Loving Him Killed the Only Family I Had

The day before our wedding, my boyfriend suddenly asked me to buy him a Mercedes.

He looked at me with those helpless eyes.

"You’re pregnant and can’t work. Supporting the family and raising the baby falls on me. Buying a car would make it easier for me to manage both work and taking care of you."

To help me, my mother handed over her life savings.

"Mom’s getting old. As long as you’re happy, that’s enough for me. I understand Drew’s concerns; holding a family together isn’t easy. I’ll pay for the car."

But just three months after the wedding, my mother was diagnosed with stomach cancer.
