Chapter 700:

Cara’s wild screams echoed down the hall as she was dragged away.

Jake readied himself to leave with Calvin and Elma. Considering the urgency of the situation, the two children needed to be rushed to the hospital fast.

But Clayton halted Jake. “I’ll take the kids to the hospital. You stay and watch over Cara. If she escapes, there’s no telling what chaos she’ll unleash. Moreover…”

Clayton’s gaze shifted to Calvin, and with a meaningful look, he added, “Calvin’s Kallie’s son. It wouldn’t be right for you to take him away.”

Jake felt trapped by Clayton’s reasoning, unable to find the words to protest. Yet, he was concerned about Calvin and Elma. After a moment of hesitation, he finally entrusted the children to Clayton.

With a heavy heart, Jake said quietly, “Make sure they’re safe. They’re just kids. They shouldn’t be caught up in all of this.”

“I understand,” Clayton replied earnestly. “One is my niece and the other is Kallie’s child. I’ll protect them, no matter what. You have my word.”

Jake’s jaw clenched as bitterness flickered in his eyes, but he had no choice but to trust Clayton’s promise.

Meanwhile, at the gate, Kallie was being held back by the bodyguards.

When Clayton drove out, the bodyguards quickly stepped aside. Clayton rolled down the window, urgency lacing his voice. “Kallie, get in.”

From where she stood, Kallie caught a glimpse of the children in the backseat, and her heart nearly stopped. She clenched her fists, struggling to calm herself.

Kallie got into the car and joined Clayton to take the children to the hospital, where the children’s injuries were quickly assessed. Most of the damage was superficial, but Elma’s condition was worse. She had been beaten so badly that she was bleeding. When the doctor said Elma needed an O-type blood transfusion, Kallie didn’t hesitate to volunteer. “My blood group is O-type,” she said firmly.

To her surprise, Clayton immediately objected. “No!”

Confused, Kallie stared at him. “Why not? We can’t worry about anything else right now. Her life is at stake.”

Clayton’s gaze flickered, evasive. “You know how Cara is. If she learns about this, Elma will face even worse when she returns.”

Fury surged through Kallie. She pointed at Elma, battered and bruised. “Elma’s Cara’s mother. How can Cara be so heartless? Even though Elma is adopted, this is beyond cruelty. Clayton, I usually avoid family issues, but the way your family treats Elma is too much.”

Clayton pressed his lips together, his expression conflicted, but his resolve remained firm. “You can’t give her blood. There’s more at play here than you realize. I have my reasons. Please, trust me.”

Clayton was Elma’s uncle. With his insistence, Kallie had no choice but to back down. She frowned and asked, “Then how should she get suitable blood?”

“I’ll handle it,” Clayton said, not daring to meet Kallie’s gaze. “Elma is my niece. I won’t let anything happen to her.”

With no other options, Kallie reluctantly let it go. She turned away, focusing on Calvin’s condition instead.
