Chapter 399
After getting some insights, Nina stepped out and saw a little girl, about three or four years old. She was sitting under a tree, clutching the candy that Nina had given her and just staring at it. Seeing this, Nina walked over and sat beside her.
“Nina,” the little girl called sweetly, lifting her round eyes.
Nina asked her, “Why aren’t you eating the candy?”
The little girl lowered her gaze, holding the candy in her hand and shaking her head. “I don’t want to eat it.”
“Why?” Nina inquired.
The little girl explained, “I overheard them saying that this candy is really delicious, the best they’ve ever had! I’m afraid if I eat it all, there won’t be any left, so I want to save it. I’ll just lick a little bit, and then it’ll last me a long, long time.”
She carefully licked it once.
Hearing this, Nina felt a pang in her heart. To her, this was just an ordinary piece of candy, something she used to eat often when she was little.
Nina patted the little girl’s head. “You’re still young now. When you grow up to my age, you’ll be able to buy lots of candy. Then you can eat as much candy as you want.”
The little girl put the candy back in her pocket, looked up, and blinked her eyes. “Really? When I grow up, will I be able to eat lots and lots of candy? I love candy the most.”
Nina said, “Then you must study hard and work hard in the future.”
The little girl smiled again, “I know, I won’t be lazy. When I earn money, I’ll also help others like you.”
“Helping others is a good thing, but you must also learn to love yourself more and help others within your means,” Nina said.
She had everything and had never experienced such hardships. She felt that every orphan here needed love and care, and they needed to cherish themselves more. They had suffered too much in their childhood, and they could only strive to achieve their dreams when they grew up.
At that moment, the sound of cars could be heard from outside.
“Director, director, several cars are coming!”
The director hurried out, asking, “What cars?”
“It seems to be trucks delivering supplies. There are several big trucks!”
The director was overjoyed, “Really?”
Soon, five big trucks parked one after another.
Nina also saw them, stood up, and walked over curiously. “Director, are these supplies sent down from above?”
The director was very happy and grabbed Nina’s hand, saying excitedly, “No, it must be because of your report. I haven’t seen so many supplies in years. It’s enough for these children for two months.” Nina was stunned, “But, Director, I haven’t published it yet?”
The director was puzzled, “Then where did this come from?”
Nina looked at the people unloading silently and asked, “Who sent these supplies?”
But the unloader said, “Miss Walker, I’m not quite sure.”
Nina felt something was wrong and glanced outside.
Except for the bumpy road, there was nothing else outside.
Unwilling to give up, Nina walked out.
After walking for a long time, Nina finally saw the car parked behind the tree.
She quickened her pace and knocked on the car window.
“Mr. York,” the driver called out.
Nash’s car had been parked here for a long time.
Lately, whenever he had time, he would follow Nina and accompany her to such remote places.
He rolled down the window without turning his head, his tone cold, “What’s the matter?”
“Did you send the supplies?”
“No.”
Nina asked, “Otherwise, how would those people know that I’m Miss Walker? If not you, then who else could it be? What’s wrong with admitting it?”
Nash remained expressionless, “It’s just charity. There’s no need to know who I am.”
It was definitely not a coincidence that he came here.
Nina asked, “Did you follow me all the way?”
Nash turned his head, his deep eyes cold, “Is this road only for you?”
