The Woman From Hell

Theo looked at me and finally nodded. "Of course. If Millicent Yard really is your mother, then this time, you can finally reveal the secrets of your past. It's great news."

Standing at the door, I felt uneasy and shook Theo's hand tightly.

Theo patted the back of my hand and signaled me not to be nervous. "It's okay, I'm here."

"Yeah." I nodded and followed Theo into the house.

Taking a deep breath, I said slowly, "Mom and Dad, I'm here this time because I have something important to confirm with you."

Noticing my serious expression as well as Theo's next to me, Petra and Grayson also put away their smiles.
