He continued, “She explained that Ms. Love was bullied during that time, which caused her to suffer from some sort of trauma. But the orphanage covered it up.”

A dark cloud crossed Evan’s face.

“There’s another matter,” Reuben added.

Deep lines etched across Evan’s forehead. “Did you manage to contact her adoptive parents?”

“Keep investigating.” Evan commanded firmly.
