Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 728

Chapter 728 Mr. Harrison Is at a Loss

After listening to Stefan's words, Martha nodded in agreement. "Makes sense, after all I've been eating Bianca's cooking for over a decade."

Maybe when she went back, her body would also improve a bit. She had just finished recovering from her stay in the hospital and was about to leave when suddenly she started experiencing morning 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 had gained 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 eyes grew 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 crying uncontrollably 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 girl get 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 his tone slightly before answering, "I think so."

There were many passersby rushing past without giving much attention or care towards this little child who seemed lost and alone.

Martha's heart softened at seeing this scene unfold before them as several people walked by without stopping to help this poor child out.

She looked towards Stefan with concern written across her face. "Stefan, find somewhere safe to park, so we can go help that little girl."

"Okay," Stefan replied gently while glancing up ahead at their driver. "Find somewhere safe for us to park; we need to get out."

"Yes, sir," the driver respectfully responded, and after passing this intersection, found a place to stop 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 really afraid 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 to the girl.

The little girl looked at the beautiful woman in front of her with curiosity. She timidly took the tissue from Martha's hand and said, "You look like a fairy."

"But... but I don't know where my mommy is. And you don't know my mommy either. How can we find her?"

As she spoke, the little girl suddenly realized that she would never see her mother again and started crying 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 especially pitiful.

Seeing Anna in such a state softened Stefan's heart as he took a step forward and unconsciously spoke 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't see 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 another wave of intense sadness within the poor child.

He had not come into contact with other children besides Jimmy, so when he encountered Anna bawling, he was at a lost for what to do.
