章 99: Her story

"Does Ayaan know Maria was his mother?" Azalea asked.

"I can't really say. She said she never told him and that she was too ashamed to call herself a mother. ' A mother is there as a protection and I could never protect my son from anything.'" Azalea's face was filled with sorrow, "She said that once during her treatment."

"It's hard to take in. I barely knew Maria but to Ayaan she was his everything. It's really really sad that she had to abandon her title as a mother for something she wasn't even at fault for."
