Maria's POV
I think I rubbed my ears as I was thrown aback by that revelation. I wanted to believe that it was a joke until Alice repeated it again— Maria, I am your mother.
Everything seemed to confuse me. For a moment, I wasn't able to form words in response.
"I told you not to tell her," Mother snapped at Alice, even going as far as hitting Alice.
"Mother, what's going on here?" I faced my mum.
"Don't listen to her," Mother whispered and held my hand gently. "That's my sister who I told you was a seer. She actually ran mad. None of her words are logical."
I narrowed my eyes, my head becoming filled with thoughts as I tried remembering what mother told me about her sister. She mentioned her sister's name was Alice, and she ran mad from being a seer.
