"Of course, it's true. Don't you believe me? Ask the nurse," Christine said.

The nurse, who had cin with her, chuckled helplessly. "Don't just worry about the baby. You hit your head, and though we've bandaged the cut on your forehead, we haven't done a CT scan because of the pregnancy. How do you feel now? Any severe dizziness?" "I'm okay." I nodded, feeling only slightly woozy "That's good. Once you finish with the IV, you can go hto rest. Just cback to the hospital if you feel unwell." While patting my shoulder reassuringly, the nurse added, “Just take care of yourself. That's the best way to look after your baby." With that, she left.

When hearing that, my tense nerves finally relaxed, and I hugged Christine, my whimpers low, crying out all my grievances and frustrations.

Eventually, as my emotions steadied, Christine let go of me, pulled a chair, and sat beside.

She looked visibly shaken. “You scared the hell out of me, you know? Weren't you supposed to take Bryant to the cemetery today? Why were you alone in the car? Where's Bryant? If the hospital hadn't called your emergency contact while I was on the phone with you. you'd be here all alone, and nobody would have known if something happened! I saw the dashcam footage.

It had been seven years. Seven years of genuine affection wasted on m someone who never showed the stightest concern, not even once. It was laughable how I envied Margaret every tBryant lost his temper with her. It was just too pitiful.

And I know, deep down, he would get stirred by Margaret all the time. If Comet didn't cto my senses today, he would eventually. So, why demean myself any further?

Christine suddenly raised an eyebrow. "Talk about a silver lining. A car accident knocked. ssense into you. I should've gotten you into one sooner." "What about the baby? Does he know about the baby?" Christine began to ponder the logistics of the divorce.

"He doesn't know." A bitter smile played on my lips as I replied, "I was planning to tell him today."
