?<strong>Chapter 609:</strong>


    “Where am I? And why am I here?”


    Before the nurse could answer, the door swung open and someone walked in. It was yton. “You’re safe here. This is my ce. There’s nothing to worry about.”


    When Kallieid eyes on yton, a wave of relief washed over her, and she exhaled deeply. She recalled her dream, so vivid that it felt real, as if Jake had been right there with her. But why wasn’t Jake here now?


    yton caught the look of confusion in her eyes. He quickly reassured her, “Jake is here too, but he passed out from his injuries. Don’t worry. He’s safe.”


    Only then did Kallie allow herself to rx. The tension she had carried for so long finally broke, and tears streamed down her face. She was free atst. She was safe, no longer living under constant threat.


    yton, clearly flustered by her sudden tears, leaned closer. “Are you in pain? Please, don’t cry. You’re safe here. Just let me know if you need anything.”


    Kallie shook her head softly, brushing away yton’s hand as he tried to wipe her tears. “I’m fine,” she whispered. “It just feels like a dream.”


    She nced at the nurse, her eyes filled with longing. “Can I see my babies right now? Just for a moment. Even from a distance.”


    The nurse hesitated, her eyes flicking toward yton. yton offered a gentle smile. “Kallie, the most important thing right now is for you to rest.”


    “Baby? Baby! Who’s trying to take my baby?” Suddenly, the door burst open, and a figure charged into the room, charging straight at Kallie.


    If not for yton’s quick reflexes, the person would have crashed into Kallie.


    Kallie froze in shock and then recognized the person. It was yton’s younger sister.


    But something was off about yton’s younger sister’s mental state, like a delicate thread fraying under too much tension. Her huge swollen belly was now t, and she had a wild, unhinged look in her eyes. She clutched a rag doll tightly in her arms like a newborn.


    Sensing Kallie’s gaze on her, yton’s younger sister stared back, teeth bared and eyes aze with intensity.


    yton stepped between them, speaking softly to his sister. “Cara, it’s me, your brother. There’s no need to be scared. I promise, no one is going to take your baby from you.”


    yton did his best to soothe Cara, shooting Kallie an apologetic smile.


    But Cara was too far gone, her mind lost in grief. She pointed an using finger at Kallie. “No! It’s her! She’s the one trying to steal my baby!”


    Kallie, still shaken, nced at yton for an exnation. yton sighed heavily as he had Cara taken away.


    His face was filled with regret as he exined, “That night, everything happened so fast. To find a safe ce for you, I had to move you and my sister. You lost consciousness halfway through, and I failed to notice Cara tumble into the sea.


    Fortunately, Jake saved her, but she lost her baby. She hasn’t been the same, especially mentally, since.” His voice was thick with regret. “I failed her.”
