On the drive back, Maya cursed Ethan out completely.
"He looked like such a decent guy! How could he cheat on you with a man? That is so disgusting!"
Logan, her college athlete brother, was also fuming.
"Exactly! What a pathetic excuse for a man! Who hits their pregnant wife?!"
Only then did I realize Logan was Maya’s younger brother, five years younger than her.
I felt terrible that Maya's family had to be dragged into my messy divorce drama on our very first meeting.
"I'm sorry, Logan. You shouldn't have to deal with this trash."
Logan shook his head, still angry.
"My sister’s friend is my sister too!"
"Chloe, my college is right around the corner. If that jerk or his boyfriend ever bothers you again, I'll knock them out in a second!"
My stomach was still hurting, but hearing them defend me warmed my heart.
Maya touched my forehead and then checked my pulse. As a medical PhD, she was acting like a traditional doctor out of panic.
"No, this pregnancy was too hard to get. And that bastard got you too stressed out. We need to go to the hospital right now."
The hospital was nearly empty in the early hours of the morning.
As I sat on the bench waiting, trying to figure out how to get a quick divorce, a familiar figure caught my eye.
Maya had gone to find a doctor she knew, and Logan was yawning next to me.
Seeing me stare, his eyes followed my gaze.
"Chloe, what are you looking at?"
Standing right in front of the dermatology and STD clinic was the same guy I had caught with my husband!
He was looking around nervously, terrified of being recognized.
"Is that the guy?" Logan rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight. "That little punk. Let me go teach him a lesson."
I held the hot-headed college kid back, secretly taking out my phone to snap a photo.
"Wait for Maya. We don't even know what he's here for yet."
Fortunately, after a series of checks, my baby was fine. Maya breathed a sigh of relief, and she and Logan helped me out of the department.
Just as the three of us were about to leave the lobby, a mocking, high-pitched voice came from behind us.
"Oh, looking so precious. Are you carrying some royal heir or something?"
Well, I tried to ignore him, but he just had to parade himself right in front of me.
Looking at the heavily made-up, flashy man, Maya’s grip on my arm tightened.
"Who even are you? Do we know you?"
"Oh, whether you know me..." He slowly paced around us.
"You don't know me, but I happen to know a cheating tramp who is sleeping around behind her husband's back. And she's standing right next to you!"
Ethan must have told him about my pregnancy.
My chest rose and fell with anger. A homewrecker who ruined my marriage had the nerve to stand there and judge me.
But I was pregnant. This baby was precious. I couldn't lose my temper...
"You!" Maya was about to scream at him, but I dragged her back.
"Let's just go. It's not worth it."
Unfortunately, I could only hold back one of them.
"Stop lying through your teeth!" Logan, being hot-headed, couldn't stand hearing the guy insult me.
Before Maya or I could stop him, he lunged forward and landed a solid punch right on Julian’s face.
Julian collapsed to the floor and immediately began to wail.
"Help! Someone help! The lover and the cheating wife are beating people up!"
He cried dramatically, pointing his finger at me.
"This woman cheated on her husband, got pregnant by her lover, and came here for a checkup! Look at her, everyone!"
It was morning now, and the hospital lobby was packed with patients and visitors. His dramatic scene and loud, piercing voice quickly drew a crowd.
"Oh my gosh, how shameless."
"Yeah, that young guy looks so handsome, why is he messing with a married woman?"
"Society is really going downhill!"
