Seven Years of Marriage with Jake novel Chapter 58

Chapter 2

In my past life, I trusted him too much.

Our son, Cody, was hospitalized with kidney inflammation at the best hospital in the city.

What I didn't know was that the doctor Lucas found for him, Nancy, was his first lover from years ago.

Kidney inflammation wasn't usually fatal.

But the night I left the hospital, Cody's condition suddenly worsened, and he ended up in the ER.

By the time I rushed back to the hospital, Nancy announced that Cody's organs had failed.

Before I could even process the shock, Lucas was already dragging me to sign the organ donation forms.

"Cody was always so kind," Lucas said. "Now his life can save others. I know he'd want that."

I was crying so hard, I could barely breathe.

Half forcing, half coaxing, Lucas made me sign my name on that agreement.

What I didn't know was that as soon as they took Cody off life support,his heart was rushed to Nancy's daughter, who had been born with a heart defect.

For months, I couldn't recover from the pain of losing my son.

Meanwhile, Lucas quickly got back to his normal life.

One day, by chance, I spotted Lucas at an amusement park in a neighboring city.

A little girl I didn't recognize was sitting on his shoulders, and Nancy was cozied up next to him, arm in arm.

I followed them, demanding answers, but they pushed me off a building instead.
