The most important thing right now is to calm Mrs. Thompson down.
When people get impulsive, their brains stop thinking.
"Mom, don't rush, evidence matters in everything," Mary Perryne softly advised, "You can't just blindly accuse Sylvia. Let's sit down and figure this out! If Sylvia really is responsible, I won't condone her actions and will insist she apologizes to Viola."
"If it's not her, then who else could it be!" Mrs. Thompson glared at Mary Perryne, "She brought Iris White home yesterday, and today, Iris showed up at the hospital with Viola's ID to get an abortion. Explain this to me!"
Mrs. Thompson had watched Sylvia grow up.
She had always been a handful from a young age.
"Mom, while it's true Iris is Sylvia's friend, you can't just think that Sylvia stole the ID. It's not fair to her." Mary didn't want to falsely accuse Sylvia, the daughter she raised, without any evidence.
