My husband, Liam, got his terminally ill ex-girlfriend, Chloe, pregnant. He said it was to grant her dying wish of becoming a mother. On the day she gave birth, Liam's sister, Isabella, hired a security firm to guard the hospital, claiming it was to prevent me from causing a scene. Isabella stood by Chloe's bedside. "Don't worry, I have people posted at the entrance. If Ava dares to show up and make trouble, we'll have her thrown out immediately." Liam, seeing I hadn't come, breathed a sigh of relief. "Chloe, just focus on delivering our baby safely. Don't worry about anything else." He truly believed that since he was only fulfilling his dying ex's last wish, I would never be so unreasonable as to make a fuss. Looking at the tiny, rosy infant in his arms, he sent me a text: "Darling, I did this for you. I had her carry a child for us, so you could finally be a mother." He thought that as long as I accepted it all, this child was my ultimate reward. But what he didn't know was that I had just surrendered my residency. In one week, I would be in Kenya, working as a volunteer on a project of biomedical research. It was meant to be a final goodbye—a world away from Liam, forever. But he was searching for me like a madman, pleading for me to return.

My Husband Said He Gifted Me a Child, So I Gifted Him a Exit Chapter 10
A faint smile played on my lips. I had expected as much.After I returned to the main tent, my colleague Matthew came over, eager for gossip."Was that your husband? Came all this way to find you. That's some real persistence. My ex dumped me the second he heard I was going to Africa and found someone younger.""So, how come he didn't stay with you?"I quietly gathered my lab notes from the table and said simply, "Not husband. Ex-husband."Matthew paused for a beat, then wisely dropped the subject.Soon, the relentless pace of work pushed the incident to the back of my mind.Two years later, I was invited back to New York to give a speech at the United Nations Headquarters for my contributions to global public health.My expertise in biomedical science had deepened, becoming both broader and more nuanced. And this time, I wasn't returning alone. My boyfriend, Jasper, was with me.We had met at the camp. During a rescue mission, a massive explosion had sent shrapnel flying. I'd been wor

The gunfire was a clash between local militants and government forces, and the conflict was spilling over into the medical camp.On instinct alone, I grabbed Liam—who was frozen solid by the gunshots and my cold rejection—and pulled him down behind a supply truck. The movement was practiced and calm.Liam collapsed to the ground in terror, babbling incoherently."Ava... are we going to die? I haven't... I still have my son to take care of..."I, on the other hand, was used to this. I calmly spoke into my walkie-talkie, coordinating with the security team."Matthew, we have active conflict in the northeast corner. Move all critical patients to the basement immediately.""Prioritize securing antibiotics and blood plasma."Liam's raw fear was a pathetic contrast to the moral high ground he'd claimed just moments before. This man, a titan of Wall Street, couldn't even stand on his own two feet in the face of real danger.After some time, the gunfire began to thin.I called over a security

My breath caught in my throat. An image of Liam flashed in my mind, feeling like a lifetime ago. A storm of forgotten emotions churned within me.Could it... could it really be Liam?Before I could even process it, he burst into the tent. "Ava! I finally found you!"He rushed forward and pulled me into a hug, burying his face in my neck, his tears hot against my skin. He was a shadow of his former self, rail-thin, his eyes bloodshot.But we were strangers now.Shortly after I arrived in Kenya, my lawyer had sent me a message. He said the divorce proceedings had been officially initiated.Whether Liam cooperated or not, the court would legally declare our marriage null and void within two weeks.So I didn't understand why he would go to such great lengths to find me now.With that thought, I pushed him away gently, my voice firm."Liam, we're divorced."Hearing this, Liam's eyes grew redder, his voice hoarse."Ava, please don't push me away. I went to every airline, checked every depart

As the plane touched down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, I rested my head against the window, gazing at the vast blue sky over the African continent.It felt surreal.From this moment on, I no longer belonged to any one place. I would dedicate myself to a world that needed me more.After more than a dozen hours of flying, my fellow medical team members and I deplaned, exhausted. This was a world away from the glamorous comfort of New York. It was a place of sickness and death, where a single misstep could cost you your life.In the SUV on the way to the camp, the project leader, Matthew, briefed us on the local epidemic. He handed each of us a set of protective gear, saying that while saving lives was important, protecting our own was paramount."Every pathogen you study here can be lethal," he said. "Remember, you have to protect yourself before you can save anyone else."His words filled me with a profound sense of purpose.I suddenly thought back to my years with Liam, when
