Those who betray true love deserve to swallow a thousand needles!

I didn’t know how much time had passed when I heard Leon’s voice echoing down the hospital corridor.
This hospital was under his name. My health had always been fragile, so he had spared no expense in investing in it, hiring top specialists to care for me.
He used to say I was his precious, pampered rose, and he would do anything to ensure my well-being.
For years, I believed I was the happiest woman in the world.
In the hallway, he was furious, berating the hospital staff for their incompetence in failing to save the baby.
Hearing him mention the baby tightened the ache in my chest, and fresh tears rolled down my cheeks.
Eight months... Just a little longer, and the baby could have seen the world.
"Sharina! My wife!"
Leon burst into the room, disheveled and frantic. He looked utterly lost, but when he saw me, it was as though he had found a priceless treasure he nearly lost. He pulled me tightly into his arms.
"Thank God you’re okay. I was so scared... I thought I’d lose you."
"Did I wake you with my shouting earlier?"
I shook my head.
