You made her swim after she had a miscarriage? How could you not know?" "A miscarriage... When did she get pregnant? Why didn't she tell me?" Antonio's voice was rough, filled with regret.
'Are you blind? Can't you see how sick she's been? Or are you too busy ogling Wendy?" Janessa was seething with anger.
If we weren't in a hospital, she might have slapped Antonio.
"I didn't know..." Antonio's voice was weak.
"You gave the house to Wendy and bought her a car, but you didn't know about that? How do you think she miscarried? It's your fault!" Janessa snapped "I..." Antowas lost for words.
"Stop it. I can't stand to look at you. Get out," I said.
The ward fell silent, and I slowly opened my eyes.
Janessa sat by me, her face worried as she touched my head. "Are you awake" How are you feeling?" I looked at her. tears filling my eyes. "Did you know everything?" Janessa tapped my forehead, shaking her head in disappointment.
"You should have listened to me. You shouldn't have married him. It's too late now." Reflecting on the past made my heart hurt.

He said his mom, Judith Cobb, was out of line and promised to make up for the dowry.
But that never happened.

"I knew about the dowry. My mom asked me.

I was sleeping in the guest room, but I could hear every move they made in the living room.
Wendy helped Antonio, who was covered in his own vomit, onto the couch, and then she made to leave.
Antoclutched her waist, not ready to let go.
I've got regrets," he mumbled. "Why'd I rush into marrying her?" Wendy glanced my way from the bedroom, a smirk on her face "So, if you did divorce, who'd you be with?" she asked. grinning.
"You obviously. If I divorced, I'd marry you right away Baby, will you spend the night with me?" pleaded Antonio. That night, Wendy didn't stay.
I figured she was tired of dealing with his mess. That was why she dumped him back on me.
Looking back, I didn't rush to the living room and confront Wendy because I was disappointed with Antonio.
