Scarlett’s POV
Sitting in the taxi to another hospital -- the hospital where SHE is, to see him. I feel sick. Carsick, morning sick, or just...sick of this trip.
This is the trip I hate the most, and this is a trip I have been taking for ten years: she is always in the hospital, and he is always around her, even before our marriage.
That’s what happens when your crush loves your sister who has Willebrand, combined with a RH- blood type, no less.
Yes, the illness where one can’t heal from bleeding, with the blood type that only 0.3% of people have.
Even a small cut on a finger could be lethal to her. That’s why she is the spoiled treasure of the whole family, the untouchable, the miracle that gets everything she wants by just existing.

My parents have only Ava in their eyes. My brother hates me as if I stole my health from Ava.
No, I just stole her man.
But they hated me even before that. Marrying Sebastian only let their hidden hatred out of the bag.
But I did steal, and I paid for it. I married him, and I got only five years of torment from him.
I thought loving him with all I have could amend for my sin, and I paid with all the love I can find in me. I thought it was my life a dream coming true when I married him, I guess I should have known when I spent our wedding night alone that...
...He will never be the little hero who saved me ten years ago. Not for me, never again.
[Sorry, I guess the plan is back on...after all. Are you still available?] I text Aurora. I feel bad that I just told her to cancel my flight when I was told it would be a one-ticket-for-two.
[For you? Always.]
I close my eyes. It’s decided then.
I can’t back out of it now. He won’t let me. He has been waiting for these divorce papers forever.
I just need to figure out what the baby means in this mess. Well, probably a question only I need to answer. He wouldn’t want anything to do with the baby, and Ava...
