Keira was slightly startled upon hearing this.

Isla went on. “As far as I know, my aunt hasn’t been in good health and had always resided in a sanatorium abroad. During her days back in the country, she has also been staying in a sanatorium, and my uncle went to see her several times. They have deep feelings for each other. Back in the day, to marry her, my uncle
