Caretaker Shani rapped on her door, and within a minute, it swung open, revealing a young girl in her teens cradling a sleeping baby in her arms.
The girl's face immediately lit up upon seeing Caretaker Shani.
"Caretaker Shani, you're back."
Caretaker Shani nodded, "You can give him to me and go back home to get some rest. Don't forget to return tomorrow to get your payment," she said gently, raising both hands to receive the baby.
The girl nodded in understanding, handing the baby to her before bidding her farewell.
"See you later, Rick."
"Goodnight, Caretaker Shani."
"Goodnight," Caretaker Shani replied with a warm smile.
She watched as the girl gave one last silent nod at Orion before turning around and disappearing into the thick tree and bushes in the distance.
"Come on, come in," Caretaker Shani added, turning to look at Orion with a warm smile as she walked into her hut.
