Chapter 510: Facing Farewell Soon
Although Song Dabai was young, he sensed something was up; Luolu seemed to have something hard to say.He blinked, reached out to hold Luolu’s small hand, and said, "Luolu, if you have something to say, just say it, I’m listening."
Luolu sniffled before slowly speaking:
"Here’s the thing, last week a couple came to visit our orphanage, and they decided to adopt me and take me abroad."
"Adopt?!" Lu Jinyan and Wen Duoduo both exclaimed in surprise.
Song Dabai didn’t quite understand the concept of adoption yet, so he tugged Wen Duoduo’s hand and asked, "Godmother, what does adoption mean?"
"Adoption means..."
Wen Duoduo pondered for two seconds before saying, "It means Luolu will have her own mom and dad, and from now on, she’ll live with them."
"Does it mean leaving the Imperial City?"
"Yes," Wen Duoduo nodded, "Luolu just mentioned that the couple lives abroad. Is that correct, Luolu?"
"Yes."
Luolu pouted sadly, and her tears fell like broken pearls, dropping down one after another.
"Dabai, I might...might never see you again."
Upon hearing Luolu’s words, Song Dabai was stunned.
A few seconds later, he snapped back to his senses and got mad.
"Luolu, I don’t want you to go, you mustn’t leave!"
He was very anxious and turned to Wen Duoduo, "Godmother, quickly call my mommy and ask her and daddy to adopt Luolu, hurry and make the call, hurry!"
He urged, pushing Wen Duoduo’s arm forcefully.
However, Luolu shook her head and said, "No, Ms. Liu said they’ve already decided, and I’ve agreed to go with that uncle and aunt. I don’t want to make everyone sad..."
Although the orphanage had always received a good amount of support from society, the number of children entering each year kept increasing, and if no one adopted them once they reached a certain age, their lives would be greatly affected.
Especially for a child like Luolu, who was of school age. Without adoption, she might not be able to study and receive the education she deserves.
So, this was the best solution that Ms. Liu could think of for her.
Luolu raised her small hand and wiped her tears, her fair, tender little face covered in tear stains, invoking pity.
"I...I’ll be leaving the Imperial City next week."
"What, next week? So soon!"
Not only was Song Dabai stunned, but even Lu Jinyan and Wen Duoduo were taken aback; everything was happening too fast.
Lu Jinyan frowned and said, "Luolu, what kind of people are that couple? Are they reliable? Don’t let yourself be deceived."
Luolu shook her head and said, "Ms. Liu from the orphanage said the uncle and aunt are very good. Because they haven’t had any children, they wanted to adopt one. Ms. Liu recommended me, and they came to the orphanage that day to see me..."
Hearing this, Lu Jinyan and Wen Duoduo were relieved.
Though it was regrettable, for a child like Luolu, being adopted by an educated, economically stable, and kind-hearted couple was the best outcome.
Wen Duoduo had also spent some time in the orphanage, so she understood that this was the best home for Luolu.
But at the same time, this meant Luolu and Song Dabai were about to face separation.
Song Dabai looked at Luolu in front of him, his lips slowly pouting. In an instant, tears filled his eyes, and soon they started to fall like a torrent.
"No! I don’t want Luolu to go! I don’t want Luolu to leave! Boo hoo, Luolu, can’t you stay?"
As he spoke, Song Dabai burst into tears.
