Chapter 708 He’s Only Three
“Helen, are you alright?” Natasha pulled herself together, her face showing genuine
concern.
Helen sighed. “I thought I was ready for this, but seeing Keith so tiny, having to go through all this pain, and knowing he’ll have to live with it for years… I just can’t help it.”
Her voice broke again. “He’s just a little kid… Emely’s only child. How could Miya be so heartless…”
Natasha quickly handed her a tissue. “Helen, please don’t give up. Medicine’s getting better every day. Keith will definitely get the help he needs.”
Helen grabbed her hand, her eyes full of hope. “Natasha, could you take a look at him? Is there any chance he could recover? He’s only three. His life’s just getting started. He can’t spend his whole life in a wheelchair.”
Natasha nodded quickly. “Of course, I’ll check him out. But you need to take care of yourself too.”
Helen wiped away her tears and glanced toward the living room. When she saw Keith sitting in Darion’s arms, his eyes sparkling as he gazed at Thalia, a complicated expression flickered across her face.
Back then, because of Miya, Thalia was pretty cold and distant toward Keith. But maybe seeing how pitiful the kid was, even her tough heart couldn’t help but soften.
She no longer pushed Keith away; she was okay with him being close now.
Helen pulled herself together and went back.
“Why don’t we have Natasha check on Keith?” she said, turning to Darion.
“Sorry to trouble you, Dr. Riley,” Darion said, his voice calm as he looked at Natasha.
Natasha replied, “It’s no trouble. If I can treat him, just keep sending the payments. If I can’t help, then there’s nothing I can do.”
She made sure to set the expectations low so they wouldn’t get their hopes up too high.
After all, Keith had been poisoned for a long time. She didn’t know how much damage the toxins had done to his nerves, but it was definitely going to be tough.
Helen sat down next to Keith and said, “Keith, this is Natasha. She’s the doctor who helped your Darry with his eyes. How about letting her check your legs, okay?”
Keith looked at Natasha, a little confused and shy. “Hello, Natasha.” Natasha smiled and said, “Hey thereoflike your uncle.”
Helen added, “Darion and Emely really look alike, and Keith looks just like his dad.”

Keith looked confused and asked, “What’s a dad? Do I have a dad?”
“Of course.”
Helen didn’t shy away from the question. “Your dad is a really, really good man. When you’re older, Grandma will take you to see him.”
But Keith kept asking, “Then why hasn’t my dad ever come to see me?”
