Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 71

“Didn’t I ask you not to involve me?” The person on the phone sounded irritated.

Sasha’s voice carried a trace of panic. “What do we do now? I suspect Gordon wants to investigate further into our affairs. If he finds out about us, that’s going to be disastrous.”

“I already guessed as much. Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on him!” The mysterious person hung up the call after that.

Meanwhile, Gordon had just driven over to the orphanage in the county.

Back then, during that terrible incident, he had found Sasha there.

When his daughter had gone missing, he had sent out a city-wide missing person alert, and the director of the orphanage had contacted him, saying that they had found a girl by the riverside.

When Sasha was found, she was already injured beyond recognition and covered in blood. It was a terrible sight. There were limited medical facilities at the orphanage, so the personnel there were only able to treat her more superficial wounds, but not the injuries on her face.

Gordon and his wife had taken the girl for a paternity test after that. They had only given permission for her to be treated at the hospital after they had confirmed that Sasha was indeed their daughter.

All these memories kept drifting through Gordon’s mind. Before he realized it, he had already arrived at the orphanage.

It had been almost a decade since he last visited this place. He was shocked to discover that it was even more run-down compared to how he remembered it from ten years ago.

The orphanage gate itself was already pretty dilapidated. When he opened the door and went in, there were only a few people there. The entire atmosphere was depressing.

“Someone’s here! Someone’s here!” A few children came running to the door, shouting excitedly. They were dressed in shabby, worn-out clothes and their faces had an unhealthy sallow tinge. They looked as if they had not eaten properly in quite a while.

Several other children emerged after that, followed by a woman in a blue uniform.

“What on earth are you yelling about? Are you trying to bring the house down?” The children scattered in fright at the woman’s stern voice.
