Charles leaned in and kissed Yolanda gently on the cheek. “Don’t worry, William. I’ve always treated Yolandal

well.”

Yolanda gave a small smile and tucked the blanket around William. “Just focus on resting, okay? Stop worrying about the orphanage. I’ll go check on the kids in a bit.”

William closed his eyes, exhaustion written all over his face. “Yolanda, you’ve been working so hard these years and already given so much to the orphanage. If I really can’t make it, I won’t let those kids become your
