Seeing that Bodger was about to go after James, Luna quickly held him back. Then, putting on her elder tone, she turned to James and said, “We want you to divorce Lily for your own good. A few years ago, Lily accidentally fell into the river. It was freezing, she was on her period, and injured. After we pulled her out, she had a high fever for nearly a week. The doctor said… said she was in the icy water too long and will most likely never be able to have children. James, you’re a good kid–how can you marry an infertile wife?”
