Chapter 174: MY KITE!
"Alpha, it will be better if you do not stay for long here, just in case," Ardand spoke carefully. He was worried about the same thing as Aliana.
If something happened to Cane, they didn’t know what to do, especially when they really didn’t know what was going on with these children.
Seeing their worried faces, Cane finally stepped out of the room. It wouldn’t do any good if he too fell sick. Moreover, he couldn’t help with anything by staying inside the room with them either.
The orphanage was a two storey house with around twenty small rooms for the little children. Because the number of the rooms didn’t meet the number of the children, they actually allocated one room to every three or four children.
Their ages range from infancy to twelve years, while those above twelve years old could join the rank of the warriors, work in the orphanage to look after the little ones or find other work.
"Why are you here?" Cane asked Aria when he walked toward the yard, where children were playing with the six adults who looked after them.
As far as Cane knew, Aria was not really fond of children. She might not realize it, but Cane was an observant person, thus it was easy for him to tell.
"I have been helping Aliana around here, a week after you left for the Moon Dew pack," Aria replied honestly. She looked demure when she said that.
Cane glanced at her, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared quick enough when he felt something bump into his leg and out of instinct, he bent down to hold it.
