“Mommy, will that bad man who kidnapped us try and hurt us?” Felix was extremely nervous. Esther
smiled, trying to reassure him. “No, he won’t.”
“Really?” Felix remained uneasy.
Esther nodded. “Really.”
She wasn’t sure if the person would recognize Felix and herself.
‘If they recognize us, will it put us in danger? Should we leave to keep Anna and the others safe from
this mess?’
“Do we have to leave now, Mommy?” Felix asked.
Even though Esther was anxious, she didn’t show it. She had to be a mother who could make her son
feel safe.

Esther playfully flicked Felix’s nose.
Felix pouted and protested, “I’m not scared. I’m super brave!”
“Yes, you are, Felix. You’re the bravest little boy!” Esther affectionately bumped heads with Felix and
said softly, “Shall we go and play with Sunshine and Anna?”
“Sure!”
Felix and Esther made their way downstairs to the living room.
Sunshine watched Felix from a distance, a faint hint of worry appearing on her beautiful face.
Seeing Felix was in much better spirits, Anna smiled teasingly and asked, “Are you still scared, Felix?”
“Not anymore!”
Only then did Sunshine slowly approach Felix’s side, using her cute and sweet voice to
apologize. “I’m sorry for scaring you, Felix.”
Felix graciously replied, “It’s… It’s okay.”
Sunshine reached out her hand, and Felix held it tightly.
“I’ll take you to the fruit garden behind us to play,” Sunshine said.
“Okay!”
While it was still daylight, Sunshine and Felix headed to the fruit garden behind the house to play.
Observing that they were still children, Esther and Anna followed them to the fruit garden to keep an
eye on them.
The garden was filled with numerous fruit trees, and as the host, Sunshine enthusiastically explained to
Felix the different types of fruits on each tree.
“I had no idea Felix was such a timid boy, Esther.” Anna felt embarrassed, thinking that Sunshine and
Felix would get along well.
But none of them anticipated that their first meeting would turn out to be so awkward.

Esther.
“Anna, are you familiar with the church school where Sunshine and Twinkle live?”
Anna believed Esther wanted Felix to attend the church school as well, so she offered, “I can write
Felix a recommendation letter if you want him to study there, Esther.”
Esther carefully assessed Anna’s demeanor and then spoke after a long pause. “That’s not what I
meant. There’s something I want to discuss with you.”
“Go on.”
Esther inquired, “How did you learn about this church school?”
“There was a charity event where children’s paintings from the church school were being auctioned,
and as a designer, I attended. I was captivated by the innocent drawings of the children.
“Since most of them are orphans, I found an opportunity to visit them, and that’s when I first met
Sunshine and Twinkle. They were so little at the time, even stumbling as they walked. However, the
strangest thing was that I felt an instant connection with them the moment I saw them.”
