Hubby Aggressively Kicked Me Out of the Car While I was in Labor. Said: “Go to the Hospital on Foot”

Abandonment at the Hospital Gates

“Actually, I’m not feeling well today. I’m worried about the baby, so I’m going to rest at home,” I said. This was on the morning of the trip, hoping to use my condition as a reason to stay.

Samuel was skeptical. “You can just rest in the car and you’ll be fine”. “Come on, bring your luggage. We’re heading to my parents’ house, so hurry up”.

As we headed to the car loaded with luggage, I sat in the passenger seat. My anxiety was peaking.

Glancing down, I felt a surprising warmth at my feet. This was a stark contrast to the chill of the situation.

As I settled into the passenger seat, I suddenly felt an unexpected warmth at my feet. I noticed water spreading around them.

“Oh my, I think my water just broke!” I exclaimed, panic rising within me. “Samuel, we need to go to the hospital quickly!” I urged, urgency clear in my voice.

Taken aback, Samuel stuttered, “Are you serious?”.

“Yes, I’m serious! We need to get to the hospital now! The baby might be coming!”.

While trying to manage the situation, Samuel haphazardly grabbed a towel to clean up the water. In a sudden and shocking move, he opened the passenger door.

“Samuel, what are you doing? We need to go to the hospital!”.

“Get out! You’re going to make a mess in the car,” he said bluntly.

Completely shocked, I could barely comprehend his words. “What are you saying?”.

“I said get out! I need to clean the car,” he insisted. He then forcefully pulled me out of the car.

In this unbelievable moment, Samuel added insult to injury. “I can’t believe this. We were supposed to be on a family trip”.

“Just go to the hospital by yourself”.

Too shocked to formulate a response, I watched helplessly as he drove away. I was left stranded and overwhelmed.

Frantically, I dialed for an ambulance. But before it could arrive, a familiar voice called out.

“Helen, are you okay?” It was Amber, my neighbor, looking deeply concerned.

Quickly recognizing my predicament, she arranged for a special taxi. She comforted me throughout the ride to the hospital. Grateful for her kindness, tears streamed down my face.

Once at the hospital, Amber didn’t leave my side. She stayed until I was safely taken to my room. As labor pains grew, she held my hand, offering reassurance.

In the meantime, she contacted my parents, who arrived at the hospital soon after, looking deeply concerned.

“There’s something I want to discuss,” Amber whispered to them. The three left the room.

As my contractions intensified, my smartphone vibrated. “Who is it?” I asked, breathless from the pain.

“It’s Samuel,” my parents responded, their faces marked with displeasure.

Despite everything, I answered the call. I only heard a panicky Samuel on the other end.

“Help me,” he pleaded.

However, I was in no state or mood to deal with him and promptly ended the call. My parents, seeing my distress, turned off my phone to give me peace.

After enduring intense labor, I finally heard the cry of my newborn. Exhausted yet relieved, I saw my parents and Amber standing before me with warm smiles.

As I closed my eyes to rest, the support of my loved ones enveloped me.

When I awoke, I was still in the hospital bed, surrounded by my caring parents. My mother gently asked, “Are you okay?”.

Feeling the weight of exhaustion, I remained lying down, comforted by their presence. My father, teary-eyed from emotion, was consoled by my mother. The postpartum period can be exhausting.

Witnessing this heartwarming scene, despite the earlier ordeal, a smile formed on my face. I thought about my new baby.

After my parents informed me that my baby was undergoing some tests, I noticed Amber’s absence. The baby would soon return to the room.

My mother, sensing my unspoken question, explained that Amber had left a little earlier. Reflecting on the day’s events, gratitude for Amber washed over me.

I promised my parents that once discharged, I would visit Amber. I would make it a point to express my heartfelt thanks.

Turning on my smartphone to update my friends about the birth, I was greeted by a barrage of missed calls. Most of them were from Samuel.

The sheer number left me momentarily stunned. But feeling detached from any expectation of reconciliation, I dismissed the notifications without a second thought.

Soon one of my friends arrived at the hospital to congratulate me. As she shared her genuine wishes, I opened up about the recent distressing incidents with Samuel.

She listened intently, her shock and anger palpable. Half-jokingly, she mentioned she’d like to punish him a bit for his actions.

But she quickly reiterated that my health and rest were of utmost importance. After a comforting chat, she left.

I turned to face my parents, who had been briefed by Amber about everything. “What are you planning to do next?” they asked, concern etched on their faces.

I shared my thoughts about potentially divorcing Samuel. To my relief, they supported my decision.

In preparation for my discharge, they had already arranged a room for me at their home. They were offering a safe and supportive space.

