The Lies He Told Me 159

Part 7

My husband, Antonio Kaufman, wanted me to participate in Eloise's clinical trial for a drug she had been working on. She was his first love.

After refusing several times, he secretly swapped my medication with the experimental drug used in the trial..

At first, I didn't notice any changes, nothing was out of place, but then I started to feel the effects.

It turned out the side effects were so severe that I suffered a brain

hemorrhage. His first love, Eloise Pitts, couldn't handle it.

So the hospital demanded that Eloise stop her research, and Antonio wast asked to perform a surgery on me, but he decidedly refused.

He quickly denied it all, "The brain hemorrhage is due to the patient's personal condition. Eloise's experimental drug is irrelevant to this. I'm the patient's husband and went to the same medical school as Eloise.

I remember how Eloise pretended to be my friend when my husband introduced her to me, making me believe she had no interest in him.

Over the years, I turned a blind eye to every affectionate gesture they had for each other, and I thought it was only because of their long friendship.

Lately, I thought he was being distant with me because I did something wrong, or because he was so busy with work, but the truth was he was with her all the time.

"You're not going to operate on me?" I asked, my face half-

paralyzed, reaching out my hand at him.

Antonio slapped my hand away. "I'll leave it to Eloise. It will provide the final data for her thesis."
