70: A tempting offer - part 2

"I know where your mother is and how to reach her. Are you interested in meeting her?"

Aurora asked this question knowing what it meant for Emilia. No matter how much older she got, she was but a child right now.

And every child had an innate longing to meet the one who birthed them. In that case, Emilia was no different from a normal child.

Aurora should have been disgusted to use such a weakness to her advantage but she could not back down. If she took her words back now, then her reputation was as good as gone in Emilia's eyes.

"My mother? She's still alive?"

Emilia sounded like a lost child. Aurora could see how much her words were eating away at Emilia's heart.

"Your mother is alive but in a complicated situation. I am in no place to tell you why you were left behind by your mother. But I can offer you a chance to find out why you were left behind."

In retrospect, what Aurora was doing was no better than dangling a carrot in front of a hungry horse.