Samuel had attempted to visit the hospital. However, I had instructed the staff that I did not wish to see him. He was not allowed entry.

The next day, Amber visited my hospital room, bearing a fruit basket.

“Amber, you came!” I exclaimed, delighted by her presence.

“You seem to be recovering well, but remember not to overexert yourself,” she advised gently. “Postpartum fatigue can be quite profound,” she added.

Taking the fruit basket from her, I expressed my deep gratitude. “Thank you so much, Amber, I don’t know what I would have done without you”. I bowed deeply in appreciation.

Amber chuckled softly. “What’s most important is that both you and the baby are healthy”. “I just wanted to lend a hand,” she continued.

As our conversation continued, Amber shared that she had discussed the incident with her husband. He was quite furious about the situation.

From her words, I could infer Samuel’s current predicament. “Amber, I’m truly sorry for dragging you into this mess,” I admitted, feeling a twinge of guilt.

“Don’t worry,” she reassured me. Her tone suddenly stern, revealing a side of her I hadn’t seen before.

“Remember, it’s thanks to my husband that Samuel has his job at the company”.

This was news to me. Amber was the wife of the CEO at the company where Samuel worked.

When we first moved to this residential area, I had no idea about this connection. However, as we frequently bumped into each other and occasionally shared tea, our relationship grew.

It was during these casual meetups that I learned about her husband’s significant role at the company. My husband, Samuel, was entirely unaware of Amber’s significant connection to his workplace.

This was mainly because he hadn’t joined me for the initial neighborhood introductions. He generally showed little interest in mingling with our neighbors.

Amber had previously confided in me. “I don’t want to cause any trouble, so please don’t tell your husband about this,” I had respected her request. I knew she didn’t want to stir any issues.

Despite her reservations, Amber had been a tremendous support. This was especially true given my pregnancy and Samuel’s unreasonable behavior.

She had often hinted at speaking to her husband about my situation. But I always declined, not wanting to complicate her life.

However, with the recent events, it seemed even Amber had reached her limit. “Amber, I really can’t thank you enough for everything,” I said, overwhelmed by her support.

Her firm stance made me realize how fortunate I was to have her in my corner. As I teared up, Amber gave me a comforting smile.

“Helen, you’re a dear friend to me. I can’t just stand by and watch when something like this happens to a friend”.

Despite my husband’s incessant messages, which I now chose to ignore, our conversation was filled with heartfelt smiles.

As I prepared to leave the hospital, my close friend visited. Handing me her smartphone, she said, “I want you to see this”.

She showed me a post that had gone viral on social media. It was about Samuel’s recent actions.

My friend, who had a substantial social media following, explained that one of her followers had captured the scene. This was the scene where Samuel yelled at me and forced me out of the car.

To protect my privacy, my face was blurred in the video. She had permitted it to be shared online.

The video had spread rapidly. Now, details about Samuel and even his company were being publicly scrutinized.

“My husband is now facing a barrage of criticism online,” I told Amber, stunned by the scale of the fallout.

My friend smiled slightly. “Well, they brought it upon themselves, didn’t they?”.

Indeed, Samuel’s choices led to this situation. Now, even his parents were being criticized online as the story spread through our community.

Just then my phone rang. It was a call from my mother-in-law. My friend glanced at the screen, suggesting mischievously:

“Why don’t you pick up and give her a piece of your mind?”.

But I was so drained by the entire ordeal that I felt no desire to engage further. I decided to ignore it.

Soon my missed call log was filled with names from Samuel’s side of the family. As my discharge date approached, I grew anxious.

This was about potentially encountering my husband or his parents lurking outside the hospital. My parents, sensing my distress, reassured me.

“You have nothing to worry about”.

This assurance was comforting, especially as we prepared to leave the hospital with my belongings. My focus now was on starting anew.

This meant prioritizing the safety and well-being of my baby and myself. It was to be free from the turmoil that had overshadowed recent days.

As I prepared to leave the hospital with my parents, a sudden commotion erupted. I heard my husband’s voice calling out my name, “Helen”. This was followed by the loud protests of my in-laws.

Just then, a group of men in black suits quickly formed a protective barrier around me. One of the men gently opened the car door for me. He assured me:

“Don’t worry, we’re here on sir’s request to protect you”.

It appeared that my parents had anticipated the situation. As my mom, with a reassuring smile, said:

“Didn’t I tell you? There’s nothing to worry about”.

Her words brought me a deep sense of relief. I smoothly slid into the car.

From the corner of my eye, I saw that my husband and his parents were overwhelmed. They were unable to come any closer due to the presence of the bodyguards.
