"Mom, please forgive me!". Qiara said while trying to grab Mrs. Sarah's hand, however, Mrs. Sarah immediately pushed Qiara's hand away. 

"Mama...". Julian wanted to join in on the conversation but Qiara stopped him. 

"Can you come in first? Zio definitely wants to see you!" Qiara said with a smile.

"But...". Julian was worried that Qiara would be hurt by his mother's attitude. 

"I just want to talk to Mama! So, please give us a few minutes". Qiara said while pleading desperately.

Julian took a deep breath, he couldn't refuse Qiara's request. 

"Okay, I'll come in! If there's anything, you should call me!". Julian said.

"Yes". Qiara said. 

Then Julian turned to his mother. "Mama, I entered first!".

"Yes". Mrs Sarah did not turn to Julian because her gaze was only on Qiara.

After that, Julian entered Zio's room. He believed that Qiara could face his mother.

"Mama, we should sit down!" Qiara said doubtfully.

"I don't have much time, say what you want to say quickly!". said Mrs. Sarah curtly.

Qiara took a deep breath, after that she looked at her mother-in-law's face which was still the same as the first time they met. 

"Julian and I are remarried! Sorry we didn't tell Mama". Qiara chose to be honest because she didn't want to keep this secret for too long.

Mrs. Sarah clenched her fists in anger and annoyance.

"Please bless us!". Qiara knelt before Mrs. Sarah while shedding tears. 

Mrs. Sarah turned her flushed face away, her heart aching because her first child had lied to her. 

"Do you know how my heart broke when I heard the news that my children and grandchildren were abandoned by you? Julian struggled alone to raise a special child like Zio. Did you know that the trauma that Zio went through was because of you. So, how could I possibly accept you again? I know how a mother would feel if later your son went through the same thing as mine." Mrs. Sarah said with tears in her eyes. 

"I know, Mama! Therefore I apologize and allow me to atone for all my mistakes!". Qiara said. 

"Rice has turned into porridge. Therefore, there is nothing to improve! So, you better get out of here and leave my children and grandchildren! Aren't you an expert at that?". Sarah snapped as she glared at Qiara.

Julian, who had been standing behind the door, started to get angry, he couldn't bear to hear his wife being yelled at by his mother. 

Therefore, Julian opted out since Zio was still sleeping.

"Mama... Please don't yell at my wife!".

Sarah and Qiara were surprised to see Julian who suddenly came out.

"Julian... Why did you have to come out?". Qiara asked while looking up at Julian.

Julian's heart ached to see his wife kneeling, he immediately asked Qiara to stand back up.

After that, Julian turned to his mother without answering Qiara's question first.

"What's Julian going to do? I'm afraid he'll get into a fight with Mama. I have to make sure they don't get into a fight." Qiara thought. 

"Julian... Why did you marry secretly? Is it because of this traitorous woman that you want to cancel your marriage with Viona? Even though it is Viona who has been by your side, and why do you defend this woman more than Mama?". cried Mrs. Sarah who was already in tears. 

"Because she's a victim." Julian answered quietly.

Mrs. Sarah frowned, she didn't understand why Julian said Qiara was the victim not her.

"What do you mean?". Sarah asked.

"To be more precise, the separation happened because of Papa's actions. We were hurt because of your husband". Julian answered in a rising voice.

Mrs. Sarah's hands trembled at Julian's words.

"What is he doing?". Mrs. Sarah didn't try to defend her husband anymore when she was blamed. Because she knows some of her husband's crimes. But, she did not know that the man in front of her was not her biological son. However, her sick and slightly disabled child had to be given to someone else and died because of not being cared for properly.

"Julian.. Don't do that! I'm afraid Mama will get sick!". Qiara whispered as she tightly gripped Julian's hand.

"Mama needs to know so she can stop supporting her evil husband." Julian had lost his temper because he felt sorry for his mother who had always been the one to cover up Mr. Joseph's ugliness.

"Why are you two whispering? Tell me now!". Mrs. Sarah also lost her temper so she kept screaming as she said what was on her mind. 

Julian took a deep breath, after which he said. "Papa has asked Virsen to threaten Qiara so that she will leave us. If she doesn't want to, then Virsen will hurt Zio and me. Therefore, Qiara chose to separate from us even though it hurts".

Mrs. Sarah's tears flowed harder, she didn't expect her husband to be more evil. How many secrets and crimes does Mr. Joseph keep? 

Without saying anything, Mrs. Sarah left just like that, leaving Julian and Qiara behind.

"Mama ...". Julian panicked when he saw his mother running away crying. 

"Julian, please follow Mama! I'm afraid she's in danger, I'll stand guard here!". Qiara said worriedly.

"Okay, I will follow Mama. Later, I will contact Andi to accompany you here!".

"Yes".

After that Julian ran after his mother. 

Meanwhile, Qiara went into Zio's room. She walked slowly towards the large patient bed.

On the bed, Qiara saw her child's small body lying stiff.

Not long after, Qiara sat down beside Zio. She then looked closely at her son's handsome and adorable face.

"Honey... It's Mama! Please wake up! Mama wants to talk to you!". Qiara said while kissing those soft little hands.

Instantly, Zio woke up. But, he didn't want to open his eyes because he wasn't ready to see Qiara as his real mother. 

Just then, Qiara's cell phone rang and it was from her aunt in town B. Qiara quickly shifted the green icon on her cellphone.

"Hello, Auntie!"

"Hello, Qiara!" There was a panicked voice from a phone that made her calm expression change.

"What's wrong, Auntie?" Qiara asked frantically.

"Your mother is sick! You better go home now!".

Qiara stood up in shock, she panicked because she knew that her mother's illness was dangerous enough to threaten her life.

"Please take care of Mama, Auntie! I'm going home now!". After that, Qiara hung up the phone unilaterally.

"Honey ... Mama will go away for a while to see your Grandma, Mama will come back later!". After kissing Zio's forehead, Qiara immediately ran out of Zio's room.

Because she was too panicked, Qiara didn't tell Julian that she was leaving.

It was four-five in the afternoon, Qiara had finished packing her things at home. She tells Liu that she went to town B to see her mother instead of running away from Julian.

After that, Qiara brought her small suitcase and some money that was withdrawn through her ATM.

Qiara takes a Taxi to city B because the journey from us A is quite far.

Unbeknownst to Qiara, Mr. Adamson's men followed her from behind.

"Looks like someone's following us, Miss!" Said the taxi driver after he looked in the rearview mirror.

Qiara immediately looked back, at that moment she could feel danger was approaching.

"Please find a quiet place! Because I have to ask them". Qiara said boldly.

Qiara didn't want them to follow her all the way to town B, because it would be dangerous for her mother. 

"Are you sure?". Ask the taxi driver. 

"Of course! I'm not a person who likes to hesitate!". Qiara replied confidently.

The taxi driver finally believed Qiara, he then turned his car into a quiet place. 

Entering sunset, the taxi that Qiara used finally arrived at a deserted field and it was getting dark.

In a wide and quiet field with drizzle that watered the night on the outskirts of A. Qiara got out of the taxi and stood up straight towards the car that was following her.

"What are you doing following me?" Qiara asked with a sly smile when several people who followed her were already in front of her. While some of the others were waiting in the black car.

"Miss, you must come with us right now!". Said one of the men who followed her.

"Why should I follow you? And who gave you orders?". Qiara asked sarcastically.
