"I married you with the intention of growing old with you. Little did I know that the relationship I seized using underhanded means wouldn't last long. You didn't fall in love with me even after you grew old." Sandra was drenched in tears.
In a flash of realization, Spencer asked, "You're a medical practitioner? You were the one who invented Love Potion?"
Sandra closed her eyes and nodded." Love Potion brought our relationship to fruition but it also ended i t. All my life, my success and failure in my romantic relationship are all due to Love Potion."
Spencer looked surprised. "Who are you?"
Sandra said, "Do you remember the time you were injured in Mount Pearl? When your life was hanging b y a thread, there was a barefooted doctor with a veil over her head who saved your life."
Spencer looked astonished. "You're the barefooted doctor who saved my life back then?"
Sandra nodded.
Spencer held her hand emotionally. "Do you know how long I’ve been searching for you?"
Sandra nodded, and tears streamed down Spencer’s
face. "I know. I know it all. But you know what? It was at that time that I fell in love with you."
Spencer said with great heartache, "Why didn't you tell me your identity even after so many years? If you had told me you're the barefooted doctor who saved m y life, I don't think you'd even need Love Potion... because I had already fallen for you at the time."
Sandra cried her heart out. "As stipulated in the Davis family's rules, we aren't allowed to use our family name once we've made the decision to leave the family. That's why I removed my family name when I entered the Yorks."
