“When Kennedi saw that Barlow had gone to South Bay Village to find you, she grew suspicious and orchestrated the kidnapping of both of us. She wanted to force him to make a choice.

If he chose to save you today, it would prove his love for you. In that case, Kennedi would kill you.

But if Barlow prioritized saving me, Kennedi would realize he didn't love you. She would only sympathize with you and feel sorry for you, right? If she didn't harbor ill feelings towards you, she wouldn't target you again Karina's heart swirled with complex emotions when she heard this.

It was a mix of warmth and bitterness.

Could it be that Barlow genuinely loved her?

Seeing the tears in Karina's eyes, Rosalynn struggled to hold back her own emotions.

“Before Barlow passed out, he said how he longed to hold you in his arms again. He really loves you, Karina."

Overwhelmed, Karina couldn't contain her tears.

"He is such a fool! Why didn't he tell me earlier? I'm not afraid of danger!"

Rosalynn suppressed her own bitterness.

"But he is afraid for your safety. When you love someone, you want them to be safe and sound.

Karina, his love for you runs deep."

Barlow's smiling face flashed before Karina's eyes.

Each encounter, from their very first meeting to every subsequent interaction, etched deep memories into her heart.

Beneath his seemingly dissolute exterior lay a profound love for her.

Karina exclaimed through her tears, “He is such a big fool! Once he is out of this, I'll give him a piece of my mind!"

Rosalynn clenched her fists and said, “That's right. When he comes out, I'll help you scold him."

“Rosalyn, he will be okay, right?" Karina asked in a trembling voice and hugged Rosalynn tightly.

Rosalynn patted her back comfortingly.

“Absolutely.”
