Ewan wanted to provide me with more insights into Steven.

I looked up in tears. “Okay.”

Ewan remained silent as he led me to the abandoned orphanage.

“When Mr. Lincoln was 19 years old, Mr. Lincoln Senior intended for him to pursue his Ph.D. abroad. But that day, a fire broke out at the orphanage. Someone deliberately locked him and Simeon in a room, trapping them inside. If we hadn’t arrived in time, Mr. Lincoln would have perished as well.

“Maybe the culprit just wanted to frighten Steven and Simeon, but things spiraled out of control with the fire. The whole dormitory burned down. 19 kids perished that year, except for Steven and Simeon, who were older. The others were just seven or eight years old.”

Those who perished were the younger ones who hadn’t found a home.
