It seemed that everything had happened because the Grahams did not think Ava was good enough, so the two families came up with a plan and set up the whole thing.

Madeline expressed her sorrow after hearing the whole story but she still felt happy for Ava.

"That Maisie girl is such a nice person. She sounds very resourceful and justice-minded. She wasn't even scared when she stood up for you."

Ava smiled cheerfully. "Yeah, Maisie is very brave and justice-minded. And she's really good to me too."

"Mm-hmm..." Madeline responded before continuing with a hint. "And there's someone else who's also very, very good to you."

"I know, it's you, Maddie,” Ava replied without thinking, only to hear Madeline saying that was not what she meant.

"I was talking about your mother."

"..."

Ava fell silent when Madeline said that.

"Ava, I know I wasn’t there at the scene, but I think your mother really wants to make it up to you and regrets what she did when she left you behind last time."
