After the old duke left, Catherine sighed pretentiously and looked at Anna triumphantly.

"Miss Anna, it seems we can't conduct the search today. Thank you for your hard work, officers."

Anna sneered, "Catherine, don't be too proud too soon, everything is still unknown."

Anna glanced at Taoyao and said, "Chris, let's go back."

Tao Yao nodded, Edward stood silently by, pushed the wheelchair, and the three of them left the orphanage.

After they left, Catherine swept the things on the table to the ground with a grim expression, and stared at the figures outside the window with a cold gaze.

"Anna, let's see what you have to fight me, stupid woman."

Tao Yao saw that Anna was a little disappointed, "Mom, are you unhappy?"

Anna cheered herself up and shook her head. "No, Chris, do you think Mom is useless? Mom can't even punish the bad guys and can't help those children. But it's true. Mom couldn't even protect Chris, and let you be hurt by the bad guys."

Tao Yao felt very sad seeing her so lost. Although she had only been in this body for a few days, Anna was really a good mother. However, she had a fatal flaw: she was too soft-hearted. She always naively imagined that everything in the world was beautiful like a fairy tale.

The old duke protected her too well. She had never seen the dark side of the world, and she had no idea how ugly human nature could sometimes be.

Taoyao shook her head in denial, and used a warm smile to soothe her wounded heart.

"Anna is the best and most wonderful mother in the world. I have never blamed her. I know she loves me the most. Don't be sad, Mom. I believe you can drive away all the bad guys."

After Tao Yao finished speaking, she turned around and grabbed Edward's sleeve.

"Brother, do you feel the same way?"

Edward nodded gently, "Madam, he is a very good person."

What Edward said was not a lie. He had seen too many different kinds of people in the orphanage. Not to mention the adults, just the children, even among the children of a few years old there were some born bad ones. They did not know good and evil and had no boundaries in doing things.

Even if he kills someone, he will just look up at the corpse with an innocent face and play with it innocently.

Anna touched Taoyao's cold little face with emotion and looked at Edward with gratitude. She knew that Edward was introverted and didn't like to talk. She almost listened to Angel's words and sent him away.

But the child never blamed her, which was enough to show that Edward was a good boy. It seemed that she made the right choice.

As soon as they returned to the hospital, Anna sent Taoyao to the ward and hurried away to do her work, leaving Edward to take care of Taoyao.

Tao Yao stared at the ceiling with her eyes open. Anna asked her to have a good rest, but she couldn't sleep at all. She felt that Anna alone could not expose Catherine and make the old duke completely give up on Catherine and bring her to justice.

But her power was too small now. What could a ten-year-old girl do? Even if she said a few more profound words, people would doubt her.

Tao Yao sighed and lay on the pillow in a depressed mood. Edward saw that she was unhappy and put the book in his hand beside the bed.

"Chris, are you worried about the lady?"

Tao Yao nodded and looked at him, "Edward, how do you think Mom should prove herself to Grandpa? I'm a little worried about her."

Edward tilted his head in confusion. He didn't understand why Chris was bothered by this matter. Although Anna was spoiled and naive, she was raised with the education of the aristocratic elite. If she really wanted to defeat Catherine, she could just use some connections and get a few children to promote her.

"Chris, don't you believe the lady?"

Tao Yao sighed, "Edward, I'm just worried, not that I don't believe you. I'm just worried that Mom is working too hard."

Edward didn't understand Taoyao's worry about Anna. He had no parents and didn't understand the feeling of worrying about loved ones, but now he would worry about what Taoyao was worried about.

"Chris, how about we help Madam complete this task together?"

Tao Yao was a little surprised that Edward would take the initiative to offer to help Anna, and she nodded.

"Okay, let's go find Mom."

Anna changed her clothes and was about to visit Mrs. Whitt. She saw Edward pushing Taoyao over and she smiled gently at Taoyao.

"Chris, can you let Edward stay with you? Mom has something to do today, but I will be back early and make you your favorite cream of mushroom soup, okay?"

Anna thought Taoyao missed her, so she let Edward stay with her so that she could do her own things with peace of mind.

Tao Yao shook her head. "Mom, Edward and I want to help you. We want to go with you."

After Taoyao finished speaking, Anna frowned with some disapproval. She knew that Taoyao was very sensible and wanted to share her burden, but she didn't want Taoyao to go out with her. It was still too dangerous outside. Taoyao's legs were not convenient, what if something happened?

Tao Yao naturally knew her concerns. She shook Anna's arm and acted coquettishly towards her in an attempt to get her to agree.

"Mom, don't worry, Edward and I will be very good. We will definitely not cause you any trouble. Just take me and take us there, okay? Please."

Anna still softened her heart and thought again, even in this hospital it is not safe. Angel broke into Taoyao's room so blatantly last night and almost hurt her. Who knows if there will be another person as hypocritical as Angel? She can feel at ease to keep her by her side.

"Okay then, you can follow me, but if Chris feels uncomfortable, you must tell your mother immediately, okay?"

Taoyao nodded, "Okay, Mom."

Anna brought Taoyao and Edward to Mrs. Whitt's residence. Mrs. Whitt's residence was very simple. Normally, a big family like theirs should have their own manor, but Mrs. Whitt's residence was just a small two-story villa.

The garden outside the villa was overgrown with weeds. Tao Yao found it very strange. It seemed that the house was deliberately arranged like this, as if it was deliberately preserving some memories.

Anna knocked on the door and a young maid opened it.

"Hello, is Mrs. Whitt here? I'm Anna from the VON family. Please let her know I'm visiting."

A weak female voice came from behind.

"come in."

After entering the house, Tao Yao became more convinced of her idea. This place was definitely kept like this on purpose. The furniture in the house was very retro. Next to the blue velvet sofa was a white cradle with a little mouse doll in it.

There is only a family portrait of three people on the wall. The young and beautiful woman is holding a cute pink and white baby in her arms, and the tall and handsome blond man is hugging the woman's shoulders intimately. This photo gives people a very warm feeling, but who would have thought that behind the warmth lies a heartbreaking fact.
