Chapter 1124:
Other fragments of memories surfaced, each capturing moments shared between Jake and Lacey, deepening Kallie’s sense of sorrow.
Tons of questions popped into Kallie’s mind. How had she managed to let such vital memories slip away? What motives did Jake now harbor? Had his feelings for her truly faded? Why then did he keep her close?
Turmoil churned within Kallie’s thoughts. She hastily retrieved her phone to contact Calvin, opting against calling Sophie, recalling her frequent stays at the Reeves family.
Concerned that Jake might monitor her communication with Sophie, Kallie deemed it safer to reach out to Calvin.
Calvin picked up promptly, his voice laden with hope, mistakenly assuming Kallie’s call pertained to Elma’s health. He quickly inquired, “Mom, is there any progress with Elma’s treatment?” Kallie’s heart twinged with bitter sadness upon hearing his worry for Elma. In a hushed tone, she admitted, “No, and it seems increasingly likely that our journey here seeking medical help was futile. I’m so sorry, Calvin. I’ve failed in my duties, exposing you to danger.”
Her words caught Calvin off guard, rendering him nearly speechless.
Kallie’s gloom was palpable, coloring her silence with shades of deep sadness and clear disappointment. Calvin picked up on it immediately, his concern sharpening his voice into a fierce, protective tone.
“Mom, has that man been harassing you? Tell me what he’s done. There’s no need to fear. Just let me know, and I’ll bring the help you need.”
Kallie, however, had not intended for Calvin to become entangled.
In her troubles, she replied hastily, her words quick and urgent.
“No, please don’t come. Right now, it’s critical we alert Sophie and urge her to make her way back to the safety of the Nixon family villa alongside you. It’s far too risky to remain at the Reeves family residence.”

Calvin’s loyalty to Kallie was unwavering, yet her sudden evasive maneuvers sparked a flicker of suspicion within him. He reluctantly agreed to her wishes but couldn’t suppress his growing unease. His voice softened, laced with worry.
“Mom, if you want to ease my concerns, you owe me an explanation. What’s been happening with you and Jake? Or have you uncovered some troubling secrets? I might be young, but I am your son, the one who shares your blood. If not me, then who do you trust?”
His words, earnest and filled with a child’s plea for openness, caused Kallie’s resolve to falter. It wasn’t a lack of trust that silenced her. Rather, it was her desire to keep him safe from the storm.
However, recognizing Calvin’s insight and maturity, Kallie knew keeping secrets was pointless—he would uncover the truth himself. With a resigned sigh, she decided transparency was the only path forward. Gathering her courage, she breathed deeply and laid bare the troubling thoughts that had haunted her.noveldrama
Calvin’s initial response was fury upon learning that Jake’s intentions toward Elma were nothing more than a façade designed to get rid of her. Though it seemed outlandish, Calvin couldn’t dismiss the suspicions as completely unfounded.
Yet, when Kallie brought up the possibility of Jake and Lacey colluding and having been involved ages ago, something didn’t sit right with Calvin. Previously, Calvin had entertained similar thoughts, but his perspective had shifted recently.
