He Took My Baby's Life for Her Smile

Synopsis

Seven months pregnant, on my way to a prenatal checkup, a video of my husband, James Nolan, and my sister, Emily Lane, in a compromising position suddenly appeared in my family's group chat. I stared at the screenshot on my phone, thought about the seven-month-old baby in my belly, and with trembling hands, I gave James two choices. Divorce, and I would step aside for him and Emily. Or, return to the family, and from then on, only the two of us, him, me, and our child. James didn't hesitate. He chose the latter. He swore in front of my parents' portraits that he would never make another mistake. And afterward, he did come home. He had meals with me, went to checkups with me, and at night, he'd massage my swollen legs. Until the day I went into labor. On my way to pick him up, I was dragged into a van. I couldn't get through to him no matter how many times I called. In the end, I was brought to the hospital with my clothes torn and my baby gone. When I woke up, I heard James talking to a friend through the hospital door. "James, that was your own child in Claire's belly. She was about to give birth. How could you actually go through with it, hiring people to scare her like that?" James's voice was ice cold. "She's the one who leaked that video of Emily and me to the family group. Emily cried for three days. She humiliated Emily in front of everyone. She had to pay for that. "She only lost a child. Emily was laughed at by so many people that day. This is nothing compared to what she deserves."
