1. Kara’s Panic

Unexpectedly, Kara pulled the car door handle on the front passenger side. Frank stared wide eyed. He didn’t dare move.

Because the car was locked, Kara knocked on the window. Frank’s heart skipped a beat like it was going to burst out of his throat. The tension within him now was much greater compared to when he faced the assassin.

“Jeremy, I know you’re in there. Please open it. I really need your help.”

Frank broke into a cold sweat. His brows furrowed. ‘Should I just go?’

His hand went up to the car key, ready to turn it. However, seeing the annoyance on Kara’s face, he finally sighed in resignation and opened the lock.

Without wasting any time, Kara got in and threw the bag into the back seat. Pulling on her seat belt, she gasped for breath.

“There aren’t any taxis around here, and I have to go to Garcia Hospital. Please take me….”

Just then, their eyes met. Kara spontaneously froze. Her eyeballs trembled. Her hand that was fastening the seat belt froze.

Frank also fell silent. He hesitated about what to say. Should he

explain his presence there, ask about Kara and Jeremy’s relationship, or offer her a ride?

“So…, who’s sick?”

Kara sighed faintly. Her tongue is numb.

‘Your son, Frank. Our son. He must have been scared when his hand

was in a cast and we weren’t there to accompany him.’

Kara wanted to answer like that. However, after one blink, she put the seat belt back in its original position. “Sorry, I thought you were

Jeremy. He’s the one who usually watches over me, isn’t he?”

“Kara, wait.” Frank took her hand. He could feel a small vibration on the slightly cold skin. “Let me take you there.”

“This is none of your business,” Kara said curtly.

However, Frank could detect fear and sadness in that tone. “Aren’t you in a hurry?”
