We need to do everything to save her. If we can't save the baby, so be it. I'll handle the consequences." The doctor nodded in understanding. Luckily, Kallie hadn't ingested much of the poisonous substance and had received a timely gastric lavage. Both she and the baby were safe.

Overwhelmed with concern, Kallie's first coherent thought led her to ask, "Where is Sophie?" Her anxiety was so intense that she attempted to throw off her covers and leave the bed in search of Sophie. Edgar rushed to reassure her. "There's no need to worry, Miss Nixon. Your daughter is just fine, actually better than fine. She's awake now, full of energy, and the doctor even suggested she have sporridge." At his words, Kallie let out a sigh of relief.
