Single Mom Defies Husband

Lina Jenkins had enjoyed a peaceful night at the maternity center, a place known for its tranquility and privacy. The following morning, she received a call from Carson Adams. His voice was sharp and impatient.

"You realize how pricey these private clinics are, right? If there's nothing urgent, just discharge yourself. It's year-end, and I'm buried in work. I can't pick you up; you'll have to take a cab."

At that moment, Lina was comfortably nestled among plush pillows, sipping on a nutritious broth prepared by Zainab Chapman, the nutritionist. Charli Wells, the caregiver, was attentively explaining the details of the postnatal recovery program to her. Lina replied calmly, enjoying the warmth of the setting, "No rush, let’s wait until I’ve completed the postpartum recovery."

Carson's frustration was evident. "You think you can stay in a private clinic for your whole maternity leave? Do you even know how much that costs?!"

With a light laugh, Lina responded, "Two hundred grand. Just charged it to the card; it's still warm if you'd like to see the receipt."

Carson burst out. "You said you were broke when I wanted to upgrade our car! And now you're spending two hundred grand on a maternity center stay?! Are you out of your mind, Lina Jenkins? Refund the money immediately and come home!"
