Chapter 2
Beside me, Sarah answered Patrick’s call.
“Can you and Cat stop being so unreasonable? Do you want to get a divorce over something so trivial? You knew about Megs long before the wedding!
“What’s wrong with Matthew and I caring for our sister? Don’t threaten us with a fake pregnancy and a miscarriage. I barely touthed you after we married. Given your health, there’s no way you could be pregnant. And let’s be real, I don’t believe you would willingly walk away from being the wife of a Brosnan. That’s a privilege a girl like you only dreams of.”
Tears streamed down Sarah’s face as she cradled her stomach. But then she forced a smile. “You may not believe me now, Patrick but I’ll make you change your mind.”
“What a load of crap!” he snapped and then hung up.
In the hospital room, Sarah and I exchanged glances. We wanted to cry but stifled our tears and forced a bitter smile.
For the next two days, neither Matthew nor Patrick attempted to reach out.
Sarah and I focused on recovering in the hospital and hired a divorce lawyer to draft the divorce agreement.
When we were ready, we mailed it to Matthew and Patrick.
Sarah had added something a little extra.
“Since Patrick doesn’t believe that I was pregnant,” she said, “I’ll show him our baby!”
After mailing the divorce agreement, Sarah and I returned to the hospital room. Bored, I started scrolling through videos on my
phone.
Then a video titled “Heroes to the Rescue” popped up on my feed.
