Chapter 243
After sending Karen home that night, Kevin drove around and found a perfect spot to keep an eye on her room.
At this time, the lights in the room had already been turned on. There was a slim figure flashing in the warm yellow lights, which was very comforting.
Kevin stood there, watching her going back and forth quietly. Her petite figure cast a mottled shadow on the window. He hoped that he could watch her for the whole night... But not long after, she drew the curtains and turned off the lights.
When the light went out, Kevin Kyle's heart suddenly became empty. Only a few minutes, he had already missed her. He was also worried whether she would have a nightmare or not... After thinking for a while, Kevin couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and dialed her number.
Almost immediately, she picked up the phone.
"Hello?" Her voice came from the darkness, soft and sweet.
"You haven't slept yet?"
"No." She paused. "What about you? What are you doing?"
Kevin Kyle smiled and answered honestly, "Thinking of you."
He was telling the truth, he was not lying at all.
But Karen Daly, on the other end of the phone, blushed and didn't know how to answer. This man was really frighteningly frank. How could she reject him?
"Karen," As she did not respond, Kevin Kyle said her name again.
"Yes?" Karen responded.
She was there - and Kevin Kyle felt at ease. He gazed at Karen Daly's room softly. He chuckled and said, "Can you do me a favor?"
"Well? What do you need my help with?" Karen Daly's soft voice passed from the phone receiver to his ear. He could tell that she was in a good mood today.
Kevin Kyle added, "I've been lacking sleep recently. Can you talk to me like this? Stay on the line. Don't hang up."
Perhaps, if he accompanied her in this way, she would not have a nightmare anymore.
All he needed to do was to endure the night. When the sun rose, he would find a way to bring Karen Daly home.
However, Karen Daly did not answer. There was another silence on the other end of the phone.
The night was quiet, and the silence became particularly deafening.
Kevin Kyle suddenly felt a little worried about his abrupt request. He was about to say something to break the silence when he heard a chuckle from the other end of the phone.
It was gentle, with a little helplessness and loveliness.
"Mr. Kyle," Karen Daly called him, "Did you comfort Mrs.Kyle like this in the past?"
Now it was Kevin Kyle's turn to be silent. How should he answer?
"Is that so?"
Would Karen be jealous of herself?
"No?"
"Would it upset her if I tell her the truth?" Kevin Kyle pondered.
In the past, Karen used to say that she had low EQ and didn't know how to say pleasing words. Kevin didn't take it to heart, but now he agreed with her very much.
Just as Kevin was thinking about how to give Karen a perfect answer, another chuckle came from the other end of the phone.
As if she understood Kevin Kyle's hesitation at this time, she said in a simple and sweet way, "Well, I am joking."
Kevin Kyle breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then are you willing to do that?"
"Probably," Karen Daly said.
"Probably?" Kevin Kyle did not understand.
Karen Daly thought for a moment and said, "I'll fall asleep later. Maybe I'll hang up by accident."
"It's okay," Kevin Kyle smiled gently and said, "Anyway, I'll be here, and I won't hang up."
"Really?"
"Yes. Trust me." This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Believe me—I won't let you suffer anymore. Kevin vowed in his heart.
On the other end, Karen did not answer immediately. After a long time, she said softly, "Okay."
Kevin's smiled gently, filled with affection. "Go to sleep then," he said.
"Yes."
"You too," Karen replied.
"Good night."
"Good night."
The phone was still connected, but there was no longer a soft voice.
It was quiet all around. After a while, all he could hear was her gentle breathing. Presumably, she had fallen asleep.
Kevin leaned against the car, lit up a cigarette, took a puff, and looked up at her window. He felt extremely calm in his heart.
...
Kevin had disappeared for twenty-four hours, and no one could get in touch with him. Everyone around him was worried about him.
There was a lot of work to be done. Nick Black and Amelia Gray had been bothered by different questions from his subordinates.
In the past, no matter where Kevin Kyle went, he would inform them because he would need them to make arrangements. This time, they had no idea what to do.
When Kevin Kyle reappeared, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, rushing to report their work to him. However, Kevin Kyle waved his hand to stop them. He said to Nick Black, "Go and meet Samuel Daly immediately."
He couldn't tolerate that Karen Daly was not with him, and he couldn't tolerate that he was not with her when she had a nightmare.
"Boss, I'll have someone look for him immediately," Nick Black was also a very smart person. If Kevin Kyle did not want to attend to his work, it must be something very important to do with Karen Daly. He added, "We have already gotten hold of the medication that Samuel Daly is giving to Madam. We have submitted it for the fastest possible test, and the results are out."
Kevin Kyle said in a cold voice, "Go ahead."
Nick Black took a look at Kevin Kyle and said cautiously, "There is a small amount of morphine in the medication. It can be used as an analgesic, but it is easy to make people addicted to it. Long- term consumption of morphine will cause a serious dependence on it, both physically and psychologically. Addicts may cause great harm to themselves."
Kevin said, "Get to the point."
Nick quickly handed over the report and said, "Based on Mrs. Kyle's physical condition, she has been taking it for two or three years. I'm afraid it's not easy to get her off it."
After saying that, Nick took a careful glance at Kevin Kyle, he was worried that his master would vent his anger on him.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, Nick did not see the change in Kevin's expression. Even his eyes were calm as if this was not a big deal.
However, when he took a closer look, he saw that Kevin's hand was so tight that he was almost crushing the document in his hand.
Nick Black knew that their Director Kevin was not as relaxed as he thought.
He was frightened by his fury. The more he looked at him, the more he seemed to be fine. But Nick Black knew that Kevin Kyle's blood was boiling.
After a long time, Kevin Kyle calmed down the turbulent undercurrents in his heart and said, "Get in touch with an expert in this field right away. I want a professional. And - get me, Samuel Daly."
He would not go to see Samuel Daly, instead, he would ask Samuel Daly to come over.
He couldn't kill Samuel Daly, but he had other ways to make the beast live a life worse than death.
No matter what kind of means he used this time, he would keep Karen Daly by his side. He would never allow Samuel Daly's vicious claws to touch Karen Daly again.
