Chapter 127
Tom secretly swore that he would never wrong his wife again, but that resolve lasted only until evening. He leaned back against the sofa and checked his phone. A few photos had come in from someone. His eyes lit up at once.
At the same time, Leona brought over hot water and gently washed his feet.
When she finished, he pretended to massage her back and said, “Honey, some friends want to get together. I’ll just grab a meal and come right back p>
“Mmhmm.” Unsuspecting, Leona nodded. “Don’t stay out too late. Do you have enough money? I’ll transfer you 1,000 dollars. ”
Tom’s heart had already flown out the window. He nodded quickly and hurried out the door.
From that point on, he changed completely.
Even while watching a movie with Leona, if he stepped into the bathroom and spotted an ad taped to the door, he could not resist writing down the number.
These days slipped by without her noticing, stretching into a full year.
Over that year, in corners Leona could not see, he spent more than 30,000 dollars.
Until one day …
“Darling, look at this p>
Leona walked up quietly, holding a small white object in her hand. Excitement colored her voice.
Tom glanced at it and froze. Two red lines stood out with painful clarity.
His voice trembled. “ Is this … real p>
Tears shimmered at the corners of Leona’s eyes as she nodded, radiant with joy.
In the next instant, they clung to each other. Tom felt as if he were floating.
“ Haha! I’m going to be a dad! I’m going to be a dad!” he shouted, releasing everything bottled up inside him.
The following day, they went to the hospital for a checkup.
After Leona went in, Tom sat outside and made a decision. From then on, he would treat her well.
However, that day was destined to turn dark.
Leona sat across from the doctor, hope and anxiety tangled on her face. My baby… will it be healthy? Our first baby… it has to be fine. It’s the fruit of our love p>
The doctor frowned as he studied the blood test report.
“Doctor, my baby p>
Before she could finish, he cut her off in a low voice. “I recommend that you terminate this pregnancy p>
“What? ” Panic surged through her. “Is something wrong with the baby? Can’t we keep it p>
The doctor shook his head, his tone calm and firm. “You have HIV. There is a very high probability that the child will inherit i For that reason, I advise termination. ”
Leona froze. ‘ HIV … that disease? ‘
She stared at the doctor, then down at the report. After a long, moment, she forced a smile that looked worse than tears. “Is this

… a mistake p>
She had been pure and faithful, with only her husband. How could she possibly have HIV?
“There’s no mistake,” the doctor said, shaking his head. “The results are very clear. You can request a retest if you wish p>
He handed her the report.
Her hands trembled as she took it. That thin sheet of paper felt heavier than a thousand pounds.
She did not even remember how she left the office.
When Tom saw Leona step out slowly, he rushed over. “Honey, how did it go p>
The moment she saw him, she understood everything.
Her softness shattered. Her eyes reddened as tears poured out. She flung the report straight at his face and slapped him hard.
Tom covered his cheek, stunned and helpless.
“You knew you had HIV, you bastard! You deserve to die!” Leona screamed, her voice breaking.
Tom stood frozen.
Her eyes held a storm of emotions: disappointment, regret, resentment.
She gave him one final look, then turned and walked away.
Tom stared at her retreating figure as all strength drained from his body. He collapsed to the ground.
After hearing the story, Dominic sneered and summed it up. “You really are a bastard p>
Of course, he liked that kind of bastard. Someone like this would make a very sharp knife.
