Actually, this story isn’t canon at all. In this version, it’s his death state — he’s hallucinating. In reality, he’s dying.

Your mother, Lisa, died in difficult childbirth. Even though the physicians had forbidden it and insisted she should give you up, she refused. She chose instead to bring you into the world. William could not dissuade her, and when you were finally born, she lost her life.

From that moment, your father turned away from you completely and chose to hate you. When you were still a child, he brought home a little girl, called her your sister, and named her Vivienne/Vivien.

Later, he brought another child, Arthur, who had once begged on the streets.

Why William Adopts Children From Street?

Many of you might have this question, and I have answer for that. William adopts children from the streets not simply out of compassion, but as a way to cope with the unresolved grief of losing his wife during childbirth.

Unable to process the trauma, he projects his anger and blame onto his biological daughter, seeing her as the cause of his suffering. To escape this painful reminder, he turns to other children, whom he idealizes as symbols of redemption and second chances.

By rescuing them, he convinces himself he is restoring his role as a father and rewriting the family story that was shattered, creating an illusion of control and healing. In truth, these adoptions are less about love for the children themselves and more about his desperate attempt to avoid facing his loss and guilt.
