All Chapters of When Love Costs a Womb: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Jack did not think I would do that and looked upset."Emma, don't be silly, the surgery has been planned out! There are lots of other patients waiting, and we can't make them wait just for you. Everyone's life is just as important, and you're not better than anyone else just because your dad runs the hospital."He even used that moment to say something mean about my dad!I was about to say something back, but Mabel spoke up first."Dr. Gray is your doctor and your husband. He's doing everything for you. You can't act like this. And you can't use the fact that your dad is the hospital director to get special treatment and keep the operating room busy when you're not having surgery. Do you know how many people are waiting for help?"The accusations she piled on me just kept getting bigger and bigger.Everyone else started blaming me too."Yeah, there are so many people waiting for help. Now that everything has been set up for you, you just bail? That's really selfish!""So what i

It hit me then. "You caused that scene at the hospital? Just to keep Samuel from operating on me? You'd do anything!""And what do you think will happen if you keep making me mad? Do you think you'll end up like him?"I froze, not wanting to make him angrier. I had to stay calm to find a way to save myself.Jack patted my face, smiling sweetly. However, his gaze was frigid. "You just had an abortion. You need to rest up and get strong for your surgery."He took my phone and left, locking the door behind him. Outside, he played the doting husband."My wife just had a miscarriage. She's been upset, saying crazy things and even getting violent. I'm worried about her safety, so I've locked her in her ward. Please don't let her out."The other patients outside showered him with praise and looked down on me."Don't worry, Dr. Gray. We won't let her out. She's been so selfish. You've been nothing but kind to her, and she just causes trouble.""Everyone knows how much you love your wif

I never thought Jack would cause trouble at the hospital not just to make Samuel look bad so that he could not do my surgery or become the head doctor but also because he wanted to make it look like Samuel's diagnosis was wrong. That way, Jack could take out my stomach and it would seem okay.His planning was so scary. If I had not gotten a second chance at life, I would never have been able to beat him!"Dr. Gray, let's get this started," Mabel said, unable to hide her impatience. She even teased him loud enough for me to hear, "I've got on new fancy lingerie. I'm ready for some fun right here after we're done."She laughed in a way that made my skin crawl.I could not believe they were talking about doing such yucky stuff in the operating room.Did they not care about germs at all?Jack seemed to like her teasing and smiled as he touched her. He then said it was time to start the surgery.Even with the anesthesia, I could feel the sharpness of the scalpel as it cut into my b

Of course, I would give Jack a chance. I told the guards to secretly give him a way out, rough him up a bit, and then let him go.After a good beating, he finally managed to "escape".Now, he was holding onto my pant leg, crying his eyes out as he apologized, "Emma, I made a huge mistake. I got carried away and didn't resist Mabel's temptation. She's not a good person, always chasing after money. She's not genuine at all. She's nothing compared to you. "I messed up in a way that lots of people do, and I'm begging you to give me a chance to fix things. I promise I'll love you with all my heart, take care of you, and put you first from now on. I won't ever let you down again. "And my family will be nice to you, I promise. They won't make you feel bad anymore."Wow, he actually knew how his family had been treating me.I held back my real feelings and said in a sad voice, "I want to forgive you, I do. I've loved you for so many years. But I can't forget that I had to have surgery,
