Chapter 1392
The man shook his head and said with a smile, "No problem, no problem, you guys can just take
her along with you as long as you wish."
The woman snuck a nce at us but said nothing. It seemed that she had no authority to say
anything in this house.
Sheridan had not spoken a word. After we finished speaking, he looked at the man and said, "Can
you please help me find a set of clean women''s clothes?"
The man paused for a moment before nodding repeatedly and said, "Okay, no problem. Wait for a
second!" Then he looked at the woman and said, "Go and get them some clothes."
The woman got up and went into another room. Bobbie was chatting with the man, and my eyes fell
on the group of children who were eating at the table.
They were wearing clothes that didn''t fit them well. Some of them wore a fewyers of dirty T-shirts,
and some were wearing ragged sweaters. It was clear that they were all wearing clothes just purely
to keep themselves warm. It seemed that they already had on all the clothes they could wear,
however, it wasn''t enough to keep them warm.
My gaze fell on the little girl who was squeezed into a corner and paused for a moment. The child
seemed to be only not more than three years old. Her cheeks were flushed due to the cold. Her
mouth was dirty from eating and her nose was snotty probably because of the cold weather. She
wiped her nose with her sleeve, but she didn''t wipe it clean enough, leaving a trail of mucus on both
her mouth and her spoon.
I couldn''t help but frown slightly. The woman returned with a set of clothes in her hand. Then, she
looked at me and said, "You can wear this."
I nodded and thanked her with a smile. Then I looked at her and said, "Can I borrow a pair of dry
shoes from you?" I had dirtied my shoes and pants when I came just now. It was really
ufortable to wear wet shoes in such a cold winter.
The woman nodded and went to look in the closet for a long time before she took out a pair of new
cloth shoes. However, looking from the style and appearance, it seemed that she had sewn this by
herself.
Seeing that the shoes were too thin, Sheridan frowned and asked, "Is there anything warmer than
this?"

The woman paused for a moment and shook her head, "This is all I have!"
I took the shoes with a smile and said my thanks. Then I changed into them and sat down beside
the stove to warm up. Hendrix called me. He had already called me several times, but I couldn''t pick
up because the signal was really bad. I could only send him a message informing him that I would
not be returning home tonight.
Seven or eight hours of driving was really too long.
Bobbie talked to the man for a while, then looked at me and said, "Miss Reid, you can go and take a
look at that child. If everything is okay, we will take Abby to Asherton tomorrow. In addition, you
need to transfer your daughter from the hospital in Jarold City to Asherton. Abby has no birth
certificate or identification at the moment, so we can only perform the operation in Asherton for the
time being."
I was still a little confused. The man got up, walked over to the youngest girl and wiped her nose
with his sleeve. Then, he looked at me andughed, "Miss Reid, look at Abby. Although she''s still
young, she''s very obedient and sensible. Also, she''s not afraid of pain. Take a look at her. Are you
satisfied with her?"
Abby didn''t know why the adults were talking about her like this. She just gave me a nk stare,
looking a little confused. She gave her father the same bewildered stare. Probably because she
wasn''t full yet, she picked up the spoon and stuffed a mouthful of cabbage into her mouth. In doing
so, she spilled vegetable soup all over herself.
