Chapter 616 As soon as she finished speaking , the girl didn't give Aubree a chance to ask anything else before she rushed off in a hurry with a worried look 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 . The last time 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 plan to dig into it . Aubree believed that he must have his reasons for doing what 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 Angela playing with the youngest kids in the yard . When Angela 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 it . 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 the community , and the children's lives are so much better now , " Angela said . Her words were filled with genuine gratitude . After Ethel's death , the orphanage would eventually be handed over to Angela . 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 playground 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 , Angela , I'm here to see Ethel . I heard she hasn't been feeling too well lately , so I wanted to check in on her , " Aubree said . " Oh , that … " At the mention of Ethel , Angela's smile faded into a worried expression . " Aunt … sigh . The traditional doctor , Mr. Turner , who was brought in last 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 you come to visit Aunt Ethel , you can just use that - it'll save you the trouble of … , " Angela said with a helpless smile . She flashed a small , resigned smile as the kids she'd been playing 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 adorable . Looks like they all recognize me , huh ? " " Well … whenever things are quiet , I tell them stories about you , " Angela replied . " To these kids , you're their role model - kind of like their big 1/2 14:45 Thu T AUD Chapter 616 sister , you know ? " After chatting with Angela for a bit , Aubree headed to the backyard to visit Ethel . Just like Angela had said, the orphanage look Cely different now - the backyard was tastefully landscaped and had an entirely new vibe . Angela explained that Ethel was now the prominent resident in the back wing and sometimes hosted essential guests there . She had also turned the rest of the open space into her vegetable garden Following Angela'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 , she noticed someone stepping out of Ethel's room and leaving through the gate . AD Comment
