Chapter 5

Even his hands, clutching the note, trembled uncontrollably, "Felicia! Stop messing around! Come out now. This kind of joke isn't funny at all!"

"I know I broke my promise today, I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you, just don't lie to me..."

But the more he shouted, the weaker his voice grew.Because deep down, he knew better than anyone...

No one would use a child and divorce as a joke.As if remembering something, Troy frantically ran to the bedroom, pulling open the wardrobe to check my belongings. Only a few pieces of clothing were missing.

The wedding ring he had bought me and the ring he gave me just days ago remained neatly placed on the bedside table.Troy collapsed onto the floor and screamed, "No, it can't be! Felicia, you love me so much. How could you bear to leave me?"At that moment, his phone rang. It was a call from a lawyer, "Mr. Angelo, this is from the law firm. A few days ago, we received Ms. Hoffman's request regarding the divorce agreement..."

Troy's mind went blank, unable to process a single word. That night, he clutched the small embryo jar, curled up in the corner of the sofa, crying uncontrollably, "Felicia, this was the child we had after more than ten rounds of IVF. How could you bear to do this?"The next day, holding the embryo jar, he went straight to the hospital to question the doctor, "When was the last time my wife came for a check-up?"

The doctor glanced at him and immediately wore a scornful expression, "Mr. Angelo, your wife went through over ten rounds of IVF for you. If you had even an ounce of humanity, you wouldn't have hurt or betrayed her!"

The doctor continued, "She even came alone to undergo the abortion, without anyone to sign for her! Mr. Angelo, no matter how much money you make, sometimes you need to ask yourself if you have any conscience! If you have questions, don't ask me. I have nothing to say to you!"

Turned away at the hospital, Troy still managed to uncover the truth. He finally realized that I had truly aborted the child.Desperately, he had someone investigate my whereabouts, "Sir, Madam left for the airport early this morning. She's likely already left Houston for good."Learning that I had truly gone, Troy finally panicked.
