Chapter 219 Innas Story 2 (1/2)
”I became an orphan when I was just a baby. I was told that when I was just months old, both my parents died in an accident. Something about a bus falling off a cliff during a storm.”
Inna saw Raghnall looking at her sadly and she knew what he was going to say so she interjected immediately.
”It didn't affect me much, don't worry. I never knew them so I never really had any attachments to them. I guess the only thing that I still feel for them would be the fact that it's such a waste that I wasn't able to know what they look like and how they were like. But, y'know, what's done is done.”
Inna shrugged but even with her nonchalance in the incident, Raghnall still felt sadness and pity for her. Deep down, although he barely shows it, he really loved his family. And to imagine a life where he never would have known who they were was… horrifying for him. He'd probably feel like there's always a missing piece in his life forever. So, despite Inna trying to convince him otherwise, he still couldn't help but feel sad for her.
”Anyways, apparently because of the crash, their bodies were unrecognizable and the ID's they had on them were the only distinction that they were who they were. The authorities tried their best to search for more but because of the storm, it was far too difficult and dangerous. But miraculously, out of the numerous people that were on that bus, I was the only one that survived that crash.…”
Inna snorted humorlessly.
”A bus filled with adults and the only one that survived was a couple of months old baby. Funny, right?”
”Your parents must've shielded you from everything. They probably did everything they could to protect you, even if it means dy--”
”Stop. Just stop. As much as I would want to have that idealistic and optimistic view, that wasn't the case. I knew that wasn't the case. My current parents knew of them. I was an accident baby. A fucking accident. They didn't plan for 'me' to happen. But you know what they were planning to do? They were planning to give me away to some stranger. Why? Because I would interfere with their lives.”

Inna inhaled sharply as she tried to remember the words she overheard when she was just three.
”They weren't married. Heck, they weren't together. It was just a one-time thing. My father had a wife, my mother had a job. Having 'me' in the middle obviously wouldn't make it pretty. So, having the chance of me disappearing through a 'natural' cause must've been such an appealing thing for them.”
”Well, jokes on them, they ended up dying though. But they still got half of their wish come true, huh? I was placed in an orphanage after the accident but the people who my original parents promised me to was still able to adopt me from there. Such a great coincidence, right?”
Hearing the sudden bitterness in her tone, Raghnall furrowed his brows.
”From who did you hear those details from? And how can you say that was the case for sure?”
Inna crossed her arms before her as she narrowed her eyes at Raghnall.
