Forsythia didn't know what was going on.
That day, the court that should have handled the car accident case didn't handle it.
And in the court, Mrs. Atkinson, who was a sobbing and hysterical witness for Norma Ruby, appeared as a weak party and somehow implicated the car accident case, leading everyone to think that Forsythia deserved to die and that it was a premeditated murder.
At that moment, she desperately wanted to escape from the guilt she felt towards Mr. Atkinson and the disappointment towards Gem Atkinson. So, during the second trial, she confessed to all the crimes.
While recalling the past, Forsythia sat on the floor beside the sickbed.
She held Mr. Atkinson's hand as always and pressed it against her cheek.
"Daddy, I just thought at the time, you were lying in bed, not knowing whether you were alive or dead, and it was all caused by me. I had to go to jail and accept the greatest punishment in the world to relieve the guilt in my heart."
