chapter 2
After the check-up, I carried Aurora back to the ward. Not long after, Calvin and Vivian came in with dinner.
Calvin said, "Evie, I made this especially for you. Try it."
As soon as the insulated container was opened, the rich aroma of food filled the entire ward.
He handed me a spoon and said with a smile, "If you like it, I'll make it for you every day. Don't feel shy, my salary card is in your hands, buy whatever you want."
He looked at me dotingly, full of care and affection.
The other mothers in the ward saw this and looked over with envy.
"Such considerate men are rare nowadays, earning money and taking care of the family."
"You're really lucky to have such a husband. Life must be comfortable. Just focus on taking care of the baby at home."
"When I ask my husband to buy something, he always complains a bit."
I glanced at Calvin; his gaze was gentle, like a flawless model husband.
But in my past life, it was this affectionate look of his that deceived everyone.
I let out a cold laugh and slammed the spoon down.
I said, "You're all talk. This meal was still bought with my money."
"You say the salary card is mine, but you interrogate every expense like I'm a criminal, even questioning when I spend two dollars."
"And every time your mom makes things hard for me, all you do is tell me to endure it. You've never truly cared about me."
Now everyone's suspicious eyes all turned to Calvin.
He clearly didn't expect me to explode in public, staring at me in shock and pretending, "What are you talking about?"
At this moment, Nurse Amber Martin walked into the ward, holding a few test reports in her hand.
Calvin breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went up. "Give it to me, let me see the test results."
Vivian squeezed in to look as well, but I was subtly excluded by them.
Watching their eager expressions, my heart suddenly sank, and a sense of foreboding quietly arose.
The next second, Calvin's eyes widened. "Why is Aurora's blood type AB? That's impossible!"
Vivian screamed, "Calvin is type O blood, how could he have a daughter with AB blood type?"
She suddenly turned to me, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Evie, what did you do? Aurora isn't even our child!"
The doctor heard the commotion and pushed the door open, frowning as he scolded, "Family member, please don't make a scene in public."
Vivian became even more agitated when she saw him, grabbing his clothes and crying, "Doctor, you have to judge this for us."
"The child's mother is type A blood, the father is type O, but the test shows the child is AB! How is that possible?"
The doctor frowned. "Generally, parents with type A and type O blood usually won't have a child with AB blood type. However..."
Vivian slapped her thigh and interrupted loudly, "I knew it, Evie must have cheated!"
Calvin was still acting, looking dejected. "No way, Mom. I trust Evie, the child must have been switched!"
Amber chimed in at the right moment, "Impossible, our hospital's procedures are very strict. The baby was given a wristband at birth, we wouldn't make such a mistake!"
The three of them exchanged words, and within a few sentences, they convicted me.
Vivian glared at me fiercely and suddenly burst into tears, "How did my son marry such an unprincipled woman? She not only cheated but also had a child. Truly shameless!"
The hospital room was filled with sighs.
Calvin questioned me with a grim face, "Evie, what did I do wrong for you to cheat and betray me?"
