Man Leaves Sick Wife For Mistress, But Her Revenge Surprises Everyone
The hospital became their second home. Evan brought her coffee each morning and slept in the recliner at night. He read aloud when she was too tired to speak, filled silence with small talk about bills and work.
For the first few weeks, they were a team.
Then came the bills — thick envelopes that grew heavier with every delivery. Even with insurance, the costs mounted faster than either of them could manage. Evan picked up extra shifts, came home later, his energy drained but his tone still hopeful. “Just a little longer,” he’d say. “We’ll get ahead of it.”
But she saw the cracks forming. His smile didn’t reach his eyes anymore. When he thought she was asleep, he’d stare at the floor, rubbing his temples as if trying to remember how to breathe.
The treatments took everything from her — strength, appetite, hair, the illusion of control. Her reflection became a stranger’s face. Evan told her she was beautiful, but exhaustion hollowed his words. Love had turned into duty.
