Chapter 38 I'll Take It From Here

• While Daniel knitted his eyebrows, Nancy angrily snapped at Fern. "Keep your mouth shut! Where did you learn to say that? Where is your sense of shame?!" She then turned around and explained to Daniel with a smile. "I'm sorry for the trouble that Fern gave you, Sir, but I can assure you that she is not a bad kid. In fact, we're responsible for the shameful action she just committed. After all, she only did something so shameful behind my back to keep all of us fed because our orphanage went bankrupt ever since it closed down. In fact, I've been lecturing her about that, and I promise I'll pay for all your damages, but please do me a favor—do not call the cops. She is still a young little girl, and I don't want her future ruined just because of that." Nancy put her words in a sincere manner, her eyes filled with desperation as she implored the man to go easy on Fern.
• Meanwhile, Daniel was able to notice the patches on Nancy's shirt, as well as the timid kids hiding behind Fern while they all stared at him with horrified looks on their faces. Judging from that, he could tell that Nancy wasn't lying. Moreover, he had already noticed the dilapidated appearance of the orphanage before he came in, which further confirmed his observation. "I won't call the cops. Just give me my wallet," Daniel replied with a smile.
• "Thank you so much! Thank you!" Nancy expressed her gratitude to Daniel and turned around, shouting, "What are you waiting for? Return the wallet to this man!"
