Bab 83: [Bonus chapter] CH 80: MOTHER AND SON

Adam listened quietly to Cecilia as she told him her story.

This was the first time she had heard her talk about her past so freely. Her life and mischief as a kid. The games she did with her sister and the scolding she sometimes received from her parents.

Indeed. Children sometimes made the mistake to forget that their parents were also children in the past.

They made their own mistakes, had their own experience, and braved their own trials.

Cecilia's voice was steady. Even when she spoke about the darkest time of her life, she did not waver.

Adam closed his eyes and continued to listen.

He imagined this small nine years old girl, facing an unreasonable event that destroyed her whole life in an instant.

On that day, she lost everything. Her childish innocence went to the grave alongside her parents.

Adam suddenly found himself pathetic.

His life had changed one day suddenly like for Cecilia. But he had only been complaining.
