Tabitha's POV
I was placed on the operating table, and Derek stood by my side.
He looked at me, who was in utter despair, his face showing a tangled mix of emotions.
"Tabitha, stop with the tears. I told you we'd have more kids later, a ton of them. Both me and our kids will be with you."
"Derek, I have no future anymore. These two children are my only hope!"
I still tried to talk him out of it. "Derek, just wait a little longer. In three months at most, you will know that I didn't lie to you."
"Tabitha, I won't change my mind. Just hang tight. The surgery will be over soon."
Derek seemed unwilling to stay here any longer, probably scared he'd cave.
He turned around, ready to leave. Seeing this, I kept on pleading, "Derek, don't go, trust me! Why can't you just believe what I say?
