Chapter 77: The Cruel World (Part one)
Zoe hesitated to enter the house where Finn Lewis lived. It took quite some convincing from Finn to get her inside. Once she was inside, her eyes were immediately drawn to the beautiful interior. โUncle, is this your house? Itโs so beautiful! I wish I could live in a big house like this!โ Starry-eyed Zoe exclaimed.
โGood. If you want to live here, how about we reside here from now on?โ Finn quickly kneeled down and answered. It was perfect for Finn that the little lass liked living here; he was worried about how to break the news to her.
โWellโฆ but I need to take care of my grandma. Sheโs ill. This house is beautiful, uncle, but I think you should take me home tomorrow.โ Zoe thought it over, then reluctantly expressed her thoughts. Finn saw a glimpse of the girl who stood in front of the ice cream cart again.
Finn couldnโt help but stand up quickly and rub his now-reddened eyes. Perfect timing โ someone rang the doorbell. Fishy Wells, who knew the door code, had arrived. Fishy lived in the same complex.
โSir.โ Fishy was a little nervous, but when she entered the room and saw the grimy little girl, she instantly felt her heart lighten up and curiously greeted her.
โYouโve come at a good time. Let me introduce you; this is Amber Green.
Chloeโฆ this beautiful sister is Fishy Wells. Would it be good if you call her โSister Fishyโ and ask her to give you a bath and wash your hands?โ Finn spoke to the little girl.
โOkay! Thank you, Sister! But if I call you my sister, should I call you my brother?โ Zoe looked up and blinked at Finn.
โGood, good. You can call me โBrother.โโ Who likes to be an uncle! Finn was delighted. The little girl was smart. He quickly agreed.
โYou take her for a bath, later on, I will tell you where she comes from.โ Finn quickly told Fishy.
Fishy nodded, then bent down, smiled at Zoe and said, โZoe, your sister will take you for a bath.โ After saying that, she led Zoe to the bathroom on the first floor. After taking a few steps, Fishy looked back and told Finn, โSir, you should call Julia and ask them to buy some childrenโs clothes.โ
โOh, right. You go give her a bath.โ Finn nodded, just remembering this.
Fishy took Zoe to have a bath, while Finn picked up his phone and called Julia Parker. He didnโt ask where to get the clothes; his employees would handle this, or what was the point in hiring them?
After a few minutes, Fishy came out of the bathroom, โShe is soaking in there on her own, Iโll go in and help in a while,โ Fishy said.
โWell thiq iq thiq little Oirlโq qtnrv โ Finn thnncyht for n rnnmpnt and decided tn
conceal some parts of Chloeโs origins from Fishy, just telling that the girl picked up empty drink bottles to support herself and her grandma. Her grandma had passed away due to a late-state liver cancer, but she was still unaware of this. Finn didnโt mention the part about the kidnapping.
Even so, as he finished his words, tears welled up in Fishyโs eyes. She looked at Finn with teary eyes and said, โSir, I know itโs wrong to say this, but since you have the ability, why not just adopt her? Otherwise, sending her to an orphanage, who knows what could happen. If you donโt want to adopt her, I
can. โ
โDonโt worry. Now that Iโve brought her home, I canโt ignore her. But if I recall correctly, neither you nor I can adopt a child. Iโll have to ask my parents to come,โ Finn said with a smile.
โRight.โ Fishy nodded quickly.
โOkay, go inside quickly. She may be anxious if you are late. Remember not to say anything.โ Finn reminded her. >
Fishy nodded and went in to help Zoe take a bath. Finn sat on the sofa feeling a bit troubled, wondering how to break the news of her grandmaโs death to Zoe. What a predicament!
After contemplating for a good long while, Finn thought of a way. He picked up his phone and dialed the phone number of the middle-aged policeman whose number he had kept. He headed upstairs while on call.
The call was picked up quickly, and the familiar voice of the middle-aged policeman greeted him, โHello, who is this?โ
โOfficer Cowley, itโs me, Finn, the one who paid for Auntie Kingโs funeral.โ Finn introduced himself. โOh, itโs Mr. Lewis. Hello, hello.โ The middle-aged policeman greeted warmly and unexpectedly.
For them, having connections with the wealthy was good. They were just ordinary policemen, but these rich people, who knew their potential? โSo, the little girl has been found and was brought to me,โ Finn said without delay.
โAh? Found her? Thatโs good.โ The middle-aged policeman answered cheerfully.
โBut thereโs another problem; I might need your help.โ Finn thought about it. It was impossible for him to hide from the police completely. Especially how Zoe got back, it was a problem. Therefore, he had to be clear with the police.
โWhat problem? Just say it. If I can help, I certainly will. After all, arenโt we police here to solve problems?โ The policeman declared immediately.
โThis is the thing; the little girl has indeed been taken away. What it is for, I donโt know. They demanded five million from me before they sent her back. Of course, Iโm telling you, Officer Cowley, not because I want to hold them accountable. This is police work, I donโt want to pursue this matter anymore. As for whether or not you should pursue it, thatโs not for me to say. But what I f(r)eeweb(n)ovel
want to say is, the girl doesnโt know her grandma has passed away. But you Imow what she should do in the future. Sheโs basically an orphan now.โ Finn carefully weighed his words before continuing.
Officer Cowley was stunned for a moment before he understood. He knew exactly what Finn meant. From a kinder perspective, Finn is saying that he paid five million to bring the child back, but from a harsher perspective, this is a case of kidnapping and extortion! However, if Finn didnโt want to pursue it, how they handled it was the policeโs business. But surely, what Finn wanted to say was not this.
Then, Finn explained his plans to the police officer. Upon hearing this, the officer immediately agreed to help. After all, this was not a big deal, just a white lie told with good intentions. For the little girl, this could not have been better news.
โBut Mr. Lewis, you canโt adopt the child, just like you said. If you want to adopt, you need to bring your parents over. As for the procedures, I can help.โ This middle-aged policeman sighed and then spoke. Zoe was very lucky to be adopted by Lewis. Her life would be very different from now on. While this didnโt have much to do with him, he was still willing to do this good deed.
โOfficer, donโt worry. Iโll bring my parents over as soon as I can for the adoption procedure.โ Finn nodded and assured him..
