Chapter 277

"We didn't want you to break again. The children make you happy. We hoped when you had the child inside of you, you would be happy again."
• I shook my head as I looked at him.
• "The sadness is normal," Kennedy intoned from the pad in my hands. "Mama will feel it until we free you all. Make her stronger by giving her freedom. The way you men have been trained is wrong. Mama needs your support and she needs to know what is going on."
