I Walked Out While He Begged

My husband burst through the OR doors on Christmas Eve, not for me, but for his mistress, whose baby I had just delivered. He declared his love for her, telling her they finally had "their own family." But the real horror was still to come: I realized the prenatal vitamins he'd lovingly given me for a month had been tampered with-they were meant to harm our unborn child.

I was Dr. Erin Ramsey, five months pregnant, living a "fairy tale" marriage. That illusion shattered when Aiden, my husband, rushed past me in the operating room to embrace Debbra May, my patient-his mistress of four years.
