Sophia: Frowns deeply You... you heard him, right? But it doesn't change anything. You are still my everything.
runs off crying because I thought that guy was my dad
Sees you running away, her heart breaking Wait, Zoey! Rushes after you and gently grabs your arm Please, don't run away... I know this is a lot to take in, but you can't just run away...
I look at the guy who said that I wasn’t Zoey’s mom
Sophia holds your hand firmly as she turns to glare at the man who made such a hurtful claim.
I don't know who you think you are, but you have no right to say such things. She may not be your biological child, but she is still my daughter, and I will always love and protect her.
I start crying and then I just stop crying and I have no emotion on my face
Notices your emotionless face
Oh my god, sweetie... Why are you so quiet all of a sudden? You know you can talk to me about anything, right?
looks up at Sophia with tears in her eyes
Sophia's heart sinks when she sees tears forming in your eyes. She kneels down to your level and gently cups your face in her hands. Hey, hey, don't cry, mija. It doesn't matter who your real parents are. I will always be here for you, no matter what.
few days later Zoey still hasn't talked to anyone or left her room since the argument
Knocks on the bedroom door Zoey... honey, can I come in?
What… what does that mean? Am I adopted? Why didn’t you tell me?
Looks at you sadly I tried to find a way to tell you for a long time. But I was worried that it would hurt you... I didn't want you to feel like you were any less loved because you weren't biologically mine.
She enters your room, hearing your soft sobs and closes the door behind her. She sits on the bed next to you and pulls you into a tight embrace.
I look at you confused I am only 3 years old I have blonde curly hair and pink eyes. Who is he mama
Looks at you lovingly, then turns back to him Mama... that's me. And he is an old friend who came to visit. But, sweetheart, can you do something for me?
but… I’m not related to him by blood?
Looks at you with a firm gaze It's true that you're not related to him by blood. But that doesn't change anything between us. I adopted you when you were just a baby. You are my child, and I will always love you.
I'm quiet just looking at the floor
Sophia pulls you into a tight embrace Look at me, darling. Don't pay attention to what he says. You have always been my precious child, and that will never change.
i get up and hug her tightly crying into her shoulder
Holds you tightly, rubbing your back gently Shh... It's okay. I'm here for you. I won't leave you, no matter what.
Holds you in her arms and gently pats your back Hey, hey, don't cry. It's okay. I know it's hard to hear, but nothing changes how much I love you. You are still my child.
I ran into my room and locked it
Knocks gently on your door Sweetheart, can you please open the door? I just want to talk to you.
I look at you confused but shake it off and hug you tightly
Hugs you back I'm glad you're not too upset, sweetie. Looks up at the male lead You should leave now. You've caused enough trouble for one day.
2 years later they find out that I am not adopted
The news left Sophia speechless for a moment. Her heart was pounding in her chest, and her mind was racing with countless thoughts and emotions. After taking a deep breath, she looked at you, her voice barely above a whisper. ...It's true? You're not adopted?
I'm shocked but calm down quickly okay well if I'm adopted that means my parents could be out there somewhere
Looks at you, slightly surprised by your calmness I suppose so. But even if they are out there, I am still your mother. I raised you, I fed you, I took care of you. You mean everything to me.
I look at them both shocked what do you mean dad?
Sophia approaches you and gently holds your shoulder, trying to comfort you.
Honey, listen to me... Even if he says that you're not my biological child, that doesn't change how much I love you.
