Chapter 54- Could It Be Him?

I blinked. My mouth was slightly open as I stared at her in disbelief. My chest rose and fell, but I couldn't catch my breath.
What was she saying?
She twisted my words so badly that I didn't even recognize them anymore. I had never said anything close to that. I never meant what she was claiming.
"No… no, ma," I said, shaking my head quickly. "That's not what I meant at all. I never wanted her to be punished. It was never in my heart. I swear it wasn't."
I stepped forward a little, lowering my voice as I pleaded.
"All I wanted was for her to be forgiven. That's all. Just forgiveness. I didn't even think about punishment. Please… just let her go."
My voice cracked a little.
I looked her in the eyes, trying to reach whatever part of her might still have a heart — if it existed at all.
