The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 36

Over the past six months, the Green family’s fortune had soared, and now it felt like they were at the top of the world.

Catherine drove home, tossed a couple of bags together, and headed straight to the orphanage. She planned to stay there for the next few days, just to keep an eye on the kids and help out where she could.

The place was small, only five or six rooms, with a little more than a dozen children living there. Almost every one of them had some kind of illness, so covering their medical expenses was always a struggle. Donations from kindhearted people barely kept up with daily costs. Catherine and Lorinda usually ended up paying most of the medical bills themselves. Amanda, who ran the place, tried to earn a bit more by making crafts, but it never amounted to much.

Catherine brought snacks for the kids and jumped in to help Amanda with whatever needed doing.

“Amanda, I heard from Lorinda that you and she are planning to move away after the New Year? Is that true?” Amanda asked carefully, her voice full of concern.

Since Catherine had left the orphanage, she only came by at set times to help out and drop off money. She never talked about her own life. Amanda didn’t even know Catherine had married Lance or that she was pregnant now.

“Yeah, it’s true. There are better opportunities out there, so Lorinda and I are thinking of leaving Cabinda. But don’t worry. We’ll still send money back every month, and we’ll come visit for the holidays,” Catherine said.

Amanda let out a breath she’d been holding. “That’s good…”

She gave a small, embarrassed smile. “It’s not that I don’t trust you. I just worry. What if things don’t work out? If you can’t earn money somewhere else, what happens to all these kids?”

“Don’t worry. Lorinda and I have it all figured out. We’d never just abandon the kids,” Catherine reassured her.

Over the years, Catherine had saved up enough money to feel safe making this leap. Otherwise, she would never have quit her job and decided to have a baby.

“Do you really have to go?” Amanda pressed, still not giving up. “Do you know where yet?”

“We haven’t decided,” Catherine replied with a gentle smile. “But we’ll tell you as soon as we know.”

Amanda didn’t ask again, though her face showed she wasn’t happy about it.

A little later, Amanda handed Catherine a pile of dirty laundry.
