Chapter 621:

Sophie’s frantic voice echoed in Kallie’s ears, muffled by the agony.

When Kallie came to her senses, she found herself in a hospital bed. The first thing she saw was Sophie’s face, streaked with tears, flushed with worry.

Next to Sophie, Calvin looked just as distraught, his eyes swollen from crying. Despite it, he stayed strong, soothing Sophie with a gentle pat on her back while handing her tissues.

As Kallie stirred, Sophie’s tears stopped, her gaze a mix of relief and unspoken blame.

“Mommy, I’ve told you, you need to take care of yourself. Do you even realize how scared I was?” Sophie’s voice trembled with a mix of frustration and concern.

Kallie felt a wave of guilt wash over her. She had known for a while that her body wasn’t right, but her days had been so hectic that there was no room to slow down.

Plus, whenever she tried to rest, her mind would spiral back to Jake and Chloe. Their uncertain fate gnawed at her, filling her with dread.

Kallie was painfully aware that her mental state was unraveling, yet the thought of seeing a doctor terrified her. There were just too many responsibilities. If something happened to her, who would be there for her children?

Sophie seemed to catch the worry in Kallie’s eyes and gently adjusted her blanket. “Mommy, the thing I fear most is seeing you like this.

If you don’t look after yourself, how can you find my dad and Chloe?” Sophie paused, her voice cracking as she continued, “Don’t worry about us. I’ll take care of Calvin, and you can put the company aside for now. All I want is for you to get better.”

Calvin joined them, taking Kallie’s hand. “Mommy, you scared us so much. Sophie stayed with you all night, and I… I’ve been really sad too. Please, just listen to the doctor and rest.”

The weight of their words pressed down on Kallie. She had been so consumed by her own struggles that she hadn’t realized how deeply her children were worrying about her.

Kallie sighed, finally nodding. “Alright, I’ll rest for a while,” she said softly.

Sophie’s face lit up with relief, her smile returning for the first time in days.

Not long after, the doctor arrived to assess Kallie’s condition.

The diagnosis was clear: overwork, poor nutrition, and an aggravated stomach. The prescription was simple: rest, relaxation, and time to recover.

Tentatively, Kallie brought up her emotional struggles. Taking Kallie’s concerns seriously, the doctor arranged for a psychologist to evaluate her.

The verdict was difficult to hear. The psychologist explained that Kallie needed to embrace the possibility that Jake and Chloe might never come back.

It was a harsh truth, one she had been avoiding, but it was time to confront it. Her mental health hinged on accepting this uncertainty, though the hope of their return still lingered.noveldrama

No one could say when or if Jake and Chloe would return. That night, Kallie lay awake, her thoughts tangled in the darkness.

She came to a quiet realization that the most important thing now was to live fully in the present. If she continued the way she had been, it would only cause more worry for the people around her.

After a week of rest in the hospital, Kallie decided to take her children on a much-needed vacation.
