Chương 37: Thoughts of the Past

April stared at Joshy for a long while, trying to gauge how much of the truth she would tell this young boy. Joshy seemed very eager to understand what was going on and April could not bear to lie to him. He appeared very trusting towards her. She did not want to tarnish that. In her heart, she felt that Joshy was like a chance for her to experience a relationship with a child, which was deprived by what happened to her in her very painful distant past. 

"April, please don't be sad. I just want to understand why Dad kept saying that I shouldn't trust you, that you're a bad person, a person who doesn't know how to care about anyone."

Joshy's words cut through her heart. She was surprised how much Vincent had poisoned this young boy's mind just to keep him away from her. Why did he have to be that cruel?

"That is a lie. Your father had no idea how much pain and suffering I have gone through. I have lost my child because of him. It was his fault."
