Because of deep love, even during a quarrel, you don't want to be far from that person.
But there's another layer of identity added to this love, which is fatherly love.
The love for one's child surpasses any personal emotions, but is losing oneself the right thing for a parent?
"Do you think, if having a child means losing yourself, are such parents great, or is it pathetic?" Polly Sutton asked.
There was silence from Grace Yates's side for a moment. After thinking, she said, "Back then, when my dad met with trouble, he forcibly severed ties with me and asked Mr. Jones to take care of me. He was afraid of involving me—that might be the love of a parent."
"And you? Is this what you wanted?"
Grace Yates felt puzzled. Was this what she wanted?
Of course not, but when she learned of this matter, it was too late. Her father was in trouble, and she was investigated for a period. Later, thanks to Mr. Jones's mediation, she wasn't implicated.
