After Jessica's fever subsided, Kathryn looked at Kelly and held the little girl in her arms. "Why are you drenched?""I accidentally fell when I went to buy medicine for Mommy."Kathryn's heart ached at her words, and she felt distressed. She quickly removed Kelly's wet clothes and helped her change into fresh and dry clothes.Kathryn noticed the wounds on her knees, and she quickly found the first-aid kit and helped treat them. "Why didn't you call me sooner?""Mommy said she didn't want to ask you for help every time. She said she could handle this alone." Kelly's voice became softer as she spoke.Although Jessica said she could handle it, she couldn't even get out of bed today.Kathryn felt even sadder to hear her words. She patted Kelly's head in this stress, her sadness making her uncomfortable. "Next time, you have to call me no matter what happens. Got it?""Yes, I understand."After changing Kelly's clothes and treating her wounds, Kathryn touched Jessica's forehead ag
Right now, Jessica even had a needle in the back of her hand.She tried to sit up, but Kathryn held her down. "You should lie down. You have a pretty bad fever."Although Jessica was awake, her entire body was limp, and she had no strength. She looked at Kelly, eyes filled with tenderness. "I must have scared you silly, Kelly.""I'm sorry, Mommy. I was really worried, so I called Aunt Kathryn," Kelly said weakly.Jessica wasn't blaming Kelly, but her apology distressed her even more. She took a deep breath and said, "I'm not blaming you, Kelly. You did a great job.""See? I told you that your mommy wouldn't blame you."Kelly spent the entire afternoon worrying if Jessica would blame her for calling Kathryn. Her personality showed how well-behaved she was with the Quintons family.However, Karen and Matthew had somewhat patriarchal mindsets. Jessica had always taught Kelly to be good. Even so, Karen and Matthew still showed no mercy to them when they separated. Instead, they ha
Seeing this, the driver nodded. After getting in the car, they headed back to Sunshine Bay.Kathryn felt as if she had fought a war today. She looked at the little girl in her arms. "I'll take you to see your mommy tomorrow, okay?""Okay." Kelly nodded obediently.Kathryn liked Kelly the more she interacted with her. She felt heartbroken when she remembered how Kelly was bullied at school not long ago.What annoyed her even more was that the teacher just watched as she got bullied. She thought that her sister's conditions for compensation were reasonable."No matter what happens, you have to call me. Alright? If anyone bullies you, I'll help you fight back."People said that they couldn't do that to children, but after said children pushed Kelly to the brink, Kathryn really wanted to teach them a lesson."Aunt Kathryn!" Kelly said, tears filling her eyes. It was clear that she was still hurt from the ordeal, even after such a long time.Kathryn said, "I'm really strong, you kno
When Chris heard Kelly greeting him softly, a gentle smile appeared on his face. "Hello, you're really polite."Byron also nodded his head.At this moment, he saw that Kelly didn't look as miserable as she did at noon. Kathryn put her in a yellow dress. The dress was a little worn out from washing. But because she was clean, she looked simple and intelligent.Kathryn took care of Kelly as she ate.The chefs at Sunshine Bay were really skilled. They cooked the meat patties and fish filets very well.However, when Kathryn picked up a piece of shrimp and gave it to Kelly, Kelly said with her mouth full of food, "I don't eat shrimp, Aunt Kathryn.""Huh? Why? Shrimps are delicious.""My body will itch."Kathryn was speechless. That meant that she was allergic. She didn't know Kelly was allergic to shrimp.In fact, when Jessica was still with the Quintons, she also didn't know about Kelly's allergies. After all, shrimp were so expensive, and she never bought them.After moving the
It stood to reason that they didn't have children's clothes at home. However, they had small and large clothes when preparing for the arrival of Kathryn's baby.Nalia took a larger set of pajamas and put them on Kelly."Is she done bathing?""Yes, Mrs. Albert. Why don't I sleep with Kelly tonight?" Nalia suggested.Chris gave her several looks when he went upstairs just now. She had worked here for years, so she knew what it meant.Chris cherished Kathryn too much. He wouldn't want to sleep at night without holding her in his arms.This was also the reason why Nalia started playing with Kelly just now. Fortunately, the little girl was well-behaved.Kathryn was a little worried when she heard Nalia's suggestion. She looked at Kelly and asked, "Why don't you sleep with me, Kelly?"Kelly shook her head. "No, it's okay. Ms. Nalia wants to tell me a few more stories."Kathryn was speechless. She could also tell her stories. Hang on, was Kelly that easy to convince? Nalia actually
Chris took Kathryn into his arms, kissing her lips intensely as he held her chin. Though the kiss exuded fierceness, a subtle undercurrent of affection lingered.Kathryn's lips were still in pain. She was so infuriated as Chris had treated her so harshly that she wanted to punch him.Chris seized her wrist. He asked with a smile, "Do you really want to hit me?""H-Hold the baby properly! Don't drop him!" Kathryn couldn't believe Chris could do something like that even though he was holding the baby. It seemed that he wasn't exhausted at all after working.Chris grinned, releasing her wrist before heading to the nanny's room with the baby.Almost instantly, he returned. He scooped Kathryn up and threw her onto the bed. Her body exuded a soft fragrance. Kathryn sensed his intentions. She was so irritated that she immediately kicked him. "Stop it." She was already in so much pain.Observing Kathryn's audacious display of anger, Chris seized her feet and gently pulled her toward
Krista shook her head with agony. "How would I get into a fight with her? I just …"She recollected what she had done back then. She had gone to the pharmacy to buy Kathryn medicine and health supplements. She had carefully chosen them for her.She was well aware of the problems a mother would face after giving birth since she had given birth to two children before herself. She knew how to avoid the troubles. She didn't expect that things would turn out like this.Krista recounted the entire situation to Savanna. Savanna could hardly breathe as she listened.Tears eventually fell from Krista's eyes. "I am doing my best to care for her. I'd never harm her.""I know, I know. The problem is that she has no idea about it. Besides, back then, we had …" Savanna immediately paused when she mentioned the past.Krista had been looking troubled. Her face grew even paler when Savanna brought it up. She recalled what she had tried to do back then."You're right. Didn't I want to take her
Krista sneered as she contemplated the Winchesters, believing they had overlooked the lesson she had imparted to Susan.She remembered that Travis had turned against the Winchesters back then as his relationship with the family had fallen apart. She couldn't believe that he was behaving differently now.Closing her eyes with a dangerous air, she remarked, "You're right. None of these men can be trusted at all."Despite briefly trusting Chris, Krista concluded, after Savanna's revelations, that she couldn't trust him either. She deemed trusting herself wiser, recognizing that marriages in affluent families often stemmed from strategic alliances.Savanna nodded. "For now, we need to address the situation with the Winchesters. Susan Winchester might cause Kathryn trouble.""I should have killed her right away last time," Krista sneered, her tone carrying a dangerous undertone.Savanna remained silent, her eyes flashing with an unprecedented determination. Temporarily setting aside K
