Chapter 147:

Kallie was plagued by nightmares and struggled to find rest.

Her sleeplessness was evident, prompting the doctor to suggest melatonin to ease her anxiety.

However, gripped by fear, Kallie assumed those pills were abortion drugs and adamantly refused them.

Cradling her belly, she longed to whisper kind words to her unborn child but realized she couldn’t speak.

Tears gathered in her eyes as she pondered whether her baby could understand her thoughts.

Drifting between wakefulness and sleep, she began to doze off.

At that moment, the door creaked open.
