While I Was Dying, My Husband Was With The Love Of His Life

“The patient must be under intensive care, and should be in a stress free environment. She had just miscarried, and lost a lot of blood because of her injuries. Please take good care of her.”

My heart dropped as I heard the doctor say to my brother as I woke up slowly. “I— I miscarried?”

I huffed for breath when my brother rushed to comfort me. “You—you are awake.”

Breaking down into tears, I hugged him.

The doctor gave a sympathetic look. “Please keep your emotions stable. Your health would be affected otherwise.”

“Don't cry, don't cry, princess.”

“Brother…” I whimpered, tugging him tighter.

I didn't even know that I was pregnant, but I lost the baby. It wasn't here anymore in this world.

My hands instinctively went down my stomach as I tried to hold back my tears.

“Calm yourself down, princess. Don't injure your body… Do you know that I almost died?”

I laughed hearing his words. Yes, I almost died. But my husband, Ash, didn't care about that even a bit. Instead, he thought that I was lying.

“I wish I had come there earlier…”

I shook my head. “This isn't your fault, brother. This isn't your fault. You came as early as you could.”

My heart throbbed. What if I didn't press the emergency button, and alerted him while I called Ash? It should've alerted Ash too, but why didn't he show up? Did he think I was joking, that I was threatening him?

“Then, die. Don't worry, I won't come to your funeral.” This sentence still haunted me. Maybe he truly wanted me dead.

I took a deep breath, and then turned toward my brother. “Brother…”

He titled his head, waiting for me to finish the sentence but I shook my head.

“It's nothing. I want to take a walk alone.”

He looked at me with concern for a few moments but eventually agreed.

As I walked listlessly in the corridor, I heard a playful laughter.

“Look at the couple, the husband is so good. I really want such a husband. He didn't leave his wife's side for a moment after she gave birth!”

My eyes instinctively went in the direction of the ‘couple.’

But as I saw the scene, my lips trembled and my heart sank immediately. Inside there was Ash, and Kate.

Ash was feeding Kate sweetly while she played with her son. It was really a sweet scene, if others didn't know that, the man inside was my husband.

I gritted my teeth and I pushed the door open slightly. I was about to enter when I heard Kate say.

“Ash, can you help me with one matter? I don't know whom to ask for help.”

“I'll always be here for you, Kate. Just tell me what you need help with.”

“I want to divorce, Ash. I… I chose the wrong man. Our relationship hasn't been great, and I don't want my son to suffer because of our relationship.”

“You're going to divorce?!” Ash asked, almost behaving excited to hear this.

I gasped for air, and I immediately closed the door. I didn't have the courage to confront them. Not now, at least.

He could finally chase Kate again. His unrequited love will finally bloom. But what about me? Our marriage?

I rubbed the tears off my face. It didn't matter anymore. To him, his family was always Kate, and not me. There was no place for me, and our unborn baby.

If it wasn't because his parents urged him to marry, and that Kade had chosen someone else, he would never have asked me to marry him.

Now, Kate is divorcing. It was time for this substitute to leave.

Before I went back to my room, I splashed some water on my face. I didn't want to worry my brother.

He had tried to stop me from marrying Ash. He was Ash’s best friend, but he disagreed with my marriage because he knew that Kate was in his heart. At that time, I was foolish to think that I could have a place in his heart, and that he was going to love me.

It was time to let go of him. Now that Kate was divorcing, I'd bless them together. In this life, I don't wish to meet them again.

After calming myself down, I entered my room, gathering courage. I had to say it to him.

“Brother…”
