"I'm Mila's mom, but I've let her down. You know, her dad's not a good guy. He cheated and had a child with another woman. Mila barely felt her father's love growing up. When I fell ill, he abandoned me. She married you to help me."

She looked at Isaac earnestly and continued, "She's always lacked a sense of security, ever since she was little. My unhappy marriage made her skeptical about her own. She probably kept her job because she didn't want to end up like me. I might be selfish, but I've always said she shouldn't quit her job for anyone."

Isaac remained silent for quite some time.

He lost his parents at a young age and never experienced their love.

However, his family had always shown him love and care.
