Kelly gently patted Faye’s head and guided her inside. “If you stay out too long, your parents will start to worry,
Faye stayed quiet, sitting still on the sofa.
It had been more than two years since they had last met. Now almost eight years old, Faye seemed far older than her age.
Kelly couldn’t be sure of what she had gone through in those years, but it was clear that the young girl appeared worn out.
After a long pause, Faye spoke softly, “Even if I die, they won’t care about me.
Kelly was shocked but didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, she brought Faye some milk and a small slice of bread.
“They already have a little brother now, so they don’t need me anymore,” Faye whispered, tears falling as she chewed on the bread.
Kelly sat across from her, unsure of how to respond.
Faye now wore a pair of professional hearing aids. But back when Kelly left, her left ear could still pick up some sounds. With proper care, she should have been able to live a normal life.
Noticing Kelly’s confusion, Faye touched her ear. “Someone hit me. I can’t hear anything anymore.”
Kelly was taken aback by how calmly the seven–year–old spoke about such a painful experience.
“Did Stan and your grandma do this to you?” Kelly asked, her brow furrowing with concern.
Faye shook her head, offering no explanation.
It seemed like it wasn’t her family who did it.
From the bedroom, Jasper, hearing the commotion, toddled out with his bare little feet, giggling cheerfully.
He resembled a tiny sun, charming and lovable, always managing to capture the attention and affection of everyone around him.
However, when Faye first laid eyes on Jasper, her response was one of fear.
She quickly stood up, anxiously clutching her clothing, setting down the small piece of bread, and turning to Kelly. “He…”
“He’s my son. Mine and Zev’s son,” Kelly clarified, glancing at Jasper. “Jasper, say hi to Faye.”
Jasper, fond of children, joyfully walked toward Faye.
But Faye took several steps back and hurried away, her eyes filled with tears.
At that moment, she may have felt as though the entire world had turned its back on her.

And now, Kelly had a son as well.
No one would care about her anymore.
“Faye?” Kelly pursued her.
But she ran too fast.

Kelly reached the window in the hallway and saw that Faye had already made it downstairs, urgently running outside.
“Faye!” Kelly called several times, but Faye didn’t stop and continued running.
Kelly sighed, turning back into the house.
Jasper stood by the sofa, looking puzzled, likely not understanding why Faye had run away from him.
“Kelly …”
Just as Kelly was about to close the door, Melody’s voice called out.
She was holding a little girl who seemed around the same age as Jasper.
The little girl had her hair tied up in a cute ponytail.
Kelly could hear the shakiness in Melody’s voice, and it made her own eyes fill with tears.
Melody set her daughter down and, her voice trembling with a mix of reproach and sorrow, said, “Kelly!”
Kelly gave her a small smile. “Melody, I’m back … ”
Melody moved closer and embraced Kelly, crying. “Where have you been all these years? Did you join the peacekeeping force? You never told me or Darren!”
Melody cried as she asked Kelly questions, but it was all driven by the love and happiness of being reunited with family.
Kelly felt numb and rigid in her body.
When she returned from Solmaris that year, Kelly had expected that her parents would cry, ask questions, and scold her just like this.
But when she came back that year, she was a completely different person.
“Kelly!” Darren rushed up the stairs, breathless, calling out Kelly’s name.
Standing in the hallway, he couldn’t stop the tears from falling.
He had grown up so much yet he sobbed as he approached. “Kelly, where did you go? We pr together forever. Why did you leave us?”
Kelly cried as she embraced Melody and Darren.

Chapter 238 Kelly Has a Family Now
Kelly cried but then managed to smile.
After five years in Solmaris, when she returned, her world fell apart. She no longer had a family.
But now, she has a family.
A husband, a son, Darren, and Melody.
“You can’t do this again!” Darren still seemed worried and uneasy.
Finished
Melody’s daughter appeared a little puzzled as she watched Melody and the others, pointing for a while before noticing something similar about Jasper.
Excited, she walked over and asked, “What’s your name?”
Jasper looked at the girl, who was the same age as her, and clapped with joy. “Jasper.”
“I’m Jane…”
Kelly called for Darren and Melody to come inside, wiping her tears away with a smile. “Melody, is this your daughter?”
Melody also smiled as she wiped her eyes. “Yes, her name is Jane.”
Kelly walked over and crouched down in front of Jane. “Hello, little Jane, I’m your godmother.“,
Melody sighed and smiled. “You’re so bold…”
Kelly gently tousled Jasper’s hair. “This is my son.”
Melody and Darren exchanged a brief look before quickly heading over to see Jasper.
Melody quietly whispered, “Kelly … is this child Zev’s?”
Kelly nodded.
Melody appeared concerned. “You know… there are rumors online saying this child is from the time you were kidnapped in Oasisvale–that he isn’t from the Lockharts. Mr. Wade was just interviewed at the hospital, and he said he won’t allow an outsider to inherit the family’s fortune.”
