Chapter 98: What Kind of Joke Is This?
The day passed quickly, and the next morning, Kim Hyun-tae, Annie, his daughter, and Dave, who had arrived from the publishing house, set off for San Juan.
Compared to Kim Hyun-tae, who carried a cash check for 5 million, Dave's side did not come empty-handed, this guy got a lot of children's books, including Kim Hyun-tae's 'creation', William's fairy tale collection, ready to be given to the children in the orphanage.
Of course, considering that there are not many children in the convent of San Juan (orphanage), Dave is not exaggerating to make a lot of brains like a cart of books.
He didn't have a lot of books, but they were so varied that even a small library for the orphanage would be enough.
Kim Hyun-tae on the road to San Juan was very quiet and silent all the way.
Both Anne and Dave thought he was stuck in a 'painful' memory of the past, so they didn't bother him.
Little Coco was in the car, staring at the window with her forehead and looking at the passing street scene outside the window, looking carefree.
Kim Hyun-tae was very nervous at this time, because he didn't know if he would show any flaws when he arrived at San Juan.
It was because of this concern that he came all the way and seemed very silent and quiet, which eventually made Anne and Dave misunderstand him.
In fact, Kim Hyun-tae's current worries can also be understood.
After all, whoever does something like him will have the same reaction and worry as him.
The most important thing is that Kim Hyun-tae can't escape this question, after all, he has such a past in the 'life experience' of the United States in this time and space.
Then, as a person from an orphanage, after the BBC program was broadcast, if he didn't show a little attitude and action, it would be a little too much.
If you don't get it right, the little fame he just has now will fall to a low point because of this, and then become a negative example that everyone shouts at.
This is not an outcome that Kim Hyun-tae wants to see.
If he was alone, maybe he wouldn't care too much, but considering his daughter, Kim Hyun-tae would have to face this matter carefully.
After all, he is unlucky, and his daughter will be looked down upon by others.
In the future, when people mention their daughters, they will say who her father is and what bad things she has done, which will bring a lot of pressure and criticism to her daughter.
Even if her daughter can achieve some achievements in the future, if she is a father who leaves a black history, won't she be holding her back?
Kim Hyun-tae weighed it again and again, and decided that he would come to San Juan again no matter what, and come up with a gesture to deal with the little trouble that the BBC had brought to him after the show was broadcast.
It is equivalent to saying that Kim Hyun Tae wants to strangle the hidden dangers invisibly, and at the same time bear the pressure on himself, saving his daughter from being affected in the future because of his own relationship.
In fact, for a choice like this, any parent would make the same measurement as Kim Hyun-tae.
Therefore, we have to admit that my father is indeed the most selfless group of people in the world, and his kind of hard work towards his two daughters is definitely the deepest in the world.
As a single father, Kim Hyun-tae certainly thinks the same way.
Kim Hyun-tae, who has a big brain, has already thought about things too badly and too badly, which shows that this matter makes him really annoyed and hesitant.
------ Dividing Line------
San Juan is located just north of Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and is located in the San Fernando Valley, the most famous Los Angeles adult film and television stronghold, with the largest concentration of small movie businesses.
Basically, more than 8 out of 18 banned small movies in the United States are made in this place.
Even in this place, more than 7 percent of adult movie websites have set up headquarters.
For this reason, it is also known as the land of eroticism.
Because the adult film and television industry here is extremely developed, and there are many small film companies, it will inevitably be involved with some black channels, so this picturesque and peaceful town is actually very bad.
The problems of narcotics, sexuality, violence, and gangs are all very conspicuous.
And Kim Hyun Tae 'grew up' in such a chaotic place, fortunately Kim Hyun Tae did not become a gang member or an addict because of the influence of the general environment, but just became a single father.
Therefore, Anne and Dave who came here felt lucky.
You must know that many young people live in such an environment, and it is difficult to be able to stand alone.
Most of the time, especially people like Kim Hyun-tae, who came from an orphan's background, often start rolling around in the gang and become regular visitors to the police station when they are in junior high school.
Once such teenagers grow up, they often really embark on the black road of no return, either dying on the streets or being arrested and imprisoned, and there is basically no second way to go.
Such examples are not uncommon in the United States, especially in poorer black communities with serious gang problems, or communities inhabited by Mexican smugglers.
So from this point of view, Kim Hyun-tae is just a single father, which is really not a big deal.
The San Juan Convent (orphanage) is located in the southern suburbs of the San Juan area, close to the local Mexican enclave where a large number of people smuggled to the United States and finally became black.
The monastery was founded in the 19th century by a French missionary, so the architecture of the monastery as a whole has a strong French Baroque style of the 19th century.
Originally, the purpose of this monastery was only to serve the local residents as worship services, but somehow it slowly developed, and now this monastery has become a local orphanage.
Many children who have been abandoned or homeless due to one or another factor have been taken into the convent, and the nuns and grandmothers here have naturally taken on the responsibility of taking care of the children.
Of course, due to the extremely limited funds and resources of the monastery, the number of children in the shelter is not very large, and after some of the children left when they reached the age of 15, there are only fifty or sixty children who remain in the orphanage.
Some of the children who live here have been abandoned by their parents because of their disabilities, and some of them have been taken away from their parents by local child protection organizations after addicts have lost their ability to care for them.
In some cases, after the death of their parents, they have nowhere to go because they have no relatives, so the local government is the decision and sent to live in orphanages, which is basically the case for most children here.
