Extended information:

Conan Doyle's emotions are very complicated. He had two wives, the first was Louise Hawkins and the second was Jane Lerch. The two men were both Conan Doyle's wives, but their fates were completely different.

Louis Hawkins first met Conan Doyle in his clinic. At that time, Louis Hawkins's brother was ill, and he happened to be staying in Conan Doyle's clinic to see a doctor. Louis was taking care of his brother, and Conan Doyle was taking care of the patients. This is how the two met. Later, the two got married.

But starting in 1897, Conan Doyle changed. He no longer focused on his career as a doctor and his hobby of novels, but became madly infatuated with 14-year-old Jane Lucky.

In order to please Jane Luckey, Arthur Conan Doyle put aside his wife, work and hobbies, and instead wrote poems and played musical instruments for Jane Luckey.

Eventually in 1906, Louise's condition deteriorated and died, but she left a last message saying that she did not hate Conan Doyle. When Conan Doyle learned of this, he had a brief moment of regret. But less than a year after Louis' death, Jane Luckey became Conan Doyle's wife.
