Inside the convent

- Where are we going? Why aren't we following Manoban? - Jennie asked as she and Sister Ana walked through the long corridors of the place. If it had been for her, she would have already run after the brunette, but the little nun who accompanied her was going at a very calm peace. The gift and the famous blue box had never ceased to be in Jennie's arms.

Sister Ana looked at her and smiled at her - Calm daughter - she calmed her down- We're working on it, Lisa must have already reached the place I'm taking you - she clarified.

- What exactly is this place? A convent or a children's home? - Asked the kitten eyes desperate for answers. - Well, they both work perfectly. Taking care of children is a part of the charitable work that we do from the convent. - the sister explained

- Look after? What do you mean by that? Are they only here for a while? - The businesswoman wanted to get into the subject.

- Well, most of them have families, although because the parents cannot take care of them permanently, we house them for a while until that situation changes - she explained - Meanwhile, every weekend each child returns to his family. Then we take care of their education and care during the week, as a kind of home school - Jennie was impressed by the latter - There are others who, although they have family, do Lisa see it as often and others who are orphans and live with us - she added - As This is the case of most of the boys you saw today and as was the case with Lisa - Faced with this information, Jennie stopped short.

- Manoban is.... is.... I mean, doesn't she have parents? - Asked surprised.

Sister Ana looked at Jennie cautiously and shook her head at this question - I think it's better that we keep walking - she took the kitten eyes's arm to give her a little push.

Jennie just looked at her and continued walking next to her, she had understood that the woman did not want to touch on that subject, but that did not prevent her from finding out other things - So... Lisa was here? - The Interrogation returned.

The woman, without leaving her smile, nodded - From the age of 14 more or less - she commented - She ran away several times - she remembered - but in the end she always came back, and my sister and I were able to convince her that she will stay - she said at the end.

- Is your sister a nun too? - It had nothing to do with the initials questions but she wanted to get rid of the doubt.

Surprisingly, Sister Ana laughed - Excuse me, it's that..... Jane is not a nun. not at all - she explained as they approached a wooden door - Because we didn't enter any better - she painted to the entrance

The nun opened the door and let Jennie pass. The kitten eyes didn't go much further, she stared at the huge room in front of her, which was filled with single beds side by side separated by a small space. Only when her sight reached the back of the room, Jennie could see the brunette sitting on the last bed caressing the back of some boy who was tucked between the bedding, Jennie could not distinguish if it was a boy or a girl. Around Lisa and the little body were another nun and a nurse.

- Beth - the sister gave Jennie a hand to understand

That? - although the kitten eyes was more lost than ever.

- The girl who is in the bed with Lisa - painted to the back of the room - her name is Beth, she is four years old and she is Lisa's weakness - she explained calmly - The girl who is in bed with Lisa - Since they saw each other, they understood each other perfectly - she added.
