Chapter 6 — Lily Learns The Truth
Emma tried to hide everything from Lily.
But children notice pain adults try to hide.
One night, Lily asked:
"Mom... did Grandma and Grandpa never want me?"
Emma froze.
That was the question she feared most.
She hugged her daughter.
"You were never unwanted. They just didn't know how lucky they were."
But Lily heard something else.
She heard that her grandparents rejected her.
And a child’s heart remembers rejection forever.
The next morning, Lily left a small drawing on the kitchen table.
It showed Emma and Lily holding hands.
No grandparents.
No big mansion.
Just them.
Emma realized something.
