In the Name of Love: A Tenderness That Eats Away at the Bones

My husband took our son and me to an amusement park, where we were in a car accident.

Our son died at the scene. I was dragged for dozens of meters, and when I came to, my lower leg had been amputated.

My husband unexpectedly lost his memory, forgetting everything he had ever felt for me. Then he turned around and married his childhood sweetheart, Ruan Ying.

Just as I was about to jump off a building and end my life, Shen Zhouyuan, my orthopedic surgeon, took the initiative to confess his love for me and promise to spend his life by my side.

Four years later, after I found out I was pregnant with Shen Zhouyuan's child, I overheard him talking to a friend.

“Zhouyuan, back then, you secretly took Xu Yunyan's son's heart and used it for a transplant for Ruan Ying's daughter. Did you ever think about what you'd do if the truth came out?”

“You even cut off her lower leg to repair Ruan Ying's bone. That was so cruel to her.”

Shen Zhouyuan looked into the distance, a smile playing on his lips.

“For Ruanruan, I'd do anything. I'm already making it up to her for the heart and her leg. I'll treat her well for the rest of her life. That should make up for what I owe her.”

I stood outside the door, my heart skipping a beat, tears streaming down my face.

So it had all been a carefully planned deception.

The only person he had ever loved was Ruan Ying.

I quietly clenched the pregnancy test, threw it in the trash, and scheduled an abortion.

I lost the bet, so I'll give him his freedom.
