The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 477

"Sandy's heart ached for her mom, and she desperately wanted to step in, but no one would listen. Her mom had gotten hurt trying to protect Sandy."

"Dad, why are they hurting Mom? I can't stand seeing her bullied anymore," Sandy cried, her words broken by her sobs.

Even though Sandy had been warned by her mom that this might happen, watching Dahlia get hurt was unbearable, and her tears flowed even more freely.

Charles understood why Dahlia was in this mess, but he never anticipated those people would find their way into Sandy's hospital room. He had kept Sandy's location a secret to shield her from harm. While he wanted to teach Dahlia a lesson, he never intended for Sandy to get caught in the middle.

When Sandy pleaded, he stayed silent. Compared to the pain Dahlia had inflicted on Adam, her current situation seemed minor. But still...

"Dad, please help Mom, won't you? You're like a superhero; I know you can do something," Sandy begged, her small body quivering with emotion.

Charles glanced down at Sandy's tear-streaked face. She'd just had surgery and needed a peaceful recovery. At just seven, she'd already faced a kidney rejection. Another setback could be too much for her fragile body.

Holding Sandy tighter, Charles felt his heart squeeze. Despite everything, Sandy was determined to get him to help her mom.
