Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 997

"Alright!"

Once Ms. Simmons left, Charlie asked, "What's up?"

Estelle replied, "No biggie, Kya's mom might have something going on, that's why she couldn't get in touch."

Charlie, a bit curious, asked, "Is Kya's mom a friend you made recently?"

Estelle paused for a moment, then nodded, "Yeah."

"What about her dad?"

"They split up."

Charlie frowned, then said softly, "So, Kya's mom's solo parenting gig must be pretty tough."

Estelle looked at Kya, who was slightly dazed from the fever in her arms, but said nothing.

Charlie said, "I can hold her for a bit."

Estelle hesitated for a moment, then handed Kya over to Charlie. Kya didn't resist Charlie at all, snuggling trustingly into his arms.

Looking at the cute and soft baby in his arms, something tugged at Charlie's heartstrings, stirring an indescribable emotion.

Soon, Ms. Simmons returned, carrying fever medication prescribed by the doctor. She fed it to Kya according to the doctor's instructions.

Kya was well-behaved, quietly taking her medicine and then snuggling back into Charlie's arms, making anyone who saw her feel even more sorry for her.

Ms. Simmons knew Charlie was a friend of Estelle's, but didn't want to trouble him too much, so she stepped forward and said, "Don't bother the mister any more, I can hold her."

Charlie instinctively stepped back, reluctant to hand Kya to Ms. Simmons. He realized his action might be a bit sudden, so he quickly said with a smile, "No worries, Kya is so light, and she won't tire anyone out. She's asleep now. Don't disturb her."
