"You're an adult, why are you so heartbroken over your mother wanting to start a new family?" Jaylene Ziel asked, baffled by Joseph Thompson's sorrowful demeanor.
"What does my age have to do with anything?" Joseph Thompson replied, clearly unhappy, "You've never experienced the loss of maternal love as a child, so you can't understand my feelings."
"Who said I hadn't lost my mother's love as a child?" Jaylene immediately refuted him. "When I was very little, my mother abandoned me, okay?"
"You were only a month old then, knowing nothing, and your mother gave you more, better love, allowing you to grow up in a warm and cozy family."
Joseph paused at this point, his eyelashes lowered, he murmured, "You don't know, when I was five years old…"
Joseph remembered that incident, when he had returned home from nursery school with his small school bag, only to find his mother waiting at their courtyard entrance with a suitcase.
