With a yful grin, Jeff remarked, “Oh, Lisa, don’t misunderstand me. I’m just teasing Charlie. You know how we used to joke around back in the day; we’re good friends!”


    Lisa let out a snort and turned away, choosing to ignore him.


    Just then, a woman with gray hair and a warm expression stepped out from the entrance of the orphanage. She noticed the gathering and asked, “Eh, why is everyone still here? I thought you all headed to the restaurant already.”


    The crowd quickly turned around, surprised to see it was Mrs. Lewis speaking to them.


    With a gentle smile, Mrs. Lewis expressed her delight at seeing them. When her gazended on Charlie, her eyes sparkled with gratitude.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Everyone looked at Mrs. Lewis with eager and hopeful expressions.<fnb7e4> This content belongs to fι?dnοvel</fnb7e4>


    Thanks to the abilities he gained from an apocalyptic book, Charlie could instantly tell that Mrs. Lewis had made a full recovery and was in excellent health!


    Relief washed over him, and he sighed. If he had acquired his abilities sooner, Mrs. Lewis could have avoided the kidney transnt surgery altogether! The Rejuvenating Pill would have sufficed to heal her and even make her a few years younger.


    Mrs. Lewis shared this sentiment. To her, each child in front of her felt like her own beloved child. She had devoted her life to caring for the orphanage.


    While she never expected the children to see her as a mother figure, she was truly touched and grateful to have them visit her.


    The group approached Mrs. Lewis, offering their greetings. Some were heartfelt, while others were merely polite.


    Regardless, Mrs. Lewis appreciated that the children still remembered her.


    Charlie stepped forward and said, “Mrs. Lewis, congrattions on your recovery and discharge!”


    ire chimed in with a sweet smile, “Mrs. Lewis, congrattions on your recovery!”


    Mrs. Lewis beamed when she saw Charlie and ire. “Charlie, ire! It’s been months! I’ve missed you both! How have you been?”


    Among the many children who came and went at the orphanage, she treated them all like her own. Yet, in truth, Charlie was the one boy she held a special affection for.


    During his time at the orphanage, Charlie was the most obedient, thoughtful, and caring child.


    While other kids asionally returned to visit or support the orphanage, Charlie was the only one who consistently went above and beyond to help.


    When she fell ill, even her family was frustrated by the mounting medical bills, but Charlie was the only one who stepped up to sponsor her.


    If it hadn’t been for him, she might not have survived.


    Thanks to Charlie’s support, Mrs. Lewis received the best care at Fairview Hospital in Eastcliff, and she felt deeply indebted to his kindness and generosity.


    She also felt grateful towards ire, as they had both yed significant roles in raising funds for her medical expenses.


    Taking ire’s hand, Mrs. Lewis looked at her with the same affection she would show a daughter-inw and said, “ire, you’ve never looked more beautiful. Tell me, does Charlie give you a hard time? You two are a perfect match; make sure to respect one another and get along well. Don’t let anyone speak ill of you.”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
