Gwendolyn looked incredulous. "Grandma, were you really that bold?" Lydia did not know whether to laugh or cry. "After he woke up, he ran away. He didn't return until I was pregnant. Once our child was born, he resumed his role as a doctor while I took care of the family. But fate is unpredictable. At the age of 16, our child died from drowning." Nash sighed inwardly. Lydia was his master's wife. The old man was a scoundrel, seeing as he was heartless enough to abandon his woman.
