The two started shouting at each other. Lying on the gurney, I found that my heart was already too numb from pain. Maxwell, we'd been married for seven years. Couldn't we just part peacefully? Did I have to lose our child and my life too? Suddenly, his shadow loomed over me. He strode forward and said, "Alright, since none of you believe me, let's find out whether the knife pierced her stomach or a fake blood pack!" He gave me a mocking smile. "Natalie, I gave you plenty of chances. You're the one who threw them away." With that, he reached out, gripped the knife handle, and prepared to pull it out.
