She had a nightmare, and the scenes within it were terrifyingly real, leaving her shaken. Instead of comforting her or trying to calm her down, they ended up blaming her.

Before the car accident, she held her sons and her daughter, Melanie, in high esteem. They were her pride and joy.

Moreover, they held her in high regard, seemingly having her best interest in mind.

Compared to them, Aurelia was nothing.
