THE ABANDONED WIFE
“Please don’t tell Dad. Not yet. I just… I can’t face his disappointment. Not now. I don’t want him to know.”
Sarah’s voice was thick with emotion. “He’ll be a grandfather, Megan. He won’t be disappointed. He loves you.”
“I know,” Megan said, though the words felt hollow. “Just… not yet. Please.”
A sigh, long and heavy, came through the line. “Alright, my darling. Your secret is safe with me. For now.”
The conversation then turned to Queen, and Sarah revealed a truth that both comforted and pained Megan. “She calls, you know,” her mother said softly. “From abroad. She asks about you. She doesn’t talk to us about what happened, but she’s been worried.”
