Chapter 427


    Karen Daly bit her lips hard to distract her from her emotional pain.


    "Karen?" Kevin Kyle held her trembling shoulder and asked, "What happened? Tell me, I can handle


    it."


    "Why am I so useless? Why can''t I even do just one thing right? Why can''t I help you when you are


    hurt?" Karen Daly was beating herself up for failing at this task.


    Kevin Kyle held Karen Daly in his arms and patted her back gently. Heforted her and said,


    "Karen, don''t worry. Share your concerns with me."


    Perhaps they had misunderstood each other earlier. Karen Daly asked again tearfully, "Kevin, is


    there any other meaning from the letters on the mug?"


    Kevin Kyle said, "Describe it to me again. I''ll use another method to see if I can interpret another


    meaning."


    Substitution cipher was one of the methods to decipher codes in cryptography.


    There were also several types for substitution cipher which consist of simple substitution,


    homophonic substitution, polygram substitution and so on.


    When he listened to Karen Daly describe it the first time, Kevin Kyle used the homophonic


    substitution method. Using that method, the code sounded like a love letter for the decoder.


    Kevin Kyle thought that Karen Daly wrote it for him, so he was excited and might have been a little


    careless. He forgot that it could be possible to be decoded in two different methods, and the results


    of each decoding method would be different.


    "You didn''t interpret them thoroughly, then you spoke so confidently. You disappointed me!" The little


    me of hope that extinguished earlier had rekindled in Karen Daly''s heart.


    "Tell me more." Kevin Kyle thought about his eyesight had badly affected his quality of life. He


    needed to ask Nick ck to rush those doctors for a cure soon.


    Karen Daly described the letters and the patterns on the mug again.


    Kevin Kyle listened carefully and focused on those letters. After listening to them again, he quickly


    concluded, "Francesca... chapel... Francesca Chapel. Is there such a chapel in Chatterton Town?"


    This kind of simple recement method was often used by Kevin Kyle, Nick ck and others at


    work. When he heard Karen Daly''s descriptions again, he analyzed carefully and found the correct


    answer.

    "Francesca Chapel?" Karen Daly did not know how Kevin Kyle deciphered that, but she


    immediately took out her mobile phone and opened the map application.


    "There is indeed such a chapel in the western suburbs of Chatterton Town." Karen Daly guessed


    that Amelia Gray must have hidden an antidote for HDR in the chapel.


    After getting the clue, Karen Daly was so excited that she turned around and was about to run


    away. She has forgotten that Kevin Kyle was still by her side until he pulled her back.


    Kevin Kyle asked in a low voice, "Karen, who gave you this mug?"


    Karen Daly smiled perfunctorily. "It''s a friend of mine. She''s ying a game with me. She asked me


    to find out what she''s hiding."


    "Did you go to meet Amelia again?" At first, Kevin Kyle just thought that Karen Daly came up with


    some tricks to make him happy, but as soon as he solved the mystery on the mug, he thought of


    Amelia Gray.


    They often used this kind of substitution ciphers at work. The one who knew this method and


    passed the mystery to Karen must be Amelia Gray.


    Kevin Kyle was right but Karen Daly felt guilty. She lowered her head and did not speak.


    "Karen, what did you promise her?" Kevin Kyle held Karen Daly''s shoulder tightly. He was so


    worried about Amelia Gray''s request for Karen Daly to leave him that he may have held Karen a


    little too tight.


    "What do you think I would promise her?" She was not a fool. Would she ept all of Amelia Gray''s


    requests?


    Kevin Kyle responded seriously, "If you do something silly, I won''t let you go."


    "This mug was a gift from Amelia to you. She said that if we could find this gift, we can get the


    antidote for HDR." Karen Daly figured there was no point in hiding the truth anymore.


    He had gone to ask Amelia Gray for the antidote. Amelia Gray wanted him to agree to an


    unreasonable condition, so he refused her and he didn''t get the information out of her.


    Amelia Gray hated Karen Daly so much but Karen still went to meet her. Kevin Kyle thought to


    himself, if Amelia Gray gave Karen Daly the antidote, Karen must have agreed to Amelia''s


    unreasonable request.


    "Hm..." Kevin Kyle chuckled. "Didn''t she ask for you to leave me before she gave you the antidote?"


    "She brought it up, but I didn''t agree with it." Karen Daly responded angrily.


    "You didn''t agree to that, but she still gave you the antidote?" Kevin Kyle replied even more angrily.


    "Kevin, when have I ever lied to you?" She knew he was very worried that she would promise


    Amelia Gray, but she was so disappointed that he didn''t believe in her.


    Karen Daly shook off his hand and said, "Kevin, I won''t fight with you. Anyway, let''s go to the chapel


    and find the antidote first."


    "Karen, I asked you a question. Answer me." Despite Karen Daly''s request, he needed a clear


    answer.


    "Yes, I have agreed to her unreasonable request. Are you satisfied now?" He was really annoying.


    Why did he not believe in her?


    "You—" Kevin Kyle was so angry that he clenched his fists.


    "Don''t push me!" After saying that, Karen Daly turned around and left. After a few steps, Kevin Kyle


    caught up with her again. He pulled her back by grabbing her by her waist.


    "I''ll send someone to look for the chapel. Stay at home and don''t go anywhere." If she really agreed


    to Amelia Gray''s request, he would lock her up.


    "Kevin, you dare lock me up?" Karen Daly was also very angry at him.


    "You can try me!" If she really agreed to leave him, he would not let her go.


    "Kevin, let me go! Don''t push me to a cliff!" Karen Daly struggled hard. However, Kevin Kyle''s


    strength was so strong that she couldn''t fight him off.


    "Daddy, don''t bully Mommy!" Little Karen suddenly jumped out of nowhere with her hands on her


    hips, looking like a protector.


    "Karen, Mommy is ying with me. Go ahead and y with Brother Lionel." No matter how angry


    he was, Kevin Kyle was still very patient when he talked to Little Karen.


    Karen Daly reassured her child too, "Little Karen, I''m fine. You can go and y." Even if they were


    arguing, they wouldn''t affect the child.


    Looking at her father carrying her mother in his arms, Little Karen scratched her head. She was


    very puzzled. Were they really not fighting?


    She looked at Brother Lionel who was behind her. She blinked her innocent eyes and asked softly,


    "Brother Lionel, weren''t they fighting?"


    "Little Karen, adults have their way of getting along. Kids wouldn''t understand. When you grow up in


    the future, you will understand." Lionel picked Little Karen up and gently rubbed her head.


    "How old? Old like you?" Little Karen asked back. Brother Lionel was so tall. When could she grow


    as tall as Brother Lionel was?
