Harmony clenched her hands little by little and spoke in a faltering voice. "Tim is the heir—the sole heir—of the Barkers. He needs to have a child."
"Old Master Barker and Old Madam Barker liked me very much. They were happy to let Tim be with me before the accident, but once they found out that I could no longer get pregnant, they still treated me well but forbade Tim from being with me again."
"Before I was discharged from the hospital, Old Madam Barker even planned on accepting me as her granddaughter-in-law."
Harmony then looked up at Samantha. "It's pretty obvious what Old Madam Barker is trying to say. She's more than willing to repay me for saving Tim by promising me wealth and prosperity, but she won't allow me to be with Tim."
"I was still recovering from my injuries at that time and was heartbroken to hear such terrible news. I hated Old Madam Barker for being so ruthless, and I rejected her outright because I loved Tim very much."
