Chapter 217 - Who took her? (2/2)
Madam Song tried her best to stop her granddaughter from crying as she spoke to her husband.
”We have to keep this child. No matter what.”
”If anyone finds out about this do you think there would be anything to this family again? What would people think when they suddenly see a little girl in this house after hiding our daughter from the public for months?”
”But...”
”We have already chosen a groom from a reputable family for her. This baby is going to ruin everything if we keep her. She is going to ruin this entire family!” He said loudly which caused the baby to cry even louder.
”What.. What are we going to do?” Madam Song asked with tears in her eyes.
The plan was simple. Sending the baby to an orphanage was impossible for them and they couldn't just abandon her somewhere. She at least, needed a family to take care of her.
Because he cared about his granddaughter, he asked them to drop her off in front of 'Happy Ending Orphanage'. It was the best Orphanage he could think of and at least, the staffs there would easily find her.
With tears in her eyes, Anna refused to do it when she was told.
How could she possibly do something like that to a child who was like her grandchild?
”Please....” On her knees, she cried. ”The weather is too cold. And it's already late. No one is going to find her this night. She will freeze to death if we leave her there” She begged.
”Then wear her the thickest sweaters. We can't possibly drop her there during the day. If you don't do it, I'll just ask one of the guards to do it then. You don't have to worry about getting seen, we will block off the entire CCTV cameras in that area” Elder Song spoke angrily.

Changyu cried when she listened to her mother's narration. Her legs gave her away and she crashed on the floor. It was a girl. It was a fragile little girl. Her parents did that to her daughter.
”W....hy? Why did you do that? Why!?” She cried at the top of her lungs.
”We are sorry. Changyu we are truly sorry. We didn't want you to have any obstacle in your life. We are very sorry” Her father began to cry as he apologized. Seeing his daughter like this now, he was beginning to think he had made the wrong decision back then.
Changyu looked at the both of them with evident hatred in her eyes before leaving them there.
The light in the room was put off so the couple both cried silently in the dark room.
Changyu used a hand to clean off the tears that threatened to fall from the corner of her eyes.
They told her it was this particular orphanage HAPPY ENDING.
She felt she had heard of the name before but she could not really place it.
Just like her mother had told her, they had not only cleared the footage for that night, but the footage for the entire day wasn't there either.
No matter how hard they checked, nothing was there.
She had visited Happy Ending Orphanage yesterday to ask questions but most of the staffs there were all knew.
There was only one elderly woman who had stayed there for close to 30years and had promised to check the past entries.
But after returning today to meet with her, she was informed that they had been just one record of a child found outside the orphanage and that was about eighteen years ago and it was a boy.
If her daughter had died, they would have obviously seen her body there. But if she wasn't there at all, it only meant that someone had carried her daughter from there that night.
According to her parents, Anna told them that she dropped the baby outside the gate. They also confirmed from the driver and bodyguard that had taken them there.
So who carried her baby?
Her phone rang and she almost ignored it when she saw it was a call from her sister but she changed her mind and took the call instead.
”Where are they? I heard your place was the last place they visited. No one had seen them ever since.” Her sister questioned.
”So?” Changyu asked indifferently.
”Where are they?”
”They are in my place. You can go meet them there if you wish” Changyu answered before hanging up.
