00:00I was having lunch with Jace and his parents.
00:02A pack guard said Liam wanted to see me.
00:04Jace walked out with me.
00:05I hadn't seen Liam for a full year.
00:07When I saw him now, I was honestly shocked.
00:09He was so thin, so worn down.
00:11His face was covered in cuts made by fingernails.
00:14Almost ruined.
00:15The second he saw me, Liam rushed toward me.
00:17Jace blocked him.
00:19Liam dropped to his knees, his eyes bloodshot, tears falling hard.
00:22Ava, Ava, please forgive us.
00:26Please forgive me.
00:27I'm begging you.
00:28Come home.
00:29Mom's dying.
00:30Please.
00:31When I returned to the Blackwood house again, I was stunned.
00:34The table was broken.
00:36The chairs were snapped.
00:37The couch had been burned.
00:38The spiral staircase was covered in bloody clothes.
00:41I covered my mouth and almost threw up.
00:44I clenched my hands and looked at Liam.
00:46Where's your mom?
00:48She's not just my mom.
00:49She's our mom, Ava.
00:51She isn't.
00:52Mom stumbled out of a room.
00:54She pulled me into her arms.
00:58Ava.
00:59My baby.
01:00I'm so sorry.
01:03I should have never let...
01:06I should have never let them take you from me.
01:09Somehow, mom regained memories of the past life.
01:12She felt extremely guilty toward me and said she regretted adopting Chloe.
01:17I'm back.
01:18Chloe heard it.
01:19After that, she completely lost control.
01:22Her behavior became increasingly dangerous and unpredictable.
01:25My dad's last wish was for you to take care of me!
01:31Have I done something wrong?
01:33I love you all!
01:35You shouldn't abandon me!
01:37Everyone in the Blackwood family was terrified.
01:40The whole family watched her even more carefully.
01:42Only before, it had been out of pity.
01:45And now, it was out of fear.
01:47But she still felt unsafe.
01:49She began insisting that everyone stay with her day and night.
01:53Whenever anyone left, she would erupt in panic and rage.
01:59Liam and Caleb eventually dropped out because the situation had become unbearable.
02:04Because of that, the Stone family and the Blackwood family had a terrible fallout.
02:09The Blackwoods finally admitted Chloe to a psychiatric hospital.
02:16Were you raising daughters?
02:17Or running some sick survival game?
02:20Seeing which one earned the right to be loved?
02:22Every girl you raised ends up unstable.
02:24If you couldn't love two daughters equally,
02:27why bring another child home?
02:29Her eyes widened.
02:31Tears streamed down her face.
02:32Then, as if the last bit of strength had left her body,
02:36she collapsed to her knees.
02:37I took Jace's hand and left without looking back.
