My Husband's Lover Is the One Who Bullied Me1

During my pregnancy, I was burning with a fever, my temperature spiking to 102.2°F. Yet my husband, Bernard Larson, told me he was going on a business trip.

I begged him to buy me some medicine, but he coldly hung up the phone.

"If you're sick, go see a doctor. I'm busy. If I don't make money, how are you and the baby going to live?"

In the dead of night, I opened Twitter and saw a post from someone who had once bullied me.

The post read: [Someone who cares about you will rush to see you, even across an entire city.]

The image attached was of a hand holding a paper bag of medicine.

And that hand was wearing the watch I had given Bernard as an anniversary gift.

I stared at the phone, now disconnected, and felt my heart sink.

I tried calling Bernard again, but his phone was turned off.

Struggling to get up, I found the thermometer in the drawer. After checking my temperature, I realized it had climbed to 103.2°F.

I forced myself to stay upright and rummaged through the medicine cabinet. But after reading the labels, I found that none of the medications were safe for a pregnant woman.
