Her Place in His Heart by Isabella Reed

Chapter116

“Excuse me, I need to make a call.” I dialed Antonio’s number, but he hung up before I could say a word.

I tried several times, always with the same result. It even checked if my phone was working, and it was, it even had a full battery.

Finally, Eloise answered and said, “Antonio is cooking for me right now. If it’s urgent, call back later.”

Then she hung up. Were they together all this time?

Without hesitation I tried to find some money in my purse, I remembered I had some when I was hospitalized. The money wasn’t there.

I tried using his card, only to find it deactivated.

Desperate, I rummaged through my bag and found the card with 10,000 dollars that my parents had given me when I got married. It was originally meant for our future children, the ones we never had.

Yes, when we married we had planned to have a big family with many children. We had many dreams that now have been shattered.

Having lost all hope in this marriage, I handed the card to the hospital cashier.

A few minutes later, I saw the cashier frown, so I asked anxiously, “Is there a problem with the card?”
