Several older orphans were reading with the younger children, from the "Alphabet Book" compiled by the Red Tide Academy.
Wooden plaques hung on the walls, engraved with the motto: "Everyone is a child of the Red Tide."
Alina stood for a long time. This was Louis's instruction, that all orphans should receive basic education and, if they wished, could enter various fields of the Red Tide in the future.
At this moment, a little girl ran over, holding a garland in her hands, her eyes sparkling: "Madam! We bought this flower with today's snack money!"
Alina paused for a moment, took the garland, and smiled as she patted her head: "Thank you, it's really beautiful."
At this moment, she remembered how Emily used to smile when she was young, with the same expression.
