Whose Child Is My Wife Carrying?

My name was Jed Reed. I returned home after a business trip of more than two months and happened to see my wife at the gynecology department.

I found out that she had an ectopic pregnancy, had a rupture at 6 weeks, and had just undergone surgery a few days ago.

The nurse looked at me sympathetically.

"The time range from pregnancy to surgery is at most between 40 and 45 days, so there can't be any mistake."

I had never come home during my business trip, and my wife stopped working after marrying me. She didn't have any male friends either.

Who was she cheating with?

——

On the way home, I did a good deed by taking a postpartum woman to the hospital, but surprisingly, I saw my wife, Celeste Kain, at the gynecology department.

I called Celeste.

"Celeste, where are you? Didn't you say you would be at home today?"

"You're back?" She sounded a bit flustered on the phone, and then she coquettishly complained, "Why didn't you tell me in advance? Were you trying to check on me?"

The mechanical sound of the hospital's calling machine happened to call out her name.

She hurriedly explained.

"You've always wanted a baby, right? I asked Mom to accompany me to the hospital for a check-up and preparation for pregnancy. It's my turn. Talk to you when I get back. Be good."

Without waiting for me to reply, she hung up in a hurry.

Preparing for pregnancy?

We had been in love since university, and it had been more than five years. Also, we had been married for three years.

No matter how good I was to her, no matter what guarantees I made, she just didn't wanna have a baby with me.

Every time I mentioned it, she always said, "I am so not grown-up. Besides, you don't earn much money. How can we afford to raise a child?"

She had always been cautious about getting pregnant. I wondered which man had such charm to win her favor and catch her off guard.

I sat in the car and scrolled through the chat records with her and the photo album on my phone since the day I met her.

We had known each other for 2,154 days. From the day we met until today, I had changed several phones. I always bought phones with the largest memory and migrated all the records. I had never deleted a single message she sent me.

When I saw the chat we had this morning, I stopped scrolling. She coquettishly told me that if I didn't finish dealing with the client and come back on time, I'd have to buy her a Louis Vuitton bag as compensation.

I was already packing my luggage at that time. I had bought the bag she had been eyeing for a long time and planned to come back half a month in advance to give her a big surprise. I didn't expect that I would be the one who received the "surprise".

I wiped off the tears and sweat from my face and pressed the button to delete the chat history.

After talking to my friend working at the hospital, I obtained all her medical records. I then got out of the car and waited at the corner of the hospital.

After a long time, I finally saw my mother-in-law, Paige Vargas, getting into the car of Celeste's cousin, Rocky Shelton, together with Celeste. The three of them were laughing and talking happily.

The scene was kinda harsh, so I asked my assistant to spend a great sum of money to look into this matter.
