Gynaecologist: โYour wife gave birth here seventeen years ago.โ
Man: โMy wife has never been pregnant.โ
The doctor looked at him.
Doctor: โAre you sure?โ
Man: โAbsolutely.โ
Doctor: โThen you need to ask her why her name is in our maternity records.โ
He stared at the file.
His wifeโs name.
Her date of birth.
A delivery record.
Male child.
Seventeen years ago.
Man: โThis has to be a mistake.โ
Doctor: โIt isnโt.โ
Man: โWe werenโt even married then.โ
Doctor: โI know.โ
He took a photograph from the file.
A seventeen-year-old girl was holding a newborn baby.
It was his wife.
Man: โWhy didnโt she tell me?โ
Doctor: โBecause she was told the baby died.โ
His heart sank.
Man: โWho told her?โ
The doctor looked at the signature on the discharge papers.
Doctor: โHer mother.โ
He immediately called his wife.
Wife: โWhatโs wrong?โ
Man: โDid you have a baby seventeen years ago?โ
Silence.
Then she whispered:
Wife: โWho told you?โ
He closed his eyes.
She knew.
