"Are you really my mother?"
As soon as these words left Avery's mouth, he regretted saying them.
His mother had just been acting so strange, and the weird energy coming off of her was something he had never seen from her before.
Yet, when he saw Serena's face become deathly pale, and a sadness in her eyes deeper than even during the time his father was in critical condition, Avery felt a stab in his chest from guilt.
While he was now certain that this was without a shadow of a doubt his mother, it was because no one would be able to fake how hurt she looked right now.
Having her son question whether she was actually his mother while wearing a suspicious expression had broken her heart.
The pain she was feeling right now was a lot worse than she could have expected. Causing her to start sobbing.
"I'm sorry mom. I shouldn't have said that." Avery said as he embraced her.
