I knew every teacher carries devices to record
evidence when they visit people’s homes. I
was only trying to see what I could record,
く
but I ended up recording this.
I couldn’t believe the things that Carol said. I
did not know how long she had been hurting
Lily, and why she did not trust me.
She might have thought that I was to blame,
so I wouldn’t get close to her.
It was my fault.
I couldn’t blame Lily, I had to think about what
I did to make things like this.
I lost control and slapped Carol.
“You bitch! How could you do this to my
daughter!”
Carol fell and started screaming in the corner.

Mark closed his eyes.
“I give you money for groceries and rent. You
can ask me for more, why would you use
Lily’s pictures to get money?”
“I didn’t say no, I just wanted to have another
kid, but you can’t do that!”
I wasn’t going to take it anymore, I will not let
anyone hurt my daughter.
Carol started crying on the floor.
“I just wanted a grandson, I never had
anything like that! Is there something wrong
with that?
“I did everything for you guys, take care of
your children. I was a good mother and cared
for all of you. You guys did not treat me the
same way!”
I took a breath and nodded to the cops.
They knew what I was going to do and took
her away.
I looked at Mark, he was not saying anything
and avoided eye contact. I knew that he was
not going to say anything.
I nodded and took my daughter.
When we got home, I cleaned my daughter
and took her to the hospital to check her
wounds. I bought her a new watch and
transferred to a new school.
transferred to a new school.
Lily was scared of me and avoided me.
She never did anything wrong and has to have
the life that she has.
I should have done something.
I started to spend more time with her.
I took Lily to the amusement park and to see
Carol get sentenced. I told her that bad deeds
would be punished like Carol.
Lily was getting better and better, and Mark
felt bad so he started to treat us like we were
his queen.
After a few years, my daughter started to get
better and got out of lying.
She graduated police academy after a few
years.
I will always be proud of my daughter!
