Mary heard this and suddenly went silent.
After a long while, she forced a smile. "Keera, you're quite the joker."
Keira was perplexed.
She gave a resigned smile. "I'm not joking..."
Before she could finish, Mary took her by the arm. "You've forgotten, right? You already told me about your background long ago!"
Keira was stunned. "…What?"
Keera's background?
Without further thought, Mary said, "When I asked you back then if you wanted to find your biological father or just live with your foster parents, you told me about it..."
With that, she cautiously glanced at Keira as if afraid that bringing up that matter would touch a raw nerve.
Keira only felt her mind turn into mush. "What did I tell you?"
Mary looked at her oddly. "Keera, you don't remember?"
Keira pursed her lips, pausing before asking, "What did I say?"
