When Love Through the Years Were Just in Vain

From the back cover

For four years, a wife has shared a quiet, respectful marriage with Kevin, a professor whose reserve never seemed to waver. Wanting a child to close the distance between them, she begins preparing for pregnancy, only to watch her husband turn strangely cold toward Lucy, his beautiful new student whom every man notices. He scolds her, avoids her, yet cannot quite ignore her.

When an explosion strikes the laboratory, Kevin passes his wife and throws himself in front of Lucy, letting the burning liquid pierce his skin without a cry. At home, small signs gather: a mop that breaks after four years, a handprint on the glass, a coat carried for another woman, flowers left to wither. The wife keeps wiping away marks that will not come clean.

Respect and stability may not be the same as love, and the distance in this marriage is no longer silent.
