My Brother Sterilized My Fiancé

Synopsis

When I was fourteen, I jumped into an icy lake to save Henry Goodman. The combination of my period, an infection, and the cold left my uterus badly damaged. After that, I couldn't have children anymore. Henry felt incredibly guilty and swore he would only marry me, promising to stay childfree with me for the rest of our lives. When I turned twenty-three, everything changed. The night before my wedding, thanks to an old doctor, I could finally be a mom again. I was just about to share the big news with Henry when I accidentally caught him chatting with his buddies. "So, Henry, you really gonna stick with Emily forever and never have kids?" one of his friends asked. To my surprise, Henry let out a cold laugh. "She's useless. She should've just died in that lake. As for my kid, Wendy's already pregnant. You guys are welcome to the baby's party after Wendy gives birth." I didn't expose him. Without making a fuss, I just called off the wedding. That same day, when my brother, Edward Sinclair, found out I was cured, he looked totally freaked out. "I'm sorry, Emily. I had no idea you still had a chance to get pregnant," he said, his voice trembling. "I was afraid Henry would get back on his word. So when he turned eighteen, I secretly set up an accident. He never even knew," he confessed. "I... I had him sterilized." I couldn't even find the words. My mind just went blank.
