I was also going somewhere. After making an appointment, I took a cab to the hospital. I knew that my baby was no longer inside me. I wanted to rush to the hospital last night, but I couldn't muster the strength. Since Alexander didn't want the baby, it was better for it not to be born than to face such a cruel reality.
The doctor sadly announced that I had miscarried.
With a heavy heart, I completed the necessary tests to ensure my body was okay, and then I went to settle the bills. As I was finishing, I bumped into two familiar figures: my husband and his ex.
Alexander quickly gave me an accusing look, almost scolding. "Veronica? What are you doing here?"
I didn't answer. Instead, I shifted my eyes to his ex. She avoided my gaze and tried to reason with my husband.
"Alex, don't speak to her like that. Why can't she be here? Maybe she also wanted to see the baby." Colleen looked at me innocently as she caressed her still flat belly. "Veronica must be here just to check on us, right?"
Her words really bothered me. I could only pretend to laugh and respond, "Yeah, you're right. How could I not be here?"
