Health Deficits Examples

On the eve of my wedding, I catch my boyfriend of seven years, Eddy Stark, and my best friend, Jane Holman, going at it in the company break room. All my coworkers crowd outside the glass door, watching the spectacle. "My gosh! That's your boyfriend, right? It turns out…" At the most humiliating moment in my life, Rylen Huff, the CEO who never got along with me, walks over and drapes his coat over my shoulders. Before everyone present, he makes an announcement. "She is my fiancée. Save your nonsense." From that day on, I go from being the company's joke to the CEO's wife who everyone envies. After we get married, Rylen treats me very well. He gives me everything from jewelry and mansion to power. But only one thing never goes as planned—we don't have a child. To give him an heir, I go through injections and egg retrieval again and again. After 99 IVF attempts, I finally get pregnant. But on the day of my prenatal checkup, I overhear his conversation with the doctor. "Mr. Huff, the IVF procedure has already severely damaged her health and body. If she finds out that this embryo is actually Jane's, I fear she may have a mental meltdown." Rylen falls silent for a moment. Then, he says evenly, "I've already given her a life most people could never have. She should feel contented. When she gives birth, I'll tell her that her body was too weak, and the baby didn't make it. "Jane cannot handle the pain and hardship of childbirth. We are childhood friends who grew up together, after all. Of course, I should handle a minor matter like this for her." So the timely rescue and unconditional favor from Rylen were nothing but lies. I immediately schedule an abortion, as I don't intend to give birth to a child that isn't mine. In addition, I won't stay with a man who has never loved me.

When I'm having a meal with my family at home, I find out that my childhood sweetheart, Melanie Johnson, has given up on an opportunity to get promoted and transferred to the military base in the north for the sake of my cousin, Wilson Chandler. "Wilson's competence is only good enough for him to study at a local college in town. It so happens that Mrs. Holland is in poor health as well. I've already applied for a local college for you. We shall stay in this town together." My mom adds, "That's right. I did promise your uncle that I'll take good care of Wilson, so you need to help me take care of him too. You should just give up on Valmore College—it's useless for you anyway. When you marry Melanie in the future, you'll have to follow her to whichever military district she's going to." Before I can even speak up, Wilson's eyes redden instantly, making him look very aggrieved. "This is my fault for being a total loser. My parents aren't here anymore, not to mention I'm the reason why Charlie can't attend his dream college. Why don't you all just leave and do whatever you want? I'm fine being alone." The moment Wilson starts playing the pity card, both my mom and Melanie panic instantly and start doing their best to comfort him. Meanwhile, I return to my room quietly and withdrew the application that Melanie helped me submit. Luckily, I manage to apply to Valmore College one second before the submission deadline ends. Honestly speaking, I intend to study at Valmore College not just because I can be closer to Melanie in terms of distance, but I also want to watch the snow with her there. I want us to walk together in the snow till our heads turn white from the flakes, signifying the longevity in our relationship. But now, the person standing next to me as I watch the snowfall doesn't matter to me anymore. It's just that I need to watch the snowfall no matter what.

Si Lucky ay NBSB, at isang matagumpay na manunulat ng erotika. Lumaki siyang malaya at may sariling kakayahan kahit na ipinanganak siya sa isang mayamang pamilya. Siya ay kontento na sa kanyang dalawampu't walong taong pag-iral. Gayunpaman, umabot siya sa punto ng kanyang buhay na nais niyang magkaroon ng anak. Nasa tamang edad na si Lucky; marami na siyang naipon na pera at may sariling bahay. Ito rin ang paulit-ulit na hinihiling ng kanyang mga magulang. Isa lang ang problema ni Lucky: dumaranas siya ng genophobia, isang mental health disorder na nailalarawan sa pamamagitan ng takot sa sekswal na intimacy. Walang ibang nakakaalam sa kalagayan niya bukod sa matalik niyang kaibigan na si Genesis. Maging ang sariling pamilya ay walang kamalay-malay dahil natatakot siyang kutyain ng iba ang kanyang kalagayan; kaya, hindi solusyon ang pag-ampon sa kanyang pagnanais na magkaroon ng anak. Isang opsyon lang ang maiisip niya: IUI, isang medikal na pamamaraan kung saan direktang itinatanim ang sp*rm ng isang lalaking donor sa matris ng babae. Sinabi ni Lucky kay Genesis ang tungkol sa kanyang plano, at sinuportahan siya ng kanyang matalik na kaibigan; gayunpaman, nang sabihin niya na gusto niyang si Genesis ang kanyang sp*rm donor, tumanggi ang lalaki, na sinasabing ayaw niyang managot sa sinumang babae, lalo na kay Lucky. May paraan na, pero hindi inasahan ni Lucky na mahihirapan siyang kumbinsihin ang matalik na kaibigan, kaya naman gumawa ng krimen si Lucky isang gabi matapos makipagtalik si Genesis sa kanyang flavor of the month; ninakaw niya ang ginamit na condom ni Genesis. Magtatagumpay kaya ang insemation ni Lucky? Ano ang mangyayari sa pagkakaibigan nila ni Genesis dahil sa makasarili niyang desisyon? Mawawasak ba sila o may bagong pag-ibig ang uusbong sa panahong sinubok ang kanilang pagkakaibigan.
