Chapter 549
Mia Kyle said, "Little Karen, if that was your Brother Lionel, why would he ignore you?"
Little Karen was speechless.
Yes, as far as she could remember, Brother Lionel definitely wouldn''t ignore her.
He liked to hold her and let her ride on his shoulders to see the wonderful scenery in the distance.
He said that he would help her fight off all the bad guys. He would never ignore her, especially when
she was carried away by a bad guy.
"Little Aunt, he is Brother Lionel!" She pouted as tears rolled down from her eyes.
"Little Karen, trust me for once, please? He is really not..." Mia nced up and saw Little Karen''s
face, and immediately felt sad and helpless. She couldn''t continue her sentence.
They all knew how much Lionel meant to Little Karen. She had seen someone who looked so much
like him, but he wasn''t Brother Lionel. This was too much to handle for a four year old girl.
"Little Aunt, I want to go find Brother Lionel," She persisted. She firmly believed that the boy was
Brother Lionel.
"Little Karen... let me take you to wash your face first, and then we can go find him together, okay?"
Mia wanted to put it off for a while. She thought after some coaxing and a good nap, Little Karen
would forget about Brother Lionel when she woke up.
However, Mia underestimated Little Karen. Searching for Brother Lionel had be an obsession.
She would not give up until she found Brother Lionel.
But she was still young after all. She could only cry in protest. She couldn''t think of a better way to
find Brother Lionel.
And so, Little Karen kept crying. Mia was helpless. Just as she was about to call Little Karen''s
mother, Little Karen fell asleep in her arms, exhausted from the crying.
The little kid finally stopped crying. Mia breathed a sigh of relief. She felt Little Karen''s sorrow.
She thought about it for a moment. Neil Brown might be able to pull some strings and let the VIP
come meet Little Karen.
If that teenaged boy could tell her that he wasn''t Brother Lionel in person, Little Karen would let it go
of her hope to find him.
"Little Aunt, it''s all my fault. I didn''t protect her." A dejected Jayden said after Mia put Little Karen to
bed.
Mia rubbed his head and said, "It''s not your fault. You did good. I have something to do. Can you
stay here and apany your sister?"
"Okay." Jayden nodded solemnly. He would never let his sister get hurt again.
However, he was only an eleven- year- old child. He was tired too. After sitting for a while, he fell
asleep on the sofa.
He didn''t sleep for long when there was a click. The door was opened from the outside, and a boy
sneaked into the room carefully.
He gently closed the door and swept his gaze across the room. His gaze stopped on Little Karen
who was sleeping on the big bed.
He walked quietly towards her and sat down beside the bed. When he saw that her beautiful eyes
were swollen from crying, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He pinched her nose and called her softly, "Little Karen!"
Hearing Brother Lionel''s voice, Little Karen immediately opened her eyes. When she saw who it
was, she turned over and mbered up. "Brother Lionel!"
"Little Karen!" Lionel held the little girl in his arms, his movements were gentle, as if he was
handling a priceless treasure.
He had wanted to pretend he didn''t know her, but when he saw her crying, he couldn''t ignore her.
"Brother Lionel!" She eximed with sobbing tone. She rubbed her little head on his chest and
wiped her tears and snots on his shirt.
"I''m here. Are you trying to be a crybaby?" He smiled gently.
"You don''t want me...you don''t like me...I''m scared..." Little Karen''s body twitched at every word.
She wanted to pour her heart out to Lionel.
How could Brother Lionel push her away? How could he ignore her...Her tears rolled down her face
again.
"I like you the most. Why won''t I want you?" Lionel said while holding her little face in his hands. He
wiped her tears away with his rough fingers. "But I''ve grown up and I have a lot of things to do. I
can''t stay with you like before, do you understand?"
Hearing this, Little Karen plunged into his arms and held him tightly, "I don''t want you to leave,
Brother Lionel. Please stay with me." Lionel didn''t want to leave her, but he had to. There were a lot
of responsibilities on his shoulders that he couldn''t afford to lose.
He even thought of taking her with him. However, he couldn''t. She would have to grow up without
him.
He held her head and looked into her big watery eyes. Then he kissed her on the cheek. "Little
Karen, I still have important things to do, so I have to leave."
"I don''t want you to leave!" She pursed her lips. Her two small hands gripped his clothes tightly, as if
she would lose him if she let go.
"Little Karen-" Lionel patted her on the back.
He didn''t want to leave her too. It was just that he had more important responsibilities now.
For someone like him, he was forced to do many things since birth. He had no say in many things.
In the past ten years or so, he had no power to decide on anything in his life.
He had stayed by Little Karen''s side to protect her and apany her for a period of time. This
was the one and only outrageous thing he had done in his life.
"I just want you to stay."
"Little Karen, do you still remember my birthday present for you?"
This question made Little Karen sad again. Brother Lionel had told her before, if she were to miss
him, she only needed to hold her chain and shout for him to appear, and he would appear.
When he wasn''t around, she had called out to the chain for many times, but he had never
appeared.
She thought that the chain wasn''t charged or had no signal, that was why Brother Lionel couldn''t
receive the signal and didn''t appear.
