"My mother... She never wanted me... She hated me even before I was born... I..." Liam's empty eyes met with Rory's.
"I made her depressed, Cherry. I killed her!"
He fell on her lap and burying his face, he started to shake. Rory's hands were trembling as she tried to make sense of what he said.
"I killed my mother by existing..."
She placed her trembling hand on his head. "Don't say that, Fizzy... Please..." She choked with all the emotions she felt.
"It's not your fault... It's not."
She gently caressed his head with her trembling fingers. "Don't blame yourself, Fizzy... There should be more to it... There should be..."
As she gently caressed him, she could sense him getting relaxed. As much as she wanted to know more, she thought that making him relaxed should be her priority.
He did not look well and she was scared that he has a knife. He won't hurt her. But he might hurt himself.
She bent and kissed his head.
