At my hospital bedside , he hid behind my husband Marcus Bennet , his face stern and refusing to apologize . He said , " Grandma told me that if you have the baby sister , you won't divorce Dad . I don't want you to be my mom anymore . I like Sienna Welch better ! " Marcus added coldly , " We can have other children . As for Sienna , she's indeed better suited to raise Aaron than you are . " I was completely heartbroken . The day after my discharge , I went home and packed up all my belongings , leaving only a divorce agreement and a document severing our mother - son relationship . ***** On my third day in the hospital , I stared silently at the gray - white ceiling . My once - rounded belly had become flat again . The daughter I had anticipated for six months would never be born . 1/4 12:48 Chapter 1 +2 Bonus It turns out that when your heart breaks beyond its limit , it feels like suffocation . Warm tears slid from the corners of my eyes , dampening my hair . I turned to look at the pregnant woman in the bed next to mine . She was so happy - from her admission to her baby's birth , her family had been there caring for her . Yet during my three - day stay , my husband and child had visited only once , leaving in a hurry . Because they had to rush off to see Sienna's theater debut . My phone buzzed with a message from Sienna , including a video . The video was shot at a restaurant near a theater . Sienna still wore her elaborate stage makeup , and sitting beside her , looking down as he cut her steak , was my handsome husband Marcus . In our six years of marriage , he had never been so attentive to me . On my birthday , I had gotten nail extensions and wanted him to help me peel shrimp . 2/4 12:48 Chapter 1 13 +2 Bonus Instead , he called in the nail technician who had already gone home and had my extensions removed on the spot . Marcus said , " Aubrey , given my status , do you think it's appropriate for me to peel shrimp for you ? You're a mother now -why are you still being so dramatic ? " So as my husband , he wouldn't even do such a small thing for me . Yet now , he was happy to cut steak for Sienna . All his excuses were simply because he looked down on me . My heart had long since grown numb , but the video continued playing . Sienna smiled sweetly at the camera as she ate the steak Marcus fed her , then lifted her perfectly manicured finger to fork a piece of broccoli and offer it to Aaron . She said , " Aaron , you need to eat your vegetables to grow tall . " Broccoli was Aaron's most hated vegetable . In the past , if I accidentally mixed even a small piece of broccoli into his plate , he would throw a tantrum and cry heartbrokenly . Finally , I had to promise never to make him broccoli again 3/4 1 12:48 Chapter 1 before he would speak to me . +3 +2 Bonus But now , Aaron was smiling as he eagerly ate the broccoli Sienna offered him . One piece after another , he cleaned the entire plate . His bright eyes were full of dependence and joy . Looking at the camera , he said , " I love Ms. Welch the most ! " Sienna asked smugly , " Don't you like your mommy then ? " Upon hearing this , Aaron's face immediately showed disgust . He said viciously , " I hate her ! All she does is force me to learn piano and painting , and make me study ! " The son I had given birth to with such difficulty was now freely badmouthing me in front of strangers . And his father - my husband - sat there listening quietly , unmoved , his attention focused entirely on Sienna . I finally understood . I had foolishly hoped to receive love from such a father and son . From now on , I wanted nothing more to do with such cold - hearted family members !
