The fatty's lips moved as if he wanted to ask something, but he stopped himself in the end.

Without a doubt, Doctor was one of those children.

"Then where did they end up?" the fatty asked. "I mean...all those kids."

"Eventually, a larger organization contacted us, willing to take them in. At the time, I was a volunteer in the small town, and I got along with him pretty well. That day, he was sick, so I took him to the hospital for a check-up, but we missed the pick-up. When we got back, all the children had been taken away."

"So...Doctor was the only one left?" The fatty felt a sudden, inexplicable panic in his heart.

He knew that Doctor wasn't emotionally deficient; he had simply suppressed his emotions too deeply, just like how even to this day, he hadn't forgiven the parents who had abandoned him.

He often said that he was an orphan. At first, the fatty thought Doctor was deliberately showing off, but later, he gradually realized something was wrong.

The light in Doctor's eyes went out when he said that sentence.

No one likes to be abandoned.

Left in a corner, like a bag of unwanted trash.

On the day Doctor went back to the welfare home, he opened the door and saw that he was the only one left. All the children were gone; they all had a home.

Each bed was neatly made, and there seemed to be a lingering warmth from their companions.

The fatty thought that Doctor must have had insomnia that night.

Lin Wan'er's thoughts also returned to that day. Her face began to show a little change, but it quickly disappeared. "Only one child was left, and there was no need to continue the welfare home, so I took him back."

"While taking care of his life, I also looked for a suitable adoptive family for him." Lin Wan'er smiled. "But in the end, I was too busy with work, and the matter of finding an adoptive family was slowly put aside. As a result, after a few years, Xiao Cheng grew up, and it was even harder to find someone for a grown-up child."

If it were someone else, the fatty would feel uncomfortable using such commercial terms to describe a child, but Lin Wan'er was different.

The fatty understood that it wasn't because she was too busy with work that she forgot about finding an adoptive family. It was all an excuse she made for herself. It was clear that she had been with Doctor for a long time, had developed feelings for him, and couldn't bear to let him go.

Moreover, he could guess how difficult it would be for such a single, beautiful woman to live with a burden like Doctor.

Now he understood why Boss Lin bullied Doctor so much, squeezing his wages. According to Doctor's personality, he wouldn't run away or resist.

At most, he would secretly go out to earn some quick money to improve his life.

Who would truly hate the person who gave them the only ray of light in the darkness?

Boss Lin was to Doctor as Doctor was to himself.

Without Doctor, he would have died in the Nightmare Assault long ago, not even ashes would have been left.

If Doctor needed him, he could do it without hesitation.

Breathing out, Lin Wan'er reached out and gently placed her hand next to her cheek. "Looking back now, it was right to take him away that day and send him to the hospital for treatment."

The fatty immediately nodded in gratitude. "Boss Lin, you are really a good person. Doctor is lucky to have met you."

He naturally assumed that Lin Wan'er had realized Doctor's goodness in their subsequent interactions, thus developing genuine feelings for Doctor.

"I think so too." Lin Wan'er seemed to find the fatty more and more pleasing to the eye. "But we're not talking about the same thing."

The fatty was stunned.

"I'm talking about the children who were taken away by the big organization." Speaking of this, Lin Wan'er's face became strange. "Later, after we verified, we found that the qualifications they submitted to us were fake. There was no such company at all."

"After we realized that we had been deceived, we immediately went to their company. The staff of the welfare home had come to inspect the site, and they had also constructed suitable living places for these children in advance, but when we arrived, we found that this company...had disappeared."

"Disappeared?" The fatty couldn't understand.

"The entire building was empty, and all traces were destroyed. We didn't find any valuable information."

"Of course, those children also disappeared with it. We searched for several years, but they seemed to have vanished into thin air. Some people suspected that they had been taken abroad." Lin Wan'er pursed her lips and paused. "But we have no evidence, and there has been no progress with the police."

Although the fatty didn't know much about company matters, it didn't seem like a simple matter to make an entire company and all its employees disappear.

As long as a person has lived in a certain place, they will definitely leave corresponding clues. This is what Doctor taught him.

The so-called perfect crime is just a more thorough elimination of traces.

Obviously, there was a conspiracy involved.

It seemed...their goal was these children.

But who would be interested in these dozen or so children?

Or rather, these unpopular children.

Conspiracy theories took shape in the fatty's mind. He recalled previous hot news and the crime movies he had seen, and the first thing he thought of was organ trafficking.

Those people were interested in these children's bodies...

But before he could express it, Lin Wan'er seemed to see through his thoughts and shook her head slightly. "No, it's too troublesome and not worth it."

That's right. If they were simply after money, then wouldn't this be too big of a move? The input and output are not proportional, and they would have to risk getting shot.

Looking at those people's methods, these people are very unusual.

The water behind this is probably quite deep.

If they weren't after money, then what would they do with these children at such a cost?

Moreover, they were all children who were considered to be withdrawn and emotionally lacking. Even the couples who came to adopt them said that such children might turn into monsters when they grew up...

Monsters!

Monsters!

The word monster flashed through the fatty's mind inadvertently, and then it seemed to take root in his brain! Then, the word monster was like a knife, stabbing him hard.

This stab also gave him a new perspective.

Could it be...that they wanted these kinds of children?

No, what they wanted was the monsters that these kinds of children would become when they grew up!!

Cold sweat began to break out on his forehead, and the fatty's mind was in a trance for a moment. He instinctively felt that this guess was too terrifying.

One Doctor is already so difficult to deal with, what if a dozen Doctors appeared together, and after he imagined it, a dozen completely blackened Doctors.

They wouldn't have the most basic emotions like Doctor because there was no ray of light like Lin Wan'er in their world.
