Biography[]
After Lily married with highly respected scientist Edward Mazursky, she became pregnant. During the childbirth, Lily asked to see her baby, but was soon bitter to discover that her daughter was suffering from severe breathing problems. The doctor approached the couple to give the test, hearing her say that the baby had irregularities in her lungs, which Lily viewed as torture, and to keep her alive, Edward developed a mechanical device to pump her lungs.
Seeing Edward playing with Nina, Lily went into the kitchen to cry, so Edward went out to see her, and after wiping away her tears, Lily expressed her frustration at seeing Nina as a burden, worrying that Edward would have to continue building her a tank as she grew older, and saw it as a mistake not to have her taken off the machine, remarks sparked a backlash from Edward. Lily expressed her intentions to move in with her mother as she was no longer willing to raise Nina, eventually divorcing him. Nina grew up without a mother figure, being homeschooled by Edward for the next few years.[1]
