Ruby Murphy hasn't had it easy these years.
Forced to immigrate to an unfamiliar country, the disorientation and loneliness of being uprooted made her desperately seek support. Her neighbor, a kind-hearted and single man, showed her great care in her early days, and they quickly got together. In reality, back then, Ruby held resentment towards Edmund Wilson.
She hated him for not being able to protect her and Ryan, knowing she couldn't return to her country, and she also had to consider her family back home, so when Edmund came, she said a lot of harsh words.
At that time, her newlywed husband treated her fairly well, providing some comfort in her heart. But gradually, he began to reveal various shortcomings—smoking, drinking, gambling, even showing signs of violence. Eventually, Ruby discovered he was secretly taking drugs, and she was forced to earn money to support his expensive habits.
