And then I would take care of Sara until her death.
I'd rather never marry again.
But I was surprised that Sara would come to the funeral and say that I had cheated on my husband a long time ago.
She said I was acting like I was being noble.
No matter how I denied it, she refused to acknowledge the baby in my belly and humiliated me in public.
It was Bob who cheated on me, but I still wanted to preserved his dignity.
But Sara said I was a sinner.
After the funeral, I had no choice but to return to my parents' home.
But I hadn't seen them in a long time.
What was more, I was pregnant.
My family members just wanted me to get married again as soon as possible.
It was at this time that Elise Duncan proposed to me.
I rejected him at first.
But he said he knew my situation. He said, "I have had a crush on you for many years. I want to give you a home. And the child needs a father when he grows up."
He took me directly to meet his family and friends to show his serious attitude.
I was already homeless.
And he was right about one thing.
Besides myself, I also have to think about my baby.
Therefore, I accepted his proposal.
With his company, I gradually healed my wounds.
It was our wedding day.
Sara, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, came uninvited.
The first thing she did was to make me escape from the marriage.
She was so shameless.
"You have to get married today, right?"
When I came to my senses, all I could hear was her voice.
"You said you love my son. You said I slandered you. But you want to marry someone else."
She raised her eyes and asked with contempt.
"Is this how you prove that you are pregnant with Bob's child?"
My heart ached.
The child was slandered as having unknown origins before he was even born.
I spent many a midnight dream wondering if I was too useless as a mother.
My child was bullied just when it was still in my belly.
"How do you want me to prove it?" I heard myself ask softly.
Sara thought I had given in and looked at me smugly.
"You should be a widow for my son all your life."
...
I was amused by her words.
I reminded her, "In the beginning, you were the one who asked me to leave in front of everyone."
"I was testing you. But you couldn't stand it."
Sara replied confidently, even threatening me.
"If you don't come with me today, it means you have something to hide. I will make you pay for it."
I had been bullied by her for years.
