My Husband Refused to Save Me Because of His First Love

"Keith? I wanted to ask you too! I used your phone to call him, but it was turned off. I called him with my phone, but he said he was busy. When I called him again, his phone was also turned off! I was wondering if you two were having some conflict? Why did you start blocking each other's phone numbers?" My mother looked at me in confusion.

Hearing my mother say this, my heart felt a pang of bitterness.

Just at this moment my phone rang. When I took it, I saw Keith's name appear on my phone screen.

I immediately swiped the "answer" button. "Hello?! Where are you? Where did you go? The door at home is not even closed and it's in a mess. Are you trying to make things difficult for me?" The man's impatient voice came over.

Listening to his impatient tone, I had completely given up on him. "Aren't you busy celebrating your first love's birthday? How could you bear to come back? Why don't you just spend some time with Clara, so that you don't tell others that I'm pretending to be sick to trick you."

I feel sick when I think about how Keith accused me of pretending to be sick to deceive him in front of others. No wonder his colleagues were either sarcastic or rolled their eyes at me every time I went to visit him in the company.

I thought it was my own illusion at first, but then their actions were too obvious and I did not want to cause trouble for him, so I endured it. Unexpectedly, the culprit turned out to be Keith, who said he would love me for a lifetime.

"What are you getting angry about again? I'm just celebrating someone else's birthday. With so many people around, why do you doubt me? I said, can you please stop being unreasonable? You're jealous every day and it never ends! It's not enough that you call me yourself, you also want your mother to call me and bombard me with messages. I've had enough of you!" His voice was mixed with anger.

I almost laughed at his words. "If that's the case, you've blocked me and my mom's phone numbers and you hate me so much, then why are you still calling me?"

My mother could not bear it anymore and snatched the phone from my hand. "I said Keith, you're really being unreasonable. Your wife is hospitalized and you still have to argue with her. Do you have any conscience or not? I called you and you blocked me too. I don't even know what's in your mind. Come to the hospital right now!"

After giving the address, she hung up the phone and stared at me. "What's going on between you two? I remember he didn't treat you like this before!"

I gave a bitter smile and told her everything that happened last night. The more she listened, the darker her face became.

"What an asshole! We still believed he would treat you well, but we didn't expect that he was just pretending!" she said angrily, "Fortunately your dad didn't invest in him! I remember that after marrying you, he often came to your dad to discuss investment matters."

Not long after, Keith came over, along with his good friend, William.

As soon as he saw me lying on the hospital bed, he did not have a good expression either. "Anna, can you please stop pretending? Now you are lying on the hospital bed. Isn't this a waste of medical resources?"

"Anastasia, you are really a natural talent for acting. It's a pity that you don't become an actress. Keith is right, you really like to pretend!" William said with disdain.

"Stop pretending and go home. What have you done to the house? Go back and clean it up! It's enough!" Keith said as he was about to grab my hand, but my mother slapped him hard.
