In the old classroom, there were about more than ten children of different ages lining up in two rows. All of them were dressed in the same type of white hospital gown. Apart from feeling anxious due to the arrival of the strangers, they looked clean without any visible wounds. Based on my observation, there were no physical signs which implied that they had gone through a traumatic experience.

Heaving a sigh of relief, I was thankful that none of the children was in a pathetic state as imagined by me earlier.

Ashton stepped onto the stage and glanced at them before he asked Joseph, “Have you done a background check for all of them?”

Joseph replied respectfully, “Yes, most of the children’s information is well kept in the orphanage of M Country, except for these children. Basically, there isn’t any record for them. Thus, they are sent here temporarily.”

Ashton did not really react to his words. Squinting his eyes, his mind drifted into contemplation.
