Bab 57: His happy family ... crashed?

'What?'

Was Tiana Maximus' mother? No way.

Valerie was confused and thought maybe Max had mistaken Tiana for his mother. But then she heard Tiana call out,

"Maxie?"

Her eyes widened. This... This was... What was going on?

As if struck by a sudden realization, Tiana suddenly turned around and started running away.

"Mom, wait." Max called but she had no plans of stopping.

Max wanted to go after her but he looked down at Valerie and gritted his teeth. He couldn't leave her there.

"Valerie, do you know who that is?" He asked and Valerie answered,

"Her name's Tiana." She said, "You said she was your mom? How's that possible?"

Max could not respond at the moment but he knew, from one look at her that she was his mother. The woman who gave birth to him but... What was she doing in an Asylum?
