Listening to Mira's sincere words made her genuinely happy.
Not everyone possessed such gratitude.
Many people would have accepted help and considered it their right, but Mira was different.
She remembered every act of kindness. Soon, Mira finished composing herself and returned inside.
After having lunch, she immediately began searching for various part-time jobs.
Now that she was finally free from the orphanage, she felt more hopeful than ever.
As long as she worked hard for the next two years, took as many part-time jobs as possible, and prepared for scholarship examinations, she was confident she could build a future for herself.
Thinking about the scholarship she had once been offered caused a bitter expression to appear on her face.
Back then, she had desperately wanted to accept.
However, because of the orphanage director's refusal, she had been forced to reject the opportunity.
Remembering that incident still hurts.
Still, she refused to let the past hold her back.
