It's Not Your Fault

Amanda clasped Sia's trembling hands and said in a gentle voice, "Sia, thank you for saving Varian. If not for you, that child wouldn't be alive. Really, thank you so much…"

"I…" Sia raised her head at Amanda and opened her mouth in shock. She shivered as her heart grew painful and her vision grew misty.

She thought of a lot of things Amanda would say when they met. She might curse Sia for killing her. She might be enraged at the betrayal.

Amanda had every right to condemn Sia and wish her the worst of things.

Sia was prepared to take the hurls of insults and abuse from the person she should've never killed.

Yet, when she met her after her death, the first thing this woman says is 'Thank You.'

'Thank You' to the girl who she raised for eight years ended up killing her.

'Thank You' to the girl who separated a mother from her son.

'Thank You' to the girl who deserved nothing but loathing and punishment.
