I was sure that Malia was still hiding something from me. But never did I ever think it was that. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that for so many years, Malia's mother has been held hostage. All along, Malia has been alone all this time?
"You're telling me that you haven't seen your mother for seven years?" I dare ask.
"Not physically, no. I get calls from time to time. At first they were only regular calls until I begged Marino to at least allow video calls so I could see her. But since that day… That time I went out of her hospital room, leaving you with her… that was the last time I had ever seen her. I tried to go back, but Marino and his goons wouldn't let me."
