Vera Xavier took a deep breath and said, "She's my biological mother, after all. I'm willing to let go of everything that's happened up to now. But if she hits me again, I will fight back. And if she tries to cause a scene or goes to the police station, I'll need you to be my witnesses."
Theresa Goodman nodded. Vera Xavier looked at Rona Langdon and said, "Mom, from the moment I came back to the city, I genuinely wanted to treat you well and be a good daughter. So please, stop hitting me. Stop cursing at me over every little thing. Let me be a good daughter to you."
Grandma Dixon remarked with a sigh, "Vera is just too kindhearted. After everything you've done, she's still thinking about being a good daughter."
