Chapter 715


    "Brother Lionel..." A semi- conscious Karen Joy Kyle muttered anxiously, "You promised you won''t


    leave me behind, you can''t lie to me."


    "Alright Karen, I''m a man of my word. I won''t leave you behind." He patted her hand gently and


    coaxed her to sleep.


    "Alright, then I''m going to sleep now." Hearing his gentle voice, Karen Joy closed her eyes and fell


    asleep again.


    He put her down and then put his seat down. Hey beside her as she leaned onto him.


    She took the opportunity to rest in his chest and sighedfortably, "It''s so good to have you


    around!"

    Nathaniel Cooper didn''t know if she was fully awake or just mumbling to herself in her sleep.


    He was willing to spoil her with love and care, regardless.


    Karen Joy gradually fell asleep. Nathaniel gently poked the plum blossom mark between her


    eyebrows.


    This mark was left behind many years ago when she was only four years old and was taken away


    by the bad guys.


    Since she was a beautiful young girl, the scar was a huge blow to her self-esteem. This scar looked


    simr to the shape of a plum blossom. Later, the doctor altered the scar a little and made it look


    like a plum blossom mark on her forehead.


    He knew everything about Karen Joy. Even if he was not with her for the past few years, he still


    knew everything about her.


    For example, on the first day of elementary school, she punched her friend in her ss until his


    nose bled.


    She had beaten someone up, but no one suspected that she was the one who did it.


    Because she sat quietly in her own seat, and her chubby look was particrly attractive. The


    teachers adored her very much. Who would be willing to believe that she was the one who beat


    others up?


    Butter, because of some witnesses and the recording from the surveince video, it turned out


    that she really beat someone up.


    At that time, the parents of the other child couldn''t ept it and requested her parents toe to


    the school. However, the little one gave a pitiful and innocent look. The parents actually sighed and


    just forgave her after giving her a warning.


    After that, Karen Joy did not use violence ever again.


    She practiced Taekwondo since she was a child, and her punches were very powerful. When she


    fought with her peers, her peers would get hurt.


    Later, when Karen Joy got into trouble with her friends, she no longer used violence to solve them.


    Most of the time, she didn''t even need to get involved and the matter would resolve itself.


    Her grades were good, and she skipped grades very frequently. Gradually, she made friends of


    different age groups.


    She was young, but she was not ufortable being around students older than her. Over the


    years, she had slowly be the leader of many groups and cliques. She only needed to voice her


    thoughts or opinions, and she would execute her ns.


    She went to college early and had not fully matured yet. There were older boys in the ss that


    pursued her.


    She tactfully rejected those males, and she would exin by saying that she had a boyfriend.


    However, she had never shown up with her boyfriend before, so others thought she was being


    arrogant.


    Since she was young, she was smart, confident, and lively. Under the care of her family, she grew


    up healthy and well.


    She was good at everything she did and she was not afraid of anything, but she had a fatal


    weakness.


    She was afraid of the dark. Well, if there was a glimmer of light in the dark, she would not be afraid.


    What she was afraid of was being trapped in a confined ce in total darkness.


    That was the trauma that was engraved in her heart, which was also where Brother Lionel was


    engraved. Brother Lionel was like the plum blossom mark between her eyebrows, which could not


    be wiped out her whole life.


    Buzz! Buzz!


    Just as he was thinking about Karen Joy''s past, his phone rang. It was his working phone.


    He had two phones for his work. One was for the day, and the other was for the night. If there was


    something urgent, his ''night phone'' would ring.


    At this time, what urgent matter could it be?


    He didn''t think much about it and immediately picked up the phone. He heard the voice of his


    secretary, Maxton Hart, from the phone. "Mr. President, it''s not good. Something bad has


    happened."


    Nathaniel raised his eyebrow and asked, "What''s the matter?"


    Maxton coughed softly and reported the situation to him in an orderly manner. "Five minutes ago,


    there was an earthquake with a 7.6 magnitude at Long Cove. It shook the entire Southern Cove


    County. It''s midnight now, so many people must still be at home. We are expecting a high number of


    casualties."


    A 7.6 magnitude earthquake hit the epicenter of Cove County. Some people in the county might be


    buried alive.


    Nathaniel became a bit more worried, and at the same time, he ordered, "How''s the work for


    disaster relief? We need to act swiftly in the next 72 hours. Save those that are alive first, and try to


    rescue as much as possible."


    He had only been in office for a few days, but he had already encountered such a disaster. This


    earthquake would be a major test for Nathaniel in his political career.


    "Yes." Maxton replied and then he asked, "Mr. President, do you think we should send some teams


    over to the affected areas tofort the people?"


    Hearing Maxton''s question, Nathaniel tilted his head and looked at Karen Joy, who was lying next to


    him.


    She slept soundly because her Brother Lionel had promised to stay with her. She was not afraid, so


    she slept soundly.


    He didn''t want to break his promise, but as a President of a country, he still had his citizens. As


    much as he didn''t want to leave, he had to. He said, "Make preparations, I''ll go over myself."


    Maxton worriedly said, "Mr. President, the situation over there is very unstable now. There may be


    serious aftershocks at any time. Please think twice."


    Nathaniel replied sternly, "If my life is that important, then what about the lives of other officials and


    citizens?"


    "Yes, I''ll make the preparations now." In fact, Mr. President had just taken office. At this time, if he


    took the risk to visit the affected areas, the affected citizens could feel at ease and they would calm


    down. Other citizens would be watching over him too.


    This could be regarded as one of Nathaniel''s political strategies, but this also showed that he really


    took good care of his people well, and this was the basic task of being a President of a country.


    He stroked Karen Joy''s face. He believed that she could understand him and support him.


    He reached out his hand and pressed the inte in front of him, "Drive over to the Lesley house."


    Karen Joy was awake. She woke up when Brother Lionel received the call, but she chose to


    pretend to stay asleep because she wanted to know more about him.


    When she heard Brother Lionel mention ''disaster relief'', and also ''citizens'', she could almost confirm


    her hypothesis.


    Her brother Lionel was probably the President of Country A. At that time, she asked him whether he


    was Brother Lionel in his face. He didn''t admit it, so there must be something he couldn''t say.
