Chapter 9

작가: Against the Flow
I refused to go downstairs, so Cameron immediately climbed over the wall and into my house. I was worried he would disturb my parents and could only threaten him in a hushed whisper, "I'm not going to go to the hospital with you. If you know what's good for you, then leave as soon as possible!"

It was only when Cameron got closer that I realized he looked completely different from usual. He was wearing thick gloves, and his neck was even wrapped in a scarf.

In the past, he always cared about his appearance and would never dress so atrociously.

I took a step back, and when Cameron reached out as if to grab my hand, he hesitated right before touching me.

"Cameron, what happened to you?" I asked.

As I looked at how strange he was being, a bad premonition crept up in my heart.

Could Cameron be sick?

When he saw that I still refused to follow him, Cameron finally spoke. "Justine, everything that happened before was my fault. I'm not asking for your forgiveness. As long as you agree t

  • Never to Be a Father   Chapter 11

    Cameron stood frozen in place, and his parents were seemingly unable to believe what they had just heard."My son, how did you get HIV? Could it be that the hospital made a mistake?" Betty asked in disbelief.While shaking his head weakly, Cameron replied, "I've gotten tested many times. It's always the same…"Betty and Ronald, who had initially been holding his hands, unconsciously let go and even frantically wiped their hands on their sleeves.Cameron never imagined that even his own parents would reject him."This… This disease is contagious, and it's incurable…" Betty said weakly.After he heard this, Cameron's face turned pale—he had obviously felt hurt by their rejection.I was about to turn and leave when Julie suddenly appeared from out of nowhere. She nearly stabbed me with a pocket knife, but Cameron dashed over and took the blow for me."Justine, let's not get divorced, okay?" Those were his last words before leaving this world.The police car's sirens wailed as i

  • Never to Be a Father   Chapter 10

    Following Cameron's explanation, I went with him to the hospital for a checkup. Fortunately, my body was fine.It must have been because, ever since I'd found out about Cameron's infertility, our attempts to have a child had shifted from natural conception to artificial insemination.Cameron's sperm quality had worsened with each attempt, so the doctor used the sperm sample from when he was still healthy to perform the IVF.That meant the baby in my womb had been perfectly healthy too. He could have been safely born into this world.After leaving the hospital, Cameron and I remained speechless.Cameron was indeed pitiful—but every bit of his misery was his own doing.If it weren't for him desperately wanting to take care of his so-called "unattainable love" and clinging to her like an idiot, how could Julie have gotten close enough to infect him with her disease?"This is the end. I'll have the divorce papers sent over when I have time. Let's never see each other again," I said

    I couldn't describe how I felt at that moment—perhaps it was something akin to having eaten some disgusting shit.Julie wasn't done with her rant. "I couldn't accept it! That was why I dated someone abroad too. But why should I be abandoned by a scumbag and nearly lose my life because of a miscarriage, while you get to live a happy, peaceful life that originally belonged to me?"Hmph! I didn't expect that Cameron would still think about me after I came back. All I had to do was shed a few tears, and he personally tricked you into going to the hospital to kill your child! All just to make me happy!"You know, when you were on the operating table for your abortion, he was sitting right next to me, watching. How unfortunate that he never looked at you from the beginning till the end. When they removed your child, he only had eyes for me!"Justine, you lost! You have to give up your place to me and give me back the life that was supposed to be mine!"After hearing all of this, I only

    After I arrived at my parents' house, I told them everything that had transpired.By the time Mom heard me finishing the whole story, she had tears streaming down her face."If I had known that family was like this, I would have never let you marry him! My dear daughter has suffered so much. It's not worth it to have a child for such a man!" She cried, "Getting a divorce is also good! Just stay here with us and live in peace"I nodded with tears welling up in my eyes—this home was truly my only safe haven. Wherever my parents were, that was home.…I never expected Cameron would still have the guts to confront me. He bellowed, "Justine! Get out here! My parents are already at an elderly age, and you're still making them angry? What are you trying to do? If anything happens to them, can you bear the responsibility?"My parents told me not to go out, but the man at the door kept slandering me without a pause. How could I stand for it?I angrily retorted, "What have I done to you

  • Never to Be a Father   Chapter 6

    How could a person who could murder their own child be qualified to be a father?After I married him, he told me he would hand over his salary to me to manage. But that was just what he said on the surface—in reality, while I had his bank account number, he kept the password and PIN.He tightly protected all his income, and other than the necessary monthly expenses, I didn't get a single cent.But even so, because I was blinded by love, I never questioned him—I always thought that a couple should trust each other.I was being serious about the divorce, but it seemed Cameron was convinced that I couldn't live without him."Justine, think carefully. Can you live without me after the divorce? After being out of the workforce for so many years, do you really have the courage to go back to work? Just stay home and be my trophy wife. As long as you don't disturb Julie, you'll be my wife forever. Isn't that nice?" he said.No! How could that be nice?Marrying this hypocritical man was
