Chapter 489


    After sending Karen Daly off, George Ken went back to the house and sat in the living room.


    He fixed his cryptic gaze in a certain ce. After watching for a long time, he took a deep breath


    and mmed his fist on the coffee table. His eyes were filled with anger.


    How dare he call himself a son! He didn’t even know that his father had been badly injured and


    living such a miserable life.


    If his father hadn''te looking for him, he wouldn''t have known that his father was still alive.


    Back then, his father was tall and majestic. His eyes were spirited. Back then, his father was full of


    righteousness...

    However, for the past years, his father had lived a low and disgraceful life...


    He was living like a phantom... Even when George saw his father, he could not recognize his father


    at all.


    Thinking of the pain his father had suffered over the years, George raised his hand and pped


    himself in the face. He hated himself for being so useless. His father had suffered for so many


    years, but he did nothing at all.


    It seemed that one p wasn''t enough, George gave himself another two ps on the face, as if


    that would make him feel better.


    After a long time, George slowly got up and walked towards the study.


    He arrived at the door, just as he was about to turn the doorknob, he stopped suddenly.


    He raised his head and took a deep breath, trying hard to calm down until he felt that he was ready


    to face the person in the study at peace. Then only did he turn the doorknob.


    As soon as he opened the door, his eyes turned towards the front of the desk in the study room.


    In front of his desk, was a man whose hair had turned white. He had horrific burn scars on his face.


    The injuries on his face were so bad to the point that he was unrecognizable.


    Not only was his face burnt, his back was hunched, and he was skinny. He looked like he was in his


    eighties, and had been through a lot of difficulties in life.


    However, he wasn’t even sixty years old. Time had left too many marks on his body, and made him


    look decades older.


    "Dad—"


    It was just a simple word, and yet it took all of George’s energy to say it.


    However, he did not get a response from the old man. The old man was staring at theputer


    screen, and he only blinked his eyes after a while.


    George didn''t call him again. Instead, he slowly walked to his side and looked at theputer


    screen on the desk.


    Karen''s every move and expression were shown on the disy screen, which was put on rey.


    Before Karen arrived, George had installed surveince cameras in the living room to record her so


    that her father could watch her when he missed her.


    After apanying Herbert Ken for some time, George suppressed the pain in his heart and said,


    “Dad, you’ve been watching for a long time, let''s take a break first and continueter?"


    "Karen is my daughter..." Herbert was oblivious to George. He pointed at Karen on the disy


    screen and said with a smile, "Look, her eyes look just like her mothers, but her eyebrows look just


    like mine."


    "It’s not just her eyebrows, she looks like you in many ways too." George smiled helplessly and


    yed along.


    Karen was born and raised in the Daly family. Their father had never gotten to hold Karen since the


    day she was born.


    Herbert didn’t witness her birth or watch her grow up. She was brought to this world by his one true


    love. She and her mother had suffered a lot throughout the years, so naturally his sense of guilt


    towards her would be more than that towards George.


    As the two spoke, tears rolled down from the corners of Herbert’s eyes, a drop after another,


    blurring his vision.


    He couldn''t see Karen clearly on the screen, but he knew in his heart, that his daughter looked a lot


    like him.


    "Dad, don''t be like this. Now that you’re back with us, you can see Karen and me at any time."


    George looked at his father. Every time he looked at his father''s face, his heart tightened.


    Especially when he saw his father''s tears, George couldn''t stand it anymore. His anger rose quickly,


    but he had no means of venting it out.


    Warren Ss, the one who caused his father to be like this, was dead. They couldn’t possibly


    vent it out on Mia Kyle, who had nothing to do with what happened back then.


    Herbert didn’t say anything. He continued to cry as if to drain all the tears he had umted over


    the past twenty years.


    "Dad—" George called his father. He wanted tofort him to stop crying, but he didn''t know how


    to do that.


    His father was only missing his daughter whom he had never touched before.


    During this period, he could only watch Karen from afar, and call her on the phone to listen to her


    voice.


    To be able to see his daughter in close proximity and hear her voice today, George could


    understand his father’s emotions right now.


    "Karen—" Herbert wiped his tears, then put his trembling hand on Karen''s face on theputer


    screen.


    Even though it was the coldputer screen, but the instant he touched Karen’s face, Herbert


    could almost feel Karen’s warmth.


    He was so shaken that he said while sobbing. "She''s my daughter, she''s my daughter, she''s my


    daughter, she''s my child..."


    He kept repeating this phrase. His lips trembled every time he uttered the words.


    "Dad—" Other than calling him, George didn''t know what else he could say.


    For the past 20 years, his father had lived in the dark. How he wished he could suffer the pain on


    his father''s behalf.


    "George, do you think Karen will acknowledge me as her father?" Herbert withdrew his hand in


    fright. He covered his face with both hands. "No, no, no... I can''t let her see me like this. I can''t


    scare her."


    George rushed over to grab Herbert’s hands and said firmly, "Dad, don''t be like this. You have heard


    it too, right? Karen said that you will always be her father no matter how you look like. She will


    never disown you."


    "No, I don''t want to scare her. Please don''t let her know of my existence." Herbert looked around in


    a frenzy, then pushed George away to hide under the desk. "Don''t let her find me. I don''t want her


    to find me."


    George bent down, took Herbert’s hand, andforted him, "Dad, Karen is your daughter, and my


    sister. I know her better than you do. She has longed for her family''s affection for a long time."
