Chapter 574
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."
"Mom, you can. You're the only one who can. Please, ask Chloe to drop the charges. Beg her to forgive me. She listens to you more than anyone. If you ask her to write a letter of forgiveness, I know she'll do it."
Ann's gaze grew complicated as she looked at Lisa.
"I can't do that, I can't pressure Chloe."
"Mom, please, time is running out. If you don't help, I'm really going to end up in prison. Do you want to see me locked away forever? Can you just abandon me? We've been there for each other for twenty years. You're my mom. Can you really leave me hanging?"
Ann's heart was breaking.
"Mom, I'm begging you, help me. You're the only one who can. I've realized that you're the only one who truly cares for me. Once I'm out, I' leaving the Meadows family behind. I've seen who they really are. Blood doesn't mean everything. You raised me, and I have no emotional ties with them."
"When I get out, I'll do whatever you say. We'll live together, maybe start a small business. I won't cause trouble anymore, I won't be vain, and I won't dream of marrying rich. F stick by you and live a simple life. I'll take care of you as you age Mom,
it's me, Lisa, the daught
you raised
with so much love for twenty years."
Ann felt her heart shatter.
"Lisa, you're realizing this too late."
Tears poured down Ann's cheeks, but she still wiped Lisa's away. "Lisa, since you understand your mistake, let's focus on making things right,,
okay? No matter what happenset
you're always my daughter, and I'll never abandon you. I'll get
everything ready for when you come out. If you do end up in prison, work hard and behave well. You might even get a reduced sentence..."
Before Ann could finish, Lisa shoved her away in a frantic burst of emotion.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
