Eight Lives Lost My Husband Died for HerChapter 1
I was scrolling through my phone during my maternity recovery when I stumbled across a local help-wanted post:
"My mistress is almost due, and she wants to have the baby abroad. My mom adores her and wants to go along to take care of her, but my wife is still in postpartum recovery right now. How do I get my wife to agree to let me and my mom go overseas for a while?"
The comments were tearing the guy apart, but the poster had liked one reply in particular:
"Easy. Just tell your wife your mom has a serious illness and needs to go abroad for treatment."
I was still shaking my head, feeling sorry for whatever poor woman was stuck with a husband and mother-in-law like that, when my own husband walked in holding a medical report.
"Honey, my mom just found out she has a heart condition. She needs surgery overseas as soon as possible. I'll probably have to stay with her abroad while she's being treated."
……
I stared at the report in Brad Delgado's hand, and my heart gave a sharp, involuntary lurch. The post I'd just read flashed through my mind before I could stop it.
It had to be a coincidence.
