The police officers immediately tried to calm Wilma down.

“Ma’am, please calm down. First, you need to understand the situation. Your daughter has already been detained in another city. Once the staff there completes the paperwork, only then can she be transferred here. This takes time. Even if they agreed to send her right away, just the flight alone would take two hours. By the time she arrives, it’d be at least three.”
But Wilma wasn’t listening at all. She kept hammering on her demand.
“I don’t want to hear any of that! I don’t care how you do it, just bring my daughter here! Forget two or three hours, even if it takes all night, I’ll wait!”
The officers exchanged a helpless look.
“Ma’am, your daughter committed a crime. She’s been detained. We can’t just release a detainee because you demand it. If everyone acted like this, society would be in chaos.”
“I don’t care! If you don’t let me see my daughter, I’ll jump right now!”
As soon as Wilma said it, she shifted like she was ready to throw herself off.
“Wait, wait! Don’t be rash. We can talk this through! Please, don’t do anything drastic!” the police shouted in a panic.
Wilma froze for a moment, but her voice was firm. “I’m giving you three hours. If I don’t see my daughter by then, I’ll jump. Whether you bring her here or not is your problem!”
At this point, Rachel carefully stepped forward. “Ms. Wilma, listen to me. Sheryn broke the law. We can’t just bring her here because you demand it.”
The moment Wilma saw Rachel, her emotions spiked again. She jabbed a trembling finger at her and shouted.
“This is all your fault! How dare you show your face in front of me! If it weren’t for you, would I be separated from my daughter? This is all because of you!”
Rachel didn’t waste time on her accusations.,

“Let me remind you the law isn’t yours to decide, and it’s not mine either. All we can do is face reality. Instead of threatening the police with your own life, you’d do better to encourage Sheryn to reform herself inside, so she can come out and live right.
“That’s what a mother should do. Not risk her own life here, trying to pressure the police. You’re an educated woman. You should know that even if you really jump today, the police won’t release your daughter.
“And besides, she hasn’t caused anyone serious harm. Serving her time doesn’t mean her life is over. It’s not nearly as hopeless as you’re making it out to be.”
“You’re lying to me! If my daughter’s really locked up, what will happen to her future? Her life is ruined, and it’s all because of you! Rachel, you’re the one who deserves to die! You destroyed the perfect match between Tyler and Sheryn. If it weren’t for you, they’d be together by now, living happily as a family. We’d never have ended up
