I Found Out My Husband Signed Hospital Papers to Save the Baby, Not Me, While I Was Unconscious — the Truth Was Cruel


Thankfully, the doctors saved my baby’s life. However, I later discovered my husband had signed papers choosing her over me while I was unconscious. This betrayal uncovered a web of lies.

For ten years, Tim and I had endured fertility struggles. Finally, my pregnancy was perfect—until the day of the birth.

I became unconscious because of a complication during delivery. I woke to find my daughter, Lily, in a bassinet and Tim with red eyes. He explained there had been complications, but we were both okay.

Recovering, I found papers showing Tim had authorized the doctors to prioritize our baby’s life over mine. My world shattered further when I overheard Tim talking to my nurse, Vivian, revealing an aff:air.

As I confronted Tim, I learned he had chosen Lily over me under Vivian’s influence. Devastated, I sought a divorce with support from my best friend Mia.

Our divorce was quick, and I got full custody of Lily. Despite the awkwardness of co-parenting with Tim, I focused on building a new life for Lily and me.
