Chapter 1128

Chapter 1128:

Elma sensed something was off and gently patted Kallie’s back to comfort her.

“Mom, is Lacey bothering you again? Don’t worry, next time I see my dad, I’ll tell him to give that mean woman a good talking-to. Dad loves you a lot now, and he cares about me too. He won’t let anyone hurt us.”

Elma’s words were meant to reassure Kallie.

Yet, Kallie’s heart sank at Elma’s words, a sharp pang of pain echoing through her. A wave of pity for Elma washed over her. Elma was such a kind and compassionate soul.

Right now, Elma was unaware of her father’s deception and still clung to the naive belief that Jake had brought her here to heal her.

Kallie had intended to reveal the truth to Elma. However, as she gazed upon Elma’s hopeful expression, the words caught in her throat. She resolved to abandon her plan. The truth was a harsh reality, too brutal for Elma to bear. Kallie concluded that it would be best to shield Elma from it until she was older.

Kallie fought back the tears welling up in her eyes. Taking a deep breath to compose herself, she asked, “Elma, would you like to leave with me?”
