Crises in Love novel Chapter 259

I nodded, a heavy weight pressing down on my chest, making it hard to breathe. "The kid's had it rough," I said.

"Indeed, he's just a child!" Gevena also showed sympathy.

"The kid is cute. He has tender skin and big, sparkling eyes. I remember holding his small hand once when no one came to pick him up after school. He desperately clung to me, yet was cautious. He's a clever child. He looked up at me, his big eyes full of curiosity."

A vision of him standing alone outside the school gate flickered in front of my eyes, a sudden pang tugging at my heart.

"I'm telling you, Gevena, I have this strange feeling that the kid would think of me when he's scared," I confessed.

"You're overthinking, Aaliyah!" Gevena shot me a glance. "You've only met him a few times!"

"Maybe so, but I feel a connection. I can sense him crying out for me to rescue him," I said. "He's in a dark corner somewhere, shivering, waiting for me to hold his hand and bring him back!" As I spoke, tears welled up in my eyes.

Gevena looked at me thoughtfully and warned me, "Think this through, Aaliyah."

I remained silent.

Seeing that I was not responding, Gevena continued, "This is a point of no return. If you want to help, that's fine. But think about the aftermath. This is not something you can solve impulsively. There will be a lot of complications."

Looking at the bustling crowd in the grand hall, laughter echoing around, I felt an inexplicable irritation.

"But I want to do this, and if we delay, it will be too late!" I said, my voice rising instinctively.

Gevena patted me gently, "That's why I'm telling you to think it through. Let's not even talk about who the father is. Just the fact that he's Marissa’s child brings a lot of issues. Can you handle that?” She asked me.

I hadn't realized that Gevena was such a rational person! I smiled at her, "I haven't thought that far. My priority is to find the kid and ensure his safety."

I grew more excited, "Even if he's Marissa's child, he has the right to live, right? As for the rest, let's leave it to fate. We should do what we can, and leave the rest up to God."
