Chapter 85
- Kara and the Twins’ Suffering
At the hospital, Kara did not allow Frank to enter. The man could only see Louis through the window.
Observing how tightly the boy held Kara’s hand, his chest tightened. He also wanted to sit there, accompany Louis and erase his fears, but
couldn’t.
“Mister Kind? What are you doing here?”
Frank turned around. Apparently, a little girl was looking up at him. with round eyes. Beside her, her grandmother stood with a tired face.
“Emily? Mrs. Martin?”
Susan smiled slightly. “Mr. Harper, may I leave Emily with you for a moment? I need to buy food.”
Frank’s eyebrows rose. He glanced at the assistant. “Jeremy….”
The man in the suit rushed over to Susan. “What would you like to order, Madam? I can buy it for you.”
“No, no,” Susan shook her head quickly. “Thank you. I can buy it myself. We’ve troubled you too much. If you don’t mind, could accompany Emily for a moment?”
The little girl smiled faintly. It seemed that it was her idea. “I have something to discuss with you, Mister Kind. Do you want to chat wit me again?” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Frank’s heart turned warm. The curve of his lips widened. Taking Emily’s hand, he nodded. “My pleasure, Princess.”
After Susan left, Frank took Emily to a long bench on the side of the corridor. He sat her there before bending one knee.
“So, what did you want to talk about, Sweet Girl?” he asked as he tucked Emily’s hair behind her ear.
“I already said that I will support you. Now, while Louis and Mommy aren’t around, I’ll give you some tips.
Frank was intrigued by the way Emily spoke. He smiled and pinched her cheek. “What tips would you like to give me?”
“Louis likes cars, robots, drones, all cool things. He also likes playing Rubik’s cubes and Lego. If you give him those things often, he’ll definitely like you.”
Frank blinked warmly. “Is that so?”
Emily nodded firmly. “Yes. Apart from that, he doesn’t like being bossed around or nagged at. He hates arrogant and grumpy people. Therefore, it shouldn’t be difficult to make him like you. You are kind. You just need to play with him more often. Oh, he also likes to be praised.”
Frank’s expression stiffened. He was shocked by Emily’s statement. He was arrogant and fierce. He certainly had to change for the sake of the children.
“Okay,” he sighed awkwardly. “I’ll take a note. Is there anything els don’t know?”
Emily puffed out her cheeks and furrowed her brows. A moment later she said hesitantly, “Yes, but I don’t think it’s a problem for you.”
“What’s that?”
Suddenly, Emily leaned her head forward. One hand was raised next
to her mouth.
“Louis doesn’t like talking about our Daddy. He thought that our Daddy was a bad person. But you can’t possibly bring up our Daddy,

Frank was now frozen. Cold sweat started to press against his pores. “Your Daddy… is a bad person?”
Emily nodded slightly. Her eyes reflected more light.
“Mommy said our Daddy was dead, but we didn’t believe it. We never went to his grave. So, Louis and I thought that Daddy would definitely leave Mommy. He let Mommy work hard to raise us alone.”
Frank’s shoulders dropped. The burden in his heart was too heavy to bear. “You also think your Daddy is bad? Didn’t you say you were always looking forward to meeting him?”
Emily looked down languidly. “If Daddy was a good person, he couldn’t have disappeared. He must be here with us. So…, I agree that Daddy is a bad person.”
After a moment of silence, the little girl looked at Frank out of the corner of her eye. Her lower lip began to tremble.
“But, I also want to be like other children who have Daddy. I want to play and laugh with someone we call Daddy. Because of that, I hope Daddy will come.”
Frank could no longer hold back the turmoil in his chest. Before H heard more, before his tears could no longer hold back, he grabbe Emily in his arms.
“Sorry…” he choked up. “I’m sorry you have to go through all this.”
Emily actually almost cried. However, because her favorite man was hugging her that tightly, she just snickered. With her tiny hands, she stroked the CEO’s back.
“You don’t need to feel guilty, Mister Kind. It’s not your fault. If you could be our Daddy, I would be happy. I don’t need to wait for our real father to come because you are here with us.”
Frank could no longer speak. He closed his eyes, resting his chin on the girl’s small shoulder. The feeling of guilt grew in his chest.
Since he returned to the office, Frank couldn’t focus at all. Emily’s voice kept ringing in his ears. His brain couldn’t stop asking what kind of life Kara and the twins had lived through.
Therefore, as soon as he arrived at his mansion, Frank took the folder to the workroom. In front of his computer, he sighed heavily. His heartbeat had risen to his throat.
“I hope they didn’t suffer too much.”
He logged into Kara’s social media. Unexpectedly, Kara’s big smile greeted him. Frank’s furrowed brows loosened. In almost all the photos, that joy was immortalized.
“It turns out she can still be prettier than now?”
Frank smiled and continued searching. There are lots of photos there -Kara with her mother, Kara with her friends, and Kara with a man. who never showed his face.
In an instant, Frank’s expression changed drastically. He realized that the pictures were taken when Kara’s life was still normal. In other words, that man was her ex future husband who cruelly left her.
“Is this Finnic Miller?” He snorted in disgust. “Kara should not put th jerk on social media or her life.”
With a confused expression, Frank scanned the remaining photos. Once the screen could no longer be scrolled, he returned to the most recent photo. In the portrait, a diamond ring sparkled on Kara’s finger.
“Could this be the reason she put up high walls for me? She still loves this bastard?”
Frank’s face darkened. After a brief moment of contemplation, he
“Kara isn’t that stupid. It was impossible for her to harbor feelings for a man who had deliberately made her life difficult. Finnic Miller is a hundred times worse than me.”
Taking a deep breath, he switched to the photo backup account.
However, after entering the address and password that Jeremy had given him, he turned still.
‘Is the answer I’m looking for here? Kara and the children’s suffering are recorded in this account?”
Frank swallowed hard. The jumps in his heart reminded him mentally
to prepare.
“Tsk, why am I being such a coward?” Frank rubbed his face and shook his head slightly. “I’m Frank Harper. I never flinch at anything.”
A second later, his finger pressed the enter button. A list of hundreds of images immediately filled the screen. With one click, the photos were sorted from the oldest.
