Chapter 96
Avery caressed Maria’s head again, comforting her. "You did very well
If I had been at home, I would have supported your decision to adopt Josie"
Hearing this, Maria felt relieved
Although Maria was honest and lacked confidence, she was not someone without opinions and courage. At the very least, when faced with crossroads in life, Maria could follow her heart and bravely choose the path she wanted to take. Maria did not need excessive worry from anyone.
Maria scratched her head in embarrassment and continued, "Josie has no memory of what happened before she entered the orphanage, and she can’t clearly remember her experiences there. She only vaguely recalls that the other children complained about her lame leg and did not play with her."
"In her memory, she just got lost by accident, spent a few days at the orphanage, and then her sister and parents found her and brought her home. So, she is terrified of going out alone."
"In her view. Mom and Dad are her biological parents, and we are her biological siblings."
"That’s why the family never said Josie was adopted; they always said Josie is a biological child"
Avery nodded. "That’s good.
Maria took the towel from Avery’s hand and covered her face, feeling embarrassed. "I feel like telling you this is such a big deal I’m panicking inside, but it is not that important for you."
"Ah, it’s my lack of breadth and vision. I always tend to get stuck in small details."
