203 Her Mother Is Not Here

Onita stilled for a moment.Her eyes were looking here and there but not at Neil.He did not say a word to coax her.He knew,that she needed time to answer.Finally,breaking the silence,Onita said,"Alicia's mother is not in the picture.I am her legal mother and have adopter her legally."

Shaking his head,Neil asked the same question,"Yes,I am aware of that.I have read your papers,but I need to know how an heiress from Country A became a destitute single mother to an orphan girl in country C.Even if you had come here to adopt,you could have just gone back.Why give up your studies and family.Onita,you need to understand that though the court is impartial,people are mostly not.Yes,evidence is important but so are the emotions.The law will guide without partiality but the judge will rule with humanity.To win,we will have to create a balance of both."
