Chapter 1703 Coming Home
Micah quickly waved his hands, refusing the pastries.
It was fine to have a popsicle, but he couldn't accept these specially bought treats.
"It's alright!" Sally stuffed the pastries into Micah's hands. "I'm leaving tomorrow. These are all I can get for you."
"Leaving tomorrow?" Micah was momentarily surprised and then appeared somewhat despondent. "Well, have a safe journey."
"Oh, don't be sad. I'll come back again!" Sally reassured him when she saw his reaction.
Micah paused and hastily denied, "Mrs. Patterson, I'm not sad!"
"Alright, alright, you're not sad!" Sally quickly agreed.
Micah gave her a somewhat irritated look, then bowed toward her and left.
"He's quite childish!" Sally said, though her face wore a smile, "But in a cute way! How could his parents bear to send him to the church?"
Elijah remained silent for a moment. "His parents died in an accident when he was very young. His relatives refused to take him in, so he was sent to the church."
Sally's smile disappeared, replaced by a growing sadness. "When did that happen?"
"At that time, he was just a newborn baby."
Sally looked at Micah as he walked away.
Seeing how plump Micah was, Sally assumed he had been well taken care of when his parents were alive.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have this healthy look when the dining hall's food was barely palatable.
"Don't be too upset. Everyone has their own karma." Elijah comforted Sally, patting her head. "Get a good night's sleep, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning."
"Okay."
Sally nodded.
On the way back to their residence, Sally rapidly typed a message in her chat with Athena and Evie, describing Micah's unfortunate background.
