Chapter 703:

Elma’s delicate features were etched with vulnerability, and such a sight pierced Kallie’s heart.

Kallie had mixed feelings. This was the child of her ex-husband and another woman. Logically, she shouldn’t get involved. This wasn’t her problem. But something held her back, a strange reluctance to pull away. She knew that if she withdrew her hand now, it would devastate Elma, possibly bringing tears. And crying might aggravate Elma’s injuries.

Suddenly, a vivid image flashed in Kallie’s mind: her own daughter, Sophie, frail and vulnerable during a childhood illness. The sight of a child in pain was simply unbearable. Kallie’s heart ached for Elma, her maternal instincts kicking in.

Almost without realizing it, Kallie found herself drawn to Elma’s bedside, her mind conjuring up justifications for her gesture. Elma’s sweet little face lit up with a smile as she tightly held Kallie’s hand, afraid that this warmth would disappear.

Elma’s voice was a soft murmur, barely above a whisper, but her words were clear enough. “Mommy, can you be a little nicer to me? Can we go home? I don’t like it here. Daddy doesn’t either.”

Feeling that Elma was delirious, Kallie reached out to feel Elma’s forehead. “Oh my!” she exclaimed, pulling her hand back quickly. Elma was burning up.
