Maria had just graduated from college, and she and he were almost the same age. Initially, they lived with his parents, but when jack found work, they moved to a rented apartment. A year later, their son was born, and they named him after jack father.
she didn’t work; she stayed at home with their son. He had a good income, so there was no need for his wife to work. One evening, Maria developed a fever.

Throughout the journey, could only think of one thing: “Why do his parents treat him this way?
Why is it easier for him to communicate and ask his mother-in-law for help than his own mother? I have a son too, and I will never treat him this way. I will always stand by his side and support him in everything.” Since then, he had firmly decided that he would never turn to his own parents again, come what may. Their indifference had deeply hurt him.
