“Ms. Wilkin, the examination results show that you have a naturally thin uterine wall, and the fetal is unstable. You need to be extra careful in your diet and exercise. Here’s the
prescription, go and get the medicine,” the doctor advised while handing over a prescription
card.
slowly.
“Okay. Thank you, doctor.” Lenora Wilkin took the card and stood up sl
The doctor added a word of caution, “Be careful, and don’t take this lightly! A thin uterine wall increases the risk of miscarriage. Many women can’t conceive again after experiencing
one.
“Thank you, doctor. I will be careful.” Lenora nodded with a smile.
After three years of marriage, no one was more eager than her for the arrival of this child. She would do everything to protect him.
After picking up the medicine, Lenora stepped out of the outpatient building and returned to her car.
The driver started the car, glancing at her through the rearview mirror. “Mrs. Fuller, Mr. Fuller’s flight will arrive at three in the afternoon. There are still twenty minutes left. Should we go directly to the airport?”
“Sure.”
The thought of seeing him in just twenty minutes brought a sweet smile to Lenora’s face. She felt a sense of anticipation bubbling up from within.
Zachary Fuller had been on a business trip for almost a month, and she missed him dearly.
On the way, she couldn’t help but take out the pregnancy test report from her bag and look at it a few more times, gently placing her hand on her lower abdomen.
She was pregnant with Zachary’s baby who would be born eight months later.
She wanted to share this good news with Zachary immediately.
Upon reaching the airport, the driver parked the car in a conspicuous spot. “Mrs. Fuller, why don’t you call Mr. Fuller?”
Checking the time, Lenora estimated that Zachary had already disembarked. She dialed his number, but the call couldn’t connect.
“It seems the plane is delayed, so let’s wait a bit, Lenora said.

After a while, Zachary was still nowhere to be seen.
Lenora tried to make another call, but it still couldn’t get through.
“Let’s wait a bit longer.
Flight delays were a common occurrence, sometimes even lasting for an hour or two.
Two hours later, Lenora dialed Zachary’s number again, and finally, it wasn’t the cold automated message. The call was quickly answered. “Zack, have you landed?”

There was a pause on the other end, followed by a female voice, “Sorry, Zack went to the restroom. He’ll call you back in a moment.”
Before Lenora could speak, the call had already been ended.
Staring at the screen, Lenora felt a moment of confusion.
She remembered that Zachary hadn’t brought a female secretary on this business trip.
Lenora stared at her phone screen, waiting for Zachary to call her back.
Soon, ten minutes had passed, but Zachary didn’t return her call.
Unable to wait any longer, Lenora dialed Zachary’s number again.
After a long wait, just as the call was about to be automatically disconnected, the phone was answered. Zachary’s familiar voice came through, sounding deep and magnetic. “Hello,
Lenora?”
“Zack, where are you? The driver and I are at the parking lot in Section D of the terminal. Come directly over,” Lenora told him.
“Sorry, I forgot to turn on my phone after getting off the plane. I’ve already left the airport,” Zachary apologized after a pause.
Lenora’s smile instantly disappeared..
“So, should I wait for you at home?” Lenora bit her lip. “I have something to tell you.”
“Sure, I have something to discuss with you too.”
“I’ll have Miranda prepare your favorite for dinner-

As she was about to hang up, the voice of the woman from earlier came through. “Zack, I’m sorry. I forgot to mention earlier that Lenora called you just now…”
Lenora’s heart sank as she frowned. However, the call ended before she could ask Zachary who this woman was.
Looking at the phone screen, Lenora pursed her lips and said to the driver, “Let’s go home.”
Piecing together bits of information, the driver figured out what happened and drove away from the airport.
At dinner, Lenora had little appetite, but for the sake of the child in her belly, she forced herself to eat some food.
The TV was on in the living room.
Hugging a pillow, she sat on the couch, frequently glancing at the time on her watch. She had no interest in what was playing on the TV.
It was already ten o’clock at night.
Yawning. Lenora drifted off to sleep without even realizing it.
In a semi–conscious state, she suddenly felt her body becoming light, as if someone had. picked her up.
In a slightly dazed state, she seemed to catch a familiar scent mingled with a faint smell of alcohol. She muttered, “Zack?”
