Wife Bears Child for First Love, I Awaken, Join MSF Forever, Now She Regrets

Chapter 1

**Prelude**

The day my wife gave birth to the child of her terminally ill first love, my in-laws had ten bodyguards posted outside the delivery room.

And even after the baby was born, I didn't show up to cause a scene.

My mother-in-law held Ottilie's hand, clearly relieved. "Don't worry, Ottilie. We've got eyes on the door. He won't get past us."

"Your father's got people guarding the entrance too. If he even tries to interfere, we'll call the cops."

Ottilie gave a weak nod, but her eyes still flicked toward the elevator. Once she saw it was empty, she seemed to relax.

She couldn't understand why I couldn't just support her decision to help her first love leave behind a legacy.

I glanced over at the newborn in the nurse's arms, wailing as she held the baby. Ottilie smiled, the kind of smile that said she was certain everything would be okay once I came to visit tomorrow. She thought I'd come around and even be willing to step up as the child's father.

But what she didn't know was that I'd already submitted my application to join Doctors Without Borders.

In just seven days, I'd renounce my citizenship, become stateless, and never look back.
