Meeting Mrs. Thompson
Inside the orphanage, Jake sat down with Mrs. Thompson, who recalled him clearly from his earliest days. “You were always such a quiet baby,” she said, her voice full of fondness.
A wave of gratitude swept over Jake for this woman who had cared for him during such a vulnerable time. “There’s something here that belongs to you,” she continued.
She led him to a small room filled with boxes—each labeled, each containing forgotten pieces of the past. “These came with you when you were brought to us.”
