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.

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.
