A Heart Reduced to Ashes
I lose a kidney after an accident, but my one-year-old son dies on the spot. The months after the accident are when I'm most depressed, but my CEO husband is by my side day and night as he cares for me.
However, in the fifth year of our marriage, I overhear Yoel Lawson's conversation with a doctor.
"It's bad enough that you deliberately orchestrated that accident to have Felicity's kidney transplanted in Rosa's body, but you even accidentally caused your child's death. Aren't you afraid Felicity will lose her mind when she finds out?"
"We've lost our son, but we can always have another child. Rosie would've died without that kidney. I gave up my happiness to make it up to Felicity, didn't I? I'll make her conceive again this year—she'll be happier than anything else."
Yoel's indifferent voice makes my head spin. I feel like I've been struck by lightning.
It turns out he didn't spend all day at the hospital after my accident because of me—he was there to care for Rosa Shaw, his true love.
I don't want to have another child with him. I don't even want him anymore.
