He looked down at the person in his arms, and at this moment, she was somewhat like a startled bird, filled with a sense of unease.
What happened today was like a brush with death for her. After all, she was only 22 years old.
Kyle Kinston said lowly, "I won’t let anything happen to me. As long as you’re here, I won’t let anything happen to myself."
He cupped her face, noticing her bangs were damp with sweat, he frowned slightly, then smoothed her bangs and asked, "Why are you sweating so much?"
"Earlier, I had a nightmare, and then when I woke up, you were gone again..." she murmured.
"Sorry, I went out to take care of something." He lifted her horizontally into his arms and started up the staircase. "What kind of nightmare made you sweat so much?"
Her eyes dimmed, she moved her somewhat dry lips and said, "I dreamed of the past scenes in Drumbeat Village... and also, the scene when Daniel Harris suddenly came to find me today... and the scene of the explosion..."
His steps paused slightly, then continued as normal, "Alright, don’t think about these things anymore. The police will uncover the true culprit of this explosion case, and I won’t let anyone who wants to harm you go unpunished."
"The true culprit?" Mabel Quinn was a little stunned, "Isn’t the true culprit Grace Yowell?"
Kyle Kinston said, "Not necessarily, there’s probably someone behind Grace Yowell. With her capability, it wouldn’t be that easy for her to get such a bomb."
Mabel Quinn blamed herself, "Actually, it’s all my fault. I was too eager to get the badge back. I only thought that even if Grace Yowell really wanted to get back at me, it would only be through physical means or threats. I never thought it would be a bomb."

"You just didn’t think people could be so despicable." Kyle Kinston said, "Grace Yowell may just be a pawn in this explosion."
So does this mean that Grace Yowell was also being used this time?
"But your badge was completely destroyed in the explosion, and there’s no way to recover it." Kyle Kinston said.
Mabel Quinn was momentarily stunned, then slowly lowered her head, her face full of bitterness. She should have realized that in such an explosion, how could the badge have possibly been preserved?
The item her father entrusted to her to keep was ultimately lost for good.
Kyle Kinston carried Mabel Quinn into the bathroom, let her wash up, and then wiped her face with a warm towel, kissing her forehead gently, trying to give her the best comfort.
"Don’t be sad. Since this badge was an important item your father gave you, then in a way, it shielded you from a disaster. If your father has any spirit in the afterlife, he wouldn’t blame you." Kyle Kinston said.
Though Mabel Quinn’s eyes still showed some gloom, she forced a small smile on her lips, "Hmm, I will pull myself together." Because she didn’t want him to worry about her, and after all, she still had many things to do.
"Kyle, when it gets light, I want to visit Daniel Harris at the hospital again." she said. Although she had not stayed in the hospital fearing the resentment of the Harris Family, she still could not set her mind at ease about Daniel Harris.
A gleam flickered in Kyle Kinston’s eyes, and then he said gently, "Okay, come dawn, I’ll go with you."
"You have a lot of work to deal with, I can go by myself." Mabel Quinn said.
