Author's POV

"What happened to you, sweetie? Why are you crying?"
Marona cooed Sabrina but she was crying continuously.

Mikhail came out from his closet after getting ready for the day and noticed her struggling with the girl.
"I am leaving for the day."

Sabrina stopped crying and tried to look at the direction of the voice while moving her tiny eyes as she couldn't roll her head yet.

Mikhail smirked realising that the baby reacts to his voice.
"I'll be back in the evening."

Marona looked at him and the girl, confused.
"Okay, but___"

"But?"
He kept talking so Sabrina could hear his voice which would be enough for the day.
"Why are you confused?"

She shook her head and kept caressing the girl.
"Nothing but I was wondering why she stopped crying suddenly."

Mikhail chuckled.
"I don't know... I am getting late, I am living."

Marona nodded.
"Okay, take care and come back soon."

"Okay, bye!"
He kissed her head and looked at the baby who was smiling at him, he didn't kiss her head but smiled back amused and left for the day.

Marona frowned at Sabrina.
"How did you stop crying, little devil? And you are smiling now! What happened, woman?"

Mikhail met Jeh outside.
"Thankfully, she stays close... I had to bribe the staff to give us her address..."
Jeh informed.

"Are you sure that she was the one who was the manager when Miguel was in the orphanage?"
Mikhail asked.

"Yes, it was the same year when his mother died."
Jeh confirmed.
"And this is Miguel's sketch... I hope it matches your description."

Mikhail zoomed the screen.
"Yes, almost... It will work!"

He got inside the car and Jeh drove to the destination. The house wasn't far from the city, so they reached there quickly.

Mikhail got out and looked at the house. It was a simple house with an unattended garden. The trees were growing at heights and grass was spreading wild.

He rang the bell and the old woman opened the door.
"Yes?"
She was wearing glasses, face was full of wrinkles and she was taking the help of the cane to stand.

"Mrs. Karla?"
Mikhail asked.

"Yes!"
She confirmed.

"I believe that you were a manager at St. Justin orphanage..."
He saw her confused expressions changing visibly.

"What about that?"
She sounded offended.

"I want to inquire about one boy. Miguel Dorothy!"
Mikhail frowned at her changed behaviour.

"I don't know what you are talking about..."
She quickly closed the door and Mikhail closed his eyes to control his anger.

"She definitely knows something!"
He cursed and was about to kick open the closed door but Jeh stopped him.

"What are you doing, Bro? She is old, god forbid if she gets a heart attack with your violent behaviour."
Jeh tried to calm him down.

Mikhail groaned annoyed.
"Then bring her in front of me and make her speak... I am not tolerating shit from this woman..."

Jeh nodded and rang the bell again. He rang the bell multiple times and finally a girl opened the door.
"What do you want?"
She asked madly.
"Why the hell are you harassing us? Don't you understand that we don't want to talk to anyone?"
