He Chose Her While I Bled

Summary

The day the typhoon warning was upgraded to a severe category threat, I went to the hospital for my prenatal checkup alone.

On my way back, the coastal bridge was shut down due to flooding, trapping me in the emergency room lobby.

That was when Cora—Jared’s childhood sweet, frail best friend—called him, sobbing into the receiver that the thunder was scaring her to death.

He abandoned me, driving through a city submerged in gale-force winds and downpours just to hold her hand.
