I had just finished my prenatal checkup and was leaving the hospital.
I planned to swing by my husband’s office for lunch.
But as I stood outside his office, I heard the seductive voice of a woman.
“You’re still laughing? What if she really comes here to cause trouble?”
The curtains weren’t closed properly.
Through the gap, I saw Selima, holding onto my husband’s arm, acting coy.
My husband didn’t push her away. Instead, he pulled her waist closer.

“I’ll protect you. What’s there to be afraid of?”
“After all, it was me who fed that expired cat treat. I’m worried she’ll…”
Ethan pressed his thumb to her soft lips, cutting her off.
His eyes were filled with desire.
“It’s just an animal. Even if it dies, what can she do to me?”
Ethan affectionately tapped her nose.
“Right now, your mind should be on me..”
Selima leaned in, wrapping her arms around his neck, and kissed him.
I stared in shock, my eyes wide with rage.

Just as I was about to barge in and expose their affair, I suddenly received a call from the veterinary clinic.
The nurse’s voice was urgent–my cat, Jesse, had gone into sudden shock, and I needed to come to the clinic right away.
I looked at the two of them kissing passionately in the office with reluctance.
But I quickly turned and rushed to the clinic.
At the veterinary hospital…
“Jesse… please hold on…”
I stood outside the operating room, watching as its tiny body was hooked up to numerous tubes.

My heart was breaking.
Jesse was a yellow–and–white Garfield cat.
It was the last gift my mother gave me before she passed.
It had been by my side for six years.
Not just a cat, but my family.
Yesterday afternoon, I came back from buying groceries, only to find it lying lifeless on the floor, surrounded by vomit.
I rushed it to the hospital in a panic.
The doctor said, “It seems to have ingested expired, spoiled cat food.”
But after checking thoroughly, we couldn’t find anything unusual.

Ethan comforted me, suggesting it was just Jesse’s age catching up with its digestive system.
To prevent this from happening again, he threw out all the old food and cans, replacing them with a new batch.
I thought it was all over.
But after hearing and seeing what they did today in the office,
it was clear that this wasn’t just a coincidence.
I prayed, silently begging God not to be so cruel.
Please, don’t take it away from me.

It was the only family I had left in this world.
Maybe God heard my prayers.
Jesse was saved.
was so overwhelmed with emotion, I fainted.
When I woke up, I found myself lying in a hospital bed.
Ethan stood by my side, his face dark with
anger.
“Rita, are you out of your mind? The doctor specifically warned that pregnant women shouldn’t have their emotions in turmoil. Why don’t you ever listen?”
“If anything happens to our child, how do you plan to make up for it?”

“Do you know how much I’ve been worrying about you?”
He leaned for wiping my tears.
