Chapter 577



Kallie abandoned her guise and stated plainly, “My outlook was bleak upon arrival. Survival seemed unlikely. Now, the situation has evolved. I can sense my child growing within. I wish for a prosperous future for my child. By cooperating more now, the prospects for both me and my unborn child should improve. After all, you’ve pledged to protect my child’s life.”

Griffin nodded and remarked, “You’re truthful.”

He then smiled warmly at Kallie, announcing, “I have uplifting news for you. Soon, you’ll discover the gender of the baby. Many attending physicians believe it’s likely a boy.”

Kallie managed a weak smile. For her, the baby’s gender was inconsequential.

That evening, alone in her room, Kallie reflected on recent hardships. Restlessness plagued her. Sleep eluded her entirely. Her pregnancy hormones left her emotionally delicate.

Daytime brought challenges with the Griffin family. At night, Kallie felt utterly exposed. Her thoughts drifted to Jake and Sophie. She pondered their current well-being. She wondered if Sophie struggled to sleep in her absence. After relocating, Kallie no longer encountered the mother-daughter servants she knew.

Griffin had mentioned their assignment to the garden, yet Kallie hadn’t seen them on the island thereafter. Their fate remained unknown to her.

Daily, Kallie lived under relentless stress. Sleep barely came at night.

Kallie caressed her swelling belly, whispering, “Baby, may you bring blessings to your sister and your father.” Suddenly, the door creaked open.

Kallie instantly tensed, alert to the intrusion. Who could it be?

The lights flickered on. A bodyguard entered, followed by a newcomer, both offering gentle smiles.

“Apologies for the late disturbance, Miss Nixon. Mr. Griffin Perry mentioned your baby is several months along. Nutritionists alone aren’t sufficient for your baby’s wellbeing. We’ve brought a specialized prenatal fitness coach who focuses on embryonic learning. He will lead you in exercises to promote a smooth delivery, ensuring the baby’s health and intelligence.”

Kallie’s expression showed a hint of concern. They seemed overly focused on the baby. She responded with a polite smile, “Really? Please convey my thanks to Griffin.”

The bodyguard nodded in satisfaction and introduced the man, stating, “You may refer to him as White.”

White gave Kallie a nod. His appearance was unremarkable, blending easily into any crowd.

White stepped forward and bowed to Kallie with respect.
