Chapter 728 Mr. Harrison Is at a Loss
After listening to Stefan's words, Martha nodded in agreement. "Makes sense, after all I've beeneating Bianca's cooking for over a decade."
Maybe when she went back, her body would also improve a bit. She had just finished recoveringfrom her stay in the hospital and was about to leave when suddenly she started experiencingmorning sickness.
It was constant throughout the day and even made it difficult for her to sleep at night.
These past few days had left dark circles under her eyes and it felt like all the weight she hadgained during those first ten days of recovery were lost again.
Stefan nodded in agreement, feeling more confident about his decision.
Martha sat in the backseat of the car, watching as everything around them passed by. Her eyesgrew heavy with fatigue until they stopped at a red light intersection.
As she glanced out of the window, she saw a little girl standing on the side of the road cryinguncontrollably while sporting two braided pigtails on either side of her head.
Her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she pointed towards where the little girl stood. "Did that little girlget lost?"
Following where Martha pointed, Stefan noticed how dirty and disheveled-looking this little girl was.
He suddenly thought about their unborn daughter inside Martha's belly, causing him to soften histone slightly before answering, "I think so."
There were many passersby rushing past without giving much attention or care towards this littlechild who seemed lost and alone.
Martha's heart softened at seeing this scene unfold before them as several people walked bywithout stopping to help this poor child out.
She looked towards Stefan with concern written across her face. "Stefan, find somewhere safe topark, so we can go help that little girl."
"Okay," Stefan replied gently while glancing up ahead at their driver. "Find somewhere safe for us topark; we need to get out."
"Yes, sir," the driver respectfully responded, and after passing this intersection, found a place tostop the car where he could.
As soon as the car was parked safely nearby, Martha quickly opened up one door, then got out.
Stefan followed behind her, reached over to grab hold of his wife's hand and said reassuringly,"Don't worry. We're coming now."
Martha hadn't slept well these past few days and her spirits had been low as a result. He was reallyafraid that she would become too emotional and something would happen.
But luckily, Martha was feeling fine.
As they approached the little girl, Martha's attention was completely focused on her.
"Don't cry, little one," Martha said as she quickly pulled out a tissue from her bag and handed it tothe girl.
The little girl looked at the beautiful woman in front of her with curiosity. She timidly took the tissuefrom Martha's hand and said, "You look like a fairy."
Martha couldn't help but smile at the compliment.
She crouched down to be eye level with her and replied, "Thank you so much! You're very prettytoo."novelbin
The little girl had chubby cheeks and big bright eyes that were now red from crying. Even thoughshe was dirty from tears streaming down her face, it was clear that she was still very cute withcherry lips and delicate eyebrows.
Even Stefan couldn't help but feel his heart soften when he saw this little girl.
He believed his own daughter would be pretty as well.
He made up his mind then that if any boy ever made his future daughter cry, he wouldn't let them offeasily.
Martha continued to wipe away tears from the little girl's face .
Soon, a clean face was showed before her. She couldn't resist pinching those chubby cheeks againwhile saying softly to herself, "Little girl, you're so pretty. You're going to grow up into a beautifullady."
Hearing these words caused this poor lost child to cry out again, "My mommy used to say that too...but I can't find my mommy anymore."
The little girl's eyes were red rimmed again, and big tears fell from her big eyes.
Martha saw her pitiful appearance, reaching out to wipe her tears, while softly coaxing, "Do not cry.Do not cry, I'll take you to find your mommy, okay?"
The little girl slowly stopped crying but still looked at Martha with uncontrollable sobs.
"But... but I don't know where my mommy is. And you don't know my mommy either. How can wefind her?"
As she spoke, the little girl suddenly realized that she would never see her mother again and startedcrying even harder.
Martha patiently rubbed the little girl's messy hair and asked gently, "Can you tell me your name?"
"I'm Anna Miller." The little girl replied through sobs with red eyes that made her look especiallypitiful.
Seeing Anna in such a state softened Stefan's heart as he took a step forward and unconsciouslyspoke in a gentler tone, "Do you remember your daddy or mommy's phone number?"
Anna shook her head sadly with tears streaming down her face. "I don't remember anymore. I can'tsee my daddy or mommy anymore. I'll never see them again."
At this point, Anna couldn't hold back any longer and began crying loudly once more.
Stefan was taken aback by this sudden outburst of emotion from the young child.
He had only asked one simple question out of concern, but it seemed to have triggered anotherwave of intense sadness within the poor child.
He had not come into contact with other children besides Jimmy, so when he encountered Annabawling, he was at a lost for what to do.
