Drake and Helena feared being ostracized from the Shear clan.

Desperation overcame Helena as she seized Reyna's aunt, urging, "Reyna, Maggie may not understand, but she's still my child, whom I carried for ten months. Can't she apologize to you as a sign of reconciliation?"

Reyna shrugged off her grasp. “Do you believe an apology will absolve everything? What about the injustice my daughter endured in prison?"

With a pained expression, Helena persisted, "If that's what it takes, would you be satisfied if you hurt me instead? Please, spare my daughter."

Seeing her mother humbling herself, Maggie couldn't bear it and rushed to her side.
