The legendary life of a manga

Chapter 230 Karen's Position in Lake's Heart

A week later.

Lake followed General Ross from Texas and flew back to the Quantico military base.

"Remember to keep this a secret."

"……I know."

"I'm afraid you don't know."

"..."

When the plane was about to approach Quantico Base, General Ross unbuckled his seat belt, got to Lake's side, and woke up Lake, who was sleeping with his head covered, and said with a serious face.

Lake opened his mouth.

General Ross said, "That Rachel from The Sun."

Lake snorted and said, "Don't worry, I know what to say and what not to say."

Rose was expressionless: "I said there are other things."

Lake stood up and looked at General Ross suspiciously. He didn't know if it was an illusion. It seemed that General Ross was offline at this moment, and his adoptive father Ross was online.

What the hell?

Lake thought for a while: "Other things should be gone, you mean Betty and Dr. Banner?"

"I'm talking about you and Rachel."

"..."

Ross shook his head speechlessly and said to Lake, "When you were attacked in Texas, I had already sent people to take Skye and Rachel to the Quantico base for protection, and Karen already knew about Rachel's situation." It happened, she was very angry, but she had been busy before, so I didn't tell you."

Lake opened his mouth wide: "Karen knows... what?"

"What do you say?"

Rose glanced at Lake: "All things, there are still 10 minutes to land, you think about it, how to comfort Karen, she is very sad."

Done.

Rose got up and was about to go to the cockpit to have a look, but he was muttering in his heart.

know what?
Good guy.

Isn't it the matter of Rachel's pregnancy? Could it be that there are other little secrets hidden in this kid's heart?

Lake also looked at Rose's back, and Xiao Nian's thoughts turned sharply.

Karen knows?

what?
Rachel is pregnant?

Lake knew this. After all, Ross had already said it when he arrived from Quantico, so Karen knew that Rachel was pregnant, which was expected.

But... you know everything?
Theron exposed?
Or is Emilia and his little padded jacket also exposed?
Inverse son?

That guy doesn't count, he has no place in his heart at all, and when he was raised until he was 21 years old, he just kicked him out and let him fend for himself.

Lake's eyes flickered.

inside the cockpit.

Ross was on a satellite encrypted call with Karen.

soon.

10 minute later.

The plane landed steadily at the rebuilt Quantico military base airport.

5 minute later.

Inside the hangar.

Lake lowered his head and pondered, always feeling that the possibility of Karen knowing about Emilia and the little padded jacket should not be very high.

but……

Lake looked at Rose, who turned his head to look at him from time to time, and seemed to have some kind of mysterious smile, and always felt that there was such a possibility.

at this time.

Not far away, Rachel looked at Lake who got off the plane, ran over and hugged Lake.

Lake recovered.

not far away.

Skye also pulled Rachel's adopted daughter, Josie, over.

Skye did not like Rachel, but just greeted Lake with a smile.

Lake smiled back.

"Are you OK."

"fine."

After Rachel let go of Lake, she said, I've been so worried these days, and then directly offered her passionate kiss.

The corner of Skye's mouth twitched, and then he turned around, pulling Josie who was staring at him beside her.

Hey Hey hey.

There are two minors here, so unrestrained, okay?

ten minutes later.

Base dormitory.

After getting out of the car, Lake hugged Karen who seemed to be familiar with him standing at the door waiting for him to come back. Then, looking at Karen's eyes with a guilty conscience, he looked around: "Where's Betty?"

Let's say that.

Lake can reverse time for Karen, but not necessarily for Rose.

Of course, this is just a metaphor.

Karen said: "Still in the lab, come in, I think we need to have a serious conversation."

Lake said, "I'm going to..."

Serious conversation.

This seems familiar, can you not go?
Karen interrupted directly: "It's okay to be late, Rachel, you take the two children to the backyard first."

Lake looked at Rachel.

Rachel made a sorry mouth to Lake, and then called out to Skye and Josie who were not far away, and brought Skye and Josie into the house.

Lake and Karen followed closely behind.

"Sit down, son."

"……thanks."

Lake listened to Karen's direct and serious words after entering the room, and his heart felt guilty. He could clearly feel the sadness... and disappointment conveyed from Karen?

Good guy.

Really exposed?

how come.

Impossible, I've done a good job keeping this secret.

"When did this happen."

"what."

Lake came back to his senses, looked at Karen, who was sitting on the opposite sofa, and turned directly from a prosecutor to a psychologist, picked up the book of conversations between Lake and Betty growing up, and raised his eyebrows: "You said Rachel , which is what we discovered when we traveled to Los Angeles."

