At seven months pregnant, Lena\u2019s world shattered when she discovered her husband\u2019s affair. The shock sent her to the hospital, where her distress worsened. Her husband, abandoning her, packed his belongings and left for his mistress, leaving Lena alone, hooked to an IV, and sobbing. In her vulnerable state, her mother-in-law entered the ward, sitting on the bed\u2019s edge with a cold demeanor. \u201cLena, I never liked you, so\u2026\u201d she began, her words cutting deeper into an already broken heart.<\/p>\n
Tears streamed as Lena braced for more cruelty, but the mother-in-law paused, her expression softening. \u201cI didn\u2019t raise my son to be this way,\u201d she admitted, voice trembling. \u201cI\u2019m ashamed he left you like this, especially now.\u201d She reached for Lena\u2019s hand, a rare gesture of support. \u201cYou and the baby deserve better. I\u2019ll help you through this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stunned, Lena felt a flicker of hope. The mother-in-law vowed to stand by her, ensuring the baby\u2019s future.
