Betrayed for a Dying Lover

Tears fell as I silently listened to my husband, Steven Reed.It felt like someone was mercilessly tearing my heart apart, piece by piece.I had never imagined that the man I shared my bed with could be so cruel. He was ruthless enough to take the life of our child with his own hands."Steven, aren't you going too far? There's only a month left for Lily, but you and Julia still have a long life ahead of you."Was it worth it to personally get rid of your own child just to make Lily happy?"I heard one of Steven's colleagues ask.Steven was silent for a moment before firmly replying, "So what? Lily and I have missed out on so many years together. Now she has brain cancer and only one month left to live. As long as it makes her happy, anything is worth it."As for Julia, I'll make it up to her for the rest of my life."I couldn't hold back my sobs any longer. My suppressed cries echoed through the hospital room.Steven quickly walked over to my bed. He held my hand tightly.I t

After moving into the same hospital ward as Lily, it suddenly felt like I was the third wheel.Steven took meticulous care of Lily, while I was left to be looked after by the caretaker he hired.The night-shift nurse glanced at Steven feeding Lily and couldn’t help but whisper to another nurse."Can you believe this guy? His wife is right here, yet he doesn’t even care. He’s always hovering around the other woman.""Who knows? The world is messed up these days. You see all kinds of people," the other nurse scoffed.Steven clearly overheard them. He sat down beside me and started peeling an apple.Lowering his voice, he explained, "Julia, it’s only a month. Bear with it. Lily doesn’t have much time left. I just feel sorry for her."I nodded to show I understood, but I felt bitter inside.Five years of my life with Steven, all set aside for Lily’s one remaining month.Nearby, Lily spoke in a soft, delicate voice. "I want to open the window and get some fresh air."The caretaker

After the wedding, Steven was already thinking about how to coax Julia back.He took out his phone and dialed her number, but no one answered.This had never happened before. In their five years of marriage, this was the first time he couldn’t reach her.Bonnie walked over. “Steven, don’t worry. She’s just throwing a tantrum. She’s always been petty. She’s probably playing hard to get again.”Lily lowered her gaze. “Julia always does this. Whenever she’s upset, she ignores people and sometimes even says really harsh things. I know she doesn’t like me. She thinks I stole you from her.”Steven frowned and cut her off. “Lily, don’t say that. Julia has done a lot for you. She’s not that kind of person.”He hesitated for a long time but ultimately decided to go check on Julia.Something felt amiss. There was a hunch that something bad was about to happen.“Mom, I’m going back to see her. She’s never acted like this before.”Ignoring his mother and Lily’s attempts to stop him, he ha

Steven's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he hadn’t slept in days. He was haggard and exhausted.He reached out, trying to touch my face, but I quickly dodged.Angie, like a mother hen protecting her chick, stepped in front of me, jabbing a finger at his nose while she cursed, “You still have the nerve to look for Julia? You killed her child and broke her leg! And now you’re putting on this pathetic act? Get lost!”Steven ignored Angie’s shouting and, with a dull thud, dropped to his knees before me. The sound of his knees hitting the ground made my heart clench for a moment.“Julia, I know I was wrong! Please forgive me! I was just too soft-hearted with her! She begged me before she died. I never thought she’d deliberately provoke you.”“Begged?” I cut him off. “Did she beg you to break my leg? Or did she beg you to kill our baby? Steven, I heard everything. You were the one who went out of your way to please her. You were the one who poured oil on the stairs and caused me

Steven had truly lost his mind.Not long after I returned home, he announced that he was going to livestream himself digging up Lily's grave.In the broadcast, his hair was a tangled mess, and he clutched a shovel while screaming hoarsely. "It's all because of this woman! It's all her fault! She ruined my family and tore my life apart! I'm going to dig her up! I'm going to make her pay!"It was ridiculous. Everything that happened was his own doing, yet he still had the audacity to blame someone else.In the comments, viewers were cursing him, calling him insane and deranged."Is this guy actually crazy? Digging up a grave is illegal!""I've seen some wild things, but this? This is next-level insanity.""@BaymontSecurity @BaymontPolice, arrest him already!”-Before long, my phone rang. It was the police, asking me to come to the scene and assist with the situation.By the time I arrived, Lily's grave had already been half-excavated. Part of the coffin was exposed.The photo
