After His Childhood Sweetheart Made Me Lose Our Baby

Synopsis

I lay in the hospital bed, the sharp, tearing pain still lingering in my lower abdomen. I had lost my child. "It was Kaylee who pushed me." My voice was so hoarse it sounded foreign to my own ears. Kaylee stood behind Derek, tears instantly welling in her eyes as if she had been grievously wronged. Derek's gaze as he looked at her was full of tenderness, but when he turned to me, all that remained was impatience and weariness. "How many times has it been?" he said. "When will you stop trying to smear her? I know her better than anyone." Once again, he was taking her side. His unconditional favoritism toward Kaylee was countless. He let out a sigh, his tone restrained, perhaps because I had just lost the baby. "Stop being unreasonable, okay? If you keep this up, we really have no choice but to divorce." I turned my head away, tears silently tracing down into my hairline, cold and damp. Summoning the last of my strength, I heard myself say, "Then let's get divorced."
