Henry was about to go to her room, but he was pretty upset. So, he wept outside John's working room. When Debby mentioned Selina, Henry was shocked. His father had never mentioned her mother, nor did everyone else. Henry wondered a few times why he didn't have a mother like everyone else. Henry assumed himself as an orphan as he knew some of the Ferocious Pack were orphans too. However, he had never asked his father why and how he became an orphan.
All this time, what he thought was that he still had John and Debby. So, he was still more fortunate than other orphans who had no one. Yet, it pierced his heart to hear Debby say he still had a mother. Henry heard what John said when he wanted to rush in and ask his father about it. Her mother gave him up when he was born and had never wanted to visit him, not even once.
