My Husband Chose His Mistress While Our Baby and I Fought to Survive

Synopsis

My husband chose his mistress while I was bleeding to death. The doctors warned Daniel that I was the patient most likely to die. He looked at me through the emergency-room curtain and said, "Evangeline is a nurse. She'll understand." I did understand. I understood that seven years of marriage meant less to him than one frightened look from Sophie. As they wheeled me into surgery, I learned I was eleven weeks pregnant with the child Daniel and I had spent two years trying for. When he finally returned, he didn't ask whether I was safe. He explained why Sophie had needed him more. So I asked him one question. "If we both needed you again, who would you choose?" Daniel promised it would be me. Before the night was over, he broke that promise. This time, I didn't wait for him to come back.