Karen nodded: "Why didn't you say that?"

Lake's thoughts changed sharply: "I want to talk about it, but after returning from Los Angeles, this kind of thing happened. I originally thought about taking Rachel back this Christmas."

I'm so smart.

"Really?"

"Of course!"

Lake said to Karen: "I lied to Betty, but I can't lie to you."

Karen chuckled: "Okay, this matter is too much for you, then there is more, let's talk."

"and also?"

"Want me to tell?"

"Need not."

"What do you say."

Lake quickly waved his hand, looked at Karen's serious expression, hesitated for a while, and thought for a while: "Catherine?"

Forget it.

Anyway, sooner or later it will be brought back to show Karen.

Lake did not tell Karen before because it was not in time at that time. If it was exposed, it would have an impact on Emilia. At least, if it was brought back at that time, there would be no doubt that the VAM consortium would become a The private assets of the immortal royal family will not have such smooth sailing.

Karen raised an eyebrow.

Really something.

Karen thought about what her husband Rose called him just now, and thought about blowing it up, but unexpectedly, it really exploded.

"Cough cough!"

Karen coughed and looked at Lake, "Continue."

Lake glanced at Karen suspiciously this time.

This time he clearly captured Karen's nervousness, surprise and guilt for a second.

Shet.

Is this a quilt if you care about it?
but……

Lake thought about it, and it didn't matter anymore. He leaned on the sofa, spread his hands, smiled and said, "Catherine is your granddaughter."

"puff!"

"..."

The lemonade Karen just drank spurted out: "What did you say?"

jesus god.

What did she hear? She thought that there was another woman named Catherine in Lake, but it turned out, good guy.

Concerned, Lake got up and took out a few tissues from the coffee table and handed them to Karen.

He didn't want to cause Karen to choke on water and go to hell because of this incident. If he went to hell to clear the level because of choking on water, Mephisto would probably feel very wronged.

Karen took the tissue and pointed to the sofa: "Sit down, explain clearly to me, and start from the beginning."

Lake shrugged: "Start from the beginning, it probably won't be finished in a while."

talking.

Lake briefly talked about how he met Emilia in Budapest, then Catherine was born, and then Lake went to Budapest every time these years.

Karen interrupted: "Is it that every March you lie to your sister that you are traveling to Europe?"

Lake nodded.

Karen covered her forehead, and looked at Lake who did such a big thing in disbelief: "How old is it?"

"Fourteen, one year younger than Skye."

"Wow."

Karen let out a wow in surprise, and then seemed to think of something: "But, you didn't seem to have been there this year and last year, right? Why?"

I've been there.

A clone is left here.

Lake thought so in his heart, but he definitely wouldn't say that, and said directly: "At that time, Emilia came over there."

Karen nodded.

next second.

Karen looked at Lake again: "But, you never thought about telling me about this. When are you going to wait for me and Rose to die?"

This is a heartbreaking statement.

Lake quickly said, "How could that be?"

Karen said, "Oh, so when are you going to tell me, Lake, remember the coming-of-age note I gave you when you were 16 and your sister was 16?"

Lake nodded.

"What's written on it?"

“Honesty is the best policy. Your family will always be your most trustworthy”

Honesty is the best policy, family is always your most trustworthy.

This was given to Lake by Karen as a gift when he was 16 years old. If every family has a backbone, then Karen is undoubtedly the one.

Karen attaches great importance to the family, maybe ordinary holidays, even, for example, Karen's own birthday, she will not ask everyone to come back, but Thanksgiving, family reunion day must come back.

"Then did you do it?"

"I'm very sorry."

Lake sincerely apologized to Karen, and then said: "Actually, I wanted to bring her back to see you from the very beginning, but there are some things I have to deal with."

Karen looked at the expression on Lake's face: "What about now?"

Lake said: "If you would like to see them, I would be more than happy to let them come."

Karen didn't immediately answer the question.

Her disappointment was only because Lake didn't tell her about the existence of her granddaughter Catherine, and it wasn't disappointment that Lake gave birth to the crystallization of love with a certain foreign woman.

Karen's education for Lake and Betty has always been similar to stocking, but the rope is always in a state of holding hands.

Love is always unrestrained and unpredictable.

There are too many federal people who are not responsible for giving birth to children, but are there still fewer incidents of eating forbidden fruits and getting out of control?

If Lake said he never visited his daughter, Karen would be disappointed and very angry.

Karen shook her head: "Are they still in Budapest?"

Lake nodded: "Emilia is still there, and Catherine is now going to school in the small town of Forks in the federal state of Washington."

Karen: "..."
