Chapter 22

Chapter 22

Anna’s nails bit into her palm as she glared furiously at Jane.

“Your father was right. Compared to Maddie, you’re nothing but a failure.

“I can’t believe I gave birth to a daughter who turned out to be as selfish and unreasonable as you are.

“I felt so guilty about what had happened to you, but all that guilt is gone now. It’s all thanks to you, Jane.

“I wish I had never given birth to you. I wish I had never tried searching for you. I wish that you had died 19 years ago. Why did you appear in my life again?”

Lila could feel her chest tighten and her heart shatter as she listened to Anna, even though Anna was nothing but a stranger to her.

All humor fled Jane.

Her face stiffened into an expression devoid of any emotion.

Her heart, on the other hand…

Why was she so weak?

She had decided not to get her heart broken over people who didn’t deserve her love in this life.

Jane wasn’t as strong as she had thought she was.
