"Are you okay, Laurene?" she asked.
I bowed my head in shame. I couldn't look at them. It was only Zairon I wanted to see, but he wasn't here. I couldn't see him here.
"So this is the Laurene I've always heard about."
We all turned to the speaker. It was Zairon's mother. She stared at me intensely, her forehead slowly furrowing.
"I know you... you're the woman I met inside the mall," her eyes widened as she realized something. "You... you have children, don't you?"
Everyone gasped upon hearing that. The murmurs inside grew louder.
"Am I right? Are they your children?" she added.
