Instead, she chose to go somewhere far away by herself. The loneliest and most helpless day in her life was the day she saved our life! She had saved you! What did you do instead? You treated the savior of your life as the woman who kept pestering you. You treated her as a woman from the lowest position in this world. You were deeply afraid that she would ruin your family.
