Worried about Karen's condition, Dorothy gently guided her friend back to their room.

Karen had been frightened by the violent encounter and couldn't stop crying, tears continuously streaming down her face, even without sobs.

"It's okay, Karen, the guy will be fine," Dorothy reassured her, patting her back soothingly.

"But... but there was so much blood... What if he's dead? Then Jeffrey will be a murderer!" "People don't die that easily; he was just knocked out cold!" Karen wiped her tears, her emotions a mix of anger and fear. "If he's dead, he asked for it, the lunatic! Provoking Jeffrey like that, what was he thinking? He... he didn't know who Jeffrey was or what kind of temper he has. If he had known, I bet he wouldn't have dared." After all, not many people were truly seeking their demise.

Karen gradually calmed down and looked up at Dorothy. "Dorothy, do you think... do you think Jeffrey will be mad at me?" "Why would he be? You didn't do anything wrong." "But he must have figured out my past with Tristan." "So what? It's not like he hasn't had exes. You never hid the fact that you've had past relationships,” Dorothy comforted her with a hug.
