It was a radiant Thursday morning, the first day of the new year. The gentle breeze caressed the surroundings, while the trees swayed joyfully. It was as though the atmosphere seemed elated for the arrival of a new child.Mr. Carter woke up with a sense of anticipation and happiness. He eagerly looked forward to meeting his new child. He promptly reached for his phone and dialed the orphanage to remind them of his visit."Sir, how could we possibly forget such an esteemed adopter like yourself?" The caregiver, Kate, praised him."We have reserved the most well-behaved children for you. All you need to do is make your choice, and we'll do everything in our power to fulfill your wishes," Kate pushed further.She had to convince him so he wouldn't call off his appointment like he did the last time.This wasn't the first time the Carters were trying to adopt a child.

She had to put up a scene because she didn't want it to be obvious that she was happy with the turnout of events. Ryan, on the other hand, felt a strange mix of emotions. Confusion, sorrow, and guilt engulfed him. "Maybe I am the cause of this death," he thought to himself. "Ever since I stepped foot into this family, they have never been happy."He came close and tried to console Anna, but she pushed him so hard he regretted going close in the first place.
