The expression on Stephanie's face was filled with joy and surprise when she saw Charlie.

She ran toward Charlie immediately as she grabbed hold of Charlie's arms with both of her hands before she asked, "Brother Charlie, why didn't you come back to visit us at the orphanage for such a long time?" 2

Charlie did not feel uncomfortable at all even though she was grabbing her arms with her hands. On the contrary, he was like her elder brother, and he said affectionately, "I have not been doing well after leaving the orphanage. Therefore, I feel a little embarrassed to come back to the orphanage to visit all of you." 8

As soon as Stephanie heard his words, her eyes turned red, and she choked as she sobbed and said, " Mrs. Lewis told us that you have been working on a construction site after you left the orphanage. She also told us that you would always send all of your hard-earned money to her so that she could buy us books, clothes, and food. Why didn't you come back to see me at all? It has already been so many years but I did not get to see you at all..." 1

As she spoke, Stephanie burst into tears as she said," When Mrs. Lewis fell ill, I heard her saying that you would always come and visit her at the hospital. However, you would always visit her after we leave. It seems as though you are deliberately hiding from us. Do you know how uncomfortable and upset all of our brothers and sisters were because you were avoiding u s?" 2

Charlie could not help but sigh when he heard this.

Charlie had not led a good life after leaving the orphanage. Previously, he had been busy working at the construction site three hundred and sixty-five days a year. He did not take a single day off and worked all year round. He would only keep enough money to fill his stomach and then, he would send the rest of his hard-earned money to Mrs. Lewis. 2
