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.
