She didn't hesitate dropping her 5-year-old from that bridge into the unforgiving rocks some 80 feet below.

She was perfect, so is her husband. Having an ugly son is not acceptable.

Her husband was devastated, while she did a lot of faking.

A year passed and she gave birth to another, but this time it's a beautiful baby girl.

He was once again satisfied, and at last she too.

Some 5 years later, she had a walk with her daughter in that familiar bridge.

Midway through, her daughter hugged her very tightly.

"What's wrong sweetheart?" She asked, her daughter replied with a whimper.

"I'm scared. So scared. I love you mommy, I've always loved you"

"Oh, I love you too sweetheart, but what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid you'll drop me off this bridge, again"
