Chapter 179

The air fell quiet for a moment. I sat on the couch, my fingers tensed up. "What?" I thought I heard it wrong. Or, could it be possible that my memory was wrong? I recalled that I was in 12th grade that year. I was exhausted after all my studies, so I fell asleep as soon as I got into the car. In my memory, Dad drove for a long way. I couldn't remember where we were headed, but I remembered lying on Mom's lap, sleeping soundly. "Turn down the music. Stephie's sleeping." I vaguely heard Mom softly scolding Dad. "Andy asked me to meet at the Hymn Bridge. Let's head over there." I couldn't quite recall Dad's exact words, but I remembered feeling excited to meet someone. "Isn't that Andy's car?" Mom asked. "The orphanage has fostered two geniuses, and the superiors have high expectations for them. This is a good opportunity to promote our cause and inspire more people to join the public welfare movement. We have to raise awareness about orphaned and neglected children…" Bang!
