Chapter 264

Isabelle’s POV

I took a deep breath and let it out as I waited for her to come into the room. I’m not sure exactly what to expect from this interaction. The fact I’m even sitting here right now is still a surprise to me, but I did it. I’m here to face my demons and to get some answers.

“Thank you for your patience, Miss Avildsen.” Dr. Thomas, an older man, smiled as he led the way into the room.

There was a woman following behind him, my mother. I had seen pictures of her before, back when I thought she was just a heartbroken soul. I haven’t dared to look at them since finding out she’s the one who cost me my father.

“Lyla, this is your daughter that you’ve requested to see.” Dr. Thomas informed her as she sat down in front of me.

Her face held some wrinkles and her light brown hair was up in a bun. Her cheekbones were still just as prominent as mine were. They’re about the only features I got from her, everything else I got from my father.
