Chapter 285 Stunned, Tina opened the door.
As the person behind the door was revealed, Kara‘s excited voice came through the phone.
“Mommy, why‘s Keith with you?”.
The small figure at the door was none other than Keith Langford. Keith was surprised as well. Only after a beat did he realize that Tina was on a video call with Kara.

With his hands in his pockets, he looked haughty and cool. He said self–importantly, “What, can‘t I be here? Am I not welcome?” “Of course not!” Kara said. “When you ran off before, Mommy and I were so worried! Mommy even went out to look for you and didn‘t come home all night...” Taken aback, Keith‘s eyebrows drew together unconsciously. “How could she have looked for me all night? When I left, you were all asleep...”
Mommy rushed out to find you.”
Rather than hide what she knew, Kara blurted everything out with ease.
Keith‘s face blanched for a swift second. In that instant, information he‘d found flashed through his mind. If he hadn‘t left so suddenly, Tina wouldn‘t have gone out to find him and end up bumping into Samuel. Thus, she was now being hunted down by his father.
And here Keith had thought he had done all that he had to protect this mother and daughter. In the end, things had turned out this way after all.
Keith was intelligent, and so quickly figured out what was going on based on these clues. With Keith looking so unsettled, the ever observant Tina soon figured out that something was amiss.

“What is it? Are you feeling unwell? Are you still sick?”. She touched Keith‘s forehead out of worry.
Keith shook his head and said, “I‘ve recovered, but... I‘m sorry, I didn‘t know...”
.
He even wondered for the briefest moment whether he had been the one who had caused all this.
Seeing how mature the young Keith acted, Tina felt a little annoyed. “Hey, kid, why are you apologizing to me? I‘m an adult. I‘m supposed to take care of you!” “I...”
“Alright, let‘s not talk about the past anymore. Let‘s talk about happy stuff,” Tina said, Kara went right along with that, chattering about everything that was happening at her kindergarten in Freesia. After a while, Tina ended the call reluctantly. Sounding determined, Keith said, “Don‘t worry, I‘ll protect you both.” Tina was taken aback. She didn‘t expect to hear such solemn words from one so young. However, she didn‘t make fun of him. She nodded and said, “That‘s great.”
At that moment, a ruckus came from outside the door. It seemed like there was a group of people going around knocking on doors looking for something. “What‘s going on out there?” Tina was stunned for a moment. Keith glanced at the child wristwatch he always wore and realized he had missed a lot of updates during the time he spent with Tina and Kara. “Oh, no. They realized that I snuck out and are here to find me. I have to leave now!” Seeing that Keith meant to leave on his own, Tina said, “Let me bring you there...”
Keith snapped impatiently, “I don‘t think that‘s wise, considering your current circumstances.” At that moment, Tina was bare of makeup. Indeed, it wasn‘t a good idea for her to step out. She could only give
up on the idea. “Send me a text once you get back.”
“Okay.”
As he spoke, Keith opened the door to leave.
However...
Right then, a man‘s deep voice came from outside. “Keith Langford, what did you run off here for?”
