Chapter 1107:

Upon learning the truth, Kallie’s sadness deepened, mixed with pain and guilt. She regretted not safeguarding Elma better. Her guilt was compounded by her recent awareness of the full situation. Without Jake’s revelation, she would have remained ignorant of Elma’s plight. Overwhelmed, tears streamed down Kallie’s cheeks. She sought comfort in Jake’s embrace, crying quietly.

Jake, typically stoic, felt his heart break seeing her cry. Kallie’s quiet sobs and trembling shoulders stirred his compassion. He soothed her by gently patting her back, offering silent support while she processed her emotions.

Eventually, Kallie’s tears subsided. Raising her head, her eyes appeared red and swollen, her voice thick with emotion as she whispered, “Elma must have endured so much. This is all my fault.”

Jake, with tenderness, wiped her tears away.

“It’s okay. We’ve found a way now. Elma will get better.”

Kallie looked up at him, hope flickering in her eyes.

“Really?”

Jake affirmed with a nod.

“Yes, really. I want you to be happy and healthy, no matter the cost. I’m prepared to do whatever it takes.” He was prepared to sacrifice anything, even his fortune or his life, though he kept this last thought to himself. Saying so might upset Kallie further, something he wished to avoid. He couldn’t bear to see her cry herself breathless.
