Child's Play

Karen Joy Kyle looked at Nathaniel Cooper and noticed every slight change in his expression. This was her last hope. If she showed him the necklace and he denied it again, he most probably wasn’t her Brother Lionel then. Nathaniel did not deny it immediately, so this gave Karen Joy some hope. While waiting, Karen Joy was so nervous that she gulped several times and unconsciously approached him a little. "Mr. President, this necklace was given to me by my Brother Lionel. Brother Lionel told me that after I grew up, I could come to him with this necklace." He might be hesitating, but it did not matter. She would try harder to remind him of something that he might have forgotten. He might be able to recall their special relationship. "Silly girl, this is just an ordinary necklace. Your Brother Lionel asked you to bring this necklace along to find him, but this is what an adult would say to lie to a child, how can you take it seriously?" After a dreadful wait, Nathaniel finally responded.
