***Kelly's POV

"What will you do now? Pierce asked worriedly.

I pressed my lips together and took a deep sigh. "1 actually don't know... I don't know anymore."

"Why don't you start getting yourself checked and get some rest. You shouldn't stress yourself too much.

I stared at his face. "Can you let Snow stay at your house for the meantime?"

He clenched his jaws. "Whatever you want for her, but I'm worried about you too. I can't just leave you here especially after you told me about your situation."

I smiled and caressed his arm. "I'm fine, Pierce. I still have to work and besides, Emily and Yara are here

It didn't take us long until my eyes feasted on the beautiful sunflower farm. Even Emily looked very fascinated because of the beautiful flowers.

I want to know the citation of the farm that's why I visited here. I'm heiress of the Fosters' riches but I don't really need this. I just heard that most of the residents of this province knew my mom's family. Some are even old workers. I'd fish information from them and I'm gonna start now.
