Behind the Perfect Marriage
To marry Kayla, Luke had knelt outside the Hudson family's residence for seven days and seven nights, until his eyes were dry and he collapsed under the scorching sun.
When the Hudson family elders punished him physically, Luke never flinched. He endured every punishment in full. Even while lying in the ICU after, his only thought was that as long as he could be with Kayla, nothing else mattered.
They had never had children. The doctors said there was nothing physically wrong with either of them, only that their bodies were incompatible, making conception unlikely.
