On my wedding day, I witnessed my fiancé and my sister making out in the bridal car.
The shock sent me to the hospital, nearly causing a miscarriage. Meanwhile, my fiancé turned around and married my sister instead.
Alone and heartbroken in the hospital bed, I tearfully signed the surgery consent form.
But just as I was being wheeled into the operating room, Zoran frantically blocked the doorway.
Trembling, he embraced me and begged for a chance to take care of me and the baby.
However, during my postpartum recovery period, I overheard a conversation between him and his best friend.
"Since this baby's cord blood is useless, why not keep it? It's still a life after all."
"If I tell Melody the baby survived, how will she agree to have a second one? Where else can I find another source of cord blood?"
"There's a breakthrough drug for Estrella's condition. Cord blood isn't the only option..."
Zoran replied with a pained voice, "The side effects of that drug are too severe. I promised Estrella I'd never let her be a test subject again!"

Wedding Day Deception

"Melody! Estrella was worried about you and your loss of a child, so she came to check on you. Why did you hit her?"


After saying this, he hastily helped Estrella put on her clothes and drove her to the hospital in the middle of the night.


I stood up, fighting through the pain in my lower abdomen, and took out the nearly dead voice recorder from under my pillow along with the divorce papers, placing them on the bedside table.


I threw my cherished diary and all the mementos of my youthful feelings for Zoran into the fire pit.


Zoran, what I thought was a mutual journey turned out to be a misplaced love.


I took out my phone, which was about to die, and dialed Quint's number.


"Everything's been taken care of. Send a car to pick me up."


Quint arrived quickly. When he saw me lying pale-faced on the ground, he gasped in shock.


He scooped me up in his arms and gently placed me in the ambulance.


"Melody, I suddenly have an emergency surgery today. You should take a cab to the hospital for the IVF procedure."


"I didn't mean to kick you. After all, Estrella is frail, and if something happened to her at our place, I couldn't explain it to my mother-in-law."


"No need to explain. I understand everything."This is his first time actively suggesting to take me for a medical check-up, but it turns out it's for another woman to have me do IVF.


Before Zoran could respond, Quint snatched the phone and hung up.


"Your uterus is already so badly damaged, and he still wants you to do IVF?"


To save time, Zoran didn't even look at my medical records before putting on his surgical gown and entering the operating room.


In the operating room, a high pile of non-woven fabric covered my face.


Zoran sat on a stool, and when he saw my uterus with the probe in his hand, he sharply inhaled.


"Deputy Dean Carlisle, why did this patient only come for surgery now? With the uterine cavity eroded to this extent, she must be in excruciating pain every day. Her husband is incredibly irresponsible!"


Quint sneered, "Her husband still wants to take her for IVF tomorrow."


A flicker of unease passed through Zoran's eyes. Just as he was about to stand up to look at my face, Quint stopped him.


"Fortunately, this patient finally came to her senses and divorced that scumbag husband of hers."


Hearing this, the seed of doubt in Zoran's mind was suppressed.


I lay there with my eyes open, feeling the sharp scalpel cut through my skin to remove my uterus.Tears silently fell as I thought of my little child pleading with Zoran for help, and his cold demeanor. My heart clenched in pain.


Zoran, you killed my child with your own hands. Now I'll make you destroy your own hope with your own hands.


"Dr. Harrington, your phone keeps ringing. The contact has a heart emoji. Is it your darling calling about something urgent?"


The nurse called through the door just as the surgery ended.


When Zoran heard about the heart emoji, his hand visibly trembled as he was suturing.
