Faced with young Dumbledore's honest explanation, Voldemort remained deeply suspicious, reacting even more aggressively than before.
His opinion had not changed at all. He still believed there was something wrong with young Dumbledore's identity, that he was a lunatic asylum doctor Mrs. Cole had brought in.
What was more, he believed Mrs. Cole was an old witch, the one who truly belonged in a lunatic asylum.
Wizet watched silently from the side, his brow gradually knitting together.
As someone who had grown up in an orphanage, he could actually see traces of the old director of his own orphanage in Mrs. Cole.
This was an orphanage in 1938, after all. Given the particular circumstances of the era, Mrs. Cole had already done more than enough.
Within her means, she had ensured the orphanage provided a suitable environment, and had even taken the children out on trips.
When the children fell ill, Mrs. Cole did not treat them differently, but did her best to provide appropriate care.
That so-called "not treating them differently" included the Voldemort who was shouting right now.
Even with so many "strange" things happening around Voldemort, Mrs. Cole had merely suspected him. Since she lacked solid proof, she had not punished him.
Voldemort continued, "You can ask Benson and Bishop yourselves. They'll tell you the truth. They just happened to be traveling with me!"
"Why should their accidents be blamed on me? Just because nothing happened to me? That old witch is just spouting nonsense!"
From Voldemort's words, Wizet keenly caught a certainty in his confidence.
Clearly, Voldemort had anticipated all of this long ago and had used some special means to keep Benson and Bishop from revealing the truth.
Young Dumbledore did not dwell on those words and continued fulfilling his duty as a Hogwarts professor.
