Chapter 841



Kallie nodded, understanding.

Children Jeanette’s age often guarded their pride jealously.

With a soft smile, Kallie replied, ‘Okay, lead the way.’

Taking Kallie’s hand, Jeanette swerved her way.

Her first steps were reluctant, her feet dragging.

However, with each step, her determination grew.

Eventually they reached a secluded hut in the garden.

To Kallie’s surprise, all the supplies needed to treat the wounds were already there, eliminating the need to search for a staff member.

Kallie made Jeanette sit up, gently lifted the sleeve of her shirt, and a faint concern crossed her face.

‘You’re very young, but it’s about time you learned some self-defence skills.

Maybe you could talk it over with your sister.

I just enrolled my three children in self-defence classes.

If you’re interested and you’re not too busy with school, you can join them.

Don’t worry about the cost.’

Jeanette looked at Kallie with a hard-to-read expression.

‘Why are you being so nice to me, are you planning to trick me and take me away from home?’

Her question came out of nowhere.

Kallie burst out laughing, assuming it was a playful joke.

He replied with a touch of humour, ‘Sure, I’m planning to take you away.

Any favourite destinations?’

Jeanette bit her lip and let out a nervous laugh.

Kallie shrugged and went to get some gauze for Jeanette’s wound.

As she turned from the cabinet, Kallie noticed Jeanette awkwardly trying to pour some water.

Jeanette held out the glass to Kallie and commented, ‘You’ve done so much for me.

Please have some water.’

Admiring Jeanette’s thoughtful nature, Kallie smiled and drank the water in one smooth, quick gulp.

At that moment, someone rushed up to Clayton with an expression of urgency.

They quickly informed him that Kallie and Freya were on the verge of a confrontation and urged him to intervene immediately.

Clayton was typically a cautious man, but anything to do with Kallie had the capacity to make him abandon all caution.

His heart pounded with urgency as he said, ‘Then get me there quickly.’

Clayton hurriedly followed the guide to the cabin, and hearing Kallie’s voice inside, he did not hesitate to open the door.

The moment he did so, Kallie came stumbling out, her clothes in disarray.

Her cheeks were flushed, and her complexion alarmingly red.

When Clayton saw the state Kallie was in, he understood the gravity of the situation.

Shocked and furious, he wondered how such a thing could have happened, especially considering Kallie’s constant alertness.

This kind of betrayal could only come from someone she trusted completely.

But who could it be? The thought of the boy she had encountered earlier crossed her mind.

But no, that seemed too far-fetched an idea.
