Semua Bab As I Was Micarrying, My Husband Ran Off to Save His Childhood Friend: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Caleb Gordon and I were high school sweethearts. We dated for seven years, and then were married for five.We had been aiming to conceive since our second year of marriage. However, we found out that Caleb had some kind of disease. Our chances of conceiving naturally were meager.We chose to go for IVF instead. In the next four years, I had twelve implantations and three successful pregnancies. Each time, I would miscarry for one reason or another.I got used to the pain of egg extraction and the weariness of the recovery period. I did not mind, because I wanted to give the man I loved a healthy son.Six months ago, I finally got pregnant for the fourth time.I was afraid of miscarrying again, so I decided to take my doctor’s advice and give up my career at the peak of its glory. I went home and stayed on bedrest.I rarely left the bed for six whole months. I nurtured this baby carefully, waiting for the day it was born, hoping it would be the cherry on top of our twelve-year rel

I did not care who he was with anymore.As expected, Caleb did not show up for the next few days. He did not even text me.On the day I was discharged from the hospital, however, I found him waiting for me in the carpark. I immediately turned to leave, but he gave chase. He stood in my way and grabbed my things.“Get into the car.” His tone was overbearing, as always.It was pointless to argue with him. I rolled my eyes and got into the backseat.A strong and familiar scent of perfume wafted over from the passenger seat. It was Luna’s favorite brand.I used to smell this scent in the car often. Every time, I would agitatedly ask Caleb what was going on. Today, however, I just glanced at the front passenger seat before looking away without a word.Caleb stood outside the car, glancing at my stomach before scoffing. “So you stopped pretending after a few days in the hospital?”It was almost winter, and my body was weak after the miscarriage. I did not want to catch a cold, so I

I took their scolding on the nose, borrowed fifty thousand dollars, and went to the hospital for IVF treatments.I spent most of the next four years in hospitals doing checkups and taking care of my body at home, trying to conceive. I moved my career online. Sometimes, I would find time to help Caleb at his company, sharing some of his burden.With my help, Caleb’s company grew steadily. Three years ago, it finally went public and became a rising star in the local business scene.That day, Caleb was carted home drunk. As soon as he walked into the door, he hugged me and ranted, “Honey, we finally… don’t have to worry about money anymore… Your husband finally became rich…”He grabbed a handful of cash and threw it into the air. The notes drifted down onto him, me… and the woman at the door.“Nice to meet you, Ella. I’m Luna James, Caleb’s childhood friend.”The one who had brought him home was Luna, his childhood friend who had been missing for years. From the moment I laid eyes o

When Caleb walked into the room, I immediately turned my head and closed my eyes. I did not want to say anything to him. I heard someone approaching me, but before they could say anything, there was a commotion outside the door. The next second, someone else rushed inside. “Caleb!”Caleb sounded surprised. “Why did you come here? Go back!”I opened my eyes and turned back with a frown, just in time to see Caleb pushing Luna out of the room by her shoulders.Luna had actually found her way here. When she saw me, she grinned smugly. She even instinctively stuck out her stomach, pretending to support it with her hand.I narrowed my eyes. That gesture was quite familiar. As expected, Luna soon put on her familiar pitiful look. “Caleb, you've ignored me for seven days now. You can throw me away if you really want to, but are you going to abandon our baby too?”I could not help but laugh out loud. So she was pregnant. No wonder she came here to show off. Was that what she told h

“Your injury is serious, and you haven't fully recovered yet. You should stay under observation for a few more days.”I hurriedly shook my head and insisted on leaving. I had had enough of this hospital and Caleb's disgusting face! Right now, I just wanted to get as far away from here as possible.Dr. Shay had no choice but to discharge me.I did not know where Caleb went after I chased him out of my room. In any case, he did not show up when I left the hospital. I called my assistant to rent a simple apartment and hire a cook for me. My focus now was to recover as fast as I could. I did not want Caleb disturbing me, so I blocked his number and refused any unknown calls. After resting in peace for more than a month, my wound was finally mostly healed.After leaving Caleb, I even gained a few pounds. My body was no longer as skinny and haggard as before.I decided to take back my things the next day. I did not leave anything too valuable behind. However, there were some present
