"I'm so sorry that your mother is such a worthless person…. I'm so sorry... I know you won't ever forgive me. I've been too horrible to you to deserve forgiveness."
She sniffled, "I was so cruel to you. I tortured you. But despite this, you still helped me. I don't understand. Why would you help your worthless mother? Perhaps I really should have succeeded in dying back then."
No words came out as I listened to my mother. My mind was blank at the sudden words.
She chuckled sadly as she began her story, "I fell in love with your father the moment I saw him. My father had been swindled by a low life merchant, so I went to find this merchant to give him a piece of my mind and to get my father's money back. Who would have known the low life merchant was such a charming and handsome man? One look at him and I was completely smitten. Except my pride would not allow him to win.
