My Wife's Shocking SecretChapter 1 Meeting in the Storm
Alex's first love took a knife wound for him, and he left me, his pregnant wife, to stay by her side day and night.
At first, I didn't mind. He told me he was just grateful.
But later, after Emily caused me to miscarry, I wanted an explanation. He just said, "Let it go. Is it really necessary to blame Emily like that?"
Alex said he had to work late, and I worried about his stomach bothering him. So, I made blue berry pancake and brought it to the hospital for him.
I found him laughing with Emily at the door of a hospital room. They were so caught up in their conversation.
I leaned against the doorframe, quietly watching his back. A little boy sat on his lap; the scene was painfully harmonious.
When Emily saw me, a flash of caution appeared in her eyes. She pretended not to know me and continued talking to Alex.
I looked down at the pancake in my hands, wondering if I should interrupt this warm scene.
Suddenly, Alex called out, "Grace, why are you here?"
He quickly stood and took the pancake from my hands. "You shouldn't be moving around so much, especially not in your first trimester."
