Chapter 8 + 5 Points Chapter 8 I remember that day vividly .
I stood there , trembling , holding the test results in my hand .
Congratulations , youre pregnant , the doctor had said , her voice detached and routine , yet it felt like a pebble tossed into my heart , sending ripples of joy and disbelief throughout me .
I covered my mouth , struggling to contain my excitement .
I was over the moon , and the first thing I wanted to do was tell Steve .
I couldnt wait to see the look of joy on his face .
But when I sent him the news , the response that came was like a bucket of ice water , Chapter 8 + 5 Points dousing all my excitement in an instant .
Get rid of it .
I dont like kids .
And now that Eve is back , I dont want you or the baby standing in our way .
I had rushed back that day , intending to talk to him in person .
I was willing to divorce him , but I wasnt willing to give up on our baby .
But on the drive home , I received a call from an unknown number .
Hesitant , I answered .
Ah … Steve … be gentle … hmm … Evelyns breathy , moaning voice came through the speaker , calling out Steves name .
In that moment , it felt like an invisible hand 18 Chapter 8 5 Points had wrapped around my heart , squeezing it until I couldnt breathe .
I couldnt believe it .
With shaking hands , I dialed Steves number , desperate to hear the truth .
Just as I did , a large truck appeared out of nowhere , right in front of my car .
I swerved but couldnt avoid it in time .
The car spun out of control and crashed hard into the guardrail .
The impact threw me from the car , slamming me to the ground .
The pain was excruciating -like every bone in my body had shattered .
Through my broken voice , I called Steve , begging for help .
But he ignored me .
18 Chapter 8 5 Points And thats how I , and our baby , died .
I lost consciousness soon after .
Even through death , the pain lingered , a sharp reminder of the betrayal .
My soul was engulfed in torment as cold sweat drenched me .
I knew , with every fiber of my being , that I now hated Steve .
At that moment , Steve , who was doing prenatal exercises with Evelyn , seemed to sense something .
His hand reflexively went to his chest , where a strange unease had settled in .
Just then , his phone rang , breaking the moment .
He answered , and a cold , detached voice spoke from the other end .
Is this Mr.
Steve ? Your wife was in a serious car 8 Chapter 8 + 5 Points accident two weeks ago .
Her body is still at the city hospital .
Please come identify the remains I had imagined Steves reaction to my death countless times .
I thought hed be happy , relieved that the biggest obstacle between him and Evelyn was gone .
I had also imagined hed be sad , at least a little after all , we had been married for years , and once , we had loved each other deeply .
But I never expected him to remain expressionless .
The officers voice came again , Mr.
Steve , your wife was in a serious accident two weeks ago .
Her body is still at the city E8 hospital , Please come identify her remains Steve stood frozen for several seconds before his face hardened , Stop talking nonsenser The officers tone was somber and unwavering .
Two weeks ago , the hospital staff tried calling you , but you hung up on them .
They made several more attempts , but you refused to engage .
Now , theyve asked for police assistance With every word , Steves face grew paler His hand , clutching the phone , turned white at the knuckles , Even his lips began to tremble Suddenly , he shoved Evelyn away , standing unsteadily as he bolted from the house , not even bothering to put on shoes , barefoot as he ran out the door Chapter 8 + 5 Points I watched his frantic retreat , my emotions a tangled mess .
It wasnt until he stood at the hospital morgues entrance that he seemed to regain a shred of composure .
He took a deep breath and introduced himself to the staff , explaining his presence .
The staff member gave him a hard , indifferent look before stepping aside , allowing him entry .
Inside , Steve finally saw my body .
My face was covered by a white sheet , only a pair of lifeless , pale hands visible underneath .
Nearby , I overheard the hushed conversations of the staff .
7/8 The truck ran her over .
There wasnt a single part of her body left intact .
By the time she got here , she was already gone .
They say she was pregnant , too .
The truck went right over her abdomen … its such a tragedy I heard a nurse called her husband that day .
He hung up on her without a word , and there was another womans voice in the background .
As their words sank in , Steve crumbled , clutching his chest as he collapsed to the ground in agony .
