CHAPTER 70:

  ALLISON ?

  *

  I was surprised to hear that. Mother never told me this for once all those years I kept asking her, but all of a sudden she is telling me now. Could that mean...?

  *Could that be mother knows some thing that I don't?* I thought to myself as I stared at her.

  "Do you know some thing about this mark, mother?" I asked.

  "Allison. . ." She tried to give her usual excuses but this time I wasn't interested in listening to any of them.

  "Mother, if there is any thing that has to do with this scar then I have every right to know. Why will you keep hiding the truth away from me? This is my scar, mother, I should know why I have it in the first place. Please tell me, tell me what it means." I pleaded.

  I could sense she wasn't ready to tell me what's behind the scar but I was determined to know.
