Chapter 008: Trouble

At 75 years old, Mrs. Samantha's physical condition is poor; however, compared to her peers, her condition is by no means the worst.

Compared to the former, Najin Tang is more inclined towards the latter

On this day, Najini Tang, as usual, took bus number 304 to the Angel Orphanage after parting ways with Mia at school

He gradually began to doubt that Mrs. Samantha's true intention in closing the Angel Orphanage was as she had previously stated to those parents, that she was old and could no longer manage it

What made Nagini Tang feel particularly unusual, even angry, was that behind Mrs. Samantha, he sensed the taste of fear

After nearly three months, with the last orphan finding a new family, the Angel Orphanage now carries the essence of only three individuals

Nagini Tang felt that the advice from his adoptive father, Owen, might have had the opposite effect. For a rebellious child, if you say east, he will go west; the more you say, the more determined he becomes.

As for Nagini Tang, he appears to be asleep, but in reality, he is not asleep at all

Six-year-old Najini Tang's appetite has already surpassed that of the adult Irvin and is on par with that of the developing Toledo

This causes Toledo's physique to strengthen at a visibly rapid pace; however, these foods, upon entering Nagini Tang's body, do not appear significant in human form.

However, the problem is that Najin Tang's sixth sense is too strong. To Wilson, it seems he is merely teasing a six-year-old brother, but in Najin Tang's eyes, it is akin to a fierce tiger, glaring at him intently, which makes one feel quite uncomfortable

She cannot and does not want to take this risk

However, after Wilson's reminder, Najin Tang discovered a problem that he had been neglecting all along

After his serpent-like form reached a length of 2.2 meters, his strength was already comparable to that of his peers. Now that his length is approaching 2.3 meters, it can be said that his strength is quite exceptional among children of the same age.

In the backyard of the Angel Orphanage, Najini Tang entered a storage room filled with miscellaneous items. Moments later, under the crimson sky of the afternoon, a 2.3-meter-long, entirely black venomous snake slithered out slowly.

However, it is unfortunate that Mrs. Samantha declines every time

The dark golden snake eyes glimmered with indifference

In her view, it was already quite good that Wilson could come to see her

This has almost become a regulation at the Angel Orphanage

It is not to say that Wilson poses any threat to himself; in fact, this seemingly wall-like robust man treats him well and employs some seemingly childish methods to amuse him

To know that in Toledo one can consume over 3 pounds of beef in a single meal, in addition to a large quantity of beer, bread, and vegetables

Both parties can dine together, can bathe together, and even Toledo does not reject Nagini Tang's proximity, yet he never speaks a word more to Nagini Tang.

That is the scent of Lady Samantha

Previously, she did not seek treatment because Mrs. Samantha was concerned that at the age of 75, there was a high possibility that she would lie on the operating table in the hospital and never come back down.

After listening to the conversation between Mrs. Samantha and Wilson, Najini Tang couldn't help but think of another question

Mrs. Samantha will not forget this; she knows what she likes. For the past three months, every Friday she has baked a tray of ladyfingers for herself

However, Toledo's attitude towards Najini Tang remains lukewarm.

Two days passed in a hurry, and Wilson still did not give up. He always conversed with Mrs. Samantha during the times when Nagini was no longer present, hoping to persuade her.

As long as Mrs. Samantha agrees, he is more than 70% confident that he can successfully treat Mrs. Samantha's liver cancer

Upon receiving this news, numerous thoughts flooded into Nagini Tang's mind, but the harsh reality poured a bucket of cold water over him, leaving him feeling despondent

Money is not an issue

There are two possibilities: one is that this is a unique scent belonging to Mrs. Samantha, and the other is that it is a disease, a very rare condition that does not occur in most people

But she never pays attention to these matters; she is a 75-year-old elderly woman who believes she has lived long enough, and moreover, she is aware of the severity of her illness

Oak Fruit Elementary School, one of the best elementary schools in Los Angeles, has been attended by Toledo, Mia, and Nagini Tang.

He is just a six-year-old child, what can he do

The communication between the two individuals is limited. Wilson has been feeling quite troubled lately, while Nagini Tang, due to an overly keen sixth sense, has to maintain a state of pressure in front of Wilson, which makes him feel very uncomfortable

If she is cured, she is already 75 this year, and she does not have many years left to live

Her reasoning is quite simple; if she goes to the hospital, her liver cancer might be cured, but there is also the possibility that she could die on the operating table

However, at the moment of getting off the car, Nagini Tang instinctively frowned

The growth in size has resulted in Nagini Tang's increasingly voracious appetite

It leaves one feeling quite helpless

The relationship between the two individuals is akin to that of familiar strangers

At the end of school, Najini Tang encountered Mia. The two had a good relationship, and Najini Tang's unique charm allowed Mia to completely accept him as her younger brother within just two months.

However, today, there is a strange scent here

At first, Najini did not consider the aspect of illness, as he did not believe that Mrs. Samantha's condition was poor. In his view, there are many elderly individuals aged 75, and even those under 70, whose physical condition is even worse than that of Mrs. Samantha

But what does it matter to know? What can one do by oneself?

Living under the same roof as a beast like Wilson, who is cloaked in human skin, is truly an unpleasant experience

No, she knew very early on that she was ill

That is why Nagini Tang goes to bed so early

That is the physical condition of Lady Samantha

She does not want the children from the orphanage to find her in the cemetery

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and it is Friday once again

In the early morning, Wilson and Nagini Tang took bus 304 to leave. Wilson departs every day, but he returns every night. The only difference today is that Wilson has Nagini Tang by his side.

In addition, today at the Angel Orphanage, there is no aroma of finger biscuits

Does Mrs. Samantha not know her situation

He cannot do anything because he is just a six-year-old child

The scent that she carries is quite unique, or rather, the scent of every individual is unique; however, the majority of people share similar scents. Even when there are differences, such discrepancies are not significant.

However, Mrs. Samantha is different; the scent on her is not similar to any of the thousands of scents recorded by Nagini Tang over the past two months

She is afraid, although she does not know what has happened, but Nagini Tang can be certain that an accident has definitely occurred at the orphanage

It is highly likely that the true reason Mrs. Samantha closed the Angel Orphanage is that she is suffering from a terminal illness

Nevertheless, life must go on day by day

But what if she dies on the operating table? What will happen to children like Nagini, Tang, and Wilson, who once lived in the orphanage, if they come back and cannot see her?

The flavor is not fixed; it will fade away over time

However, if no treatment is provided now, it would mean that Mrs. Samantha does not wish for Wilson to use his money to save an elderly woman who is of little benefit to society

The doctor will seek the best physician

Madam Director Samantha, Wilson, who was once a member of the orphanage but is now an adult, and Nagini Tang, who comes here to stay for two days every Friday night
