My DINK Wife Celebrates Her Love Child Chapter 9
The weather on the day of the wedding was unusually beautiful.Sunlight hit the ballroom's glass curtain wall in a dazzling golden blaze, almost as if it were mocking something.The room was full of guests. More than three hundred people packed the ballroom wall to wall.There were flowers, balloons, and a champagne tower. Everything was as lavish as it could possibly be.Camille wore a pure white wedding gown with a long, trailing skirt. She held Oliver's arm, her smile radiant.Oliver looked sharp in his suit, brimming with confidence. He went from table to table with his glass raised, every bit the picture of a man who'd won at life.Jonah stood in a corner and gave me a slight nod.I took a deep breath, walked over to the control booth, and plugged a USB drive into the main computer.Onstage, the emcee was announcing that the bride and groom would now exchange rings. The big screen had been set up to play a short film about their love story.The screen flickered.Then it

Camille and Oliver's wedding was set for two weeks later.Word spread until everyone knew. Supposedly, Oliver had booked the biggest ballroom in the city, and the banquet alone would fill a hundred tables.Three days before the wedding, Jonah came to see me in his role as "peacemaker" and "go-between."When he came in, he kept his head down and couldn't bring himself to look at me.He sat in the chair in my hospital room for a long time before he managed to squeeze out, "Adam..."I ignored him.He stammered for a long while before he finally spoke, his voice low and strained. "Your mom's body... has been cremated. Her ashes are at the funeral home. I helped take care of it. I'm sorry."I still didn't say anything.The hospital room was so quiet I could hear the beep of the heart monitor.Jonah crouched down and buried his head in his hands, his voice starting to shake. "I wronged you. When Oliver came to me, he gave me forty thousand dollars to help cover for him. I... I'd r

Sure enough.First thing the next morning, Oliver started spreading his version of the story.He claimed that in the hospital room that day, I'd come at him and the baby with a knife, trying to kill them, and that Camille had accidentally hurt me while trying to stop me.He told it so convincingly, with every detail vividly made up. "Adam's eyes were bloodshot. He was screaming that he'd kill my son. If Camille hadn't thrown herself at him, I'd be the one who was dead right now."The story spread like wildfire.Even Jonah believed it. He sent me a message trying to talk me down. [Adam, what were you thinking getting that worked up? You almost got someone killed, you know that? Whatever the problem is, talk it out. Pulling a knife? What the hell?]I didn't reply.Camille believed it too.Or rather, she chose to believe it.The next time she came to my room, her attitude had clearly changed.Gone was the guilty, shifty look from before. Now she was condescending, as if she'

The last thing I saw was the harsh white fluorescent light on the ceiling.Then everything went black.When I woke up again, five days had passed.The sharp smell of disinfectant filled my nose. My chest was wrapped in thick bandages, and every breath felt like needles stabbing into me.I turned my head. Camille was sitting in a chair beside the bed.She looked haggard. There were dark circles under her eyes and her lips were cracked, as if she hadn't slept or had anything to drink in days.When she saw my eyes open, she shot to her feet. The chair skidded backward with a harsh scrape."Adam! You're finally awake..." Her voice trembled, and her eyes instantly turned red. "Do you know you almost died? The doctor said if it had been less than half an inch over, it would've hit your heart..."I looked at her.I looked at her for a long time.Then I spoke, my voice so hoarse it didn't sound like my own. "I almost died? It's all thanks to you and Oliver."The worry on Camille's f

For the next three days, I looked after my mom while scrambling to raise money wherever I could.Her specialty drug alone cost several thousand dollars a month. Add the monitoring fees, nursing fees, and the cost of the bed, and it was a bottomless pit.I sold everything I could sell. All I had left was a single watch, the one my mom gave me for my thirtieth birthday.On the morning of the fourth day, I got a call from the hospital."Mr. Weaver? Your mother's condition has taken a sharp turn for the worse. Get over here right now!"When I reached the third floor of the hospital, I shoved open the door to her room and froze on the spot.Oliver was sprawled in the chair beside the bed as if he owned the place, holding that month-old baby.My mom was propped up against the headboard, her face as gray as a sheet of paper. Her eyes were wide, her lips were purple, and her whole body was trembling.When Oliver saw me, he didn't bother to get up. Instead, he deliberately held the baby

I didn't go home. I went straight to Ravenside General Hospital.Earlier that year, my mom had been diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer. It had already spread, and surgery was out of the question. All that kept her going was targeted therapy and the monitors she was hooked up to.The moment I walked into her room, a nurse hurried over with a bill. "Mr. Weaver, you need to pay this right away. The payments for the specialty drug and the monitoring are two days overdue. The system is about to cut off her medication. If you don't pay, there's nothing we can do."I took the bill and glanced at it. The number made my scalp prickle.Just two days ago, Camille had told me she'd already paid. Had she lied to me about that, too?My mom lay in the hospital bed with an oxygen tube under her nose. Her arms were covered in needle marks and bruises, and she'd wasted away to skin and bone.But when she saw me, her eyes lit up.She struggled to pull the oxygen tube aside and asked softly,
