Previously, her online reputation was in shambles, and Wendy pushed her to the brink, leaving her with no chance of redemption.
Helen, as Melody's biological mother, never once considered what kind of situation her daughter was facing. 'Ha, she knew but simply didn't care. She doesn't even seeas her daughter!' thought Melody.
Lucas sighed inwardly. Not all parents were qualified to be parents. It was just too easy to becparents, which was why there were so many unfit parents and unhappy children. "It's not your fault. It's their fault for mistreating you," Lucas reassured.
