I honestly wanted to like the duchess after seeing her circumstances but she's to cynical for me with the way she treats her son Issac and the family in general, she could have such a genuine redemption if she just learned to be less controlling or selfish, but with the way things are going it seems she's going to be past the point of redemption or taking responsibility for her actions, I mean she almost killed her husband and got her son hurt so any redemption she would get would be equivalent to jail time and reflection...
anyways I kind of understand why fl is so tight lipped abt her disease, she seems to really like ml and the way he's treated her till now, and her knowledge of the original works, points towards him abandoning her over it, even if we the readers know that isn't the case, she clearly doesn't.
she probably wants to end things quick and keep her peace rather then put them both through the trouble of managing her illness, especially with all that drama around them, the ml seemed to mature a lot but it's clear they both don't fully trust eachother yet (for good reasons) so it's not really a surprise that this whole disease reveal is being dragged out.
