I went into labor early with my daughter and lost a lot of blood. Two months later, David Turner finally came back from overseas. He looked worn out, and he held our daughter as if she were the most precious thing in the world. "David's going to be a complete pushover for this girl," his sister joked. At the same time, a news notification popped up on my phone. [David Turner flew abroad for medical treatment, and sources say his son from another relationship is seriously ill.] His sister looked embarrassed and quickly explained. "Emily, it has to be a misunderstanding. David was only there for work," she said. I smiled, and none of it touched me. "It's fine. It doesn't matter." It was nothing new. Six months earlier, David had been sending his ex-girlfriend and her son 300 thousand dollars a month without fail. By the time he finally came home, I was done waiting. Outside the door, David was holding Dawn, and he looked over at me. His face froze, and he pursed his lips tightly.
