Every year, the kids from the orphanage would write a wish list for the New Year, and Sophia and Michael would prepare gifts for them. Later, when Sophia left, Michael still continued on with this tradition every year. Harry and Sarah would also help out a bit. Last year, even Joel had joined in.

The orphanage was located in the suburbs. It was not a particularly prosperous place, so they had a large area to themselves. It used to be a dilapidated place. After making money in these years, Nicole Walker, with the support of everyone, moved the orphanage to new buildings that had better facilities. There used to be only a few volunteers, but now that there was money to pay wages, there were more full-time staff.

Nicole relied on her influence and connections to find better homes for the orphans. Some people, attracted by the orphanage’s reputation, came to adopt children, while others would leave their children at its doorstep.

Sophia set off very early today. When she arrived at the entrance of the orphanage, there was no one nearby, but just as the car was being parked, she saw someone abandoning their child in the trash can at the entrance of the orphanage and running away.

It was the New Year, but her heart turned cold at this.

When everyone got out of the car, Michael hurried forward and picked up the child. The child was crying very loudly, but there was nothing wrong with it. The child was a girl. She was wearing a pair of thin socks, and her feet were red from the cold.

Cooper was furious too. To think someone would throw away such an adorable child! They were less than beasts!

Curses rang from the group at the doorway of the orphanage. They each picked up the child and had a good look, and unknowingly came to a common ground.

They carried the child into the orphanage, and she was taken away by a staff member there. Everyone was very upset to have something like this happen just when they arrived at the orphanage, but seeing the lively and lovely appearance of the children, everyone still felt a little comforted.

Nicole was usually busy with work and didn’t visit the orphanage often, but she had a few days off work during the New Year and had been staying at the orphanage. Since there were some distinguished guests coming today, Nicole had been waiting for their arrival.

 

Because it was a charity work, everyone wanted to take part in the work themselves. Michael wanted to play movies for the children and had brought all the needed equipment over. Several able-bodied men installed the equipment in a classroom. Sophia urged Cooper to go with him and work together, hoping that maybe it could improve their relationship. She thought of it as team building today.

The women, on the other hand, went to experience making breakfast and pastries for the children.

 

But unexpectedly, Sophia actually saw an unexpected person in the orphanage.
