Chapter 123: Knoa’s mother
"Once again, on behalf of Director Althea Horace, I’m congratulating every one of you on this joyous occasion. Thank you and that’s all," Knox flashed a warm smile to the orphans who managed to grow up and graduate primary school without having parents.
He suddenly thought how amazing they are to not seek the warmth of family and still focus on studying with an unerring determination and motivation.
Their lives were more unfortunate than Knox’s, yet their smiles never wavered and the sparks on their eyes weren’t dulled.
Somehow, he felt proud of these children, so before he knew it, his impromptu speech became a genuine, motivational, and compassionate one. He truly hopes that the children will find kind families that will adopt them and treat them like their own.
"Papa! You’re amazing!" Knoa jumped on his lap after the event finished and he climbed down the stairs.
Shawn clapped his hands, "That was a tear-jerking phenomenal speech, young master."
Knox rolled his eyes at the other omega and carried Knox in his arms. "Hup! Why, you’re getting heavier by the day, baby. Aren’t you eating too much cake now?"
"Hehe," the kid just guiltily giggled and hugged his father’s neck.
Franz asked, "What should we do next? I thought we were going to volunteer. On what, exactly?"
Alex draped his arm over Franz’s shoulders and replied, "I think it’s about distributing meals, organizing plays, and giving prizes, then giving their gifts at the end. Is that right?"
Knox nodded his head at Alex. A staff came to them and informed them of what to help with. Knox noticed Knoa looking at the playground next to the gym. He tapped his chubby cheek with his index finger and asked gently, "Do you want to play with them?"
