"I remember, I once told you that I would have Norma Ruby withdraw the lawsuit, and as for dad and mom, they wouldn't sue you either, and they wanted you to stay at home peacefully to nurture the baby, giving birth to the child. Now that I think about it, with your mindset at that time, you probably took my advice as an indication of winning favor through our offspring. You thought that I would stand by you only because of the child. So, you'd rather abort the baby than use it to maintain that fragile relationship. Am I right?"

"It turns out that we have many, many problems between us, which cannot be solved simply by my indulgence and boundless pampering of you."
