Aimeen felt incredibly guilty after being criticized so badly by the crowd.
She stubbornly yelled back at them, 'As if you don't beat your own children! Naughty children need to be beaten! Every mother needs to discipline their children!"
Aimeen's self- righteous argument only further upset the crowd.
"You're not wrong, but you don't have to be so hard on her! You nearly beat her to death! We can hear you from so far away!"
"Yeah! Look at the poor girl, her face is beaten blue and black!"
Suddenly someone shouted out loud.
Dory had fainted.
After being beaten up by Aimeen, Dory was dazed but was still doing her best to stay conscious.
But she couldn't hold on anymore.
After someone noticed that she fainted, they immediately called the emergency hotline.
As they waited for the ambulance to arrive, the crowd continued scolding Aimeen again.
"Look! You've beaten her unconscious! How cruel can you be?!"
"Yeah! You're much too violent with her! Are you sure you're her mother?! Is she your real daughter?!"
"She's such an obedient girl too! She's so young but she's already learned to cook and clean your house for you! But you! You just play cards and gamble every day! Yet, you are still not happy with a daughter like her! How dare you call yourself a mother!"
"Listen here Aimeen! Just because Dory is your daughter doesn't mean you can just beat her up whenever you please! That's child abuse! That's a crime! I'll call the police on you!"
The neighbors were relentless.
Aimeen was showered with accusation after accusation!
But Aimeen didn't dare to speak against them!
She vented all of her anger on Dory instead!
Aimeen cursed her stupidity!
"It's all because of that stupid girl!"
All these people wouldn't be here if it weren't for her!
She always took her beatings without issue! She just so happened to pass out this time?!
Aimeen felt like Dory had planned for this to happen to her!
