This is a heartbreaking story, @cryptofi. Two broken hearts: the wife who failed her husband (without knowing it), and the husband, who did not have the courage to tell his wife the truth. Perhaps one lesson to be learned from this story is that we should be honest with those we love.

Oh how sad. The tale of the missing hand was just a test for his wife. Unfortunately, she did not pass the test, and lost him - both his life and his love for her.
