Instinct by Haiza Tyri

Instinct

Jarod’s instinct was to help me. After perceived betrayal, after the discovery of all the Centre had done to him—all I had done to him, he still reached out to help me. How did he possibly turn out like this? After everything we did to him, after the stunted life we gave him, how is it that his instinct is to give and protect? How did a boy who was never loved become a man who pours his love out on others? Even on Jacob. Even on me. I raised him. Is it possible that I did something right?
