Mrs. Murong was still gripped by a full-body unease long after her son and daughter-in-law left home.
It's not that she couldn't figure it out, but rather that she had figured it out yet struggled to accept it...
People are always like this, quick to criticize others' mistakes but reluctant to confront their own.
