Chapter 1599

Jamie asked the assistant for the family's information.

The assistant looked surprised. "What do you need this for?"

She casually made up an excuse.

After getting the address, she quickly took a cab to the family's home. They lived in an old building in the rundown part of town. Most of the buildings there were slated for demolition. The walls were peeling, and everything looked aged beyond repair. Even the doors were heavy iron ones.

Jamie knocked on the door.

A woman's voice called out from inside, "Who is it?"

Jamie waited patiently. Soon, a woman in an apron opened the door. The stranger's face filled her with suspicion.

Jamie held up a box of milk and some fruit she had bought on the way. She smiled warmly. "Community outreach program. Here to bring you some care packages."

That was enough to get the woman to open the door.

Holding the gifts, the woman softened. Her face relaxed into a smile. "We haven't had something like this in ages! Is everyone in the area getting one?"
