Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Too Many Mysteries
Grandpa Zheng was highly skilled in medicine, and though he could have worked in a place with great benefits, he was kind-hearted and chose to stay here, silently taking care of these unfortunate orphans in his own way.
Lin Qi looked at Han, who was holding a box with a desolate expression. It was clear that he was very sad and tears were about to fall from his eyes.
She asked, “What’s in the box?”
The Nanny shook her head, “I don’t know, it was left for Han. We haven’t opened it.”
She added sadly, “Han must be very upset. After all, Grandpa Zheng treated him the best, and was the closest person to him in the orphanage. We didn’t know how to break the news to him.”
Lin Qi asked, “How was Grandpa Zheng’s funeral handled?”
The Nanny replied, “Grandpa Zheng had no children or other relatives. He donated all his remaining money to the orphanage. He didn’t leave much of a will, but he made clear that when he died, he wanted his body and organs donated to a medical school.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi was deeply moved.
No wonder Han was such a gentle and kind-hearted person because Grandpa Zheng was also gentle and kind-hearted.
She walked over quietly and gently touched his hair, “Han, this is what Grandpa Zheng left for you, open it and see.”
Han nodded.
He opened the box, and Lin Qi and Huo Tingdong looked inside.
The box was neatly packed with many items.
There were many medical books from Grandpa Zheng’s lifetime, and also some toys he had bought for Han.
There were dolls, rattle drums…
These were all things that Han hadn’t managed to take with him when he was taken away, and Grandpa Zheng had carefully kept them.
And there was…
A photo.
The only photo Han took with Grandpa Zheng at the orphanage, which Grandpa Zheng had carefully sealed and framed, wiped clean of any dust.
Tears shimmered in Han’s eyes as he held the frame, resting his little face against it, tears sadly sliding down.
Lin Qi crouched down and gently pinched Han’s chubby little hand, “Han, don’t be sad. Although Grandpa Zheng is no longer here, he will always care for you and watch over you from heaven.”
Suddenly, Han started crying loudly, “I miss Grandpa Zheng…”
Huo Tingdong felt heartache.
He had never seen Han cry so sadly before.
He held the frame in his arms, tears rolling down one by one, forming a stream.
In the office.
Huo Tingdong was holding Han, who nestled in his arms, still tightly holding the frame, cried until tired, and then fell asleep.
Lin Qi and the Nanny sat facing each other, talking about Han’s situation, the Nanny smiled, “Grandpa Zheng really adored Han, perhaps because he found Han adorable and felt sorry for him being bullied in the orphanage. As a charity, we rely partly on government subsidies and partly on social donations, and with so many children in the orphanage, it’s not possible to give detailed attention to each one…”
Lin Qi asked, “How did Han end up in the orphanage?”
The Nanny replied, “It’s unclear. Han was brought here by the police who found him by the roadside. They thought he had been separated from his parents, posted notices searching for them, but it was as if they vanished into thin air. After keeping him in the police station for half a month and failing to find his parents, they sent him here.”
Lin Qi then asked, “Nowadays, DNA technology is so advanced…”
The Nanny said, “We also tried to find Han’s biological parents. Later, we took a blood sample from Han and sent it to the DNA database, and that’s how we found Han’s biological father, Mr. Huo.”
Lin Qi frowned, “What about Han’s biological mother?”
Huo Tingdong said, “Couldn’t match.”
Initially, he suspected Lin Qi had given birth to the child and abandoned him, thus, he also sent Lin Qi and Han’s DNA samples for verification.
However, the results proved they were not biologically related.
And Han’s background became even more mysterious.
Before his marriage to Lin Qi, his romantic life was a blank slate, and after divorcing Lin Qi, he never had any intimate relations with any woman.
Lin Qi’s pregnancy was due to a surgery arranged by the Old Lady.
How Han came about remained a mystery.
If the search in the DNA database yielded no results, there was only one possibility, Han’s biological mother’s sample had not been registered in the DNA database.
Lin Qi looked at Lili, who snuggled by her side, clinging tightly to her sleeve, clearly very fond of Lin Qi and wanting to go home with her, but she was too well-behaved and sensible to dare to make such a request openly.
Lin Qi also liked Lili very much. Now, with Lili sent to the orphanage, her mother gone and her father not recognizing her, she was utterly alone.
She asked, “Can the children in the orphanage be adopted?”
The Nanny replied, “Yes, but processing the adoption requires certain conditions.”
The conditions for adoption included: first, the ability to support a child; second, not suffering from any medically recognized conditions that should prevent one from adopting; third, at least 30 years old; fourth, having no children of their own.
The conditions weren’t too harsh; aside from these mandatory requirements, there were other supplementary conditions.
For example: It’s best if the adoptive parents are a married couple.
The Nanny asked, “Miss Lin, are you thinking about adopting Lili?”

Lin Qi replied, “I have that intention.”
The Nanny nodded, looking at Momo by her side, “This is your son, right?”
Lin Qi nodded.
“Are you unmarried?”
Lin Qi replied, “Currently divorced.”
The Nanny tactfully said, “Miss Lin, I am moved by your kindness. I think, with your conditions, being able to raise your son so well, you can certainly provide a warm home for Lili. But… you currently don’t meet our adoption criteria.”
Lili raised her head as if she understood, her eyes flickered slightly with sadness, then she lowered her head again.
Lin Qi said, “It’s alright. If I can’t adopt, I will still come to visit Lili often.”
Lin Qi and Huo Tingdong left the welfare institute.
Huo Tingdong carried Han to the car, and Lin Qi also carried Momo into the car.
Momo asked, “Mommy, do you want to adopt that little girl?”
Lin Qi replied, “Yes. But it’s just an idea, I also wanted to ask for Momo’s opinion.”
Momo curiously tilted his little head, “Why do you want to adopt Lili?”
Lin Qi replied, “Because Lili is very unfortunate, her mom died, and her dad didn’t want her.”
Momo said, “If you want to adopt the little girl, I agree.”
Lin Qi said, “Mommy knew Momo would agree, but Mommy still doesn’t meet the adoption conditions.”
Her feelings were mixed; on one hand, she very much wanted to take care of Lili, but on the other hand, this had to be considered carefully, as adopting a child means being responsible for the child’s life.
