Author: Gazette
What I disclosed took flight like it had wings. In less than half an hour, the news had spread throughout the entire surgical department.

By the time I found Brody, several of his colleagues were staring at him with strange, probing looks.

Carrying the thermos, I walked in and announced loudly in front of everyone, "Honey, Isabelle is pregnant! We're going to have a new addition to the family! Come on, take some time off. You need to get her registered at the obstetrics and gynecology departme

  • My Husband's Graveyard Gift Ended Our Marriage   Chapter 10

    In just three months, he looked like a completely different person. His hair had been shaved down to his scalp, and he wore a faded prison uniform.His face was gaunt and ghostlike, and his eyes deeply sunken. His back was hunched over like a broken man whose spine had become severely deformed.The moment he saw how polished and glamorous I looked, the stark contrast shattered the last shred of his sanity. Like a rabid dog driven into a corner, he suddenly lunged at the glass, his eyes blazing with hatred and resentment.He grabbed the telephone receiver, his voice hoarse, desperate, and deranged. "Roxanne! You knew all along, didn't you? You heard us from outside the door. You recorded everything. You deliberately stood by and watched us make fools of ourselves!"I leaned back in my chair and looked at him calmly, as if I were staring at a pile of trash.I said flatly, "That's right. From the moment you bought Isabelle a grave… From the moment the two of you drugged me and pois

    The next day, the police arrived at the hospital with an arrest warrant.Brody had originally hoped to hire a lawyer and get released on bail by claiming it had been a family dispute that accidentally got out of hand.But when the criminal investigators played the recording and questioned him about how he had obtained the controlled mifepristone, he completely broke down."It was Isabelle! That bitch made the recording!" he exclaimed.In the interrogation room, Brody screamed like a madman. He pushed all the blame onto the woman he had once claimed to love with his life.He hurriedly explained, "I got the medication, but she was the one who put it in the food! She was jealous that Roxanne was carrying my child. She forced me to do it! I didn't know anything about it! Go arrest her! She was the mastermind!"Watching two villains tear each other apart never got old.Carrying the divorce agreement I had already drafted, I walked into Isabelle's hospital room. She lay on the bed wit

    I hid behind the slightly open door of the guest room and coldly watched the pair of star-crossed lovers who had once sworn that nothing could ever break their bond. Now that their interests and reputations were at risk, they finally bared their ugliest, most selfish fangs at each other.In truth, I didn't care whether Isabelle was actually carrying Bill's child. I only needed Brody to have doubts.Brody was an extremely arrogant man who cared about his reputation above all else and had an intense obsession with emotional fidelity. Once he believed he had been cuckolded—by a thug, no less—the humiliation alone was enough to destroy every shred of his sanity.He tossed Isabelle to the floor like a piece of trash and pointed at her stomach with bloodshot eyes. "Get rid of the baby now! Because of you, I've ruined my career and taken on more than 300,000 dollars in debt! And you had the audacity to pass off some bastard's child as mine! I'll buy the pills tomorrow. If they don't get

    The next day, as I was thinking about how to set off the ticking time bomb that was Bill, a comment suddenly popped up before my eyes."Major drama ahead! In the original novel, Bill corners Isabelle today!"I sneered. Talk about perfect timing.I anonymously sent Bill a text message. "Isabelle is pregnant. The baby is yours. She has the 50,000 dollars that Brody gave her and is planning to run away with it. If you don't come now, you'll lose both your woman and the money."After sending the message, I sat at home and quietly waited for the show to begin.Sure enough, I received a call from one of the neighborhood committee ladies that afternoon. She said anxiously, "Roxanne, hurry back and take a look! Isabelle is being cornered in the hallway by some thug she owes money to. He's beating her up and says she owes him 50,000 dollars!"I immediately took a cab home.By the time I arrived at the residential area, the building was surrounded by neighbors watching the commotion.F

We're going to have a new addition to the family! Come on, take some time off. You need to get her registered at the obstetrics and gynecology department for her checkups."A loud clatter rang out as the pen in Brody's hand fell onto the desk, splattering ink all over his hand.His face flushed and paled. Then, it took on a sickly green shade. The veins on his forehead throbbed violently. He stared fixedly at me, his eyes filled with disbelief and terror.He shot to his feet, his voice cracking. "You… What did you say?"One of his colleagues beside him patted him on the shoulder with a knowing smile. "Congratulations, Dr. Singer! Your wido

    At that critical moment, I quickly turned off my phone screen and slipped it into my pocket. Then, I pulled a pair of Bluetooth earbuds from my other pocket and put them in my ears. I bent down and picked up a cardboard delivery box that had been left in a corner by the door, letting out a heavy gasp.I kicked the doorframe irritably. As I raised my head, there was a fine sheen of sweat covering my forehead. Surprise flashed through my eyes before giving way to weary annoyance."Honey? Didn't you go to work? Come give me a hand. That damn delivery guy insisted on leaving the package by the elevator even though it was supposed to be delivered to the door. It's full of medicinal food I bought for Isabelle. It's so damn heavy!" I complained.Brody had been tense and apprehensive. But when he saw me drenched in sweat, wearing earbuds and struggling with the box, the murderous intent in his eyes faded and gave way to scrutiny.He stared into my eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing with diff
