EVO
"Being a mother doesn't mean you gave birth or breastfed your child, Evo."
I was completely surprised by what my mother said when she spoke. My heart filled with a considerable amount of sympathy as I fixed my eyes on her. The aching pain in my chest wouldn't go away. It was an unwanted guest that wouldn't go away.
"What do you mean, Mom?" After taking a deep breath, I slowly let the air out of my mouth before saying anything else. "Are you... my mother? How do you mean that?"
"That means she didn't give birth to you. She is not your biological mother."
"Then who are you if you're not my mom? Is it Audrey?"
"Could you please stop talking about the long-dead woman?" The room went from quiet and peaceful to filled with the sharp echo of my mother's words. "I hate her and her name!"
