Goodbye, My Love

Cooper family villa. He held Loraine's hand and said, "Fortunately, we now know their plans and can take the initiative. Let's go back to Mrs.

Harvey and tell her to prepare in advance. Whatever they have in mind, we'll be ready with a response."

As his hand held Loraine's, she couldn't help but recall all the tense moments they had shared just now. Her face turned slightly red, but she did not pull away from his grasp. "Well... Let's head back to the orphanage first! Mrs. Harvey had a fright today, and it's not ideal for us to stay out too long."

The two walked hand in hand all the way back, seemingly closer than they were when they first arrived in the rustic countryside. By the time they returned to the orphanage, it was already late in the evening.

All the children had settled in their rooms to sleep, and Eloise had also retired to her room, having experienced quite a shock that day. The Lights in her room were off, but the room that had been prepared for Loraine and Marco remained illuminated.

Loraine stood in front of Eloise's door, hesitating to knock, and eventually, she withdrew her hand.

With a sigh, she turned around to leave.

Marco followed her, feeling puzzled. "What's wrong? Shouldn't we remind

Mrs. Harvey not to attend the Cooper family's banquet tomorrow?"

"Mrs. Harvey has always been a light sleeper. If I wake her up now, she probably won't be able to sleep well throughout the rest of the night. Let's tell her tomorrow," Loraine replied.

In addition to that, Eloise was getting older, and her health wasn't as good as it once was. Loraine didn't want to disturb her sleep.

Marco didn't say anything, and instead, tightened his grip on her hand.

Silently, he accompanied her back to their room.

Their room had been specially prepared by Eloise, and was reminiscent of the one Loraine had stayed in as a child, though the bedding was much softer and clearly arranged with care

Loraine sat at the table with her head lowered.

"These past years, I haven't returned to see Mrs. Harvey often, and our communication has been infrequent... Maybe that's why she feels distant from me and didn't inform me when something this big happened."

After Loraine was taken back to her family, they sent money to support the orphanage, and she had attempted to contact Eloise a handful of times, only hearing positive news. As a result, she had assumed that

Eloise was leading a better life with the financial assistance from

Torres family, and had no idea that she was being targeted by Judie.
