Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father

92. I’m Scared, Frank

While Kara pondered the cost of restitution, Frank walked to the window and grabbed the only thing that survived.

“All of these things can be replaced with new ones, but not you. That’s why,” Frank sat by Kara’s side and placed Yemon on her lap,” I’m grateful you’re safe.”

Kara looked at Frank with a flat expression. Her mind was too full. There was no appropriate expression to represent it.

“You’re right. The important thing is that I’m safe,” she sighed stiffly.

Curling up the corners of his lips, Frank stroked Kara’s hair. “So, how do you feel? You really aren’t hurt?”

The woman looked down as if she could see the pain. Remembering how she almost met death, her fingers trembled violently again.

“Hey,” Frank took her hand gently. “It’s okay, Kara. It has passed and I’m here. Nothing can hurt you anymore.”

However, Kara’s tears welled up. The fear that had previously been. ignored now filled her chest. When there was no more space left, sobs began to be heard.

“I’m scared, Frank. I’m scared I won’t see the twins again. I’m scared that they’ll cry and won’t stop. I’m scared….”

Frank pulled Kara into his arms, whispering, “It’s okay, Kara. It’s okay.”

He couldn’t say much. He just patted Kara’s back, and occasionally kissed her head.

For several minutes, Kara hid in the crook of Frank’s neck. Her eyes were closed, but her brows were still furrowed. When she got her

“Better?” Frank whispered as he stroked Kara’s eye bags.

The woman nodded slightly. “Thank you.”

Frank smiled faintly. “I think we should go to the hospital. You need to get checked up, and the kids will miss you. Besides, the police will be here soon to check out the crime scene.”

Kara repeated the movement of her head. Taking a deep breath, she stood up. However, before her feet had time to move, her body fell back into Frank’s arms.

“Kara?!” Frank’s voice was booming.

However, Kara completely surrendered to gravity and Yemon rolled away. Lifting Kara in his strong arms, Frank turned to the bodyguards.

“Bring the plush! We’re going to the hospital.”

The exclamation sounded faint to Kara. A few moments later, she could no longer hear any sound.

When she opened her eyes, Emily’s round face immediately greeted her. Kara thought it was a dream. However, as Emily’s sweet voice was heard, she realized that she had regained consciousness.

“Mommy’s awake!”

A second later, Frank’s shabby face appeared. “Kara?”

Kara moved her elbows, trying to get up. Frank quickly helped her.

“What happened?” she asked while glancing at the IV stuck in her

hand.

“Doctor said Mommy fainted from exhaustion and fear,” Emily explained while holding Yemon to her chin. “Are you still afraid,

“Mommy, there’s no need to be afraid!” the toddler boy sitting on the next bed exclaimed. “The villain has been caught. He won’t threaten us anymore.”

Frank smiled a little. “Louis is right. Besides, we are all here, with you. You have nothing to worry about anymore.”

Instead of nodding, Kara scanned the fairly large room. “Where’s Mom?”

“Grandma stays at Mr. Kind’s house. Tomorrow after Louis and Mommy are allowed to go home, we will also stay there!”

Kara spontaneously furrowed her eyebrows. Before she could protest, Frank whispered, “Your apartment is still under investigation and cannot be occupied. So, you should stay at my mansion.”

Kara spontaneously shook his head. “No, we won’t stay there. I appreciate your kindness, Mister Harper, but we can find another place to stay. Emily, Louis, remember. We can’t bother other people.”

Frank had expected that, but the curve of his lips still turned slanted. ” How about you stay in the apartment I told you?” He raised an eyebrow.

Once again, Kara shook her head. Just then, Frank snorted a laugh. Did you see that, Kids? Your mother rejects this offer.”

The twins nodded in unison.

“Staying at Mr. Kind’s house is indeed the most appropriate choice.”

“Yes, we get a place to live, while he gets someone to fill his empty room. This is a mutualistic symbisis,” Louis said lightly.

“Symbiosis, Louis!”

Kara was stunned. What had Frank said to her family that made them

Suddenly, warm fingers touched her hand. She thought it was Frank. However, when she was about to dodge, her eyes caught Emily’s tiny fingers on the back of her hand.

“Mommy, can’t we stay at Mr. Harper’s house?”

The little girl’s voice was so sweet. Her eyes were filled with tears.

“We’ve been exhausted and scared for several days. I thought it would be fine to rest for a while. Even though the villain has been caught, I can’t calm down yet. It feels like there are still bad people everywhere.

“Mommy,” Louis called quickly, “please do what Emily said. I’m tired of hearing her cry.”

Kara forced her heavy lids to lift higher. “Emily’s crying?”

“Yes. When we saw Mommy faint, her tears were like a faucet. Her crying made my head dizzy. Luckily, Frank Harper is an expert at calming Emily down.”

Kara was stunned. She blinked and furrowed her brows.

Yes, Frank Harper was the man who ruined her life. But now, he was back and determined to make amends. He was the one who saved the twins from being kidnapped. He was the one who protected Karat from Rolland. He was also the one who calmed her from fear.

‘Should I give him a chance?’

Suddenly, Emily’s tears thickened. Her lips parted and let out a whine. Before her crying became loud, Frank swiftly picked up the little girl.

“Princess, don’t cry. Even if you don’t stay at my mansion, I will still protect you.”

However, Emily shook her head and hugged Frank’s neck tightly as if

forever.

Witnessing it, Louis took a deep breath and shook his head. His focus

on finishing the apartment broke again.

“Looks like I won’t be able to sleep tonight,” he grumbled with drooping shoulders.

Kara’s heart turned heavy. With sad eyes, she looked alternately at

Emily and Louis. After a while, she finally let out a long sigh.

“Okay. We’ll stay there, but only until we find a new apartment.”

In an instant, Emily’s tears stopped running down. While wiping her nose, she turned her head. “Is it true?”

Louis smiled faintly. “As I thought, she’s just acting.”

Kara nodded. “Yes. Now come here, Emily. It’s time for bed.”

Unexpectedly, the little girl shook her head again. “I’m tired of sleeping on a hospital bed. I want to sleep on the couch with Mr. Kind.

While Kara stared wide eyed, Frank chuckled. It’s only then that Kara realized that her boss was already wearing casual clothes, just like Emily with her new pajamas.

“You sleep here?” Kara inquired spontaneously.
