Chapter 16

After his wife was buried, and his child was out of the care of the midwife,
he found that his new baby, the last remaining piece of his lost love, was
inconsolable. The baby cried night and day, and the screaming and impotence
the father felt at being unable to do anything for it, after being unable to
do anything for his wife, was wearing on his mind. Eventually it came to the
point that he could no longer deal with his child and decided to go through
with his plans earlier. As his wife was lowered into the ground, he vowed
that his son would become a surgeon, that no one would ever have to suffer
the pain he felt again.So he set off to find a surgeon that would take in
his child and teach him. He had the best of intentions.
