Chapter 1886

Karina couldn't help but admire the director.

Once the director had composed herself, Karina expressed her wish to meet the children at the orphanage.

The director agreed without hesitation. "Of course, I'll take you to see them. But just so you know, there's one child who's a bit of an outlier. Please don't take it to heart."

Peeking through the window, Karina hesitated to enter, not wanting to startle the children. She observed silently, her eyes scanning the room. It wasn't long before she noticed a boy sitting in the far corner, completely out of sync with the others.