Arriving at the monastery, Kim Hyun-tae arrived at the nuns' office with Anne and Dave with trepidation.
After entering the door, there was only one middle-aged nun in the office, and Dave walked in with Kim Hyun-tae and Anne holding Coco, and said hello to the middle-aged nun at the same time.
"Hello, I'm Dave from California Press, and I've already contacted you yesterday and said I'm coming over today. ”
However, the middle-aged nun ignored Dave, but looked at Kim Hyun-tae fixedly, looking a little excited.
"William, William, is that you?"
Well, looking at the other party's reaction, it is obvious that they know themselves.
Kim Hyun-tae silently mourned for himself in his heart, and reminded himself in his heart to be cautious in the face of this kind of 'acquaintance'.
Since Kim Hyun Tae didn't know the other party, he couldn't call the other party by name, but Kim Hyun Tae nodded at the other party very shrewdly: "Yes, I'm back." I didn't call each other at all.
"William, poor boy, you are still so compassionate, we have all seen the media reports, you saved a girl, subdued a thug, you are good, we all know you are good. ”
The middle-aged grandmother walked over, chattering non-stop, and at the same time gave Kim Hyun Tae a warm hug.
"The newspaper said you were shot three times and almost stopped your heart at one point, and you don't know how worried we were about you when we learned the news. Now that I see you like this, I can finally rest assured. ”
After hugging for a while, the middle-aged grandmother let go of her arms, took Kim Hyun-tae's arms with both hands, and began to look at him very carefully.
Kim Hyun Tae continued to smile on the surface: "Let you all worry, my body is slowly recovering now, as long as there is a little more time to recover." ”
"That's good! That's good!"
The concerned look on the middle-aged grandmother's face didn't look like a fake, and it could be seen that she really cared about Kim Hyun-tae.
She slowly let go of her hand, a look of embarrassment.
"Come on, the little ones knew you were coming back yesterday, so everyone was waiting for you. ”
After chatting with Kim Hyun-tae, the middle-aged nun took him by the hand and walked out of the office, telling him that many of his 'friends' were looking at him.
This made Kim Hyun-tae a little crying and laughing.
Kim Hyun-tae's return soon spread throughout the monastery, and under the guidance of the middle-aged mother, Kim Hyun-tae and his party left the office and came to the backyard of the monastery, where the children lived.
When Kim Hyun-tae, who was held by a middle-aged nun, appeared, the children who were still playing in the backyard suddenly surrounded him, making him the focus of the children.
Kim Hyun-tae, who was surrounded by children, began to face the gossip greetings of the little ones and some strange questions.
In the face of all this, Kim Hyun Tae dealt with it very cautiously, but there were no problems or mistakes.
The middle-aged nun saw that Kim Hyun Tae was happy with his 'friend', so she slowly stepped aside, and Dave and Anne, who was holding Coco, walked over and chatted with the nun.
Kim Hyun-tae, who was careful to deal with the 'little friend' here, took out some useful information from the children without a trace, and silently memorized it in his heart.
After getting a lot of information from the orphanage, Kim Hyun-tae relaxed and the smile on his face became brighter.
Kim Hyun-tae's reaction looked at the middle-aged nun on the side, as well as Dave and Annie's eyes, but made the three of them think that this was Kim Hyun-tae's true feelings after returning to his hometown and seeing his friends.
Kim Hyun-tae, who was relaxed, communicated with the children and 'acquaintances' and answered some of their questions, while secretly pondering in his heart: "What means did that alien elementary school student use to let himself have a little friend?"
Watching these children behave, it's as if they really know themselves. I have some delusions now. ”
It is true that Kim Hyun-tae cannot be blamed for thinking so, this matter is indeed a little weird inside and out.
While he was thinking about it, one of Kim Hyun-tae's 'old acquaintances', Selena, a fourteen-year-old Hispanic girl in the orphanage, shouted at Kim Hyun-tae: "William, did you come back this time to bring us a lot of fun things and delicious things? ”
Hearing this, Kim Hyun Tae looked over, and when he saw the appearance of this girl, he was slightly flustered.
Because of the appearance of this girl called 'Selena', Kim Hyun-tae thought of the girl who was also named Selena in another time and space.
Looking at this Hispanic girl who looks extremely similar and sweeter than her, Kim Hyun-tae doesn't know what words to use to describe how she feels now.
Old George has a familiar face, but how can I meet another one here?
Although the 'monstrous waves are rolling endlessly' in his heart, he can't see anything on his face calmly, which shows that Kim Hyun-tae still has some skills.
Putting away his cranky thoughts, Kim Hyun-tae smiled brightly at the girl, and his sunny and hearty smile shook the deer in the girl's heart.
Oops, Brother William is still so handsome.
Looking at Kim Hyun-tae's refreshing and handsome smile, the girl named Selena blushed.
"I'm coming back to Mama Masalinda to ask about my mother, and of course, I've brought you a lot of good things, and I'd like to donate some money to the monastery to improve your living conditions and environment, after all, I'm here too. ”
Hearing Kim Hyun-tae say this, this Latina girl named Selena suddenly had a sweet smile on her face, a pair of big brown watery eyes looked at Kim Hyun-tae without blinking, looked left and right at the children around her, and then shouted: "Brother William hasn't forgotten his original promise, Nana knows that Brother William will definitely do it." ”
Well!?
What's going on, and what's the stalk?
Kim Hyun-tae looked at the excited little girl, and his heart was suddenly confused.
