I really don't know myself, though, I have been cared for and raised from childhood with love and affection but I actually reciprocate the good deeds of my father and adoptive mother with actions that tarnish their good name. I have made many troublesome and hurtful acts both parents who crave my presence.
"Can I ask you about my origins. Who is my mother and where is my family?. I'd love to meet them, "me ask mom.
"But you promised me, son, that you wouldn't leave us and choose to live with them. Because I don't think I can break up with you for a long time, son. Pity us son, we have no one else, we only have you, " said the mother, sobbing, the father stroked my hair and shed tears.
