My Husband's Monetary Gifts for His Childhood Sweetheart

Three days after giving birth, my husband leaves me alone at home to care for the baby, saying that he needs to leave on an urgent business trip.

Three days later, I've just arrived at the hospital when I see a family photo his childhood sweetheart has shared on her social media. It's captioned, "This was taken during a trip. We're a happy family of three."

I'm surprised to see my husband grinning in the photo and comment on it with a question mark. He immediately calls me to reprimand me. "Do you know how hard it is for her as a single mother? She doesn't have a man to care for her. All I did was take a photo with her. Do you have to be so petty?"

"You're the best, honey! I love you!" Yvonne instantly responded to the comment.

Elijah and Yvonne's flirtatious interactions stung my eyes. I turned to look at my baby, who was fast asleep in his pram.

I supposed Elijah must have forgotten that he still had a newborn son who was only six days old. After all, he claimed that he was too busy with work to keep me company on the day I gave birth to our son.

Sometime later, I only found out that Elijah was actually busy celebrating Yvonne's three-year-old daughter's birthday.

"Your gallstone is overly big. We can't drag the surgery out any longer. You're advised to get it surgically removed tomorrow."

My doctor analyzed my condition while holding my check-up results.

I was only diagnosed with gallstones during my pregnancy. A few seconds of hesitation later, I finally shot Elijah a text.

"Can you return home tomorrow? I have something urgent I need to talk to you about."

A long time later, Elijah finally texted back, albeit impatiently, "I'm very busy! Stop looking for me just to resolve every little insignificant thing in life! If you
