Arthur took the knife gentle from Mandy. Mandy back quacked as tears blurry her vision.
” Mum please stop crying, we still love you, no matter what ” Arthur stated, holding back tears of his. Alyssa just cried.
” Go ” Mandy said, after recovering from her tears. She sniffed.
Arthur and Alyssa were in utter bewilderment and surprised.
” What do you mean mum ” Arthur said indistinctly.
” Go to her” Mandy mutter.
” Go to your mother, am not your real mum. If she is the one you both want then please go to her. Am sorry for keep you both away from your real mother. They say blood is thicker than water, that why you both carve for your real mum. Sorry for everything ” Mandy lamented and tears prevent further speech.
