Chapter 36

Inside Bonita’s heart, a tumultuous storm was raging. At this moment, she didn’t know how to face all of this, how to meet the woman who had never allowed her to call her “mother.”

The chaos in her mind made it impossible for her to think clearly; the only thought was to escape from this place and avoid facing it all.

Because she resented her, resented her for not accepting her as her own. She knew she had a mother, yet she had to live like an orphan, kept far away.

The looks of contempt and approval from others were all because of her selfishness.

No, she couldn’t be moved; she couldn’t let her heart soften just because of a few pictures of herself. In her heart, Bonita silently reminded herself.

Seeing the teary-eyed expression on Bonita’s face, Mrs. Trovica felt hope flicker in her heart, only for it to be shattered again. She tried to approach Bonita, wanting to embrace her, but Bonita angrily cut her off and wiped away her tears before leaving.
