At the hospital, where the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant, Amber Stone was in high spirits. She left the doctor’s office with a laboratory test report in her hands. Just when she was planning to make a phone call, her phone rang first. She picked it up and heard her uncle’s voice on the other side of the line. “Amber, is everything alright between you and Rodney Barron?” he asked.

“Yeah, we’re good, I guess? Why do you ask?” Amber asked in return.

“Well, because I’ve just heard that Rodney brought a pregnant woman to an antenatal checkup on the day before yesterday,” he answered frankly.

Amber burst out laughing and said, “Are you thinking that Rodney has a mistress out there?”

“Yes!” he responded.

“Don’t worry, even if all men in the world cheated, Rodney wouldn’t!” She was completely positive about it.

Amber ended the conversation with her uncle and proceeded to call Rodney. The phone rang for some time before it was picked up. “I’m extremely busy, so don’t bother me if there’s nothing. That’s it!” His voice sounded cold and emotionless. Before Amber could speak, he hung up the phone. Her heart froze while her hand gripped the lab test report. Her enthusiasm had wholly dissipated.

Amber and Rodney had since been married for three years. He had always been gentle with her, but there had been a drastic change in his attitude lately. Not only was he cold, he also became very impatient while answering her calls. What exactly changed Rodney so much?

She turned around while still absorbed in her thoughts. Then, a figure swayed before her and a soft voice sounded in her ear. “Hey, sister.” Amber turned her gaze in the direction of the voice and saw Celia Black, who had appeared next to her with a middle-aged woman.

Upon seeing Celia, the daughter of her father’s mistress, Amber frowned. “Don’t simply address me as your sister. I’m the only child my mother has ever given birth to!” Amber responded coldly with a look of disgust.

Unaffected by her demeanour, Celia smiled and gently asked, “Are you here to treat your infertility again, dear sister?”

“That’s none of your business,” retorted Amber.
