30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 232

Estrella relaxed her grip and whispered, “You must have read a few books, I reckon. You know your little one isn’t in the best of health, right?”

Her words struck a chord, and the girl, clasping her child, suddenly burst into tears.

Estrella quickly handed over a tissue, saying, “Your baby’s still young. Timely medical care and an improved living situation could turn things around. But if things stay as they are, I’m afraid the outlook isn’t too rosy.”

As Estrella spoke, the girl began to sob audibly. “They told me to keep quiet, said it’s normal for kids around here, that they’re all like this.”

The girl’s confession tugged painfully at Estrella’s heart. Indeed, Education is the key to lifting folks out of poverty.

“You need to stand up for yourselves if you want to change your situation,” Estrella consoled her. “If you don’t even dare to acknowledge the problem, who’s going to solve it?”

The girl looked up, her eyes brimming with a mix of hope and desperation. “If I tell you, can you help us? Can you make life better for my baby?”

Estrella replied with resolve, “I’ll do everything in my power.”

Reassured by Estrella’s determination, the girl carefully placed her child on the ground, then turned and went inside her house. She came back with a medical file and some test results, handing them to Estrella. “We went to the hospital. The doctor said my child’s been poisoned, which is why he’s not developing properly. His head’s too large, he’s unsteady on his feet, and his bones are brittle from severe calcium deficiency. They sal he’s not absorbing nutrients and might even become deformed.”

Estrella listened intently, her expression growing darker as she realized the child’s symptoms were the same as Alex’s, who was also suffering from fluoride poisoning.
