She wanted to make up some excuse, especially when so many things happened to her in such a short time. There was also the fact that Madam Woods had just recovered from her illness. Madam Woods would be worried sick if she were to know about Tina’s wounds.
Yet the voice that came through the phone was calm yet deep, a familiar masculine tone. “I’ll come to lend a hand today, Tina.”
“What?” It took Tina a while to register what had been said. She didn’t expect to hear from John.
“You’re living near the hospital, right? I’ll be there in ten minutes. We can go together.” John ended the call right after he finished, not leaving Tina any room to speak.
That further confused Tina. ‘He’ll be here in ten minutes?’ She rushed back to her unit quickly to take care of her wounds, and made sure to put on thick gloves to cover them. Not long later, a luxurious car appeared at her shabby apartment. The unusual sight attracted the attention of many within sight. Tina got into the car hurriedly and urged John, “Let’s go.” John, who was sitting at the back, gave out a shocked gasp at how Tina was dressed. “Tina, what are you…?” “It’s intentional. There’ll be a lot of organizing and cleaning later, so I’m wearing something comfy and easy to work with.”
John had never been to an orphanage, so what Tina said made sense to him. When they arrived at the orphanage, Tina was shocked to see how crowded it was. “Where did these people come from?” she asked in confusion, knowing quite well that the orphanage couldn’t afford to hire so many people. “I figured that the burden would be too heavy on Madam Woods, so I did some advertising nearby and got quite a few volunteers,” John explained.
It would be a lie if Tina said she wasn’t touched, especially when she saw how much John cared about the orphanage.
“Thanks to you, I’m pretty sure things will be easier for Madam Woods now.” “If it weren’t for you, the orphanage wouldn’t even have the chance to be rebuilt,” John said, chuckling as he stroked Tina’s hair. “Let’s go help them.”
“Sure.”
With the volunteers there, there wasn’t much for Tina to do. In the end, she was asked to do some organizing in the storage room.
“These are all the pictures of the kids here. I think you’re the only person I can rely on to take
care of them,” Sylvia said, as she walked down her memory lane. “Who knows, you might even find pictures of your childhood!”
“Really?” Tina’s eyes lit up with excitement. As predicted, she soon found an album from ten years ago
The album was old, and all the pictures inside were dusty. However, she managed to find one picture with her name on it.
The picture showed a little girl hiding behind an adult. Her face couldn’t be seen.
Yet, Tina immediately knew that the little girl was her. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
She also noticed a blue crystal shell necklace around her neck. It was so pretty, it sparked her curiosity.
‘Did I have a pretty necklace like this?’ She also noticed that this picture was taken on the day she was adopted by the Lynd family. Chances are, that necklace was stolen by Pearl, that bully! Thinking back, she had endured all their abuse for almost a decade. Finally, she managed to cut ties with the Lynd family. Of course, it would be possible only if Pearl would stop bothering her! Tina gathered her thoughts,
and continued organizing the pictures all the way until evening She then received a call from her boss to deliver a food order. But when she reached the shop, she found Pearl standing there instead of her boss. Pearl was still caught up with the thought that she couldn’t get what she wanted from Tina. Fueled with a desire for vengeance, she stormed Tina’s workplace.
