Since that day, Lydia has taken leave.

She would gently wake Cynthia up every morning and carefully prepare breakfast for me. Whenever Cynthia wanted to be naughty, she would always stop her in time and patiently teach her what was right and wrong. In just one week, Cynthia seemed to have been reborn.

She often held my hand and said affectionately, "Stephen, I used to take your kindness for granted, so I indulged my temper. But now I understand that a wife should not always be willful, but should be gentle to her husband and be loyal to him."
