But all Rosita did was grab him and push him to beg Garry for his freedom.

He did beg, but Garry refused.

When Rosita found out, she exploded at him. She called him useless, even shouted that she regretted ever giving birth to him.

Irwin looked at Rosita's twisted features her eyes filled with nothing but disgust, not a trace of love. In that moment, he finally understood: not every mother in the world loves her child.

His so-called biological mother had never truly loved him—not ever.

And in that instant, his thoughts drifted to Briony.

He remembered those five years when Briony had cared for and protected him.

He remembered how Mom Bryn's voice was always gentle.

He remembered how, even though she never let him have ice cream or candy, she'd bake healthy little cookies and bread just for him.

He remembered how, every night she read him bedtime stories, he'd fall asleep to sweet dreams and never knew what a nightmare was.

He remembered how Mom Bryn would patiently answer every silly question he asked.

And then he remembered his Mom Bryn didn't want him anymore.

But this time, Irwin knew the truth. It wasn't Mom Bryn's fault.

It was his. He had messed up. He had disappointed her, and that's why she left him.
