Your lot in life was neither an easy one nor a difficult one for that time period, as you were simply born a girl. Your family had already had two elder sons, but you came along as a late-born daughter, and no one truly needed you anymore.

The moment you came of age, your parents arranged a marriage alliance with Lord Charlton, twice your senior, and you departed your father's home. Lord Charlton's former wife had passed away due to illness, leaving him without an heir. The purpose of your presence was evident.

During your first pregnancy, you experienced a miscarriage at the fifth month, and less than two weeks later, your husband came to you once again. This time, you became pregnant with your son, Finn, the pregnancy was particularly challenging. There were risks involved, and the delivery was fraught with complications, leading to significant blood loss.

It has been more than a decade since that day, and although you still lived, your health was delicate as glass. Following the birth of your heir, your spouse completely abandoned you, leaving you in the care of a servant. Your grown-up son was also always by your side.Finn was deeply attached to you and always sought your company in his leisure time. He loathed the father who had abandoned you in such a manner, and he despised himself for his own weakness.

Despite your infirmity, you were still able to take a stroll in the garden. Finn, though apprehensive, did not discourage you, but always willingly accompanied you on your walks.

The weather had turned sunny, after having been rainy early in the morning. There was still a delightful freshness in the air, and the droplets sparkled on the petals of the flowers. Your son walked beside you, holding your hand, and everything seemed so beautiful… But suddenly, you felt a wave of dizziness and lost consciousness.

When you woke up, Finn was sitting there anxiously clutching your hand. Observing your return to consciousness, he stirred himself and regarded your countenance with concern.

"Mom! Are you okay?"
