It was difficult to give birth to Lincoln. His mother died of a massive hemorrhage.
As her younger brother, whose life was at the price of her mother's life, Lucy cared a lot about Lincoln.
"What do you want to say?" Lincoln asked.
"She's your nephew's ex-wife." Lucy sighed.
"Hmm." He said nothing else.
"You?" Lucy looked at him. "Have you thought it through?"
"Yes."
"The family will not agree," Lucy said with certainty.
"Our family did not agree on your marriage with Palmer."
"So, I make a clean break with the family. And I still regret it now!"
Lucy wanted to persuade Lincoln not to do the same stupid thing!
"Lincoln, you are different from me. The family values men more than women. They can break up with me, but will never allow you... Moreover, you are the best one among your peers.
"You know how harsh the family is. It is even cruel. You can't leave without being crippled!"
