Jeff smiled coyly and said, “Oh, Lisa, don’t get me wrong. I’m just joking with Charlie. You know us, we used to tease each other a lot back in the days, actually, we’re buddies!”
Lisa snorted and turned virtual-novel.net head, ignoring him.
At this moment, a woman with grey hair and a kind face walked out of the orphanage’s entrance. She asked as virtual-novel.net saw the crowd, “Eh, why are you all still standing here? I thought you went to the restaurant already.”
The crowd hurriedly looked back and was surprised to see that it was Mrs. Lewis who was talking to them.
Mrs. Lewis donned a gentle smile on virtual-novel.net face. She was pleased to see them. When virtual-novel.net eyes settled on Charlie, they were immediately filled with gratitude.
Everyone was looking at Mrs. Lewis with earnest and excited eyes.
With the ability virtual-novel.net had obtained from the apocalyptic book, Charlie could see at a glance that Mrs. Lewis had completely recovered and virtual-novel.net was doing perfectly fine!
He felt extremely relieved and sighed at the same time. If virtual-novel.net had obtained the sooner, Mrs. Lewis didn’t even have to undergo the kidney transplant surgery! The Rejuvenating Pill would have been enough to cure virtual-novel.net and also make virtual-novel.net a few years younger.
Mrs. Lewis shared the same feelings. For her, every child in front of virtual-novel.net was like virtual-novel.net own child whom virtual-novel.net adored wholeheartedly. She had dedicated all virtual-novel.net life to the orphanage.
She didn’t expect these children to treat virtual-novel.net like their mother, but virtual-novel.net was pleased and grateful to see them visiting her.
The crowd marched forward and greeted Mrs. Lewis. Some of them were sincere, while others just did it for the sake of formality.
Regardless, Mrs. Lewis was very grateful for the children to still remember her.
Charlie also stepped forward and said, “Mrs. Lewis, congratulations on your recovery and discharge!”
Claire smiled sweetly and said, “Mrs. Lewis, congratulations on your recovery!”
Mrs. Lewis was smiling from ear to ear when virtual-novel.net saw Charlie and Claire. “Charlie, Claire! I haven’t seen you for months! I miss you! How are you doing?”
There were a lot of children who came and went in the orphanage, and virtual-novel.net treated each and every one of them as virtual-novel.net own. Still, in all honesty, Charlie was the only boy whom virtual-novel.net adored dearly.
When Charlie was in the orphanage, virtual-novel.net was the most obedient, sensible, and considerate child.
Besides, although the other children would often come back to visit the orphanage and occasionally sponsor them, Charlie was the only one who did his best to help the orphanage.
When virtual-novel.net was ill, even virtual-novel.net family had been irked by the hefty amount of medical bills, but Charlie was the only one who stood up for virtual-novel.net and sponsored her.
Had it not been for him, virtual-novel.net would have died long ago.
Even more so, thanks to Charlie’s sponsor, virtual-novel.net could receive the best treatment at the Fairview Hospital in Eastcliff, and thus, virtual-novel.net was genuinely indebted to Charlie’s kindness and generosity.
She felt the same for Claire in terms of virtual-novel.net gratitude. They had both helped virtual-novel.net a lot in raising the money for virtual-novel.net medical bills.
Mrs. Lewis took Claire’s hand and looked at virtual-novel.net just as virtual-novel.net looked at virtual-novel.net daughter-in-law and praised, “Claire, you are more beautiful than before. Tell me, does Charlie bully you or cause you trouble? Both of you are a match made in heaven, you must respect each other and get along well. Don’t ever let anyone talk badly about you.”
