I waited for three days before William came back.And I was well prepared during those three days."Is it good to live in a car?"William opened the door, and I asked him with a smile.He glared at me and changed his slippers to wash his hands.I knowingly asked, of course, but that was exactly what I wanted.Was this perhaps a form of revenge?By the time William walked out, I was sitting on the couch waiting for him."I see you."He raised his eyebrows again out of habit. "What do you mean?""That day, at the hospital, I saw you and Abril."I was straight to the point. "You're accompanying her to do a maternity checkup, aren't you?"From these abnormal behaviors of mine lately, William had already guessed that I should know something.But he was still a little surprised to hear the name Abril coming out of my mouth.After saying that, I waited for William to explain.I fantasized that he would coax me like he used to, that he would blink his wet eyes and beg me to forg
When I got home, I started to regret it. Why did I go straight home when I could have seen a doctor at the hospital?Feeling the swelling pain in my chest, I was sad in my heart.Now things between me and William had become worse. And now I was pregnant?I found the pregnancy test and walked into the bathroom.When I looked at the positive result on the test paper, I didn't even know if I was sad or happy.Should I tell William?I sat in silence for a long time and eventually sent the photo to Helen.Usually, it would take a long time for Helen to answer my messages, but today she responded in seconds.Helen: [Sure?]I: [Not yet. The result of the pregnancy test is positive. But I still need to see a doctor.]Twenty minutes later, Tyshawn and Helen arrived at my house carrying fruits.Holding the pregnancy test, Helen looked at it under the lamp."Audrey, my attitude was not good the other day. Can you forgive me?"Helen took my hand, sincere and warm, a far cry from her a
People knew the doctor's meaning. I must be seriously ill.I kept asking. The doctor finally told me everything.I had a rare disease, called hyperprolactinemia.When one got this disease, one's period stopped, and breasts had swelling pain with headaches and drowsiness.The symptoms were similar to pregnancy.Combined with the stress coming from William's family, I had a false pregnancy reaction. This was why I got a positive result on the pregnancy test.I couldn't stop the tears when I thought of William smiling and picking out clothes for the baby the other day.The doctor told me, "I suspect hyperprolactinemia. A series of tests should be done later."More importantly, you should find out the reason why you got hyperprolactinemia. You'd better have a comprehensive checkup."She then added, "Go get an MRI, just to make sure."I looked at the list, dumbfounded. I needed an MRI of my brain.What was wrong with my head?Anyway, I must check it out.Even if I died, I had t
Before, I thought my in-laws treated me fine. And I just desperately wanted a child.It wasn't until today that I came to my senses.They never treated me as a member of their family.Of course, if my child was born, he was also their family.As for me, I was an outsider from the beginning.My head was starting to ache again, and I rubbed my temples.Maybe it was because of the tumor.Where could I go?I thought about going back to my mom's house.I was helpless. Going back to my mother's house would be worse than going back to my house.Since Frederick, my brother, was born, I became a nobody.On the day I was married off, Lindsay, my mom, said, "From now on, you're Mrs. Cooper. Audrey Fisher no longer exists."They treated me like a stranger. On the first Christmas after the wedding, I returned to the Fisher's house. I found my room had been changed into Frederick's gaming room."We live in the same city anyway, so you have to go back to your own house."Lindsay advised
The next evening, as promised, I arrived at the cafe Abril had referred to.Abril came later than me. She walked slowly.Although her belly was still not prominent, she was showing her pregnancy by holding her waist with her hand."Audrey, I know you're kind. Please let me have William, okay?"I suppressed my anger. "He's a man, not an object. How can I give him to you?"Seeing that I was not going to make a concession, Abril rubbed her belly repeatedly."Audrey, you know that I'm having William's baby."I checked, and it's a baby boy. I haven't had a chance to tell his dad yet."Audrey, William and I love each other. Could you help us be together?"I sneered. Was she talking about true love?And who was I?A joke?"Abril, give up."What about your parents? What will they think if they know you are a mistress and pregnant with an illegitimate child?"Hearing my words, Abril put away her pitiful expression.She took a sip of the orange juice on the table, one hand protect
Seven days later, I went back to the home I had with William.The house had been redecorated, with more pink towels in the bathroom, baby clothes drying on the balcony, and clothes specially for pregnant women thrown casually on the couch...Everything was showing to me that the hostess of the house had changed.I was packing up my things when William and Abril walked in.The three of us looked at each other, somewhat awkwardly.William broke the silence first. "Audrey, why do you come back without telling me?"I looked at him. "It's still my house. I can come back whenever I want."Then I looked over at Abril. "How does it feel to occupy my house? Not bad, right?""Audrey, you can be angry at me. Don't aim at Abril. She is pregnant."I calmly pointed to my belly."I was pregnant with your babies once too. But my babies were killed by you, their dear father."Abril said, "William told me about it. See? He doesn't love you that much."I smiled. Abril was the old me.I was c
A month later, William and I got divorced.Walking out of the court, I felt joyous.Even the air smelled sweet at that moment.I should have let everything go the moment I saw William and Abril at the hospital.William walked in front of me from behind and proudly looked at me."Audrey, I hope you'll be happy in the future."I laughed. "William, do you mean it?"William put away his smile and walked towards Abril. She was waiting for him not far away. But I stopped him."Anything else?"I stood on the steps looking down at him, indifferently."William, have you forgotten that you've gotten a vasectomy?"My words caused William to be off guard."Of... course, I didn't forget."William stuttered."Why are you talking about this all of a sudden? Didn't I have my recanalization surgery a long time ago?"I nodded. "That's right. It's me who took the test reports for the last couple of times."Every time I've asked you to read it, you just ignored me."I sighed. "It doesn't matter if you rea
"William?"I was shocked to see William accompanying another woman at the entrance to the obstetrics department.William and I had been married for seven years and had never had any children.My best friend checked this hospital for me and found out that this hospital's obstetrics department was very good. I was going to see a doctor today because I decided to have a baby.I came to the door of the obstetrics department. I saw a scene I would never forget.William was holding the woman with a slightly bulging belly, smiling.She was in her early pregnancy, looking a little chubby.But William carefully held her.He put his hand on the woman's belly as if feeling the little unborn life."Honey, take these sheets. You're going to need them for the next checkup."William's face was filled with the joy of being a new father. "Hey, slow down..."The woman looked to be in her early twenties, not as good-looking as me, but the age difference still made her look younger and more liv
