"There... there are more?" Karen Daly stammered. She got so worried at the thought that there might be more traps.

She foolishly thought that there were only two people chasing after them, so as long as they died, Kevin Kyle would be safe.

It turned out that she was too foolish and innocent. She could only see the surface and did not analyze it deeper.

"Yes," Kevin answered softly. He grabbed Karen's waist tightly and guided her forward. "No matter how many people there are, you just need to follow me and not run away again."

As long as Karen was fine, Kevin can deal with all the problems calmly. If anything happened to Karen, Kevin would be lost.

His anger finally subsided. He slowed down a lot and tried his best to watch after Karen's pace.

As they were walking, Karen felt a sharp pain, she felt something bite her ankle. She looked down and saw a snake gliding into the bush.

It was raining. There was a dead-end in front of them, and they were just chased by attackers. Now, she had been bitten by a snake. She hoped that it was just an ordinary snake, and it was not poisonous. Kevin did not realize that Karen was in pain, and she did not want Kevin to worry as well, so she did not say anything.

At this moment, gunshots were heard again from a distance. The gunshots were continuous. Kevin didn't know what was going on, so he quickly hid in the cave on the edge of the cliff with Karen.

The cave was very deep, but it was not very tall. Karen Daly was shorter, so she could walk into the cave by bending over slightly.

Kevin couldn't do it as easily. He was more than six feet tall. He couldn't walk in unless he was bending over.

The cave was wet. It seemed that the seawater would rise to this position during high tide. It was already late afternoon, hence the tides would go high soon, so they could not stay long in the cave. Kevin took his shirt off and lay it on a rock. He said, "Sit down and rest for a while."

As soon as Kevin took off his clothes, his chest and back were full of scratches and wounds. They were probably from the time when he was running in the jungle.

Karen knew that he had those wounds because he wanted to protect her. Her heart ached.

She bit her lips and said, "You can rest for a while. I'll just head out to peek at the situation above."

Kevin yelled out, "Listen to me!"

Karen, "..."

Kevin said, "As long as you are fine, no one can hurt me. Do you understand?"

After hearing Kevin's words, Karen almost teared up. She nodded and sat down obediently.

She needed to regain her strength so that she would have the strength to escape after this. She did not want to be a burden.

"Kevin -" Karen pulled his hand. "You'll need to rest too. If anything happens out there, we'll know."

"Okay!" Kevin sat down next to Karen and held her in his arms. He patted her gently and said, "Don't worry. Two hours have passed. Nick Black and the rest will come soon. If they can't find us, they will know that something happened to us."

Karen snuggled up in Kevin's chest and rubbed him gently, "Who are you here to see? Why did he suddenly attack us?"

She didn't know much so she felt extremely anxious. She just needed to know who the other person was and why was Kevin being attacked.

Kevin said calmly, "It's definitely not the man whom I came to see that attacked us. It's someone who planted many false clues and made me think that he was that person, so I took it lightly and fell into the trick."

"Who is that?" Karen asked.

"He is a very important person to me, you don't know him." Kevin did not want to tell Karen the truth. He did not want Karen to know that the person had relations with her.

"Well, if you don't want to say, then I won't ask." Karen understood Kevin's intentions.

"Good girl!" Kevin smiled.

Karen raised her head and stared at Kevin lovingly, "Kevin, as long as I can be with you, life or death, I am not afraid."

As long as he was with her, hell would feel like heaven. But if he was not with her, heaven would feel like hell.

Kevin hugged her tightly and said, "I will definitely bring you out safely, so don't speak nonsense."

Kevin knew that Karen was still worried. He believed that he had the ability to protect her. Although, he understood where she was coming from.

"I'm really not afraid at all. I'm just worried. If something happens to us, what about our Little Karen?" Having Kevin beside her was definitely a big safety point for her.

Kevin patted her head and said, "Little Karen has her own life, and she will find the person who can accompany her for the rest of her life, so don't worry about her."

Karen continued, "She doesn't even have a brother or a sister. If something happens, she needs to have someone to rely on. I don't know who she can talk to. You will need to retire one day. Rovio will need a successor. Little Karen will be under a lot of pressure."

Kevin explained further, "I have trained an excellent team for her. They can solve a lot of problems for her in the future. Our Little Karen only needs to make the final decisions."

Karen worried too much about their daughter, so does Kevin.

Little Karen was their first child, and she had been brought up by Kevin. How could Kevin not worry about Little Karen?

Karen wanted to continue the conversation, but suddenly, she realized that her right leg, which had been bitten by the snake earlier, had gotten swollen and it was numbed by the swelling.

"Why is your body so cold? Is it cold?" Kevin noticed that Karen was not at her best state.

Karen shook her head and still did not want to tell Kevin that she had been bitten by a snake. However, her body language was obvious, and she couldn't hide it from Kevin anymore.

Kevin shouted, "Karen, tell me, where did you get hurt?"

Karen shook her head and chuckled. "It's just a little cold. It's okay. You can hold me tight and give me some warmth."

"Karen, do you want me to throw you out?" Kevin was getting annoyed at Karen's stubbornness.

"Don't yell at me. I'm fine." Karen reached out to touch his face and said with a smile, "You look so ugly when you're angry. I don't like it at all. I still like the way you smile. Kevin, you must smile more in the future. You don't know how handsome you look when you smile."
