A New Family

"Oh! You want to visit the orphanage?" Missus Blake looked at Leona with shock and delight. Her voice contained suppressed excitement as she waited for the woman to confirm it. 

Leona flinched, a wave of guilt washed her heart but she tightened her heart and surprised the thoughts as she nodded.

"Yes, it had been long since her ladyship had visited the orphanage. Once the festival ends, we will visit the orphanage." she nodded her head stiffly when she noticed the glistening eyes of the warden.

"Your ladyship had to constantly send help. We had nothing to complain about. But it would be an honor if she came and visited the kids. They would be delighted to know about it." the woman exclaimed with a broken sob as she took out her handkerchief and wiped the unshed tears from her eyes. But Leona's eyes narrowed.
