Among these children, Emily was the only one who had ever seen the old headmaster.
From the moment she could remember, she had been abandoned by her birth mother. At that time, Emily thought it was because she had done something wrong, which was why her mother didn't want her anymore.
She had heard that bad children would be thrown away.
But the old headmaster who brought her back to the orphanage always told her that her mother hadn't abandoned her, she just couldn't find Emily for the time being.
Four-year-old Emily believed him.
She felt if she was well-behaved and waited patiently, her mother would find her one day.
However, the old headmaster passed away, the Qiming Orphanage went through changes and was no longer the same, until the orphanage caught fire and completely vanished.
She had been waiting in confusion for three years, but she never saw her mother again.
Yet Emily always remembered what the old headmaster had said.
"Emily is not a bad child..."
