Desperate,I signed my own name.On the operating table I felt the child slip away bit by bit and finally lost hope.
Three days later I was discharged;Xavier knew nothing of my condition.To tell him,I unlocked my phone and saw my mother-in-law’s post.
The post contained a photo of Xavier with his childhood sweetheart Vanessa.Xavier gently held Vanessa,gazing at her tenderly.
The caption read:“They would have been perfect together.If my son hadn’t been taken by a filthy orphan with no status,she would have been my daughter-in-law.”
Reading those cruel taunts,my eyes stung.
In that moment I finally woke up to reality and saw clearly.
“Some things,once rotten—like a marriage—must be cast away.Now that I’ve recovered,it’s time to leave.”

On our third wedding anniversary,I bought a lot of gifts for my husband and was rushing home to prepare a candlelight dinner.However,not long after my car started on the highway,the central control system of my car failed and I collided with a large truck.
He did not pick up even after calling twenty-three times but messaged me instead.
