My Lover Is My Husband's Younger Self

I hung my head and stirred my coffee listlessly, a bitter smile playing on my lips."No. Nothing happened, actually. You're also in very good health."We got married as soon as we graduated from college. At first, we had a very close relationship with each other, and life was very blissful. We loved each other as deeply as we had for the past decade or so."However, everything changed as soon as Bianca appeared."Bianca had begun working at Robert's company in its fifth year, and that was also the year when our marriage entered its "seven-year itch".I had been busy working and getting promoted as the youngest attending physician at the hospital, while Robert's career was also experiencing exponential growth.Gradually, his social engagements and obligations increased, having to attend countless balls, galas, banquets, and business meetings.After rejecting his invitation to accompany him to a couple of such social events, Robert lost his temper with me for the first time ever.

I quickly checked Bianca's condition and confirmed that she was in the first stages of labor after her water broke, but no further medical intervention was required as all her vitals were still normal. I just instructed Robert to carry her into the ambulance that I'd called while we were on the way there.Before entering the delivery room, Bianca suddenly grabbed my hand."Dr. Hudson, you're the top gynae in the city. Can you please come in and deliver my baby?"The nurses and medical staff nearby knew a bit about my current family situation and quickly stepped forward to intervene when they heard that."Ms. Strickland, Dr. Hudson hasn't performed any of your prenatal checks before and isn't familiar with your specific situation. It would be better if another gynecologist handled it instead. All of the doctors in our obstetrics department are very professional…"However, no matter how much they tried to talk Bianca out of it, she still grabbed tightly onto my hand and refused to l

They were both essentially the same person—one being Robert when he was 30 years old, and the other being his younger self at 18 years old. And yet, their attitudes were drastically different.I recalled how exhausted I'd felt at the operating table, how he begged me with the wish coupon, and how he chatted and joked with Bianca with their baby in his arms, and realized that my heart and mind were a total, discombobulated mess.I decided to ignore him altogether.After recovering, I discharged myself from the hospital. The 18-year-old Robert insisted on taking me home and held my hand all the way back like he was worried I'd suddenly pass out again.As we approached the apartment building, he suddenly came close to me and whispered in my ear in a low voice, "Kitty, I suspect that there's something wrong with Bianca's baby."I've been thinking about it. Her bleeding that day had been too coincidental as it happened right after you were done with another delivery. Also, my 30-year-o

The company's listing plans were not affected after all, thanks to Robert's timely intervention. In fact, his honesty and straightforwardness about the matter even gained more trust and favor from the public.After he was done handling everything, Robert then hurried over to our home with all of the evidence and a copy of our divorce agreement.When he opened the door, he saw me and his younger self sitting on the couch in the living room. He hesitated a little before walking in."Kitty, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong."He then set out the evidence before me and continued, "Bianca kept planting it in my head that you didn't care about me and that you only wanted to focus on your career, which was why you ignored me."I was confused and believed in her lies too easily, causing me to get into a huge argument with you and move out."She then orchestrated her entire pregnancy and lied to me about it again, telling me that I was the father of her baby. That was the only reason why I us

"I hope you'll always be happy, Kitty," teenage Robert said."As for you, my 30-year-old self, if you ever dare to make another mistake, I swear I will never forgive you even if I have to come back from another timeline!"After he disappeared, an envelope was left behind on the couch.I picked it up with shaky hands and took out the letter inside the envelope. It was filled with his neat yet somewhat still childish handwriting."By the time you read this letter, Robert Bowen, I will probably be gone. I know that you made a lot of mistakes in the past, causing Kitty a lot of suffering, and I feel remorseful toward you."You must never forget your true self when you were younger. You must remember how much effort you put into pursuing and marrying Kitty. You must remember that she is the most important person in your life, and she is also someone whom you must cherish and protect for as long as you live."Don't make her cry anymore. Don't ignore her or neglect her anymore either. T
