That evening, when she left the office, she didn’t avoid Daphne. Instead, she walked straight toward her.

Daphne froze. She’d expected to be ignored again. She never thought Tracy would actually come to her first.

Startled, she quickly stood up, wringing her hands like a nervous schoolgirl.

“Tracy…”

Tracy’s face was calm, her tone flat. “Mrs. Jackman, you’ve been trying to see me. Well, here I am. What do you want to say?”

It was rush hour. The lobby was full of employees heading home. Everyone knew Daphne had been begging for Tracy’s forgiveness lately. So when the two finally stood face to face, no one could hide their curiosity.

Some pretended to pass by. Some stood in small groups pretending to chat. But every eye was locked on the scene.

Normally, Daphne hated being stared at–especially by the company’s rank–and–file. But today? With Tracy finally willing to speak, she didn’t care.

“Tracy, you’re finally willing to see me! Does this mean you forgive me?”

Her voice trembled as she stepped forward, trying to reach for Tracy’s hand. But Tracy pulled

away.

“That’s all you wanted to say?” Her voice stayed cold.

Daphne looked hurt.

“Tracy

… are you still blaming me? I know I was wrong before, but I didn’t know better. I never meant to hurt you. I want to make it up to you. Please, give me a chance to fix this.”

She sounded so sincere. She looked like she truly regretted everything.

Tracy believed she was sorry. But their regret didn’t mean she had to forgive them.

Tracy’s eyes stayed icy as she let Daphne finish. Then she finally spoke. “You want forgiveness? Then donate all your money. Eat no home–cooked meals. Only wear your old clothes.

“Every holiday, you must buy gifts for the whole family. They must be as expensive as before, or the family will accuse you and curse you.

“If you’re hungry, you can’t tell anyone. If you’re hurt, you must hide it and deal with it yourself. Otherwise, they’ll say you’re faking it for pity.

“Live like that for two or three years. Then send yourself to that academy. No contact with the outside world. Fight over scraps of food. Get beaten every day. Want to die but still force yourself to keep going.

“If you can survive that for two years, then come back and ask me again. Maybe I’ll consider forgiving you.”

Daphne froze. Her face went pale. For a long time, she couldn’t say a single word.

She’d never known. Never guessed Tracy had gone through so much misery.

”

Her lips trembled. Finally, she forced out a whisper. “Why didn’t you ever tell me? If you told me …

had

Tracy cut her off, voice sharp as a blade. “And you would have believed me? I told you the truth more times than I can count. Did you ever once believe me?

“You didn’t. You only believed Erin.

“Even when I gave you hard proof, it meant nothing next to one of her tears. She shed a tear, and

you wanted me to bleed to make up for it.

“You said it yourself. If you could go back to the day you first held me in the hospital, you’d strangle me with your own hands.

“You’re not senile yet, are you? Don’t tell me you forgot those words.”

Daphne staggered back, her whole body shaking.

“I … I …

”

But no words came. She remembered. Of course, she remembered. And that was why she couldn’t meet her daughter’s eyes.

Tracy gave a soft, bitter laugh.
