America 1919-Chapter 866 - 296, Janine Warburg_2

At this moment, Donnie took a rose from the hands of a flower-selling girl, and Steve Cotting behind him gave the little girl one dollar.

Donnie handed the rose to Janine Warburg, saying, “Kaya, her father was a gambler who drowned in the Atlantic two years ago, and her mother is a call girl at the Kroya Hotel, who never takes care of her. If she doesn’t come out to sell flowers tonight, she won’t have anything to eat tomorrow!”

Janine Warburg turned back in surprise, looking at Kaya who was still selling roses to others, her eyes conveying sympathy: “She really is pitiable!”

Donnie spoke nonchalantly: “There are many children like this in Atlantic City, but I think there are even more in other places!”

“But I heard that Atlantic City is the richest city in the United States, and you have prepared many benefits for the people of Atlantic City, so why does this situation still occur?”

Janine Warburg unconsciously asked Donnie.

But she immediately felt that her question was somewhat intrusive and quickly apologized!

Donnie waved his hand, smiling as he said: “There’s nothing to apologize for, everyone has their own choices. Kaya’s parents chose to have her, but also chose not to take care of this child. Kaya herself chose to live on persistently. These are all individual choices, and we have no right to interfere with others’ choices!”

Janine Warburg nodded in confusion, then cautiously asked Donnie, “Then, can I help her?”

Donnie still spoke indifferently: “Of course, it’s your choice, and I won’t say anything about it!”

Janine Warburg immediately showed a happy expression, quickly walked over to Kaya, and after what seemed to be a conversation, took the flower basket from Kaya’s hands and handed her 10 dollars.

Then Janine Warburg returned to Donnie’s side with a happy face, carrying the flower basket: “I’ve bought all her flowers, so she can go home earlier to rest now!”

Donnie just smiled, not saying anything, and the two continued their stroll.

But soon, Janine Warburg’s confusion resurfaced as she saw Kaya, who had just returned with a new basket of roses for sale.

Kaya saw Donnie and Janine Warburg, without any sense of embarrassment, and even approached them with a smile, bouncing happily.

“Mr. Block, these roses are even fresher than the ones earlier, do you want to buy another one?”

“Of course!” Donnie took another rose from the basket, and it was still Steve Cotting who gave Kaya a dollar.

Janine Warburg couldn’t hold back and crouched down to ask Kaya, “Didn’t we just agree? I bought your flowers, and you were supposed to go home and rest, so why are you out again?”

“Because I need to save money!” Kaya stated matter-of-factly, “Mr. Block told us, if we want to change our fate, we can only rely on ourselves, study hard, and go to college! I heard that college costs a lot of money, so I need to save up now!”

Janine Warburg was surprised once more; she hadn’t expected young Kaya to be so knowledgeable.

Kaya ignored Janine Warburg and proudly said to Donnie, “Mr. Block, this time I got two As, and my teacher said my grades can still improve!”

Donnie ruffled Kaya’s hair, smiling: “You’re great, keep up with your studies, and I will personally write a letter of recommendation for you in the future!”

“Thank you, Mr. Block!” Kaya bowed seriously to Donnie, “We all know that if it wasn’t for you, Mr. Block, who built the school and let us study for free, we wouldn’t have the hope of going to college, so Joe, Ally, and I all have agreed that after we graduate, we will definitely come back to Atlantic City to serve you, Mr. Block!”

Donnie laughed: “That’s great, I’ll be waiting for that day!”

Kaya happily left the place.

Once Kaya had left, Janine Woburg looked at Donnie beside her with confusion: “You built a school for them?”

Donnie said with a smile: “Why not, these are the children of Atlantic City, and among these children, there might emerge remarkable individuals in the future. It’s just a small amount of money for me, yet it gives them hope. Isn’t it a good thing?”

Janine Warburg nodded, then expressed her understanding: “I get it now, in fact, what you are doing is also an investment, after all, Atlantic City has developed too rapidly, and although you keep recruiting talent, it’s hard for them to feel a connection to Atlantic City. You’re investing in these kids, actually waiting for them to come back to Atlantic City in the future to become your assistants!”
