My Father-in-Law Died While My Wife Was with Her First Love

My father-in-law had been in a serious car accident, with a steel rod piercing his body and his life hanging by a thread.

The rod was dangerously close to his heart, making the surgery extremely difficult, and it had to be performed by my wife, who was an experienced surgeon.

At that moment, however, my wife was in bed with her first love, completely unaware of the emergency.

I urged her to come back, but she accused me of using this situation as a tactic to get her attention.

On the way back from burying my father-in-law, I ran into Grace Lynn. She rushed over and slapped me hard.

"So, you've been following me here? Can't live without me, can you?"

I shot back, "Whether I can live or not, I don't know, but your father is dead because of you."

***

Early one morning, I received a call from the hospital.

The doctor informed me that my father-in-law had been in a car accident, with a steel bar piercing his body, and his life was in grave danger.

I immediately dropped everything and rushed to the hospital.

Upon my arrival, I saw a large group of doctors pushing my father-in-law into the intensive care unit.

The attending physician approached me, patted my shoulder, and sighed deeply.

Anxiously, I grabbed his hand and asked about my father-in-law's condition.

The doctor, with a heavy heart, said, "I'm very sorry. Your father-in-law has a steel bar embedded in his body, and it's too close to the heart. I'm afraid there's not much we can do."

Hearing this, my heart sank, and I collapsed onto the floor.

"Doctor, please, you have to save my father-in-law! I'll pay whatever it takes!"

The attending physician looked at me and shook his head.

"This isn't a matter of money; we simply don't have anyone here capable of performing the surgery. If we could get Dr. Lynn, the medical expert, to do the operation, the chances of success would be higher. But... Dr. Lynn is extremely busy and has many patients. It's unlikely we can get her here."

At that moment, hope ignited within me.

Dr. Lynn was my wife, my father-in-law's own daughter.

If I could just get her to come back, my father-in-law would have a chance.

Without hesitation, I dialed my wife's number.

After many attempts, she finally answered.

I could hear her breathy voice on the other end.

I wasted no time and urgently told her to return.

"Where are you? You need to come to City Second Hospital right away."

There was a pause on the line, and then she lazily replied, "What's going on? I'm at work, and I don't have time for your nonsense."

"Your dad was in a car accident and is in critical condition. You have to come back to perform the surgery!" I insisted.

I expected her to rush back upon hearing the news, but instead, she laughed.

"What? You think you can trap me like this? You think this cheap trick will get my attention?"

"You want me to come back? Not a chance! If you tell my dad, I won't return. Let's see what you can do about it!"

With that, she hung up the phone.
