Until two months ago, he went out for dinner and got drunk. When he came back, he hugged me so tightly. I thought I finally managed to warm his heart.
But when I woke up, there was no one by my side.
And it was that night that I got pregnant. The delay in my menstrual period made me somewhat joyful.
However, the congenital heart disease made me terrified of whether I could keep my baby. I didn't resist children. On the contrary, I liked them very much.
I instinctively called Dale, afraid that my physical defect would bring hidden dangers to the baby.
My fear made me panicked. I hoped Dale could accompany me, at least give me some comfort.
I called him over and over again, but no one answered.
Until I suddenly saw a photo on Grace's Instagram.
It was a photo of Dale taking her to the jewelry store to buy a ring.
I looked at my bare fingers and remembered when Dale and I got married, he only invited our parents to have a meal together. After we hastily got the marriage certificate, he never mentioned having a wedding ceremony.
He had never even bought me an engagement ring.
