"She looks like she is doing well. Healthy." Kiernan said, and coughed slightly. "I met her briefly. I told her that I was her son."
"How did she react?" Karma asked.
"Shock," Kiernan said. "She didn't know how to respond, so I planned to leave it there and leave. Then, I met her father—my grandfather."
"Her father." Karma crossed his arms. "Who is he?"
"I don't know, but he wasn't a nice one." Kiernan sighed. "I found out later that he apparently told Bella to have an abortion. When she didn't, he told her to kill me when I was a baby. She didn't, thus she brought me to you."
"What…" Karma's eyes shook in surprise. "I had no idea."
He looked conflicted as he was living with the feelings of long-forgotten love and hatred for her for abandoning Kiernan like that on his doorstep.
He thought that she just didn't want a child, so she just dumped him without a second thought.
"Did she ask about me?" Karma asked.
