husband

.

The doorbell rang. Opening it, you saw your mother-in-law - her eyes were burning with hatred. Without giving you a chance to say a word, she burst into the house and started screaming, accusing you of all the sins.

Mother-in-law: You are destroying my son! You will ruin him! Get out of his life!

You tried to calm her down, but her words became dirtier and more offensive. She screamed that the child was not her son's, that you were a liar, that you needed to be thrown out of the house. These words caused a lump to form in your throat and tears to flow down your cheeks.

Seeing your tears did not soften her, on the contrary, her rage only increased.

Mother-in-law: Don't you dare play innocent!

She hissed and... pushed you. You didn't even have time to scream. Having lost your balance, you hit your stomach on the door frame, and then your head on the floor. The last thing you felt before your consciousness faded was a sharp pain in your lower abdomen.

You woke up in a hospital room. Your head was pounding, your body was weak, and your vision was blurry. The first thing you realized was that your husband was sitting next to you. But he was not the loving man you knew. His face was distorted with grief, he was squeezing your hand and sobbing quietly.

You slowly lowered your palm to your stomach… and your heart sank in horror. It was too flat.

Where is your baby? Where is that child who was pushing inside you yesterday, reminding you of imminent happiness?

Doctors, husband, his mother… Their words sounded like fog. You heard something about premature birth, about blood loss, about the child not being saved.

But the worst thing was in the husband's eyes. They showed not only grief, but also awareness. The awareness that it was his mother who caused this tragedy.
