I wanted to say something, but Laura didn't give me the chance. She slammed the door shut and left.
I still worried about her. She went out alone at night. What if something dangerous happened?
After a while, I put on my clothes and followed closely behind her, only to see Laura and the man I had seen during the day hugging each other and entering a hotel.
In the scorching hot summer, I felt like I was in an icehouse.
Trembling, I called Laura, but it took her a long time to answer.
She sounded out of breath.
"You're so annoying. Can we just take a break and calm down?"
If I was furious when I found out about her affair before, now I felt like I'd lost all my emotions.
"Where are you?"
"I'm at my best friend's place. Okay, she's going to sleep now, so stop calling."
Then the call was hung up.
I looked at the brightly lit hotel building, feeling like my legs were as heavy as a thousand pounds.
I didn't even know how I managed to drag my heavy body back home.
My phone rang again right after I lay in bed.
"Are you Laura Parker's husband? She had an accident and is in the hospital. We need her family member to sign the paper."
An accident?
I didn't care about anything else and hurried to the hospital.
When I arrived at the hospital, I saw that man pacing back and forth with a pale face.
When he saw me, he seemed to understand instantly.
"Are you Laura's husband? Could it be..."
I didn't bother to pay attention to him and hurriedly asked the doctor what had happened.
The doctor glanced at me and said it was a ruptured corpus luteum and surgery was needed.
Thinking back to when Laura and that man entered the hotel, I understood everything.
It was really funny. Now everyone knew that I'd been cuckolded, and I had to come to sign for Laura's surgery.
During the surgery, my father-in-law Oliver and mother-in-law Paige also rushed over.
Paige found out that it was a ruptured corpus luteum. Before I could explain, she slapped me hard.
The crisp sound of the slap made everyone passing by turn to look at me.
"I entrusted Laura to you. Is this how you treat her? I thought you were honest, but I didn't expect you to be so unkind to her!"
I was innocent.
I didn't do it, but I was being blamed for it.
With so many people around, I wanted to save Paige's face. I took a deep breath and whispered to her to wait until Laura woke up before talking about it.
