Chapter 623:
The girl’s face twisted, and her eyes filled with tears, her small frame trembling as she seemed on the verge of crying. She was an adorable child with delicate, pretty features, her vulnerability tugging at the hearts of those around her.
As Kallie looked closer, an unsettling feeling crept over her. There was something strangely familiar about the girl. Her face held an uncanny resemblance to the Chloe Kallie had always imagined.
It was more than just a passing resemblance. The girl’s features seemed to be a blend of both Kallie and Jake, and she could be their child. Still, Kallie restrained herself from rushing forward with questions.
The girl was much younger than Chloe would have been, appearing to be no more than three years old. Chloe and Calvin were twins, both much older. Even though Chloe and Calvin had been born prematurely, there shouldn’t have been such a large age difference.
Kallie’s thoughts raced, trying to make sense of the situation.noveldrama
Suddenly, the girl jumped off the stretcher, evading the paramedics as they tried to hold her back.
To everyone’s shock, the girl ran straight toward Sophie, hitting and kicking Sophie while spouting curses. It was hard to believe such anger could come from someone so young.
The sight of it was jarring, and Kallie couldn’t bear it any longer. She quickly stepped in front of Sophie, shielding her from the girl’s blows, and grabbed the girl by the collar, her expression icy.
Kallie put on a long face, her voice firm but steady. “Hey, it’s not okay to hit people. Where are your parents? If something’s wrong, we can talk it through, but hurting people isn’t the way to solve it.”
The girl’s boldness faded, and she recoiled slightly, her arrogance slipping under Kallie’s piercing gaze. Still, she let out a stubborn huff and clung to her claim. “Why shouldn’t I hit her? She pushed me into the water. I almost drowned… I thought I was going to die!”
At that instant, Calvin took a step forward. Despite only being five years old, he exuded a maturity that made him seem like an adult when he became serious.
Calvin’s voice turned icy. “You’re lying. Sophie didn’t push you. I recorded her playing in the water and have got the video to prove it. If you persist in falsely accusing her, I’ll call the police immediately and let them decide who’s telling the truth.”
Upon hearing Calvin’s threat of calling the police, the girl wilted, her eyes immediately turning red as tears welled up. Her pitiful and cute appearance made it impossible for anyone to blame her.
But Kallie wouldn’t let the girl off the hook. After all, her precious daughter had been offended and bullied.
Onlookers began to murmur, some urging Kallie to let it go, reminding her that the girl was young and perhaps didn’t know any better.
But Kallie remained resolute, her voice firm as she addressed the girl, “Where are your parents? You need to get them here immediately.”
“I won’t,” the girl said, though her voice wavered, betraying her uncertainty. Her enchanting eyes flickered with a hint of guilt, betraying her facade of defiance. Kallie’s suspicion deepened. The girl must have snuck out unnoticed.
Kallie’s resolve to uncover the truth intensified. The girl, likely from a wealthy family, was alone without any guardians or bodyguards.
Right now, the girl had gotten into a dispute with her children, and everyone present had witnessed it. If anything happened to the girl on the way home, it could spell trouble for her children. After some insistence, the girl reluctantly provided a phone number.
