5 Chapter 4

***Xiuying/ Raine's POV***

I ordered Du to take the child to the nearest inn and help her clean up. I watched them while sitting near the window as they busy out themselves I can't help but recall when I hugged the child I was also like her...

Headmistress where are we going? a little girl asked as their orphanage's headmistress hastily held her hand and walks through the busy street. She looks back and worriedly look at the direction where they came from there are times when she almost stumbles but the headmistress just held her hand and walk. She didn't answer for a while but choking up her sobs, when they are already in front of a big house he stopped and look at the child's face. "Little Raine...our..our orphanage will be closed if we don't do what they want..."

"Ummm...what do they want headmistress?" the child tilt her head to the right as if pondering...

"You need to stay here for a while so that your brothers and sisters, all of us will still have our home... I'm so sorry..." The headmistress haven't finished her sentence when someone snatched the child's hand from her...

"Headmistress!!! Help!!!" the girl struggled and cries as the guard takes her inside the mansion, leaving the headmistress sobbing outside the gate.

"I'm sorry Raine..."

"Young miss, I'm done cleaning her up."

I snapped from my thoughts as I heard Du, forcing a smile.

"Thank you Du'er. Oh my... you're such a cutie!" the little girl blushed like a tomato even her ears turned pink.

"What's your name?"

"I'm Hua..."

"That's fits you well, do you still have a family? I can have someone send you back to them..." she shakes her head then her eyes shed tears. "Don't cry Xiao Hua, do you want to come with me?" she looks at me with disbelief and nodded quickly.

"Cool!" I exclaimed in English while standing up.

"What's cowl, young miss?" Du'er suddenly asked. Oh shoot I need to control myself saying words that are weird to them.

"Oh I mean okay!" I nervously answered, "Let's go back to the manor it'll be late if we stay longer here." I quickly added as I noticed her still thinking of the word I said. She finally let go of the topic as she remembers what my mother told us to return before the sun sets.

We were able to return to the manor on time though we have to walk faster so when I arrived in my courtyard I immediately took off my outer garments and lay my tired body on my bed.

"Du'er..." I weakly call out.

"Yes young miss?"

"Have Hua'er stay with you and train her as your helper, I already got Mother's permission." I said with my eyes closed.

"Yes, young miss. Would you like me to add lavender scent to your bath?" I simply nod to her question and heard her and Hua's footsteps while preparing my bath.

I'm here and won't go back there or are there any chances that I will. How are they doing...? Are they fine and living well? I miss you my little ones...
