Even though Gothel betrayed Drizella/Ivy, I still think she cares about and maybe even loves Drizella like a daughter. Villains tend to act pure evil and can't love but find love and happiness in the end like the Evil Queen, Zelena, and countless others. She may have felt like her revenge and motives came first, before Alice and Drizella. I'd believe that if Gothel wasn't shown to be very annoyed with Ivy...and pushed her down a well. I don't know if she truly cares about anything or if she just works based on instinct to manipulate.

Gothel's in a weird place. Between Regina and Zelena, who show their emotions behind their actions, and Cruella, who simply revels in darkness.
