Chapter 8: A baby
Chi Lian turned around and run to the area T4 had identified as the one where the crying baby sound was coming from.
There she found a child in a box. It did not look like a newborn baby, more like a year or two year old child. From her dressing, Chi Lian assumed that it was a girl. She was dressed in tiny torn leggings and a shirt that had on the words ’Little princess.’
There was dirt and ash all over her face.
Chi Lian carried her out of the box and soothed her.
"Who would do such a terrible thing to a little child." She asked.
"I am already viewing the security footage around the area. Perhaps we can locate the parents of the child if we can find who dumped her here."
Chi Lian pulled some water out of her storage to wash the child’s face. Then she got some bread and milk from the storage and fed her slowly.
The child must have been so hungry because she gobbled up the bread and milk like a starving wolf in the wild.
She must have been starving for days or hours. Chi Lian thought.
Perhaps the child was exhausted or just relieved to feel safe; she fell asleep shortly after eating.
Finally, T4 came up with a useful lead. "The child was abandoned here by three men in a black van. I have traced its journey and it came from a little house half a mile away from here named Sunshine orphanage.
