Chapter 461 The Little Girl Named Alva
Sylvia''s POV:
I motioned Flora to follow me into the orphanage.
Barlow looked hesitant at first, but he followed us in and didn''t stop us.
The children in the orphanage were ying outdoor games. Theyughed, cheered, and yed
with such good behavior, under the guidance of their teachers. Looking around, I couldn''t find
anything wrong.
"Do you want me to show you around?" Barlow asked.
One teacher also came over in a hurry, wanting to entertain us.
I felt a little embarrassed and didn''t want to bother them.
"Nothing seems unusual here. Should we go back? We don''t want to disturb the kids," Flora
whispered in my ear.
I nodded. Just when I was about to turn around and leave, I heard something that stopped me.
Someone said the name Alva, the same name I had seen on the wall in the sewerst night.
I followed the direction of the voice and saw a cute little girl who had fallen to the ground.
The voice came from a teacher. She was about to help the girl up.
I walked over and helped the girl up myself. "Are you okay?"
The little girl was very cute and looked clean. She wore a pink dress and her hair was tied up in two
buns, held up by red strawberry pins.
But I noticed that she seemed blind. There was no light in her big eyes, which also could not focus
on anything.
The little girl reached out in the air, trying to find where I was.
Hastily, I reached out my finger to touch her hand. "I''m right here."
The little girl smiled and said sweetly, "Thank you, youngdy."
Iughed and asked softly, "How did you know I''m a youngdy? What if I''m an olddy?"
The little girl tucked her hands behind her and tilted her head to the side. "Alva''s intuition is most
urate."
My heart softened. I crouched down and patted her head. "Is Alva your name? That''s beautiful.
You''re the smartest indeed."
From what she said, I confirmed that her name was indeed Alva, the same name on the sewer wall.
Still, more than one girl could be named Alva.
I wasn''t sure how to inquire for more information. Since Barlow was still around, I obviously couldn''t
ask directly right now.
The teacher smiled at me. "Thank you."

I stood up and returned a polite smile. "No problem. She is a very cute kid."
"She is. Unfortunately, she cannot see." The teacher sighed.
"May I ask what happened? Did she acquire it?" I asked quietly.
The teacher shook her head. "She''s been blind since birth. There''s just no cure."
I looked down at Alva, who was still standing obediently by her teacher. My heart ached.
After some conversation, the teacher nned to take Alva back.
I didn''t know when I was going to have this opportunity again, so I hurriedly asked, "I like Alva a lot.
Can you maybe let us y with her for a little longer?"
I saw the teacher look at Barlow with hesitation. They seemed to know each other, as they had
been looking at each other a few times since we got here.
After hesitating for a while, Barlow finally nodded.
Happily, I picked Alva up and walked to the yground. I was going to let her y on the slide.
After a while, I gave Flora a secret wink while Barlow was not looking. Immediately, Flora
understood and sprang into action. She shivered and eximed that she was having a stomach
ache. She asked Barlow to take her to the doctor.
Unsuspecting of anything, Barlow hurriedly took Flora to the doctor.
I also managed to send the teacher away with a few words.
Once they were all gone, I now had an opportunity to talk to Alva.
"Alva, do you know someone named Felix?" I asked softly.
Alva''s face lit up at the mention of the name. She excitedly leaned forward and said, "That''s my
brother! Do you know my brother? I haven''t heard his voice in two days."
