Joyce Leighton was rendered silent by Scarlett Xavier's words.
It seems her heart was truly wounded, to the point she no longer had the energy to argue with Scarlett.
She pleaded to Scarlett, "Can you go find Yasmine Morgan and persuade her to come back for me?"
Scarlett replied, "Am I really that capable? She doesn't even listen to you, why would she listen to me?"
"You're her sister, aren't you?"
"She's never considered me her sister."
"Scarlett," Joyce Leighton said, "You and she are sisters. In this world, she's the only blood-related sister you have. When I'm old and gone, when her father is no longer in this world, you'll find she's your only family. Please help her, won't you? I'm begging you, dear."
"..." Scarlett had never seen Joyce Leighton speak so earnestly.
She found her mother quite interesting.
Although she showed little care for her on normal days, when troubles arose, Scarlett was the person she wanted to rely on most.
