La mère: I don't know what happened to the affection I had for you. I think I don't have any left. It's gone. Like the share of my motherhood joy that you stole away from me, my Cédric. That sounds like a blame, but I prefer to be honest with you from now on. So, I'm going to finish your education. Alone... until the end. That's my burden. I'll go on since I can't leave you and you can't do anymore without me. Both of us are going to have to be very patient. With time, I hope I won't have to worry anymore. Maybe you will realize at what point, more than the others, you were the focus of special attention... and overwhelming love. That day, who knows, maybe we'll both smile again.
