Her eyes were frosty as she thought, How can anyone be so shameless as to claim a stranger as his wife?
Later, covered in wounds, he knelt on both knees and begged the heavens to show him mercy just once.
I am willing to give up everything within my grasp. All I ask is for one chance to see you again.
She gazed up at the sky too, silently praying in her heart: I am willing to give up everything. Please, just let me be lucky one more time.
