One day, a pregnant woman referred from another hospital arrived for her appointment. Upon hearing her name—the same as Paul’s affair partner—I couldn’t help but wonder if it was a coincidence. When she confirmed her husband’s name was Paul, a doctor, it became undeniable. She was my ex-husband’s new wife.

Days passed, and I found myself unable to address the situation. Then, one day, Paul and his wife came in for a checkup. Paul’s eyes widened in surprise upon seeing me, his face a mixture of shock and contempt. Truthfully, I had hoped to avoid such encounters.
