If she could turn the clock back, she would do it all over again.
'I would still marry him if I had to choose all over again,' said Lisa Kuo Yu-chin (pictured), wife of Henry Tang Ying-yen. She choked.
'We promised at our wedding that we would go through everything together, for better or worse.'
Questions are growing about the credibility of the scandal-plagued contender for Hong Kong chief executive, this time over his handling of rumours that he fathered an illegitimate child.
'He is a sentimental person,' Kuo, 57, said on Commercial Radio yesterday, of the man she has known since she was nine. 'Over the last decades, even though he has strayed before, he has always come back. I know he loves me faithfully.' She gave him a score of 90 per cent as a husband and 99 as a father to their children.
Kuo adopted her husband's stance on the rumours, evading a direct answer to whether he had a child out of wedlock. 'I will not say anything about this again,' she said. 'Henry has already said that what he has done in the past has left him lifelong regrets. I think 'the return of the prodigal son' is most important.'
