Divorce After Having a Child

In the middle of the night, the heat rose from the underground. Coupled with the wet machine at the head of the bed, the tempered glass was covered with a thin layer of steam.

I tossed and turned in bed and went to the toilet three times in a row.

Javion had to go to work tomorrow. I felt bad enough to wake him up in the evening to buy pizza for me.

On the way to the bathroom, no matter how much my stomach hurt, I tried to be walk as lightly as possible to avoid waking him up.

The third time, I put on my pants with trembling hands. At the sight of my pale face in the mirror, I felt so sad that I cried.

Hearing me crying, he ran to the bathroom in a hurry, picked up my face, and gently wiped away my tears with his fingers. He looked distressed.

"What's wrong, baby?"

"My stomach hurts. I think I have diarrhea."

"I told you that the pizza there is sordid. Don't eat it in the future."

I leaned against his shoulder in pain, my forehead covered in sweat.

I worked at the pizza shop during the summer vacation when I was in high school. I frequently bought pizza from there since my childhood.

The boss was a conscientious person from Acoby. He had never gone wrong in terms of ingredients. In order to keep the kitchen clean, he asked me to clean the tables dozens of times every day.

I grabbed Javion's arm, saying gently and weakly, "Javion, is there any antidiarrheal medication at home? Give me a pack."

Instead of agreeing to all my requests like before, Javion held my hand tightly and said, "It's not that I don't want you to take it, but you're pregnant now. Some medicine can't be taken."

"But... but if it continues to drag on, I will really die!"

"I'll help you lie down on the bed. You'll be fine after drinking some water."

"Is the child more important than me?"

I opened my mouth slightly, and my eyelashes fluttered. Tears fell to the floor, reflecting my pale and sickly face.

Javion did not compromise with me. He looked at me with a hint of impatience.

"I have to go to work tomorrow. Why are you making a fuss? You said you wanted to eat pizza in the middle of the night. I did as you said."

"Before that, I told you countless times that those food outside were sordid, and you insisted."

"You suffer now and are irresponsible to yourself and your child. I don't know what to do with you."

"You're not responsible for yourself. What does it have to do with me? Why are you dragging me down?"

I was helpless and disappointed.

This was the first time I had seen Javion so impatient. It was as if he had been suppressing it for a long time and could not hold back any longer.

When Javion calmed down and saw I cry, his tone softened.

"Bella, I'm a doctor of medicine who returned from studying abroad in Yhido. I cured auntie's illness myself. Don't you believe me?"

I shook my head and said, "I'm not doubting you. I just feel uncomfortable now."

Javion picked me up horizontally and gently placed me on the bed as if I were a treasure.

Then, he turned around and went to the kitchen to get me a cup of warm water. He rubbed his hands on my bulging belly.

After being woken up, the baby kept kicking back and forth in my stomach.

Javion looked so gentle. It could be seen that he loved the baby very much.

"Bella, look, the baby is kicking me."

My mind was in a mess. I kept wondering if the poster was Javion.

There would not be so many coincidences in this world.

I wondered starting from when the stranger added me on Whatsapp, but he/she seemed to be hinting at me in every way.

Seeing that I ignored him, Javion thought that I was angry.

Bending down, he was about to kiss me on the forehead to comfort me.

Subconsciously, I turned my head away and dodged.

An odd look flashed through Javion's eyes. Fortunately, he found a reason for me.

"I'm sorry, honey. You must be tired in the middle of the night. It's all my fault. Go to sleep."
