"Your sister is angry with me and she has every right to be." Sophia's mother said to her, after Ifeoma had walked out of the hospital room.
"What sort of mother sells off her children's inheritance for crack? I have failed you children in every way, and I am very sorry, please forgive me."
Their mother looked genuinely sorry for her actions, and was crying as she apologized to Sophia.
"But why mummy? Why didn't you come to me when you needed help? Why didn't you talk to me about your addiction? I could have found a way to help you out, things wouldn't have gone out of hand like this, we would have been able to nip this in the bud."
Sophia was crying as well. When her sister had told her this morning that their mother was taking drugs, she didn't know it had gotten to the stage of her selling off their family company so she can be able to fund her addiction.
