âWhen 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 didnât love you.
She would only sympathize with you and feel sorry for you, right? If she didnât harbor ill feelings towards you, she wouldnât target you again Karinaâs 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 Karinaâs eyes, Rosalynn struggled to hold back her own emotions.
âBefore Barlow passed out, he said how he longed to hold you in his arms again.
He really loves you, Karina.
â
Overwhelmed, Karina couldnât contain her tears.
âHe is such a fool! Why didnât he tell me earlier? Iâm not afraid of danger!â
Rosalynn suppressed her own bitterness.
âBut 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.
â
Barlowâs smiling face flashed before Karinaâs 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, âHe is such a big fool! Once he is out of this, Iâll give him a piece of my mind!â
Rosalynn clenched her fists and said, âThatâs right.
When he comes out, Iâll help you scold him.
â
âRosalyn, he will be okay, right?â Karina asked in a trembling voice and hugged Rosalynn tightly.
Rosalynn patted her back comfortingly.
âAbsolutely.
â
The two friends held each other tightly, sharing a single wish at that moment.
They both prayed for Barlowâs safety.
Shortly after, Sanford and Maggie arrived at the hospital.
âRosalynn, Karina.
