Chapter 38: Ellis learnt the truth 

"... If Alice Johnson was still Alive, would you be able to treat her daughter this way, you think she would remain your friend after seeing your inhumane behaviour to her daughter. What kind of a woman are you? You are a terrible friend and a horrible mother. I don't ever want to be like you. If this is the kind of person you had always been, then my mom was wrong in her choice of friend. I may never have known my mom, we might have missed each other on the edge of life, but she wouldn't be this terrible to your son if the table had turned around. But it's alright, Leah Hayden. Anything is possible in this life. I won't bother myself going after your son. I leave your son to you. But one day, you will take the path that Alice took and meet her on the other end. Tell her how much you love and treat her daughter. Then your grandchildren will know every single thing and part you played in the relationship between their parents and they will curse your memory, and never come to visit you
