In an effort to improve the lives of the orphans there, Emily invested a large sum to enhance their meals. This initiative made the orphanages in Perthter City—a model not only for the country but for the world, attracting numerous visitors who came to learn from them.
At the same time, Emily also paid close attention to cases of abducted children. Whenever she heard that the police had found missing children, she would travel long distances to offer her assistance. But each time, she went with hope and returned in disappointment.
Her husband, Quintis, steadfastly supported her efforts. He even expanded the scope of aid from Perthter City to the entire province. With the strong backing of Sandalwood Group, orphanages throughout the province were significantly improved. However, despite all their efforts, there was still no breakthrough.
Years passed, and still, they had no leads on their son.
Eventually, Emily began to accept the cruel reality. She shifted her focus to helping Quintis expand Sandalwood Group's business. At the same time, she brought her nephew Tristan into the group, raising him as her own.
As she reflected on these past years, Emily felt a mix of emotions.
At that moment, after finishing looking through the photos of her son from birth to five years old, Emily sighed softly and was about to close the photo album and leave the room. But then, she noticed something glinting on the windowsill—metal.
It was the key she had been searching for earlier!
Emily was startled as she realized that the key, still attached to the keychain, was intact, with a small layer of dust on it. It was clear that it had been here for some time.
She froze, suddenly remembering that when she came earlier to clean the room, she had wedged the key against the window to keep it from blowing open in the wind. After finishing cleaning, she must have forgotten about it and closed the door.
