"I didn't know whose child it was in my belly. I was finally out of jail, but I had no money and no place to g o. I went back to the Lynn Family in search of justice. I confronted Lincoln Lynn as to why he lied to me and refused to save your life. He told me that he tried but you didn't make it through, and told me that he buried you back in our hometown. I wanted to go back but I didn't have any money on me. I had an unborn child o n the way and I couldn't go back."
"I'm sorry, Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't know that you have been alive all this time. I thought you were dead, I thought that you were buried by my father. I was desperate to earn some cash, just enough for me to travel back to our hometown, but then I was hunted down by the Lynns. I hid for six whole years out there, but no matter where I ran to, Lincoln and Jade could always find me. I had no choice but to hide my identity and move around, and then..."
"Half a year ago, the father of my child found me, and we finally managed to come back to South City. I went back to our hometown two months ago, wanting to pay my respect and bring the ashes of you and father back to South City. It wasn't until I reached there when I found out that you... you weren't dead like Lincoln had told me. He told me you were buried in our hometown, and it was just another one of his lies!" "Ever since then, I was so lost as to where you are or
whether you are still alive. But then, I noticed that someone has been secretly observing me and Aino from afar after we returned from our hometown. I've seen you a few times already, Mom. Was that you, Mom? Are you the person who had been watching me from afar? Why did you hide from me all this time? Are you upset with me for not taking good care of you? That I didn't bring the money back in time for your surgery? Or are you mad at me for not looking for you all those years? Mom, I'm sorry! Mom, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry...! Mom, I'm so sorry..."
Sabrina was crying like a child. Behind her, both Kingston and Marcus were choking on their tears. Both officers were unsure as to what they were supposed to do next. They were originally called by the woman in her fifties to check on the suspect, once the suspect had been identified and the case was cleared, they could proceed to take Sabrina into custody. However, at a scene as touching as it was, they were emotionally affected as well. The two officers looked at the old Master Shaw and found him i n a complete state of shock.
Didn't they say that Sabrina's mother left to enjoy life after giving her to Lincoln? Did they say that Sabrina's mother was an alluring woman? Why was she looking like that? Just as the old Master Shaw was stunned, Lincoln had paled from fear, his feet threatening to give in. He had to lean against the wall to barely keep himself standing. He felt as though the end was nigh.
At the time, the ragged stray woman wrapped her arms around Sabrina and held her close tightly. "My baby girl, my darling, I...I was going to stay hidden for the rest of my life. I stay in the sewers right now and I'm doing great."
"Mom..." Sabrina muttered.
"I just wanted to see your face every now and then. I'm happy as long as you are safe and healthy. But I noticed that you have been in danger for the past two days and someone wants my daughter's head on a silver platter!"
"Mom..."
The stray lifted her gaze abruptly and stared daggers a t the old Master Shaw. "You old bast*rd! Bully my daughter and I will kill you!"
A voice murmured hesitantly from behind them. "Au-Auntie, are you my aunt?"
