Chapter 43

After Old Mr. Constance passed away, Old Mrs. Constance’s health rapidly declined. Therefore, she had been practicing vegetarianism, meditation, and Buddhism at the Constance Residence during this period.First, John asked after Old Mrs. Constance. Then, he went into the main topic. “Grandma, I have something I would like to discuss with you.”Old Mrs. Constance replied, “Go on. What is it that’s making you so serious?”The last time he had been so formal and serious, he had informed the family that he was going to divorce Sophia. Even now, she could clearly recall the determination in his expression and his gaze at the time.To be honest, she disapproved of John and Sophia’s divorce. Just like how she had not approved of John’s marriage to Sophia. In her opinion, marriage was not a game.Moreover, she did not believe in the concept of using an auspicious event to flush away the ‘bad luck’ of a critically-ill patient and curing them in the process.In the beginning, when Old Mr. Constance first brought up the idea of breaking off the marriage agreement with the Baileys and marrying Sophia instead, she had been the first to oppose the idea.
