The Cherished Wife

"But she didn't volunteer to get sick. I had no choice myself all those years ago. Besides, Janet is perfectly fine now, and she's not like her mother. I've cared for her for so many years, and have you ever seen her harm anyone?" Milo's face was pale, and he looked like it

After all, Brookville is very different from Capiton, and he might end up bumping into an unsavory crowd given that he's not well-versed with the layout of the land!"
