I prepared everything and pretended as if nothing had happened.
However, I couldn’t stop shivering when I lay on the operation table.
Antonio noticed that something was off with me, but there wasn’t a trace of regret in his eyes.
The effect of anesthesia kicked off, and I lost consciousness.
I woke up and was a little groggy and I heard the doctor speaking to Antonio.
“The surgery was a success. I’ve removed her womb and she can never be pregnant again.”
This book had been added on your bookshelf.
Antonio let out a sigh of relief, but I couldn’t hold back my tears, and they streamed down my face.
After the doctor left, I pretended that I had just woken up.
Antonio looked at me with red–rimmed eyes. He said in pain, “Honey, the doctor just told me that your condition was bad. During the surgery, there was a hemorrhage in your womb, so he had no choice but to remove it…”
Antonio covered his face in agony, as if it took all his strength to finish the sentences.
I would have been so touched and hugged him in tears if I heard this one day ago.
However, now, I only felt cold throughout my body. Now I knew that there were people in the world who could feign such deep affection for

someone they didn’t love at all.
“But it’s OK. As long as we still have each other, everything is gonna be
OK
“If we can’t have children, we can always adopt one. Don’t worry. I’ll
never leave you.”
Antonio dragged me into his arms, and at the same time, my tears
streamed down.
I didn’t know why I cried. Did I cry for myself or my late son?
After Antonio brought up this idea, he kept staring at me and was worried that I wouldn’t agree.
“OK. Let’s do it tomorrow. I’ll go with you.”
Antonio’s face lit up with joy since I agreed with him.
But, it changed color when I said I wanted to go with him together.
I knew he was worried that I would find out that he was actually the baby’s real father.
?On the pretext that I had just had surgery and should rest, he wanted me to stay. But I refused.
?I said that since I had just lost my son, I wanted to meet the kids at the charity house and that it would make me feel better.
Since I said so, he found it hard to refuse.
After he settled me down, he received a call from his assistant and said he had work to do.
I knew he was going to see Noemi. I smiled and watched him leave.

I followed him secretly.
Antonio twisted and turned through the corridors and finally entered a ward upstairs. Once he entered the room, a woman hugged him. I
recognized her. It was Noemi.
?She threw herself shyly into Antonio’s arms, and he clasped her back and gently tapped the tip of her nose.
“You said you were not feeling well. Why don’t you stay in bed and rest?”
“I’m fine. I just need to see you.”
Antonio didn’t dwell on her lie and gently carried her to the bed.
“Is that Mrs. Kaufman in the room? Mr. Kaufman is so sweet to her,” said a nurse in the corridor.
“It’s so true. Mrs. Kaufman fell from the stairs and twisted her ankle. It was no big deal, but Mr. Kaufman summoned all the experts in the hospital to examine her,” another one added.
“Wow, that’s so considerate of him! She’s such a lucky woman,” they exclaimed.
I listened to the nurses‘ conversation and felt bitter inside.
I said to myself inwardly, “It’s not lucky to be his wife.”
