My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 2058

She held her out in front of the child, but the child didn't show any signs of wanting to accept her gift.

I carefully looked at the child. The moment I blinked, I found him somewhat familiar, but when I snapped out of my daze, I realized I was mistaken.

It wasn't that I recognized him, more like I recognized the look of malnourishment on him.

The lab was an orphanage but also functioned on its own rules. Survival of the fittest was the rule everywhere. This boy was probably the one trapped at the bottom of the chain and was constantly bullied by the others.
