Nancy sat up from the bed and pretended to be puzzled. "Luke, you paid the surgery for me? And Madison doesn't know yet? You shouldn't do that."
"The company has been in a big deficit lately, and it's not enough to pay for your surgery. Your palpitations couldn't be diagnosed, and even if the commercial insurance covers it, it's not enough. These thirty thousand dollars is just a small fraction of the total. I'm out of options."
"But you just lost your baby. You should take care of Madison. What if you completely break her heart?" She said.
He lip-synced to me as he said, "Isn't that exactly what I want?"
It turned out that Nancy's target was never Luke from the very beginning, but me.
I had been worrying about him for the past three years in order to get pregnant successfully.
He was a typical career-oriented man, especially when it came to working for Nancy. There had been several times he fainted at work and I had to pick him up.
My delicate body endured numerous injuries from carrying him. In order to improve his health, I tried various methods to take care of him, which resulted in my developing underlying health issues.
