Seven Years of Marriage with Jake

Chapter 4

Chapter4

When I opened my eyes again, I was lying in a hospital bed.

The nurse regretfully informed me that the baby didn't survive.

My hands rested on my belly, and now only the loose skin remained as proof that the child had ever existed.

Lost in thought, I looked at the ceiling, reached for my phone from the pillow.

Just as I was about to send Jake a divorce message, his call came in first.

I pressed the answer button, and before I could speak, he started yelling:

"What's going on with the rumors online? Did you spread them?

Are you crazy? Do you know how much this affects the hospital?

Delete them immediately! I can't stand you for a single day, don't you know it's illegal to spread rumors? Can you act like a normal person!"

"Delete them! Otherwise, I'll divorce you immediately!"

Before I could understand, he hung up the phone.

Hatred overwhelmed my reason.

My nails dug deep into my palms, my knuckles white with force.

But this time, Emily was live and fine, and he hadn't done anything excessive. I had no reason to call the police and arrest him.
