5

I tossed and turned that night, and went to the hospital in the morning with two obvious dark circles under my eyes. When I left, my wife was still in deep sleep. My father had been transferred from the ICU to the general ward, and his condition had improved.

"Patrick, you and Theresa have been married for three years. You have to hurry up and have a baby." There was a hint of anxiety in my mother's words, as if my father's condition improving was the best time for her to urge us to have children.

The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, and I felt mixed emotions. If my wife is pregnant now, who the father of the child is is an unknown mystery.

After leaving the hospital, I walked heavily towards the residence of my wife's cheating partner. At this time, the online car-hailing app prompted me that I had a new order. When I looked at the last digit of the number, it turned out to be that familiar yet strange man.

He soon appeared in my sight, with a woman leaning against him. The woman held his hand intimately, and he gently kissed the woman on the forehead, then walked towards my car with a smile.

"We are really destined to meet each other. I called your car again." He said with a smile.

I forced a smile and said, "Yes, it's fate."

In the car, we chatted. I learned that his name was Hugh and he worked in a pharmaceutical company. His wife was a nurse and often had to work night shifts, which provided him with an opportunity to have an affair with his wife.

"Have you been with the woman from the neighborhood yesterday for a long time? Won't your wife find out?" I asked tentatively.

Hugh suddenly reached out and patted my shoulder gently, with a strange smile on his face: "She came to have an affair with me on the second night of her marriage. My wife obeys me, how could she doubt me?"

Through the rearview mirror, I saw Hugh's face was filled with smugness. But my heart was like a volcanic eruption, painful and angry. She actually betrayed our marriage on the second day of our marriage.
