"He, why is he here too?"
"Who?" Melissa didn't know who Grace was talking about, so she asked.
Grace hugged her directly and buried her face. "Mom, I don't want to see him at this time. I'm so embarrassed and so ugly. How can I let him see me now? He didn't like me in the first place. Now he will be even more disappointed to see me now"
Her voice was so low that only Melissa could see her. After all, Grace was her daughter. How could she still not understand what Grace meant?
It turned out that Grace was talking about Kennedy.
Grace had lost weight in the past two days, had not been dressed up in the detention center. When Kennedy came to see her now, as a girl, she felt her image had collapsed in front of the person she loved.
If it was before, Melissa would definitely help Grace tide over this difficulty.
But now compared to her image, her fame and fate were the most important, so Melissa didn't care it. Instead, she grabbed Grace’s hand and whispered, "My dear, leave him alone. Mom is here to save you today. For what you did wrong before, you have to apologize to them today, admit your mistakes seriously, and don’t do it again in the future, you know?"
After Grace was buried in Melissa's arms, her body trembled fiercely. Then she raised her head and asked in a low voice, "Mom, what are you talking about?"
"Apologize, OK?" Melissa stared at her and warned in a low voice, "It took me a lot of effort to ask for an opportunity. If you don't apologize properly, this opportunity will be gone."
"You begged for an opportunity? You begged that woman?" Grace suddenly became excited, and her eyes burned with anger and hatred. Her emotion stunned Melissa. Melissa gritted her teeth and squeezed Grace’s hard. She lowered her voice and said, "Listen carefully, Grace. You must seriously apologize to them today and sincerely repent. You are not allowed to show such a look. This incident was originally your fault. !"
Her fault?
What did she do wrong? Grace didn't think she did anything wrong. If she was wrong, it was that she didn't splash the sulfuric acid on Alice's face quickly and accurately, so that Alice was still standing here safe and sound.
"I won't apologize," Grace said harshly, "It's not my fault, she robbed my man first!"
"Stupid girl, what are you talking about?" Melissa's eyes widened, and an unclear premonition rose in her heart. Her daughter was unruly and unwilling to apologize now. She said, "Do you know you may have to be kept here for a long time if you don't apologize today?"
What?
Grace felt a little frustrated when she heard that she was going to be locked up in such a place.
But apologize to the woman who robbed her of her man? How could she do it?
"Choose one by yourself, go out after making an apology, or stay here without apologizing. I believe you know which one to choose."
Having said that, Melissa let go of Grace, intending to let her make her own choice.
After she stood up, she glanced at Alice with a smile, and said softly, "I have already told her. She has suffered a lot here in the past few days, and she knows she is wrong and has regretted it."
Alice glanced at Melissa, and felt that Melissa was really hardworking.
In front of her maternal love, Alice still respected her, so she nodded and smiled at her.
