?<strong>Chapter 628:</strong>


    But Cara was in no rush.


    yton was frantic. He had to carry Elma himself, searching for a doctor.


    yton was sweating profusely when, in the elevator, he bumped into Kallie. Of all people.


    Kallie was at the hospital with her two kids in tow. They had had a st the day before, but Calvin had gotten a little too wild and sprained his ankle.


    Now, Calvin was hobbling around, trying to take it easy. Kallie and her two children were just leaving the doctor’s office.


    Kallie offered to carry Calvin, but Calvin, feeling all grown-up, insisted on walking himself.


    yton’s eyes went wide when he spotted Kallie. His first instinct was to bolt with Elma, but it was toote. Kallie had already seen him.


    “yton?” Kallie’s voice,ced with confusion, made him freeze.


    yton hesitated and then turned around, stering a surprised look on his face. “What are you doing here?”


    Kallie responded, a smile ying on her lips, “I’m on vacation with the kids. Didn’t expect to bump into you. Are you on holiday too? Is this your little one?”


    Elma clung to yton, her face hidden against his neck. Kallie didn’t connect Elma to the girl they’d met the day before.


    yton smiled andunched into an exnation. “The scenery’s amazing here. My sister’s health isn’t great, so I brought her here, hoping the change of pace would do her good. I still have to head back to take care of the Morgan family business every month, though. This little one is my sister’s adopted daughter. She lost her own child a few years ago, and it broke her heart. Adopting this little girl has helped her heal.”


    “I see,” Kallie replied, her voice heavy with emotion.


    Memories flooded back, and a wave of guilt washed over Kallie. “If it wasn’t for me, your sister wouldn’t have lost her baby. I feel awful about it. If there’s anything I can do, please, don’t hesitate to ask,” she said, her voice thick with regret.


    yton shook his head vehemently. “No, Kallie, it’s not your fault at all. I made my own choices, and I have to live with the consequences. Let’s not dwell on what’s done.”


    Kallie nodded slowly, her gaze falling on Elma’s ear. Elma’s skin was smooth and soft, but a gruesome sight marred her delicate ear.


    A deep, jagged split ran across it, traces of blood still visible. It didn’t look like an ident. It looked like someone had deliberately hurt her.


    Kallie shook her head, trying to dismiss the disturbing thought. She told herself that she must be imagining things. yton and Cara must adore the little girl dearly. It must be a misunderstanding.


    Just then, the elevator reached yton’s floor. He gave Kallie a warm smile and hurried out with Elma in his arms. Elma shifted in yton’s arms, her face turning toward Kallie.


    Kallie’s breath hitched in her throat. She stared at yton’s back, her mind reeling. Had she really seen what she thought she saw? But then she shook her head, pushing the doubts aside.
