Chapter 47 Sleepover With Friends

• “I didn’t mean to. I wasn’t ready to have a child, it wasn’t expected and my mother wanted me to deal with the consequences of my actions. I was mad at her for a long time. I hated everyone around me including myself and so I ran, I ran after I gave birth to you because I couldn’t deal with everything. I got so depressed, I thought I was going to kill myself. I needed to go and find myself again. I’m so sorry I left. I struggled to get food to eat and later got a job. I met Alfred, told him everything. He supported me and still stood by me. I went back home but she had moved, I searched for you but I never found you. I never heard anything from her as well but I promise I never forgot about you.”
• I stared watching her in doubt. I didn’t know whether to believe her or not but I felt pity for her and what she had to go through.
• “So Alfred knows?” I ask and she nods.
