After My Husband Chose His Mistress Over Our Dying Baby

In the afternoon, I finally got a video call from Meir.

I quickly changed my clothes and sat by the window.

"Joelle, during my business trip, I came across these accessories. Let me know if you like any of them."

On the screen, there was a local vendor in the Swiss Alps displaying some traditional jewelry.

"I like that little charm."

"When the baby arrives, I'll give it to them."

This charm will eventually become the instrument to pierce Meir’s deceitful heart.

"Okay."

He paid for it immediately, then switched the camera back to himself.

His face was full of tenderness on the other side of the call.

"I've been tied up lately. Take care of yourself and the baby. I'll return when you're close to the due date."

"Mm."

I answered softly.

"Meir, do you miss me?"

"Of course I do. I miss your cooking, and I want to hold you as we sleep. I'll be back soon."

He replied cheerfully, without the faintest hint of his infidelity.

"I have to get back to work now. I'll call you when I have some free time."

"Alright..."

As I watched the call end, it felt like a piece of my heart was missing.

Lucille's Instagram had a new update.

"This charm looks beautiful. He said it's for our future child."

The charm in the picture was identical to the one I had just picked.

She's deliberately taunting me.

I remember I was the one who introduced Lucille to Meir as his assistant. Her family was struggling financially, and she had just graduated. When she came for an interview, I happened to meet her. Seeing her situation, I helped her land a position through Meir.

Little did I know I was inviting a wolf into my home.
