The Surgeon's Surprise Patient

Synopsis

I kept the secret from my husband and went to the hospital alone. Registration, checkups—I handled the whole process by myself. On the operating table, the doctor asked, "Why don't you want this baby?" With my eyes rimmed in red, I said, "My husband doesn't care about me. I don't want another tether in this marriage." The doctor fell silent for a moment, then slowly pulled down his mask. That face... I had known it for four long years. It was my husband. He stared at me in a daze, his lips trembling, but no words came out.
