Ten Days to Live, A Lifetime to Never Forgive

At the Mid-Autumn feast, my mother suddenly stood before all the guests and announced to the room that I was the true daughter of the Henson family.

My mind went blank. I couldn't believe my own ears.

She had not only refused me, she had come to loathe the way I behaved, and she meant to sever family ties after the Mid-Autumn feast and send me off to the old estate in Frostvale.
