Her mouth opened.
I raised one hand.
“No. You came into my ultrasound appointment behind my husband, proud to watch me be humiliated. You stood there waiting for a doctor to measure my shame. The only reason you’re quiet nowis because the truth pointed at you instead.”
Dr. Salinas stepped between us slightly.
“This appointment is over. Mr. Diego, Ms. Paula, you need to leave.”
Diego did not move.
“Laura, we need to talk.”
I looked at the doctor.
“Can you call someone from reception?”
She nodded immediately.
Within a minute, a nurse appeared at the door.
Diego looked shocked.
As if he could not believe I would remove him from a room he had invaded.
“I’m your husband,” he said.
I held the ultrasound photos tighter.
“For now.”
His face changed.
The same way it had when he saw the pregnancy test.
