The Queen They Buried

Chapter 392

When Alvin left the orphanage, he was in a pretty good mood. Bowen had told Aubree to head back to Ellis Heights that evening. He wouldn’t be going back with the two of them.

As the sun began to set, Ethel, who had been lying in bed, sat up straight. Her bed faced a window that overlooked the playground where the kids loved to play.

Just a little while ago, Aubree had been out there, playing with the kids. She was almost twenty, but she still acted like a kid. Noticing a figure at the door, Ethel said, “I gave him a photo. It was taken before Aubree came to the orphanage.

“I’ll sort out the information on the people in the photo, and you can do your thing with it.”

“Thanks for your help,” Bowen replied.

“I’m not helping you. I’m helping Aubree. If what you said is true, I don’t want her life to be disrupted again. That child has already suffered enough,” Ethel said.

Bowen chuckled softly. “Don’t worry. She’s strong now. She’s capable.”

“I hope so,” Ethel replied.
