With a gasp, Isla Mamet covered her face and cried out desperately, "Stop, please don't say anymore."
"No, I must speak. As a doctor, you've failed. As a mother, you've equally failed. Countless mothers in this world love their daughters dearly, but the extent of your indulgence without bounds is rare to see. The way you've spoiled her to the point of leading her down a path of no return is also rare to see. Therefore, stop using your role as a mother as an excuse to spoil your daughter, and stop using your guilt for past wrongs as a reason to continue this indulgence. Your indulgence isn't love; it's harm, and it's aiding and abetting tyranny. Isla Mamet, how much longer do you intend to be an accomplice to tyranny? Have you ever considered that it was your repeated indulgence that led to your daughter's present state?"
Faced with Gem Atkinson's relentless interrogation, Isla Mamet could only shake her head repeatedly, unable to utter a single word.
