"I'm sorry. My daughter, please forgive your mommy. I'm sorry for not recognizing you. I wouldn't forgive myself if you didn't wake up. I'm sorry..." Sarah sobbed as she repeatedly apologized to Zoey.
At first, Zoey was baffled at this reaction. She glanced at Zachery who couldn't look her in the eye. But not long after, Sarah began to explain what happened decades ago in full detail.
Sarah didn't leave anything out. No matter how disgusting it was, Sarah came clean in front of her daughter. Despite knowing that she'd lose Zoey forever, Sarah and Zachery had decided to atone for their sins.
When Sarah finished explaining, Zoey was so out of words. Her heart felt heavy, too heavy that tears started rolling down her cheek.
"Zoey…" Sarah called out once again, gritting her teeth seeing the pain in Zoey's eyes.
"You…" Zoey breathed heavily, raising her gaze to them. "You disgust me."
