Cyan Sweetheart
She is not protecting her daughter but clearly making her daughter's life more difficult. Since the bastard father raped her, y didn't she hide from him & his family in the 1st place or fled from the city? Stupid! Im sure she still have him that's y. She is willing to sell her own daughter to help him in any way.
I really don't have a bit of a pity for this mother who is kneeling with a signboard being mistress of someone and begging for forgiveness. She is the worst human being without any dignity making her daughter's life hell. Why did she give birth if she was not even capable to raise her daughter with pride and happiness?? Does she really have a brain or an empty pot??
