You Chose Her, So I Called Off Our Wedding

Synopsis

"Ten minutes before the wedding, my fiancé sent me a message. [Lucy is bleeding. I'll take her to the hospital first. Let's postpone the ceremony.] The makeup artist was still touching up my lipstick. The bridesmaid behind me was helping me adjust my veil. Outside the lounge, the emcee was reminding us of the schedule, and the host's voice kept drifting in, the whole place buzzing with excitement like a pot about to boil over. I looked down at my phone and suddenly laughed. Grace was the first to sense something was off. She snatched my phone, glanced at the screen, and her face went white as a sheet. ""Is Charles out of his mind?"" Grace hissed, barely keeping her anger in check. ""It's your wedding day, and he's out with Lucy for a prenatal exam?"" The lounge went dead silent. The makeup artist stood frozen, and the bridesmaid just stopped, not moving at all. Everyone turned to look at me. But I was strangely calm. I was so calm I nearly laughed."
