The door clicked shut behind them. Lisa lunged at Ann, collapsing at her feet in an instant.
"Mom, please, you've got to help me," she pleaded desperately.
Lisa knew Ann had the softest heart. Ever since she was little, whenever she messed up, no matter how badly, Ann would always be there to patch things up.
Sobbing uncontrollably, Lisa cried, "They all want me locked up, none of them truly cares about me. Mom, it's taken me this long to see it, but you're the only one who loves me. You're my real mom, and I was wrong. I see that now."
Watching Lisa in such despair was like a knife to Ann's heart.
"Lisa, how could you do something like this? Didn't you learn from before? Drugging Chloe was such a cruel act. What were you thinking?"
Lisa clung to Ann's legs like they were her last hope.
"Mom, I know I messed up, and I regret it so much. I shouldn't have done it. But that was three years ago, and I was just a foolish kid. Mom, you're my only hope now."
Ann crouched down beside her, tears streaming down her face. Lisa looked so frail, like a shadow of her former self.
"Lisa, how can I possibly help? I don't have the power to fix this."
