Chapter 123:

“You’ll help, right?” Sarah’s voice was soft, almost a whisper.

Amara’s head throbbed as she gazed at Sarah. Sarah was her daughter, after all. Pity welled up inside her.

“Of course, I’ll help you,” Amara reassured Sarah, her voice gentle. “For now, just try to rest. I’ll handle anyone who gets in your way.”

Comforted by Amara’s words, Sarah’s lips curled into a faint smile before she quietly drifted into sleep.

Meanwhile, Kallie surveyed the chaotic scene around her, feeling daunted. This repair was going to be a challenge.

Just then, her phone vibrated, displaying a message from Rachel that included two photos of her mother donning two elegant dresses.

After pondering her next steps, Kallie devised a plan. She would start by collecting all the scattered pieces of clothing. Then, she planned to scour a few vintage clothing stores for missing elements.

Many vintage store garments came with signs of wear and tear.

Kallie lacked experience in mending clothes, but she thought seeking assistance was worth a shot.

Reality, however, proved harsh.

Most shops rejected Kallie’s request, which she could somewhat understand. Perhaps mending was their niche expertise.

A few ridiculed Kallie for her inability to speak, but Kallie opted to overlook their scorn. Engaging with such individuals only exacerbated the situation.
