His mother, Layla Zane, came into the hospital room and took my hand. "Demi, you finally decided to have the surgery. After it's done, you two should start trying for a baby right away. I told you, a woman cannot be without children. A hen that doesn't lay eggs can't even be buried in the ancestral grave when it dies."
I was speechless.
Chris quickly explained in a low voice that to reassure his parents, he only told them I was having a fibroid removed.
At this moment, the doctor came in for rounds and said that the hysterectomy could be scheduled for 3 p.m., and gave some postoperative instructions.
Upon hearing this, my in-laws stared at each other, stunned.
Finally, they reacted, with my mother-in-law causing a scene in the hospital room, shouting that the hospital was heartless and that the Braves family would be cut off from descendants.
My father-in-law, Kobe Braves, even grabbed the doctor's collar and threatened to hit him.
I was extremely annoyed and decided to tell them the truth.
Unexpectedly, this only fueled her anger. "Son, if she can't have children, why should you be left without descendants?
"What child-free nonsense! You believe her lies; she probably knew she couldn't have children and dragged you along!"
My father-in-law wailed. "Our Braves family's only heir has been ruined by this woman!"
"Enough!" Chris interrupted his parents, making some excuses about work and hurriedly leaving.
But from the look he gave me, I could still see his doubts and dissatisfaction.
After that day, Chris started staying out all night.
Whenever I called, he was either working late or out socializing.
Even when the nurse urged him to pay the fees, he quickly hung up.
Even though my reactions were somewhat slow, I understood his intentions.
Thinking of his attitude made me extremely angry.
In this new life, I must get a divorce!
But I couldn't let them off easily.
"It's not always fair for women to make sacrifices," the female doctor's voice brought me back to reality.
Facing the doctor's sharp gaze, Chris feigned grievance and looked at me.
In the past, whenever I saw him like this, I would surrender.
So in my previous life, I hurriedly refused the doctor's advice and, after leaving the clinic, tried to placate Chris with a smile.
Looking back now, my love-struck behavior was truly tragic!
In this life, I no longer want to be the foolish one.
