Who Was Behind My Miscarriages? Chapter 15
Ian looked up sharply."You didn’t ask me here to give me another chance.""No."I looked at him."I wanted you to know Willa wasn’t the one who caused my miscarriages.""She was cruel and selfish. She used her pain to control you.""But you were the one who put the tablets in my hand. You were the one who stopped me from calling the police, changed my medical records, and shut off the cameras.""She said she couldn’t live, so you sacrificed my babies to keep her alive.""You were the one who killed them. It was you all along."Ian seemed to lose all his strength. He slowly sank to his knees in front of me.People in the café looked over.He no longer seemed to care. He gripped the edge of the table."I was wrong. I know I was. I’ll do anything you ask.""I’ll go to prison. I’ll give you my life. Just please don’t hate me."I looked down at him.Once, I couldn’t bear to see him upset.When work went badly, I stayed up with him.When his stomach pain flared, I drove out in the middle of

My voice stayed calm.I sounded as though I were telling someone else’s story.But beneath the table, my nails dug deep into my palms."The second time, I told no one I was pregnant. Yet you told Willa the day you got my test results. She broke down on the phone, and you promised her again that there wouldn’t be a baby.""Hugh put the second charm in the nursery. You changed the medication again. I started bleeding before I fell in the bathroom.""But you made everyone tell me I’d lost the baby because I was careless."At that, I could no longer keep my voice from shaking."Ian, do you know how I lived that year? I was afraid to shower, to go downstairs, even to walk alone.""Every night, I dreamed of the blood on the floor. I asked myself over and over why I couldn’t protect my baby. And you knew the truth all along.""You watched me blame myself. You watched me go to therapy. You watched me kneel in a chapel and pray for the child we lost. Not once did you tell me it wasn’t my fault.
Who Was Behind My Miscarriages? Chapter 13
Ian didn’t sign the divorce agreement right away.He stayed in the small town and waited outside the apartment complex where I lived every day.When it rained, he stood at the entrance with an umbrella.When I went to the hospital, he followed at a distance.When my nausea got worse, he sent me bland meals through someone else. I sent them back untouched.A month later, my lawyer told me the police had formally obtained the relevant records.Hugh could no longer withstand the pressure. He admitted Ian had ordered all three silver lock charms.Hugh left the first one outside our door.The second time, he entered the nursery under the pretense of checking the windows.The third time, he shut off the cameras and handed the charm to Ian.Hugh only bought the medication.Most of the time, Ian was the one who put the tablets in my pill organizer.My lawyer asked if I wanted to hand over all the evidence at once."Wait a few days," I said.I wasn’t having second thoughts.I wanted to tell Ian

Willa stared at him."You’re telling me to get out? Because of Nina? She’s already gone! She’ll never forgive you!"Ian stood, his voice hoarse."I said get out."Willa broke down too."Why are you blaming me? You changed the medication yourself the first time. The second time, you told Hugh to deal with the cameras.""All I did was cry a few times and say I couldn’t bear to see you two have a child.""You couldn’t bring yourself to divorce her, and you couldn’t bear to let me die!""You thought you could keep us both. Now you’ve lost everything. Whose fault is that?"The house fell silent.Ian looked at the charms on the table, bent over, and retched.But nothing came up.For the first time, he understood that the two miscarriages he’d dismissed as "the past" had torn open a wound in his life that would never close.Three months after I left, Ian finally found me in a small town in the south.I had just finished a prenatal appointment and was leaving the hospital.My belly had begun t

For the first few days, Ian still believed I would come back.Eleven years together. Four years of marriage.I had loved him so much.After my first miscarriage, pain kept me awake all night. I could only calm down when he held me.After the second, I developed severe insomnia and often woke in the middle of the night to check that he was still beside me.He grew used to my dependence and forgiveness, no matter how often he went to Willa.So, he had people watch the train station, the airport, and my parents’ house. He was certain I was hiding until he gave in and came looking for me.A week passed without any news.After two weeks, my prenatal records were transferred to another hospital.He finally began to panic.He used every connection he had to find me, only to discover that I’d already gotten a new phone number and changed the mailing address on my bank accounts.He went to see Sophie."She’s finally learned to protect herself," Sophie said."You’d better not find her.""How’s t

Ian came home at ten that morning.He hadn’t slept all night. He stayed at the hospital while Willa had her stomach pumped and returned only after her condition stabilized.He expected to find me waiting on the sofa for his explanation, as I always had before, with oatmeal ready for him.But when he opened the door, the house was dark and silent.The housekeeper was gone.Half the walk-in closet was empty.All my skincare products had disappeared from the bathroom.He stood in the bedroom doorway and stared at my ring on the bedside table for a long time.Only when his phone slipped from his hand did he seem to wake. He rushed into the living room.The three silver lock charms lay side by side on the dining table.The first, the second, and the third.Their silver surfaces reflected his pale face.I had signed my name at the bottom of the divorce agreement.He called me.The first time, my phone was off.The second time, it was still off.He tried another number and discovered that I h
