In the late stages of pregnancy, I was bringing lunch to my face-blind husband Dashiell when a frenzied grizzly bear attacked, tearing open my abdomen. I was left clinging to life.
My husband, an animal behavior specialist, trembled as he rushed me to the hospital. He donated blood for three straight days to keep me out of danger.
I was in a coma for two weeks, but my mind remained clear. That's when I fully discovered my husband's true nature.
"Dashiell, as instructed the boy has been switched. Should we send him to the orphanage? Do we really have to..."
"Stick to the original plan. Under cover of darkness, dump him in the wild animal area. A little snack for Grizzly."
"Calm Ember down. Say it's my fault for not being careful, which caused her premature labor..."
"Also, increase the dosage of my darling's medication. We can't risk her regaining her memories..."
Motionless in my coma, silent tears streamed down my face as my heart shattered.
The marriage I thought was blissful turned out to be nothing but agonizing pain and cold calculation.
I will carry this hatred, expose the lies, and flee far away.

Pregnant Woman Attacked By Grizzly While Bringing Lunch to Husband

"Don't worry, sleep for the night and we'll go home tomorrow."


"Daisy is waiting for mom to come back home too."


My parents held my hand, and I fell asleep peacefully.


Meanwhile, having not heard from me for two days, Dashiell was getting anxious and wanted to go back to the basement to check.


Ember wrapped her arms around his neck and cooed, "Honey, we didn't tie her up tightly. We just wanted to scare her a little. She must have run away already. Sis is so rude, she didn't even tell us she left. She's probably been corrupted and gone out to fool around with men."


Hearing this, Dashiell's expression soured. "Impossible. My darling only loves me."


He tried to push the woman away, intending to rush out the door.


Their child at home started wailing loudly.


He had no choice but to turn back and take the child to the hospital, leaving their daughter at home.
