On the day I'm due for my labor, Chad Nelson's first love, Lucy Baker, who's diagnosed with depression, barges into the maternity ward. Without warning, she plunges the knife she's holding into my belly. By the time Chad and the medical team arrive at the ward, I'm already lying in a pool of my own blood on the bed. The machine recording my vitals keeps screeching loudly the whole time. But Chad crouches down next to Lucy, who has gotten shoved to the floor by a nurse earlier. It seems that her elbow has suffered from light abrasions. "Dr. Nelson, your spouse is in critical condition. She needs to undergo a surgery immediately!" Chad raises his head to glance at me. His tone is cool and professional. "None of Caitlin's vital organs are hurt by the stab, so she can still endure the pain for now. Lucy, on the other and, has a coagulation disorder. Even though she has only suffered from abrasions, there's a chance that her blood flow can't be staunched at all. This makes her situation more critical than Caitlin's. "Anyway, give the two bags of blood in the blood bank to Lucy." When I get pushed away, I use all of my strength to grip Chad's white coat tightly. He just frowns at me in return. "Lucy didn't do this on purpose. Her depression has gotten triggered, that's all. Since you're a woman of medicine, you should be more empathetic toward the patient." After that, Chad digs out a letter of forgiveness from his pocket that he has already printed out in advance.

Chad was pinned tight inside the mangled driver's seat. He had lost all sensation in his legs.Warm blood cascaded from a massive gash in his abdomen, quickly soaking through his white shirt.With great effort, he turned his head and saw that the folder on the passenger seat was already drenched in a deep crimson.The silver baby anklet had slipped from its box, rolling out into the muddy water.The distant wail of ambulance sirens finally cut through the storm. Rescue workers rushed over in the pouring rain, using hydraulic shears to pry open the crushed car door."Hang in there, sir! Your blood pressure is dropping fast! We're going to get you out!"An EMT's flashlight beamed into his dilated pupils.Right then, from another vehicle caught in the wreckage came a man's desperate cry. "Doctor! Please, save my wife first! She's eight months pregnant. Her stomach is cut open, and she's losing so much blood!"The EMT paused, glancing over at the horrific scene nearby.Medical res

Lucy was sentenced to life in prison.She attempted to use a psychiatric evaluation to escape legal accountability, but Chad submitted the evidence of her discontinued medication and normal blood clotting.On the day of the trial, Chad sat in the very last row of the gallery.Even as Lucy broke down screaming in the dock, he remained fixed in his seat, completely expressionless.He resigned from his position as the director of obstetrics and had my name restored to the hospital's wall of honor.Using every connection at his disposal, he had the diagnosis of prenatal paranoia removed from my records and publicly admitted to his grave error in judgment and gross negligence.The medical administration team thought he had lost his mind when he handed in his self-disciplinary report.But none of that could be considered a real punishment.The real punishment happened in the dead of every sober night.Chad redecorated the nursery. Every single night, he would sit beside the empty cr

Lucy's fragile, sobbing voice echoed through the morgue's hallway. "Chad, please come back and be with me. I'm all alone in the ward, and I keep feeling like blood is dripping on my neck."Kneeling on the cold tiles, Chad pressed the phone against his ear.He didn't immediately soothe her with a gentle tone like he usually did, nor did he break down into hysterics like he had moments before.He stared blankly at freezer number three, and his voice came out eerily calm. "Okay. I'm coming right back. Just wait for me in the room."After hanging up, he used the wall for support and slowly stood up. Instead of returning to the VIP suite, he went straight to the hospital's security room."Pull up all the surveillance footage from the obstetrics department hallway and outside Lucy's ward from last night," he commanded the security guard, utilizing his authority as the director.The footage on the screen began to rapidly rewind.He clearly saw Lucy deliberately avoid the blind spot of

It was a death certificate.In the space for the deceased's name, my name was written.The cause of death was hemorrhagic shock, placental abruption, and multi-organ failure.As Chad stared at the paper, his Adam's apple bobbed violently, but he couldn't force out a single syllable.He tried to muster a disbelief-filled smile, but his fingers flinched back the moment they brushed the edge of the paper."Jake, don't play these kinds of jokes," he said, his voice completely parched."She barely even catches a cold. How could… It was just a cut. I examined her wound myself. It really didn't touch her organs."Jake snapped the unlit cigarette in half and tossed it into the trash. "Yeah, it didn't touch her organs. But that blade severed a branch of the uterine artery."Jake stood up, yanked the row of EKG strips over, and slammed them down hard in front of Chad."Look at them! By the time Caitlin was brought into the OR, the internal bleeding in her abdominal cavity had already ex

The curtains in the room were drawn shut, blocking out every sliver of light.On the nightstand, a phone played a loop of a fetal monitor alarm on full blast.Scattered across the floor were the shredded pieces of a 3D ultrasound photo—the one I had waited in line all by myself to get when I was s

When Chad reached home, the nightlight in the nursery was still on.Its warm glow pooled over the brand-new crib, which was neatly made with the sheets I had washed and dried.My hospital bag sat wide open on the couch, packed with tiny clothes and diapers. On the entryway shoe rack lay my pregnan

The nurse, Sofia Allen, stood at the doorway of the VIP suite, holding a folder. "Dr. Nelson, the obstetrics department needs you to sign off on last night's resuscitation records."Chad tested the water temperature before handing the glass to Lucy.He didn't even look back. "Just leave it at the

My husband, Chad Nelson, held my blood-soaked hand and pressed my thumb onto the signature line."The next batch of blood bags will be here soon. Just hold on a little longer."With that, he carried his first love, Lucy Baker, away.The hallway was empty. No one looked back as the baby in my bell
