After a while, she continued, "When your father hear the rumor, he was too angry to say a word. He broke several glasses on the spot." Do you know how sad we were that night? "But because of your work, we didn't disturb you. I thought your father would be so quiet, but from that day on, he secretly took the pills and hid them in his clothes, then threw them away. At that time, his health gradually got worse
