Kapitel 71: Chapter 71 : Visiting The Koishikawas (3)

Ryouichi was rendered speechless by the amount of scars that were scattered across Midori's body.

Each scar was a silent poem of the pain Midori endured during their marriage. Marks that would forever remind her of the hardships she went through while she carried the surname Koishikawa.

"Midori-san, I am deeply sorry," Ryouichi finally had nothing else to offer in defense. "I failed as your husband. I promised you happiness, but I brought you grief instead."

Tears welled up in Midori's eyes as she recounted the history of each scar that the original host carried in her body. She was a pampered Ojou-sama from the Takigawa family.

Marrying into the Koishikawa family hadn't been a step up into a life of freedom; it was a free fall into a deep and dark abyss. Every breath felt choked, every hope dashed against the opulent walls.

Her eyes were clouded with despair, her days a symphony of sorrow.
