He Chose Their Child Over My Life

Synopsis

I was pregnant with a set of boy-girl twins. On the day I unexpectedly went into premature labor, the hospital gave us a life-or-death notice. We could only save one of the babies. As I was suffering, my husband, Richard Westbrook, suddenly spoke up. "Actually, you're not the only one in pain. Emily is hurting, too, because one of the babies inside you is actually hers." It was like an explosion went off in my head. My ears were ringing. Richard rubbed his eyes, looking exhausted, his voice resigned, with a hint of indulgence. "Emily was determined to have a sibling who shared your blood, so I had no choice but to have the embryo implanted in you. "She was worried I'd cheat on you while you were pregnant, so she stepped in and did the wifely duties for you. Honestly, it's a lot tighter if you haven't been pregnant." I froze, my whole body trembling uncontrollably. My phone kept buzzing on the bedside table. My best friend, Emily Snow, was blowing up my phone, trying to cheer me on. Richard continued, "When your water broke unexpectedly, she was all over me, and I couldn't get away. But she really did her duty. She had all sorts of tricks, and she was really wet." As Richard spoke, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and he gave me a guilty glance. "But this is Emily's first child. I can't bear to disappoint her. We'll keep the boy."
