Part 78: Emily's Father, Mr. Moore

When Mother Miranda stopped speaking, Doctor Marcus gently asked her, “Mother Miranda, where is your husband?”

A shadow of sorrow crossed her face, but she answered, “My husband left us because of Harper. Most people say he is dead now, but I believe he is alive and will return soon.”

Despite the sadness in her eyes, she began her story. “Mr. Moore and I, Miranda, were students at the same college. We were great friends. Moore was an intelligent and kind man, and I liked him very much. We spent a lot of time together, dreaming about our future. After completing our education, we planned to get married. However, after college, I had to leave due to financial constraints while Moore went on to pursue higher education at the university. He urged me to join him, but my financial problems held me back. He went alone, but he promised he would return. And he did. After completing his studies, he joined the government service and came back to me. He met my parents, and we got married.”
