Bab 410: Family secrets (3)

"I stayed with her after my brother's death and slowly I started to get weak. Like there was a burning pain in my chest the more I ate and once I stopped eating food from there, I got better. I confronted her and told my mother about it but the end result was I got sent out of town. Isn't that right, mother?" Clark smiled, enjoying the way her wrinkles became more prominent with her anger.
