<b>Chapter </b><b>616 </b>
As <b>soon </b>as she finished speaking, the girl didn’t give Aubree a chance to ask anything else before she rushed off in <b>a </b>hurry <b>with </b>a <b>worried </b><b>look </b>
on her face.
Reflecting on the conversation, Aubree realized she hadn’t been back in a while.
Ethel’s health was no longer what it used to be. Earlier, Bowen had helped out by finding a traditional doctor to care for her. Thest <b>time </b>Aubree called, Ethel had told her everything was just fine.
Since there was still no breakthrough in Jacinta’s case, Aubree had no choice but to let Vincent keep investigating
As for whether Bowen was actually in Rithol City, she didn’t n to dig into it. Aubree believed that he must have his reasons for <b>doing </b><b>what </b>he did, and she decided to wait until he returned from his “business trip” to ask him about it directly.
After leaving school, Aubree picked up some things and drove to the orphanage. As soon as she walked through the gates, she saw Ang ying with the youngest kids in the yard.
When Ang spotted her, her face lit up with a big smile, “Aubree, you’re back!”
“Why are you still being so polite when you visit? You brought so much stuff again! Next time, don’t even think about <b>it</b>. If you bring anything with you the next time, I won’t take it. Thanks to you, the orphanage has gotten a lot of support from themunity, and the children’s lives are so much better now,” Ang said.
Her words were filled with genuine gratitude.
After Ethel’s death, the orphanage would eventually be handed over to Ang. Naturally, she hoped the kids here could live better lives.
They were already poor kids that nobody cared about. If they couldn’t even get enough to eat or stay warm, who could bear to watch that happen?
“If my influence can help the orphanage, I’m more than happy to help,” Aubree said. She noticed that the yard now had a lot more yground equipment, and the clothes hanging on the line looked brand new. The kids didn’t look as listless or hungry as she remembered from her childhood here.
“By the way, Ang, I’m here to see Ethel. I heard she hasn’t been feeling too welltely, so I wanted to check in on her,” Aubree said.
“Oh, that…” At the mention of Ethel, Ang’s smile faded into a worried expression.
“Aunt… sigh. The traditional doctor, Mr. Turner, who was brought inst time, did help, but she’s getting on in years, after all.
“Oh, I almost forgot–Aunt Ethel moved to the back wing recently.
“We renovated the backyard and expanded the orphanage slightly. Aunt Ethel said it’s quieter back there, so she decided to move in. Now she spends her days growing vegetables and enjoying a peaceful life.
“There’s a back entrance over there. Next time youe to visit Aunt Ethel, you can just use that–it’ll save you the trouble of…<b>,</b><b>” </b>Ang said with a helpless smile.
She shed a small, resigned smile as the kids she’d been ying with all came running over, crowding around Aubree.
Aubree smiled and pulled out some snacks to gently coax the kids away. She chuckled, “It’s fine. They’re pretty <b>adorable</b><b>. </b><b>Looks </b><b>like </b><b>they </b><b>all </b>recognize me, huh?”
“Well… whenever things are quiet, I tell them stories about you<b>,</b><b>” </b><b>Ang </b>replied. <b>“</b><b>To </b>these <b>kids</b><b>, </b><b>you’re </b><b>their </b><b>role </b><b>model</b><b>–</b><b>kind </b><b>of </b><b>like </b><b>their </b><b>big </b>

sister, you know?”
After chatting with Ang for a bit, Aubree headed to the backyard to visit Ethel.
Just like Ang had said, the orphanage look
Cely different now–the backyard was tastefullyndscaped <b>and </b>had an entirely new
vibe.
Ang exined that Ethel was now the prominent resident in the back wing and sometimes hosted essential guests <b>there</b>. She <b>had </b><b>also </b>turned the rest of the open space into her vegetable garden
Following Ang’s directions, Aubree made her way straight to Ethel’s room.
Maybe because Ethel was getting older, her room was now located near the main entrance for convenience. As Aubree approached<b>, </b><b>she </b>noticed someone stepping out of Ethel’s room and leaving through the gate.
