“You'll find out soon enough,” Aaron’s answer echoed in Lena's ears, leaving her restless and unable to sleep.

The next day, Mrs. Lane arrived with chicken soup for Aaron and a bag full of fresh produce. ” These vegetables

are from a village | visited. They're all organic, no chemical fertilizers,” she gushed proudly.

Lena’s gaze followed her mother’s every move, scrutinizing her intently. Wherever she went, Lena's eyes

followed, making her incredibly uncomfortable.

“What are you staring atfor? It's creepy,” Mrs. Lane said.

“Mom, why are you so good to my uncle?” Lena finally asked.

“He’s my brother. Isn’t it normal forto care for him? You think everyone's as heartless as you?” Mrs. Lane

scolded her, throwing in an insult for good measure.

Lena didn’t retaliate to the insult. Instead, she pressed further, “It’s normal, sure, but the way you care for him

doesn’t feel like how you'd treat a brother. It feels more like...”

She paused before continuing, “Like how you'd treat your own son.”

Mrs. Lane was busy sorting vegetables into the fridge, her hands never stopping. “Exactly,” she replied

nonchalantly.

Her candidness startled Lena. Mrs. Lane picked up an eggplant and gestured with it. “When he was brought

home, he was this small. | didn’t even dare hold him. | was already in my twenties at the time. If I'd married

young, you'd probably be older than him now.”

“Your grandparents had to work to earn a living, and your grandmother had a bad back. So, most of the time, |

was the one holding him. Sometimes, when he cried at night, I'd take him to sleep in my room,” Mrs. Lane said,

her voice softening as she sank into her memories.

Her expression was so natural, without a trace of guilt or unease.

“Mom, was Dad your first love?” Lena abruptly changed the subject.

Mrs. Lane snapped out of her reverie and glanced toward the living room, where Gabriel was playing chess with

Aaron. She withdrew her gaze and replied calmly, “No.”

Lena’s heart sank. “Did you and your first love ever... have a relationship?”

Before she finished the sentence, Mrs. Lane shot her a look and tossed a handful of vegetables at her. “You nosy

brat! You're gossiping about your own parents now, huh?”

Lena caught the vegetables with quick hands. “I'm just asking. You're avoiding the question and getting all

flustered, which means it's true.”

“Shut your mouth and stop talking nonsense. Back in our day, men and women were much

nothing,” Mrs. Lane retorted, full of disdain.

Lena wasn’t deterred. She continued pressing for answers. “So, Dad was your first man then?”

“You little brat! Are you done yet?” Mrs. Lane raised her hand as if to hit her again.

Lena blocked her. “It’s a simple yes or no. Why are you so worked up?” -

“Of course, he was! Why are you asking all these weird questions? You've been acting strange all day,” Mrs. Lane

said, narrowing her eyes as she studied Lena.

Lena allowed her to stare. “Mom, | suspect Uncle is actually your biological son.”

Mrs. Lane froze, then widened her

eyes in disbelief. Finally, she

Their argument becso loud that it attracted the attention of the two men playing chess in the living room.

Gabriel and Aaron both cover to see what was happening.

Seeing one of them wiping tears and the other lowering her head, Gabriel grabbed a tissue and walked to Mrs.

Lane. “What's going on here?” he asked gently.

“Ask your wonderful daughter!” Mrs.

Lane pointed at Lena angrily. Nop,
