Chapter 110. Mother

I couldn't help but feel a bit awkward in the beginning when I was with Ms. Hazel. She seemed hesitant to approach me even though we had spent time together before.

We were still at the house where the surprise had taken place. As I looked at her, I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness. She was doing all the things a mother should do—taking care of me and not taking her eyes off me.

I badly wanted to ask her so many questions about our past. I wanted to ask her why she had left me. I wanted to know why she hadn't taken me with her.

I had questions like, what if she hadn't left me with Sister Nieves? Where would I be now? What would our life together have been like? Would she still end up with Mr. Erik? And most importantly, would I have met Roy?

"Do you still want some cake? I'll get you some," she offered.

I shook my head and put down the spoon I was holding. She was about to take my plate when I stopped her.

"You don't need to do this," I said.
