Selma Payne's POV:
"You're right, child. You should go to the Spring Rain Pack to save your father's life.
"As for me, I also have things I should do. Since I have no choice but to push my daughter to the edge, let me, this incompetent mother, accompany you.

I'll do my best to ensure your safety at all costs.
