Goodbye, My Love

Giovanni made sure to distribute to everyone, and when he was finished, he handed most of the remaining candy to the reserved

boy.

“Try the candy Angel Sister gave us!”

The boy raised his head, and upon seeing Loraine, he hesitated momentarily before making his way towards her, surprised.

“Lorrie?”

He was lean with a dusky complexion, around fifteen or sixteen years old, which made him one of the older children at the

orphanage. As

Loraine observed him, memories flooded in.

Back when Loraine was still at the orphanage, she used to look after him. Back then, he was just a feeble Little boy. When she

was found by the Torres family, he had chased after her for miles, tearfully pleading her not to forget about the orphanage.

The image of the Little boy from her memories blended with the frail face before her, causing Loraine’s heart to quiver. She

approached him and smiled, gently tousling his hair.

“Dillon? Why are you still so skinny? If word gets out, people might think that Mrs. Harvey is neglecting you and your meals,” Loraine expressed with concern.

Dillon Bernard scratched his head, Looking somewhat embarrassed. Many of his peers had been adopted or had found their own way and had left the orphanage. However, due to his inherent health condition, Dillon remained at the orphanage, burdened with guilt over Eloise. Over time, he became more introverted and secluded.

Yet, the sight of Loraine now appeared to unlock a lLong-closed door in his heart, infusing him with a renewed vivacity and cheerfulness.

“The Devil Sister is Judie Cooper. After you left, she began spreading false tales and slandering you throughout the village,” Dillon continued, his voice resonating with indignation, “We couldn’t stand by silently and attempted to counter her claims, stating the truth in the village… but she used her family’s wealth to retaliate against us.

She tormented and even physically assaulted us. And even now, she continues to disrupt the peace at the orphanage!”

Upon hearing this, Loraine’s expression darkened.

“No wonder she’s been dubbed the Devil.”

Dillon glanced at Loraine, a tinge of shyness coloring his features, and nodded, “Lorrie, you were always benevolent towards us. Mrs. Harvey constantly reminded us of your kindness, and every child in the orphanage recognizes you. That’s why we refer to you as Angel Sister

As for that pesky, disgusting Judie, she’s nothing less than the

Devil!”

The other children all nodded in solidarity, echoing Dillon’s sentiments. Loraine was touched by the title of Angel Sister, but her

mood soured upon learning how Judie didn’t merely taunt them but also inflicted physical harm

Initially, Loraine assumed that Judie’s harassment was confined to her alone, but it appeared she had no reservations about

inflicting misery upon the other orphanage children. And she even shamelessly pestered NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Eloise.

A surge of anger coursed through Loraine at the thought of Judie tormenting the already aged Eloise.
