The Sound of Falling Blossoms
The rules of the Lawson family prevented their heir from marrying women who were from an ordinary background.
But the eldest son of the Lawson family, James Lawson, just had to fall in love with a woman named Laura Jackson, who was a fish seller.
He gave up his right of inheritance just to be with her. He was punished by his family by being whipped 99 times. He was also forced to kneel for three whole days.
His shirt was covered in blood, but he still said to Laura with a smile, "It's alright, Laura. I just want to be with you."
In the end, the Lawson family finally allowed James and Laura to be together, but on one condition: James had to leave the Lawson family an heir.
After that, what James said to Laura the most was, "Just give me a little more time."
The first time he said that was when he wanted Laura to wait for him to get another woman pregnant.
