My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1419

I pursed my lips and nodded. Looking at Valerie, I said, "Mom, the operation may have to be postponed. She's too weak. I'm afraid that she might not be able to endure it. Even though we care about Anne very much, we can't just put other children's lives at risk. I bought a suite here in Asherton. You guys can stay here for the time being and I have also hired a good nanny to take care of you. Only when she has fully recovered will we reconsider the surgery. Secondly, I still have to find ways to get my hands on her identification papers. I still need to head to the village, so the surgery will have to be postponed regardless.”

Valerie was worried, "However, will this delay worsen Anne's condition?"

I was also worried, but I couldn't act impulsively or else I might make a mistake. Thus I replied, "Mom, we have to believe in Anne!"

This was the only way.

Valerie did not question me too much about it. She stared at me and said, "I know that you have a plan, but what about the kids? You must ensure that nothing will happen to Anne."

I nodded and smiled, "Mom, don't worry. Anne is my child. I won't let anything happen to her."

She nodded and glanced at my belly, "Your belly is getting bigger day after day, but you're still stressing yourself out like this. I've never seen a pregnant woman working as hard as you. Don't put too much stress on yourself, it's bad for both you and the baby."

I comforted her. It was normal for a parent to be worried about their own children. She had a lot of things that she wanted to talk to me about. After accompanying Valerie for quite some time, I brought Abby out of the hospital to have a meal together.

In addition, I wanted to buy some daily necessities. My parents didn't have much time to go out. Since I was already out, I decided to help them buy some as well.

After a day's work, it was finally nightfall. Abby had been following me around the house ever since she woke up from her nap. I couldn't help but stare at her and asked, "Abby, is there something you want to tell me?"

She looked at me with a pair of puppy dog eyes, "Madam Reid, can you help me look for my sister? I have been in the city for quite some time now. She said that she would come and meet up with me after she escaped, but it has been so long and there's still no news of her."

I almost forgot about Susan. Looking at Abby, I was at a loss for words. After a moment of silence, I said, "Abby, your sister might not be coming to the city anymore. She's married."

"No! My sister said that she would never marry a fool, so she will try her best to escape. Madam Reid, will you help me look for my sister?"

Abby seemed to be very persistent. She stubbornly believed that Susan would eventually escape.

I didn't want to crush the child's confidence, so I nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Well, I will arrange for someone to look for her. I will bring her to you the moment we find her."

She nodded in approval, as if I had helped her accomplish a longstanding wish, "If that's the case, then I can sleep in peace knowing that Susan won't get lost in the city."

Seeing how sensible this child was, it made me feel sorry for her. I pulled her into an embrace and said to her, "Abby, we might need to head back to the village soon. I need to talk to your parents. Are you willing to come with me?"
