Charles leaned in and kissed Ynda gently on the cheek. “Don’t worry, William. I’ve always treated Yndal
well.”
Ynda gave a small smile and tucked the nket around William. “Just focus on resting, okay? Stop worrying about the orphanage. I’ll go check on the kids in a bit.”
William closed his eyes, exhaustion written all over his face. “Ynda, you’ve been working so hard these years and already given so much to the orphanage. If I really can’t make it, I won’t let those kids be your <fnbdac> Updates are released by find~novel</fnbdac>

“There have been people trying to buy the orphanage, but I always refused. The person in charge has <b>a </b>bad reputation, and I <b>was </b>worried she wouldn’t treat the kids right. I-
Ynda squeezed his hand. “That’s enough, William. If you keep talking like this, I’m going to get <b>mad</b><b>.</b>”
William smiled and gently patted the back of her hand. “I’m going to get some sleep now. Thanks foring all the way here <b>so </bte. <b>You </b>should head home, too. Get some rest before work tomorrow.”
Ynda felt ashamed inside. Just a few days after she married <b>Charles</b>, Athena had passed away.
Back when <b>Athena </b>was alive, she always told Ynda that having a pretty face was a blessing, but <b>if </b>girls only yed the beauty card, they were doomed.
She told Ynda to have a job to stand on her own, or else people would just push her around.
At that time, Ynda had already closed her studio and became a stay–at–home wife. Because she’d gone against Athena’s advice, she never dared to admit it, and ended up hiding it for two whole years.
If William ever found out Ynda was a stay–at–home <b>wife </b>now, he’d probably be disappointed.
William and Athena had spent everything they had to take over the orphanage, and put their hearts into teaching every girl there, just hoping they’d study hard and be able to support themselves.
And
yet, as their proudest kid, Ynda was the one who ended up <b>as </b>a stay–at–home wife.
Ynda pushed down her swirling emotions. When she and Charles were <b>on </b>the way back home, she heard Charles ask, “Is William not doing well?”
She nodded, gazing up at the pitch–ck sky. I’m afraid-”
Before she could finish, Charles’s phone rang. It was from apany executive. He raised his hand to cut her off and stepped aside. “What’s up?”
After listening for a moment, he frowned, his hair getting tousled by the night wind, but he still had that air of elegance about him. <b>“</b>Alright. I’lle over and check it out now.”
He hung up and turned to Ynda. “One of thepany execs was just admitted to the hospital. It’s at <b>one </b>of the hospitals Sinir Group invested in. I need to go see what’s going on. You should head home first.

Several of Sinir Group’s senior management were Charles’s trusted allies, while the rest backed his two uncles.
Sinir Group might look calm on the outside, but there was a storm of power struggles brewing underneath. At such a critical moment, if anything happened to one of the higher–ups, it could throw everything into turmoil.
But Ynda wasn’t interested in any of that. Instead of heading home, she drove for an hour straight to the orphanage.
The kids were still up. All twenty–something of them were waiting in the yard for William toe back. When they saw Ynda, they all <b>stood </b>up quietly. No one made a fuss.
A boy said, “Ms. Grant, is Mr. Bet still sick? We’re really worried about him. We made these paper cranes. Joey said if we hang them on the tree, he’ll get better.”
Ynda looked at their adorable faces and crouched down. “Mr. Bet will be back soon. He asked me to check if you’re all getting ready for bed. Hurry up and wash up. Otherwise, he might get upset.
The kids scattered right away, shouting as they ran, “We’ll go to bed now! Please take care of the paper cranes <ol><li>US. Grant. Next time, we’ll give you a present.” </li></ol>

Ynda couldn’t help but smile as she hung the string of paper cranes on the tree in the yard.
When she walked inside, she saw all the kids already tucked into bed, sweetly saying goodnight to her. After closing the door, her phone rang. It was a call from William’s doctor.
“Ms. Grant, we’ve found a matching kidney donor. We can schedule the surgery soon. You- Before he could finish, his phone buzzed with another call. “Hold on, I need to take this.”
Ynda waited for half an hour, but he never called back. She tried calling him again, but he didn’t pick up.
This doctor had been William’s main physician for a long time. He was a good man and wouldn’t joke about something like this. Without wasting another second, Ynda drove straight to the doctor’s house and rang the doorbell.
The doctor, sses perched on his nose, looked at her <b>with </b>a flicker of surprise in his eyes, quickly reced by shame. “Ms. Grant, why are you here?”
He still had no idea who Ynda really was; he just knew that she was wealthy and always treated William with kindness.
“Didn’t you just call and say you’d found a kidney donor?” Ynda pressed.
The doctor nervously adjusted his sses. “No, I made a mistake. I shouldn’t have said that.”
“Doctor, I’ve been searching for a matching kidney for two years. Please, I’m begging you; just be honest with. me” Ynda’s presence was overwhelming; her eyes were so sharp, it was like she could see right through any
secrets.
The doctor hesitated, and then let out a heavy sigh. There’s nothing I can do. I should’ve been happy for you

when we found the donor, but the hospital sent word..
“The kidney got snatched by someone else. Just seconds after I called you, it was already promised to another patient.”
Ynda let out a bitterugh. “Is one life really worth more <b>than </b>another? I’ve been searching for two years. That kidney should have gone to us<b>.</b><b>” </b>
The doctor shock his head. “Ms. Grant, the person who got it is really influential. I heard they’re connected to the Sinir family, probably a top executive.
“This all happened just tonight, and the order came directly from the CEO of Sinir Group. And the hospital that took the kidney is also one of theirs.
“You know, about a third of the private hospitals in Beloris are backed by the Sinir family. We work closely with them. Some of our most advanced equipment is on loan from them.”
Ynda’s face turned cold, and she spun around, heading for her <b>car</b>.
The doctor called after her, “I’ve seen this sort of thing way too often. It’s my fault for calling you so quickly. Maybe it wouldn’t hurt so much if you hadn’t found out right away.”
