My father sacrificed himself to save her.
I became an orphan.
Yet she took my husband away from me.
My husband said he just wanted a child to carry on the family line.
"Darling, I love you. Let's start over, okay?"

Today is my day for a prenatal check-up.
But the results showed Kidney Cancer.
I stood by the hospital window, looking at the heavy snow outside, thinking about a future without me.
How would Azhong cry?
I shook my head and prepared to call him.
Two women, one old and one young, entered my line of sight.
They were followed by Zhen Zhuo.
It was my mother-in-law.
She was walking arm in arm with a young girl, chatting affectionately as they made their way from the parking lot to the outpatient building.
Zhen Zhuo followed closely behind.
The girl slipped and almost fell, and the grandmother hurriedly shouted, “Azhong, come help Lingling.”
Zhen Zhuo quickly stepped forward and kindly wrapped his arm around the girl's waist.
The girl smiled sweetly at him.
In the midst of the flying snow, the scene of the two embracing was harmonious and beautiful.
I carefully discerned.
I recognized that the girl was Azhong's secretary, Wen Ling.
Azhong had always taken care of her.
But I never expected that they had become this familiar with each other.

I called his phone.
Azhong didn’t answer.
I saw him take out his phone to glance at it, then pretend he hadn’t seen it. After sending them into the outpatient hall, he returned to the parking lot alone.
My phone rang again.
“Wife, I was in a meeting just now,” he said in a tender tone.
"I'm at the hospital and need to talk to you. Where are you?"
I decided to meet him in person.
"I see. I have meetings all morning, but how about I take some time to have lunch with you?"
He has been so busy lately.
So busy that by the time he gets home every night, I am already asleep.
On weekends, I want him to accompany me for a walk in the park, but he always sleeps until noon.
At first, I felt he was working hard.
He is the CEO of a well-known company, with many responsibilities that inevitably cause him stress.
So I tried to be understanding and not disturb him.
But recently, more and more inconsistencies have made me start to doubt.
What exactly is he busy with?
Why does his busyness always make me feel neglected?
I love him.
So I long to have all of him.
In my love, there is no room for even a grain of sand.
Why can't there be a simple love?
No deceit, no harm.
Just two people in love, supporting each other, growing old together.
After hanging up the phone, my stomach churned.
I hurried to the bathroom, but I couldn't throw up anything.
Just now.
My mother-in-law and Wen Ling were in the hallway.
"Auntie, don't worry, I'm fine. This little issue won't hold me back."
That was Wen Ling's voice.
My mother-in-law's voice was still loud and boisterous: "That won't do. You have to be careful when you're pregnant; the first three months are the most important."
Wen Ling laughed: "It's only been 5 weeks. I don't even feel it myself; if it weren't for throwing up this morning..."
"Still, you need to be cautious. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're young..."
"I know, I know, you're almost like my mom now."
"Aren't I just your mom? From now on, you and Azhong should live happily together and give me a big fat grandson. It would be great for our little family of three."
Wen Ling smiled playfully, "That's a must. But you can't complain about me being annoying then."
"If you call me 'Mom,' I'll spoil you to no end."
I squatted by the toilet and gagged.
Having just learned about my pregnancy, I had planned to share the joy with Azhong.
Seeing him busy, I decided to hold back my excitement and surprise him instead.
I didn't expect it.
He had already let Wen Ling get pregnant before me.
How disgusting.
I started to vomit again.
