Chapter 78
78. A Father’s Love
Seeing Frank’s reaction, Kara spun around. Two toddlers were
apparently lying near the taller stack in the middle. They took shelter in its shadow, hugging each other.
“They’re here….” Kara sighed with a smile. “They’re here!”
Without considering the height, she ran towards the twins. “Louis,
Emily!”
Hearing the names from Kara’s mouth, Frank’s ears immediately rang and his chest became tight.
‘Is that really them? I am… their father?’
Even though Frank had expected it earlier, reality still hit him ha All

‘I am a useless parent?’
He realized that his sin against Kara and the children he had abandoned was enormous. It had piled up
as high as a mountain and was impossible to move.
After a long time, Frank Harper finally gathered tears in his eyes again. Not because of guilt towards
his father or disappointment with his grandfather, but because of the family he failed to take care.
“Little Angels….” Kara dropped her knees onto the cargo. The vibration made the twins open their
eyes.
“Mommy?” Louis smiled. While keeping his left hand with another hand, he sat up.
Emily got up too. She was blinking silently. Only after seeing Kara’s

“You are really brave, Little Bees! You are really great to be able to

Now, how are you doing? You guys aren’t hurt, are you?”
“My hand hurt. But after sleeping, it doesn’t hurt anymore.” Louisis shook his head so quickly that his
chubby cheeks trembled.d
“Mommy, have you seen Yemon? He made me bother going up the e stairs earlier. So, Louis asked me
to throw him away. Louis even tore e off a patch from my shim to put in the secret pocket.”
Kara nodded slightly. “Yes, Yemon is downstairs. But why did you tearr your sister’s clothes, Honey?’
Louis’ eyes suddenly became round and fiery. “I think that could be a clue. It’s the same color as the
big box we climbed on earlier.”
“We didn’t actually mean to go up here, Mommy. We nned to go up to the lower box. But when we
got there, the box suddenly moved here,

Frank swallowed hard. He often met with many important people from all over the world. He always
spoke fluently to them, even in variousnguages. But now, why did he stammer in front of two
toddlers?
“Actually, I was the one who solved the puzzle in Yemon’s pocket. I thought you were up here.”
“Really? You helped Mommy find us?” Emily was enthusiastic. The light reflected in her eyes looked
like the brightest stars.
Seeing that cheerful face, Frank’s heart tingled with a strange throb. The tension faded. With a small
smile, he nodded. “Yes.”
Suddenly, Emily spread her arms and ran to Frank. Her chuckle invited Frank to bend his knees. When

“Okay,” Louis said, interrupting Kara’s thoughts. “I admit that you are not a bad person this time. Sorry

heart seemed to be much more difficult than Emily’s.
