After hanging up the phone with Old Madam, Jaylene Ziel felt an unbearable headache, knowing that there were only ten days left until the child's hundred-days banquet, and her relatives from Bay City were expected to come over, but—
Thea was still unaccounted for, known only to be in the orphanage, but nearly two months had passed and they had searched through numerous orphanages without a trace of Thea.
This was indeed a headache-inducing matter; before now, she and Joseph Thompson had been hoping to find Thea by the time of the child's hundred-days banquet.
But now—
Relatives from Bay City were coming over, and while a hundred-days banquet was normally a joyous occasion, how could she and Joseph feel happy when Thea was still missing?
It was certain that they couldn't hold the banquet; how could they celebrate grandly when Thea was still in the orphanage?
"Wah, wah, wah...." Wayne's crying finally pulled her from her thoughts.
