I Stumbled Upon My Husband’s Other Wife and Child
Blurb
My name is Aurora Olson. I donated $100 on a charity platform to a girl with leukemia. My husband, Vincent Watkins, saw the bank message and scolded me for not being frugal.
Two days later, I received a message from the hospital thanking Vincent for donating a kidney to a girl.
My fingers trembled as I dialed Vincent's number. "Did the hospital make a mistake? They said you donated a kidney."
An impatient voice came from the other end of the line. "What nonsense? I just donated blood, the hospital made a mistake. Just delete the message."
I replied softly, "Okay, I understand."
After hanging up, I immediately called the hospital. "Hello, I’m a family member of the donor Vincent Watkins. I’d like to know about his post-surgery recovery and the recipient’s condition."
The nurse on the other end paused for a moment, then said, "Oh, you’re a relative of Mr. Watkins?"
"His physical condition is excellent, and he’s recovering very well."
The nurse's voice was enthusiastic, every word like a knife stabbing into my heart.
I asked with a trembling voice, "And what about the child?"
The nurse said, "Lucia Watkins? Her surgery was very successful, and she’s still under observation in the ICU."
"Thanks to her dad, truly great fatherly love."
"For the child, he's even willing to give a kidney."
I felt the world spinning and could barely stand.
I couldn't believe it and thought, "Fatherly love? Vincent is Lucia's dad?"
I struggled to speak, "Nurse, are you sure Vincent is Lucia's dad?"
The nurse said, "Yes, Lucia's mom said it herself."
"She even showed us the documents, otherwise the hospital ethics review wouldn't have approved it."
"Don't worry, their family is doing well now."
Hearing her words, my vision went dark, and the phone slipped from my hand, falling to the ground.
So, I was the outsider all along.
