I think it was meant to be hope to a already traumatizing situation for him, he thought his live was cheating on him playing him for a fool and seeing someone else and then just suddenly died not even able to get any sort of closure. He couldn’t love anyone else. He wanted to make a family with her and a dream he’d never see fulfilled remember it was stated he’s a big romantic/sentimental person. I doubt he’d want to hear the ways his love was tortured but knowing there is a possibility to see something that was proof of their love for each other and a piece of her still a love aka their child it gives him hope that he was wrong and that what he dreamed of was something real. And he wants to cherish that bond that’s available to him. So I don’t see it as glossed over per se but how much more traumatized do we have to make this man ? And even so our FL isn’t so cruel to describe what happened in detail to a guy who clearly cares a lot about his late lover.
Yall think we glossed over the human experimentation part too quickly? Yall she was basically kidnapped and tortured and we dont even know if she was raped and then she died thinking her love would come and save her and their child, but all this time he believed she cheated on him and ran away with her lover so he didnt bother finding her and hated her the entire time??? Yo that's HEAVY. Imagine the anguish of a mother trying to stay alive to protect her unborn child?? And who kidnaps a noble and doesnt even ask for ransom? That shit was personal.
