I just sat here for 30 minutes with my mouth open. When Ada saw those scars on Zara's stomach.. ………. I actually had to pause. My sister almost took a surrogacy job last year and now I'm calling her IMMEDIATELY. This is not just a story. This is a warning. Part 2 better come soon because I need to know if those women are still trapped in there.
