Chapter 822: Chapter 822

But I was too late.

As soon as I finished speaking, the branch she was standing on suddenly broke under her weight.

Elena screamed, and her little body plummeted to the ground.

My heart leaped to my throat and my mind went completely blank.

The only thing I could see was my daughter’s little figure falling mid- air.

“Elena!”

I ran desperately to catch her, but I was too far and too slow.

I wasn’t going to make it.

Just before Elena hit the ground, a pair of strong arms suddenly shot out from beside me and caught my daughter.

I looked sideways and was stunned to see the man next to us.

Wasn’t he supposed to be with Dylan at the hospital? What was he doing here?

I was shocked to see him here, holding my daughter.

“Wow! That was amazing!”

Elena giggled.

She had no idea how much danger she was in just now and even clapped her hands excitedly.

I immediately flew into a fit of rage and shouted, “Oh, really? Did you have fun, huh?”

Sensing that I was angry at her, Elena stopped smiling and looked at me warily.

“Mommy…”

But I wasn’t done scolding her.

“Elena, how could you do such a dangerous thing? If we hadn’t caught you in time, you would’ve been disabled for life! Maybe you would’ve even died!”

Elena pursed her trembling lips and her eyes welled up with tears.

“How dare you talk back-“

“Okay, okay.

” Realizing that the situation was quickly getting out of hand, Caleb held up his hand and hurried to ease the atmosphere.

To Elena, he said in a soft voice, “Elena, don’t climb up so high next time.

You could’ve gotten hurt.

You’re your mommy’s precious baby, and she’s just worried about you.

That’s why she scolded you just now, so that you’ll remember to be more careful next time.

Do you understand?”

Elena murmured in a low voice, “Okay.

I see.

”

Despite still being a little afraid of me, she approached me and reached out to grab the hem of my shirt.

“Sorry, Mommy.

I won’t do it again.

Please don’t be mad at me.

”

My heart softened and I didn’t have the energy to scold her anymore.
