Chapter Five
Ryan Gregory felt helpless and guilty, "I didn't say anything because I didn't want you to worry."
"But have you ever thought, I'm your mother, and you don't even tell me about things like this. If something happens, what am I supposed to do? I'd live with regret for the rest of my life! Is this what you want?"

"Ryan, what is family? They are the ones who are there for you when you encounter problems, willing to face and bear them with you, but you don't trust your family at all."
Lydia Mitchell spoke, also feeling ashamed, "Yes, I haven't been a good mother. I didn't take care of you when you were little, and we didn't see each other much throughout the year. I never let you feel the warmth of family, so after you got married, I realized these things, Sofia could give you. She's changed you a lot, which is why I didn't oppose you two and even grew to like this daughter-in-law. But how could you hide such a serious illness from us?"
