"Sherlyn, we've lost two babies, but if you take good care of yourself, we can still try again," my husband, Kylan Lane, said softly. I looked at Kylan, who once adored me. Right now, he felt like a complete stranger. He kept his voice low, persuasive. "I asked a doctor friend to bring you some vitamins. Take them and get some rest." I forced down the surge of emotions inside and replied calmly, "Just leave them here. I'll take them later." I knew he didn't want me to have his child again. A woman he'd just met had changed his mind. Down the hospital corridor, he slipped two bottles into his coat, vitamins in one hand, hormones in the other. Then he had someone quietly swap their labels. The vitamins went to Rachel Miller, who curled against his chest. Meanwhile, the hormones landed in front of me. The man who once swore he'd burn the world for me had already fallen for someone else. He was ready to scorch me to keep her safe.
