Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 461 The Little Girl Named Alva
Sylvia’s POV:
I motioned Flora to follow me into the orphanage.
Barlow looked hesitant at first, but he followed us in and didn’t stop us.
The children in the orphanage were playing outdoor games. They laughed, cheered, and played with such good behavior, under the guidance of their teachers. Looking around, I couldn’t find anything wrong. “Do you want me to show you around?” Barlow asked.
One teacher also came over in a hurry, wanting to entertain us.
I felt a little embarra*s*sed and didn’t want to bother them. “Nothing seems unusual here. Should we go back? We don’t want to disturb the kids,” Flora whispered in my ear.
I nodded. Just when I was about to turn around and leave, I heard something that stopped me.
Someone said the name Alva, the same name I had seen on the wall in the sewer last night.
I followed the direction of the voice and saw a cute little girl who had fallen to the ground.
The voice came from a teacher. She was about to help the girl up.
I walked over and helped the girl up myself. “Are you okay?”
The little girl was very cute and looked clean. She wore a pink dress and her hair was tied up in two buns, held up by red strawberry pins.
But I noticed that she seemed blind. There was no light in her big eyes, which also could not focus on anything. The little girl reached out in the air, trying to find where I was.
Hastily, I reached out my finger to touch her hand. “I’m right here.”
The little girl smiled and said sweetly, “Thank you, young lady.”
I laughed and asked softly, “How did you know I’m a young lady? What if I’m an old lady?”
The little girl tucked her hands behind her and tilted her head to the side. “Alva’s intuition is most accurate.”
My heart softened. I crouched down and patted her head. “Is Alva your name? That’s beautiful. You’re the smartest indeed.”
From what she said, I confirmed that her name was indeed Alva, the same name on the sewer wall. Still, more than one girl could be named Alva.
I wasn’t sure how to inquire for more information. Since Barlow was still around, I obviously couldn’t ask directly right now.
The teacher smiled at me. “Thank you.”
I stood up and returned a polite smile. “No problem. She is a very cute kid.”
“She is. Unfortunately, she cannot see.” The teacher sighed.
“May I ask what happened? Did she acquire it?” I asked quietly.
The teacher shook her head. “She’s been blind since birth. There’s just no cure.”
I looked down at Alva, who was still standing obed*iently by her teacher. My heart ached.
After some conversation, the teacher planned to take Alva back.
I didn’t know when I was going to have this opportunity again, so I hurriedly asked, “I like Alva a lot. Can you maybe let us play with her for a little longer?”
I saw the teacher look at Barlow with hesitation. They seemed to know each other, as they had been looking at each other a few times since we got here.
After hesitating for a while, Barlow finally nodded. Happily, I picked Alva up and walked to the playground. I was going to let her play on the slide.
After a while, I gave Flora a secret wink while Barlow was not looking. Immediately, Flora understood and sprang into action. She shivered and exclaimed that she was having a stomach ache. She asked Barlow to take her to the doctor.
Unsuspecting of anything, Barlow hurriedly took Flora to the doctor. I also managed to send the teacher away with a few words. Once they were all gone, I now had an opportunity to talk to Alva.
“Alva, do you know someone named Felix?” I asked softly.
Alva’s face lit up at the mention of the name. She excitedly leaned forward and said, “That’s my brother! Do you know my brother? I haven’t heard his voice in two days.”
