" Please stay with me. I really need you."
Arya repeated those words once she sensed the hesitation in him. His next words cut through her heart like a sword would.
" Bird, she has been needing you since you gave birth to her. Yet, you never thought of her.Give me a good reason why I should stay back now."
The mother felt guilty all over again. He was right in all accounts. Her baby needed her but she never cared. She didn't even know how the girl looked.
Arya knew deep in her heart that she must be the worst mother in the world. What she was doing was punishing an innocent baby for someone else's mistakes.
She tried to look at her baby on several occasions. Every time the result was worse than before. Whenever she got close to the baby, the events of that night would play in her mind.
