ALL of the memories that came flooding back to Aldus felt wonderful yet suffocating. The first six years of their marriage were blissful and happy. That was until he received painful news.
Aldus and Francine did not only finance some charitable institutions and fund their own foundations to help the needy. They also performed outreach programs for rural communities. Various diseases had been sprouting out of nowhere and he was always fearful of his wife's life. That was the reason why he wouldn't allow her to join any trip or travel that would be a risk to her health and safety. One particular trip changed their whole lives. They weren't informed beforehand that a cholera pandemic was in that particular area that they would be visiting. They might have ingested water that was infected.
