Hana still did not let go of her daughter. She grasped her daughter's arm with both her hands and looked at Tessa with a hopeful expression. Tessa's features looked very similar to Hana's when she was seventeen years old, but Tessa was more beautiful than Hana. Tessa did not have a care in the world and was dressed in a stylish outfit. She looked just like a little princess.
Hana had an indescribable agitation within her. She had a catch in her throat and spoke incoherently." Tessa, I am your mother. Don't you recognize me, Tessa? I’m the one who bought all these beautiful clothes that you're wearing for you with the money I've earned. Tessa..."
Tessa suddenly aggressively pushed Hana away. "You d*mned woman! Why don’t you go to hell! How do you have the cheeks? Are you so thick-skinned? You were the one who bought the clothes I'm wearing for me? You're the kind of woman who only cared about your own enjoyment! You only cared about fooling around with men! You’re a woman who doesn't even acknowledge my dad! How dare you say that you're m y mother! How dare you say that my clothes were bought by you?
"My dad was the one who had taken care of me growing up! It was my dad who braided my hair. It was my dad who sent me to school. He was the one
who went to the parent-teacher conferences! During the day, my dad took care of me, dropped me off and picked me up from school. He would only go to work a t night after I had returned from school! Go to hell! My mother had died a long time ago! Dead! You d*mned woman! I want to stab you to death with a knife!"
Hana was speechless. Her daughter gritted her teeth and cursed at her angrily. The hatred her daughter had for her was as if she was the enemy who killed her daughter's father. Hana was so heartbroken that she could not speak for a long time. She turned her head to look at Hector, who had a pitiful expression. Even the parents who were there to pick up their children were pointing at Hana and criticizing her. 1
"How can there be such a mother in this world!"
"This kind of woman doesn’t deserve to be alive!"
"A car should run her over and kill her now!"
At that moment, Hector approached Hana with his face covered in tears. "Just leave! Since you haven't taken care of your daughter for so many years, why are you here looking for her now? Was it because you saw that your daughter did very well in school and is a potential candidate who can go to college? So, that is why you came looking for her? You wanted her to support you after she had graduated from college? What is such a woman like you doing being alive?"
Hana was speechless. She never expected that Hector would say such a thing. She was left dumbstruck for a long while.
