I urgently pulled at him, my voice pleading, "Matthew, it's your mom! The one in the emergency room is your mom! She's waiting for you to save her life!"
He paused for a moment. Then Luna in his arms whined, "Matthew, my foot hurts so much..."
Matthew's eyes were instantly filled with pity.
He kicked me in the stomach. "Get out of the way! Don't delay me taking Luna to treat her leg!"
Then, holding Luna, he walked away.
I fell heavily to the ground. My stomach was in severe pain, as if something very important was leaving.
I held my lower abdomen. Tears streaming down my face.
"My baby..."
...
I had always known that Matthew had an ex-girlfriend of five years. A woman he adored named Luna Stewart.
They had talked about marriage. However, Matthew couldn't come up with the bride price demanded by Luna's family for her brother's wedding, so they were forced to break up.
Two years later, he met me. As we got to know and love each other, Matthew acted perfectly.
His family's financial situation was average, and I didn't ask for a bride price when we got married.
So Mia felt indebted to me and always treated me very well.
