And Mako has a plan to add some new kids in the growing clan.
Chapter 29: Mako's Plot
At the Bao Gu Orphanage, Mako was leaving this one room after having a bit of a pep talk with this orphan and he said, "Just keep your head up, okay?"
Soon after, Mako leaves and walkes towards the hallway and he sees Ms. Fay coming by to see him and she said, "Mako...just the person I wanted to see. I need to talk to you for a second."
With that, Mako followed her all the way down to her sanctuary room and he sat down on the chair and he asked, "What is it?"
"How are things going with Mokani and Hachiko?" asked Ms. Fay.
"Things are going okay with them. They're starting to get used to being around us really well. The first few days, they weren't pretty sure about this...but as time went on, they got quite used to it. I just have to ask you...is it true that these two were adopted before?" asked Mako.
That question immediately surprised Ms. Fay because she never thought he'd actually know about it and she replied, "Yes, they were. They have been adopted before, but they were sent back here after a few days, weeks or even months. Most times, I never understood why they were being sent back as they did almost 9 times."
"9 times?" asked Mako, in shock.
"Yes. Never had I had an orphan be sent back more than once or twice before." Ms. Fay replied.
Mako was breathless in that response and he could not believe that they were being placed back to the orphanage after being adopted 9 times and he was angry with the adopted parents that adopted them at first and send them back and he just lets out a big sigh and said, "That's just awful."
"I know. That's why they believed that they would never have a family ever again." Ms. Fay stated.
He felt completely sorry for these two and just wanted to help them in any way possible and he turned to Ms. Fay and said, "Well, I know I wanna adopt these boys."
"Which is why I have the adoption forms for you." Ms. Fay added, bringing in the adoption papers.
Mako looks at them and reads it and he knew right in his heart that he would take them in and give them a permanent home and a big family for the holidays and with that, he signed the forms with zero hesitation and after that, Ms. Fay said, "You have a heart of gold, Mako."
"It's how I am." Mako answered.
Stick around to see what happens next!
