He Chose His First Love Over My Dying Child

Outside the delivery room, Ethan walked out on my emergency C-section to save his first love's baby.

"Nora, Chloe is hemorrhaging. She's dying—she can't survive without me."

"You've always been the strong one. You can pull through without me. You understand, right?"

When I woke up in the ICU, I was hooked up to countless tubes and monitors.

The nurse told me my baby girl didn't make it.

I shook uncontrollably. It felt like someone had carved a gaping hole straight through my chest.

Over two hundred days of pregnancy. Ninety-nine hormone injections. All for the daughter I had prayed for.
