I couldn't help but clench my hands tightly. The pain as my nails dug into my flesh made me come to my senses a bit.
He traded my kidney for the chance to be the 'father' of a dog, and he seemed more than willing.
But did he ever stop to ask if I was okay with it?
I really wanted to rush over and ask David Smith what on earth he took me for.
However, before I could take more than a couple of steps, David Smith already protected Jane and the dog in her arms and got into the car.
I stood there rooted to the spot.
The spring breeze was warm, yet it only made my heart feel icy cold. What kind of person had I been sharing a bed with all these years?
I dragged my broken body back home.
On the table, the spare phone that David Smith had left behind was dinging.
When I opened it, there were all messages from Jim.
[David Smith, have you lost your mind? Two years ago, because Jane was feeling down after having a miscarriage, you wanted to help her get over it. So you put abortifacient in Ella White's soup. You made Ella White lose her child, and she had massive bleeding, which damaged her uterus. She can never have children for the rest of her life.]
[Now you've even given her kidney to Jane's dog. Are you even human?]
[You're treating her like this. One day, you'll surely regret it!]
My hand holding the phone couldn't stop trembling, and the words in front of my eyes made the blood in my body turn cold.
I didn't know if David Smith would regret it, but I was certain that I did. The man I had loved for so many years turned out to be a devil.
Two years ago, I unexpectedly lost my five - month - old baby. It was a fully formed male fetus.
I had blamed myself countless times for not protecting the baby in my belly well enough.
It turned out that it was David Smith who had personally caused the death of that child.
Jane had lost her child, so she wanted me to suffer the same pain as her.
The really messed - up thing was, he even kept from me the fact that I'd never be able to have kids again.
When I thought about all those pills I'd swallowed down, all in the hope of getting knocked up, I felt like the world's biggest idiot.
In David Smith's eyes, the way I was practically going crazy trying to have a baby for him must've been a real hoot, right?
He'd managed to keep this huge secret from me for a solid two years. He had me getting my hopes up over and over again, only to let me down every single time.
It was pitch - black outside when David Smith finally tracked me down. The second he laid eyes on me, he let out a huge sigh of relief.
When he saw how pale I was, like all the color had drained right out of my face, he rushed over and yanked me into his arms.
