Chapter 33

Our eyes met, and Leo froze for a moment.

I let out a small, bitter laugh. “What a coincidence.”

Everyone has a limit to their tolerance for pain, and once you reach it, the pain seems to vanish. Faced with the absurdity of this moment, I realized I could feel nothing but calm.

A flash of discomfort crossed Melody’s face, quickly masked as she gave a gentle smile. “Sorry, Laura. I was only joking just now. You don’t mind, do you?”

I looked directly at Leo, my voice quiet. “I don’t think it was a joke. After all, he didn’t even come with me to my prenatal checkup because he was here with you.”

Only then did Leo seem to remember that today was my checkup. His chest tightened with guilt as he rushed to explain, “I’m sorry, I didn’t check my phone…”

As he stepped closer, I instinctively took a step back. “It’s fine,” I said, and even smiled again. “You two can carry on.”

With that, I turned and walked away, my pace quickening with each step.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed my arm, forcing me to stop and look back.

Leo’s gaze softened as he took in the redness around my eyes. His voice was gentler than before. “I’m sorry. I was just too busy to check the time, and Melody had a fever. She’s alone here with no one to rely on, so I couldn’t leave her…”

In that moment, Leo’s apology cut deeper than any of his cold words ever had. Melody was his friend, but wasn’t I his wife? Wasn’t I carrying his child?

The December chill seeped through me, draining the last bit of warmth from my body. My voice came out low and hoarse. “No need to apologize. Go keep her company.”

Leo was taken aback.
