Lawrence Winters was even more surprised: "But you are her parents, the people closest to her. How could you not know the direct cause when she's in this state?"
This statement made the Blythe couple hang their heads in shame and murmur, "Great Heavenly Master Winters, you're right to reprimand us. We truly haven't been competent parents. Because she's always been so well-behaved, never causing trouble or complaints, always listening to whatever we say, and she's almost eighteen now, we've been slightly neglectful..."
Lawrence Winters didn't want to hear these meaningless words of self-reproach.
But seeing the couple so guilt-ridden, she also didn't want to blame them too much.
Given the situation, blaming wouldn't help. What they needed was to find the root of the problem and solve it.
