I had suspected another woman, but I never imagined that the woman would be pregnant.
Now I knew the truth, and my entire life seemed to be collapsing around me.
I took a deep breath and looked at him.
“Maybe we should consider adoption,” I said quietly. “We can give a child a home. We can still try for our own baby, but at least we won’t spend the rest of our lives suffering like this.”
Kelly turned toward me with an expression of disgust.
“Adoption? You want me to raise another man’s child?”
“Kelly, please don’t say it like that.”
“I want my own blood! I’ve waited six years. I’ve spent money in hospitals. I’ve followed you to prayer houses. And now you want me to bring somebody else’s child into my home?”
“I’m your wife, Kelly. I’m suffering too!”
He laughed bitterly.
“Are you not barren?”
For a moment, I couldn’t breathe.
