Going Where the Wind Takes Me

Childfree by choice for five years, Eve Watson’s husband suddenly adopted a pair of twins. He told her to raise the twins as if they were her own. Not only that, but he even planned to leave them his trillion-dollar fortune as heirs.

Eve thought her husband had simply changed his mind about staying childfree. Hence, believing he now wanted a family of their own, she went to the hospital, preparing to have her IUD removed so she could get pregnant. However, the doctor’s words shattered her world.

As it turns out, she had no uterus. It had been surgically removed five years ago.

“Some women are born without a uterus,” the doctor said calmly. “But that’s not your case, Ms. Watson. Your uterus was surgically removed.”

Eve Watson’s mind went blank. Five years ago, she had only undergone one surgery. That was the procedure to insert an IUD—and her husband, Sean Baker, had accompanied her the entire time.

An IUD insertion did not require general anesthesia. However, Sean had been worried she might feel pain, so he used his status and influence to pressure the hospital into giving her the most expensive full anesthesia available. Could her uterus have been removed during that surgery?

That was impossible. Sean had been waiting outside the operating room the whole time. The hospital would never do such a thing.

Eve was still reeling when a sharp, angry voice suddenly rang out not far away. It was her sister-in-law, Cindy Baker.

“Sean, you’ve gone too far. Bringing those two illegitimate children home was bad enough. Now you want to bring Mandy Smith back as well? Are you planning to carry on the affair right under Eve’s nose?”

“Watch your words, Cindy,” Sean replied coldly, his face dark. “Affair? Mandy and I aren’t like that. She saved my life. I’m just repaying her kindness.”

“Oh, please,” Cindy sneered. “Repaying her kindness by having her give birth to a set of twins? Sean, don’t be such a jerk. Where are your principles?”

“I didn’t want them either,” Sean snapped. “But her father was gravely ill back then. Before he died, his only wish was to see Mandy married and with children. I owed her my life. Giving her a child was the least I could do to repay that debt. I had no choice.”

“No choice?” Cindy’s voice rose. “So that’s why you secretly married Mandy behind Eve’s back? And after the wedding, you tricked Eve into getting an IUD, then took the opportunity to have her uterus removed?”

The words struck Eve like a bolt of lightning. Her vision went dark, and she stumbled, almost collapsing.

So the person who ordered her uterus to be removed… was her own husband?

“Eve has a low pain tolerance,” Sean continued. “Childbirth is too cruel, and I couldn’t bear to put her through that. Besides, when we went for the checkup, the doctor said she had uterine fibroids. If they weren’t removed, her life could’ve been in
