreat. She calmed down and carefully leaned into Kevin's arms. She said softly, "It won't be cold this way."
At this moment, Karen forced herself to let go of all her restraints, and no longer thought about Kevin's beloved deceased wife, nor did she think about Little Karen.
She thought, why not just be selfish and enjoy this? And she snuggled up in Kevin Kyle's arms, enjoying the sense of security that he gave her. At the same time, she hoped to spend a beautiful day with him.
Once upon a time, Karen had done this before, but at that time, she was bolder and more playful.
Kevin held her in his arms, patted her back gently, pressed his jaw on her head, and sighed with satisfaction.
He had been waiting for this, for three years.
It was the best thing in the world for him to hold her in his arms again and feel her warmth and heartbeat.
On the distant horizon, a red sun rose slowly, slowly illuminating the whole world, just as how her return lit up his whole world.
Under their feet was a large piece of rock. The waves beat on the rock rhythmically, as if they were performing a beautiful song for the two of them.
The sunrise was beautiful, but at this moment, they only had eyes for each other, as if nothing else could come between them.
"Kevin Kyle, did you come here often before?" Although she knew that she should not mind, she still cared about it in her heart. She hoped that she was the only person whom he brought here to see
such a beautiful sunrise.
"Yes, I come often," Kevin replied softly. During the three years when Karen Daly was absent, he often came here and sat for a whole night. He would look into the distance and miss the person in his heart. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Occasionally, he could hear her voice, from the sound of the waves -
"Kevin Kyle, I'm so grateful for this. I cannot believe this is true"
Every time he came here, Kevin Kyle seemed to hear Karen Daly's cry in the middle of the night, but she was no longer by his side.
Karen Daly, do you still remember that night many years ago, I drove you here and was beside you, listening to you declare your happiness by the sea?
"Oh," Karen Daly whispered to herself. She didn't know why she minded this. She was nothing to him.
He used to bring his wife here often. Wasn't that very normal?
Karen Daly was unwilling to think about those things that she would mind. She closed her eyes and snuggled up in Kevin Kyle's arms quietly.
Kevin Kyle caressed her back gently, as if he was coaxing a child to sleep.
After a long time, when Karen Daly was about to fall asleep in Kevin Kyle's arms, she suddenly heard Kevin Kyle's low voice, "If you like it, we can come here often in future."
"In future?"
"Will I have a future with him?" She thought.
